Is this world actually STAGED? & spiritual reading: life as a vivid dream; & race overrated: Nordic-DNA Sweden a chilly, leftist nightmare

Modern Sweden proves — after 90 years of leftist socialism and jew-owned media — that while race is something, it is not everything.

….spiritual reading

December 30

We have something to speak of today that may be hard for some of you to hear, and yet, if you relax your tenacious hold on this life, your life—past, present, future—and your investment in a certain value and vision you place on it, you could find this message to be invigorating and vastly liberating.

This is radical stuff, and you will need to receive it as such. However, each and every one of you is, in your own way, radical. In the sense that you are willing to step outside the expected and consented-to norms that tend to govern life in your dimension.

Many of you are familiar with the concept of ‘maya,’ or ‘lila.’ Or the idea that what you are living is a kind of dream. Or simply an illusion. A stage, a play, a drama that has no inherent reality.

The challenge you face each day, then, is how to live well and with all your being when you know that you are simply an actor in
a transient performance.

*** JdN: This seemingly real physical universe is actually somewhat bogus

Max Planck, Werner Heisenberg and other German quantum physicists overthrew a century ago the idea that this material universe is entirely real.

It just ain’t…. It seems real, but so does a good movie. It does grip you, and yet it is all a story.

Look — If a physical object acts one way when you are not looking at it, and then another way when you ARE staring at it, then, well, umm, there is just one conclusion: this universe is actually, literally, a kind of play, something put on for our moral benefit, a place for us to grow, learn, evolve and change, a kind of school….. a story in which we are the actors — actors who ACCEPTED OUR PARTS; OUR ROLES, BEFOREHAND — IN OUR REINCARNATIONAL INTERLIFE.  

The electron-split experiment that proves this universe is kind-of FAKE actually goes back more than that, yes, the proof came a full two hundred years ago…

Wolf, however, is on a crusade to say “But modern science proves the very opposite, that it is this material world that is an illusion!” This electron anomaly was observed by the great mathematician Leonhard Euler of Switzerland AND by the famous American scientist, publisher, businessman and politician Benjamin Franklin already 250 years ago….. (Franklin was also an Aryan nordicist, btw. He wanted only immigrants from Northern Europe to America.)

And the electron-split experiment itself was first done by the British scientist Thomas Young in 1803.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Young_(scientist)

So how exactly can electrons act like both particles shooting forward (the arrows below) and yet also as waves?

Why does it depend on whether you are looking at it??? What the heck is going on here? 😉

A bullet (particle) is simply not the same as a wave.

This is a definite anomaly and a contradiction, suggesting that God is dropping an enormous hint on us NOT to view this world as something to be taken overly seriously, but instead like either a tearjerker movie or a comedy. 😉 Or both….

With movies, we simply accept the illogical things in the plot for the sake of a good story. As the easy-going yet wise Italians say, “Si non è vero, è ben trovato.” = “If it is not true, still it is well told.” 

Atheists try to debunk Wolf, a very experienced physicist, and the plain meaning of this electron double-slit experiment. They are also at pains to gloss over the “quantum leap” in modern physics, where an electron leaves an inner shell and goes instantly to an outer shell, with no lapse in time at all.

But how can a physical object travel a distance from point a to point b in 0.0 seconds?

In reality, the electron literally vanishes at the inner shell and re-appears at the exact same time on the outer shell…. This too suggests the material world is an illusion, although a very elaborate one!

The world is just a classroom for young souls, an elementary school for young souls.

There is indeed a totally opposite way to explain all this….that actually everything is real, everything is matter, even heaven and God, and where we go when we die is just to a material but higher-frequency area.

Then there is no more dichotomy between spirit and matter, between religion and science, and people have less of a sense of us talking about fairy tales here, God being unfortunately the biggest fairy tale of all to the materialists.

What we really are talking about is a “multiverse,” not a universe, with many dimensions existing and all occupying the same space — but operating on different frequencies.

In the same way, your house is throbbing with different frequencies:

— cell phone calls,

— tv signals,

— microwave ovens cooking something,

— wireless internet perhaps too, and, of course,

— radio —

….and all are occupying and penetrating the same house… from top to bottom, all co-existing, interwoven, and usually not interfering with each other. In fact, they are usually peacefully coexisting and separated, except a microwave oven can cause static on a radio.

In this scientific way of seeing reality plus religion, it is “normal” for an electron to vanish and reappear at the same moment. It ducked into another dimension, where none of the rules of our dimension apply at all. It made a shortcut.

One simply HAS to think outside the box, or one cannot explain how an electron can be both a particle and a wave, and vanish and reappear elsewhere at the same moment.

God is dropping for us here some really big hints that He exists, and if scoffers want to scoff, well, the Big Guy is just fine with that too.

Note that in this article on quantum mysticism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mysticism every single Jew scientist listed — Einstein, Murry Gell-Man and Steven Weinberg — attacks the fact that modern physics supports the existence of God, and it is the Aryan scientists who line up to support the truth that modern physics proves the existence of God.

(But this god is neither a senile old man in a white beard nor some forgive-everything sort of yin being, or a cutesy Baby Jesus. It is a realistic, loving but stern, Heavenly Father — to use Jesus’ phrase — who gives everyone what they deserve and valiant efforts do count with Him.)

The Protocols of the Elders of Zion advocate strongly that the goyeem be made atheistic, because then they will fear to die and, thinking they do not have a soul (just a myth, they are told), they fear they will be dead forever.

MOST then prefer to live a long life as a slave, not a short life as a hero, and refuse to make the supreme sacrifice, laying their life down for 1) the safety and future of their women and children, and 2) the survival of their race and nation.

Atheism = worrying about dying

Theism = there is a God who expects every man to do his duty…. and you will face His fury in both this life and after death if you chose to live as a coward — as your women and children are destroyed.

If you wish to join the Jews and scoff at God, then you will fall into a pit of despair and end up like Lasha Darkmoon, whose work I admired greatly but who dropped out of our Cause in despair.

“All the world’s a stage” is the phrase that begins a monologue from William Shakespeare‘s [= Edward de Vere’s!] pastoral comedy As You Like It, spoken by the melancholy Jaques in Act II Scene VII Line 139.

The speech compares the world to a stage and life to a play and catalogues the seven stages of a man’s life, sometimes referred to as the seven ages of man.

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely Players;
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His Acts being seven ages. At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school. And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice,
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modern instances;
And so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound. Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.

The comparison of the world to a stage and people to actors long predated Shakespeare. Richard Edwards‘ play Damon and Pythias, written in the year Shakespeare was born, contains the lines, “Pythagoras said that this world was like a stage / Whereon many play their parts; the lookers-on, the sage”.^[2] When it was founded in 1599 Shakespeare’s own theatre, The Globe, may have used the motto Totus mundus agit histrionem (All the world plays the actor), the Latin text of which is derived from a 12th-century treatise.^[3] Ultimately the words derive from quod fere totus mundus exercet histrionem (because almost the whole world are actors) attributed to Petronius, a phrase which had wide circulation in England at the time.

In his own earlier work, The Merchant of Venice, Shakespeare also had one of his main characters, Antonio, comparing the world to a stage:

I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano;
A stage where every man must play a part,
And mine a sad one.

— Act I, Scene I

In his work The Praise of Folly, first printed in 1511, Renaissance humanist Erasmus asks, “For what else is the life of man but a kind of play in which men in various costumes perform until the director motions them off the stage.“^[4]

***

For the most part, it works well to forget what you have read or even experienced in this way, and  concentrate on what is in front of you. Yes, yes, you say, it is all illusion, but I care about that illusion. I am invested and even attached to that illusion.

It is, after all, the illusion that you are living. To hold simultaneously the knowledge that it is just the play of consciousness and matters not at all, and the conviction that you are here to give your best requires a high level of mastery. Or so it would seem.

But here is what we want to tell you: none of it matters. Truly, you exist on a vast plain, with your sense of who you are contracted and made small enough to fit into human conception. This is a game you chose to play, but in the context of another game. Like Russian nesting dolls, there is one illusion set into the center of the next. One play that exists in the story of another. And that one emerges from the heart of yet another game. And so it goes, as far as one might see.

When you think about this, it will likely have one of two effects: either it will make you nauseous and dizzy because it so upturns your notion of yourself, or it will set you free. A third possibility is that it will make you angry….

Any of them are fine. But it is good to give it some thought. Because you see, if indeed you are not only not who you seem to be, and still yet not who you think you might be under that, then who are you?

And if you have the capacity to drop into the vastness and the emptiness which echoes around you when you ask that question, then you may find that since nothing matters, since nothing has any solidity or eternity, you are at liberty to play this particular game with joyful abandon.

Why not? All this talk of school and lessons and karma and growth and attainment and attunement and ascension and so on…these are all part of the game and you can choose to play by the rules and stay in school if that feels right to you.

But once you see that these are not part and parcel of a deeper truth, and rather another level of gaming, you can choose to skip school, to go lark in the meadow and roll in the sweet grass and smell the earth for no earthly or etheric reason but the fun of it.

Here is what we want to tell you: you have nothing to do. You can do things and that is fine. If you are enjoying it, by all means. If it makes you feel safe and comforted, do! But if you grow weary of the stories, if you find that your heart isn’t in it anymore, then just be. Be the vastness and the emptiness. Or be anything you fancy being. You can, you know. You can be a monster. You can be a saint. You can be an innocent or a leader. Just take care not to believe any of it.

What happens there, in your dimension, has absolutely no transcendent meaning.

This shouldn’t be taken as an urging to indulge yourself in things that you fear—using power wrongly, taking what you’ve always been afraid to take, disregarding others. This is an invitation to explore the possibility that there is no separation and there is no meaning. Everything you do to another, you do to yourself. That is a principle that holds. But there is no ladder to climb, no apex to achieve. All healing—if you really want to think in terms of healing– can be instantaneous when you really grasp that what you live, as your reality, is nothing more than an adventure you created and chose to embark upon. 

To take it too seriously is to be in its thrall. To suffer is normal when you are in its thrall. That is part of the game. And since you are here, in the game, you will suffer. Some of you modestly, others, it has to be said, quite awfully. But how you think about it is up to you. How you understand it is up to you. And what you do with the opportunity to see beyond it is up to you.

Whenever you can, we invite you to play in the rain and eat wild berries till you are sated and love your persona as you love your soul, and sing without reserve just because that is a privilege and a joy that comes along with this illusion.

Someday, you will finish up, get to the end of this particular story or round (and in this game, the turns all end the same way, don’t they?) and after that, you’ll fnd that there are further chances for you to decide if you want to play or not. But for now, since you are dealt in, as it were, why not have some fun?

We send you much love and many blessings.

…..The toxicity of sacrificing the individual for the collective. My Swedish nightmare (dark humour)

by JdN guest writer

Over the past few years I’ve travelled a great deal between Britain and Sweden due to my work….and it’s fair to say that it has been quite the experience. Not all bad, mind you, but, generally speaking, it’s been unpleasant to say the least.

Although I’ve met a few nice people during my travels to Sweden, and on occasion enjoyed myself, it’s fair to say that Sweden is, hands down, the worst place I have ever visited.

Although I’ve never been to California or places like Portland or Provincetown [= the gay hotspot on the tip of Cape Cod], Sweden is Europe’s answer to the sort of degeneracy one finds in American Communist hellholes.

The last few years has been a hectic period for me, with my work taking me all over the globe. Although I’ve spent the majority of my life in England, I’ve sojourned in Italy, France (both the metropolitan north and Provence) and Germany, as well as spent time in Asia, Australia and the Americas as a young man.

AnfI can say without reservation that there’s nowhere I felt less comfortable than in New World Ordet Sweden.

Ironically, though, I feel many people shown that list might put Sweden atop a survey of the world’s best and freest places to live. A nation so “free” and “democratic” its government fabricated a phony rape charge against Julian Assange at the behest of the American Deep State….

JdN:Two heroes, one in jail, the other in Russian exile: Julian Assange and Edward Snowden

In fact, whenever I return home to Britain and tell my colleagues I have been in Sweden, I am greeted with the same rubbish one hears from the likes of MSNBC and CNN in America: “Wow, Sweden? It is such a wonderful country, so democratic and progressive.”

Brainwashed cretins on my side of the Atlantic espouse the same misguided belief that Sweden is a Leftist utopia replete with socially conscious citizens (think the once mute, mentally ill Greta Thunberg), a loving caring State and the sort of egalitarian society we should all aspire to.

Making matters worse is the fact that there are highly intelligent and influential people in our movement – like the esteemed Dr Kevin MacDonald for example – who misattribute the Swedish people’s Leftist, “tolerant” and misguidedly welcoming (they’re not!) manner to some sort of misguided altruism. (Kmac refers to it as “pathological altruism.”) This purported fellow feeling is rooted in Sweden’s bitterly cold and hostile climate and supposedly birthed all kinds of  cooperation, kindness and community spirit.

The cognitive dissonance both experts on the left and right exhibit when they are confronted by the reality of what life is REALLY like in Sweden, and how the Swedes REALLY are as a people, demonstrates how pundits on both sides allow ideology and wishful thinking to skew their thinking.

How some white nationalists view the Swedes, in fact, reminds me of how Leftists view the American native Indian and the liberal notion of the compassionate, noble, innately kind and universally wise native savage.

Both baseless illusions, rooted in fantasy rather than fact – were created to reinforce ideological delusions rather than admit sociological and historical realities.

Many on the Left, and quite remarkably even some on the Right, believe that in spite of the fact that there are more murders and rapes in Sweden per capita than ANYWHERE in Western Europe – in a country with a massive landmass almost 15% larger than California but with less than one quarter the population – and regardless of the exorbitant cost of fuel, oppressive levels of taxation on such luxuries as food and pharmaceutics, that Sweden is still a decent place to live.

The fact that there is a community of German nationalists literally living in central Sweden as I write this, in spite of the fact it is a far worse place to live than even Germany after 80 years of Zionist occupation, should tell you there’s a massive disconnect between what people believe about Sweden is, and how that country really is.

Even if Sweden were still all-white, which it is not, and 20 degrees warmer in winter, which it also is not, it would remain as far from utopic as bloody Somalia – the violent East-African shithole to which nearly ten percent of contemporary Swedes can trace their ancestry.

Socialism and something inherently wrong with the people that inhabit nations like Sweden and Finland have, in my opinion, rendered that part of the world uninhabitable for any sane person.

Instead of comparing Sweden to still somewhat traditional and highly cultured Latin and Mediterranean nations like France and Italy, where in spite of their bureaucracies, one STILL feels safer and freer, I’ll attempt to give John’s largely American audience an understanding of what it is like living in the long ultra-socialist Sweden by comparing it to another Nordic nation I spend much of my life in, England.

Over the next few paragraphs, I will attempt to elucidate why white nationalists should NEVER, EVER look to model their societies on nations like Sweden, Denmark and Iceland.

(Even the ads are demented. And, yes, EVEN worse than yours…)

To begin, I’d like to say that although most of the evidence I will present is anecdotal rather than empirical. And as such, based on personal experience and observations I made over about a three-year period, I do think one has to trust one’s gut when passing an opinion about a country they’ve lived in. One’s gut instinct, (dis)comfort level and how they feel around the people and customs native to that land and culture is often the best measure of what life’s like in that nation.

The first huge difference between Sweden and England that I notice whenever I arrive back in England from an extended trip is people are far more open and friendly in Britain.

Although many Americans, for some reason, are of the impression that Brits are mostly aloof and at times snooty, make no mistake — the average Brit likes to laugh and speak while out in public. The same cannot be said for the icy Swedes.

Although one might ordinarily attribute a nation’s personality to its culture, it is my opinion that the oppressive nature of the Swedish State has to have contributed something to the equation.

While Swedes were never going to be as ebullient as Italians, passionate as the French or wild-eyed as the Irish, Sweden’s been under leftist socialism for almost 100 years.

And while a cold selfishness abounds in Sweden, there’s no place for true individualism under socialism.

I was confronted by this the very first week I arrived in Sweden, where I was immediately struck by how “sleepy” the people appeared.

I recall I needed some furniture for the apartment I was staying in, so I took a trip to the local mall with my girlfriend at the time.

It might sound silly, but there’s nothing more disconcerting than being in a shopping mall in Europe, “the Old World,”  and the only thing you can hear is American hip hop and pop music, oh, and the squeaking heels of women’s shoes.

Not the sound of children playing, local music, or the chatter of foreign voices. Just American music on rotation and people walking around a shopping center in utter silence.

Swedish people (unless they are drunk) and even if they are crammed together like sardines in a shopping mall, will rarely speak to one another. Even friends rarely talk while out and about….unless drunk, of course. 😉

The ambience in a shopping mall in Sweden is about as vapid as a plate of day-old Gefilte fish and matzo-meal crackers.

And speaking of food…..Instead of malls showcasing Swedish restaurants serving Swedish food (I presume there is genuine Swedish food, although I never found any outside of the odd meatball… and pickled herring on toast) all I have ever seen in Swedish retail centres is Burger King, MacDonald’s, Starbucks and KFC!

In England there are still pubs, local fast (and slow) food restaurants. In France, there’s an array of local cafés, bistros and restaurants; and in Italy, locally owned gelaterias and pizzerias abound.

Nut in Sweden there is nothing, apart from American homogenous fast food and the occasional Swedish knock-off also selling (guess what?) American fast food.

Famous Motta cafe in Milano’s Galleria mall

Then there’s the ambiance of the place and the feeling one gets around the people….

In Britain, a nation I still love in spite of its issues, people will make small talk with you pretty much everywhere you go. Doesn’t matter if you are rich, poor, fat or thin, attractive or not, or even a bloody foreigner!! People will chat with one another on line in the shops, on the street, in the pubs and just about everywhere else people congregate. Kids are out and about, making noise, and people are behaving like…well, people. Some folks are nice, some are not so nice….but, for the most part, one thing they share is their love of what the Brits refer to as “banter”.

In pubs, people will sing songs about their favourite football team while they spout off about Boris Johnson and Jeremy Corbyn. The banter is more potent when Brits are drunk, but still present in abundance when they’re not. Next door in Ireland, I suppose one would refer to this as “Craic.”

From Eastern Europe to France and Italy, and up to the British Isles, Europeans are typically a noisy bunch. We love to laugh, joke and enjoy ourselves. Even the Slavs with whom I have spent a good deal of time are a lively bunch, with or without the booze, in spite of their reputation for being sullen, depressive and dark. I’ve had some of my most enjoyable (and frightening 😉 nights with the Slavs.

The people of Sweden, though, are the only people I have encountered who rarely speak to one another in public, again, unless they are pissed drunk.

In Sweden, people will look at you as though you’re some kind of “nutter” if you try to make small talk and will look for the first opportunity to evade the conversation, especially if you try and discuss politics.

I mentioned in the previous paragraph that it doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor in Britain.  But in Sweden, which prides itself on being egalitarian,  the fact remains that Swedes with a bit of cash are the last people to ever speak to another Swede from a lower socioeconomic background, let alone a foreigner or immigrant.

A hillbilly from northern Sweden will be about as well received in Stockholm as an American wearing a MAGA hat is in San Francisco. 😉

In spite of Kevin MacDonald’s belief that people are more community-orientated in Scandinavia and subsequently work together as a unit more than nations that value individualism like Britain and America, I found the opposite to be the case.

Brits are far more social and, in fact, care far more about one another than Swedes do.

From my experience, most Swedes care much more about what the other bloke think of them than they do about how their fellow man is faring.

In Sweden the technique of both virtue signalling and not giving a $hit about others is almost as popular as it on Martha’s Vineyard, an island of the super-rich off the coast of lefty Massachusetts.

*** JdN: I noticed this in Germany and Austria too, an obsession with what others think of you, and a need to trash-talk the neighbors

One sees pointless feuds in every race and country, but among the Teutons it can get really bad, because there is this fault-finding urge in them, the darker side of germanic perfectionism.

In Brandenberg, Tyrol, Austria, whence my first wife hailed, the landscape and the architecture are sooooo incredibly beautiful, and the locals hard-working, detail-minded, clean, neat and basically honest. Street crime is near zero.

But sure enough, even in gorgeous, spectacular, breathtakingly beautiful Austria, we see trouble in paradise. People on this insane planet just have to be JUDGMENTAL, CRITICAL, UNFAIR, GOSSIPY, HOSTILE  and NASTY, even if it takes bringing up and rehashing some really old stuff, even verrrrry old stuff!

Brandenberg

Telfes in the nearby Stubai Valley.. You would think people could find peace and happiness in such places, but no…. There has to be strife.

So, anyway, this is the biggest hotel-restaurant in Brandenberg, the Neuwirt.

I was visiting my then-wife’s parents, who ran a nice bakery, were very nice folks and had seven kids, my wife being the first-born.

Well, some bread or pastry had to be delivered quickly up the street to the Neuwirt.

My father-in-law said to one of the kids: “Take it over to the Hurer.”  

I thought, understanding perfectly both High German and also the local dialect,

“Hunh, what? Hurer?” 

The word “die Hure” means “a whore”…and “der Hurer” a “John,” a male customer of a prostitute!

What the…?

I asked one of my wife’s very blond younger brothers, R., what that was all about.

Well, the big scandal was somebody had sex with somebody — on the kitchen table! OMG!

When?

“Oh, a hundred years ago.”

“Who?”

“The great-grandfather of the owners now.”

“With whom?

“With his wife!”

“Why do they call him a Whorer?”

“It’s just what everybody says.”

“A hundred years later?”

“Ja-ja.”

😉

.

I didn’t know this was such a crime. Fact is, some women like it. 😉

***

Again, this too has a lot to do with socialism. As Swedes believe that it’s the state’s responsibility, not theirs, to “care” for all, they feel they can do as they please at the expense of their fellow man.

In fact, I found Swedes to be deeply dishonest….except in their dealings with their all-powerful and punitive government. Dishonesty is something I have experienced repeatedly in Sweden.

When I told Swedes how off-putting their behaviour was, and how I felt that people didn’t care about one another as much as they do in other nations, I was one often met with the excuse that “Swedes just like their personal space”.

But there is a massive difference between valuing one’s personal space and people behaving with humanity to one another.

And it’s not just how Swedes treat non-whites as Leftists who have had bad experiences in Sweden claim. Europeans who are just as white as Swedes and hardly look any different at all, have experienced the same icy reception that immigrants claim is rooted in “racism.”

Other Swedes get treated like shit as well – especially by the government who treats everyone equally — with equal disdain.

That level of contempt for one another bleeds over to everyday interactions.

For example, you can elicit a pretty nasty expression if you dare to stand too close to people at a bus stop in Sweden. Swedes will literally stand as far from one another as possible (…again….unless they’ve had a drink. Then they are right up in your face.)

During rides on public transport, it is quite common to see people standing even though a lot of the seats are available.

I have seen this on several dozen occasions myself, riding the bus in Linkoping and Stockholm. People would rather stand than sit next to someone they don’t know.

In England, people just see an empty seat and take it. Schoolkids sitting next to the elderly, people of all backgrounds, all mingling with one another and the bus driver are chatting away with passengers… very normal in Britain.

This is not only the case in rough-and-tumble multicultural hellholes such as London, but in the all-white areas of the north as well, where people love to chat to one another just as much as gabby non-whites do.

*** In neighboring Finland the same stolid silence on the bus….

A fellow former Marine, who once luved in garrulous France, is married to a Finn and the old me no one speaks a peep on the bus in Helsinki. Pitch-black skies for half the day, the snow making the tires quiet, and no one is chatting with another soul for the entire commute….

.

Also, the bus stops in Sweden are a sight to behold with people literally placing themselves as far away from each other as possible. If one person decides to sit under the bus-stop roof when it is not raining, people already there will often move outside. Have your doubts? Google “waiting for the public bus like a Swede” and you’ll see I’m not exaggerating. It’s so trite, it has become a meme.

Then there are people’s manners — or lack thereof. In communal and social table gatherings Swedes won’t ask you to pass the salt or ketchup, which are about the only things Swedes put on their food. They literally reach over you and grab it for themselves. At first, this really annoyed me but then, after a while, realising that there was nothing I could do about it, I too just elbowed my colleagues out the way when I wanted a bit of ketchup …on my boiled potato and meatball. 😉

One time, I recall watching a Swedish mother trying to enter a shop with her child. She was struggling to get through an automatic door that had seemingly malfunctioned.

This man, who I expected was going to help her — as he was standing RIGHT in front of the heavy glass door (I was on line paying for goods)  literally pushed his way past her, and closed the door in her face.

When I was done paying for my goods and arrived at the door, I noticed there was a second man literally standing there watching her as she tried to ram her kid’s pram through the space between the door and the door-frame.

I shouted at him as I went to her aid, asking him what the hell he was doing just standing there like a retard.

He looked at me like I was from another planet.

And then the mother in question with her kid?

She didn’t even acknowledge I had opened the door for her.

…and the kid looked at me blankly…. while I shook my head in dismay.

That was the last time I even bothered…..

Was this the result of feminism? Something in the socialist water? Idiocy? Or just Swedes being….Swedish?

The English are generally far more willing to help strangers in various situations than the reluctant Swedes. People in England tend to be more willing to offer their seats to the elderly and disabled people than in Sweden, who profess to care about the plight of the marginalised and disabled.

In fact, if you don’t you’re going to get abused. A Swede might see that you need help with something, and stare a lot if he sees someone needing help.

He may even look on with morbid curiosity and act as if he might come and assist if he notices a one-armed migrant lesbian wearing a yellow star struggle with her shopping but he is not going to actually offer her any help.

He is even less likely to offer help to one of his own, to a white Swede, as helping another evil white person would not signal the slightest virtue, now, would it?

But remember how Brits, a few non-whites and visiting Europeans behaved when terror struck London Bridge in 2017?

That Spanish lad’s beautiful heroism would never EVER happen in Sweden.

Another British woman comforts a white man in agony, hit so hard by the migrant’s car that his tennis shoes were literally knocked off his feet:

***

When I asked Swedes to comment on my observations, they defended their incy lack of compassion as being “a cultural difference,” so I just moved on….

Families are also another enormous difference. In England – northern England at least – people tend to be a lot closer to extended family. Sure, British families are far more dysfunctional than their counterparts in France and Italy, but for the most part relations are still close.

Kids will often grow up staying with their grandparents or aunties and uncles during the day before they start school while the parents work — as, for the most part, only the wealthy in England can afford day care.

In England, it’s normal to pop round to a relative or friend’s house for a cup of tea unannounced as long as someone’s home. Not in Sweden.

Families in Sweden on the other hand tend to just be rhe mother and her kids. Just as with America’s black community, there is a very obvious lack of men in the Swedish family. It’s not perfect in Britain but I’ve not seen as many broken homes in all my years in Britain as I did in just a handful in Sweden. Most women I knew had far more involvement with the nanny state than they did with their own families and the fathers of their children.

It really was a socialist hell hole when it came to families. I knew several women who at one point had lived in “care” and were estranged from their fathers and mothers during their childhood, unlike how thungs are in France, Italy, Greece and places like Hungary and Serbia.

England certainly has problems as well with this issue, but they pale in comparison to the madness I witnessed in Sweden.

I once read on a Swedish blog that if you want to have a “fika” (afternoon coffee break) with relatives in Sweden, you have to make an appointment at least a fortnight in advance, even if you live in the same area. Although I am sure the person was exaggerating, I did feel that people were not as close to their extended families as they are in Britain or in more traditional paces on the continent.

Cousins, strangely, aren’t really considered “family” in Sweden, and Swedes tend to cut a lot of family off when they reach a certain age and replace them with their friends.

This happens when teens reach high school and no longer need their relatives as much and then again later in life when their elderly relatives need them. I was shocked to see so many elderly people on their own or in care (nursing) homes. It is pretty bad in Britain as well, but just not on the same level.

Although some of this is cultural, no doubt, most of these issues, I believe, are down to the socialist rot that’s set in in Sweden. Dagis (day care) is literally almost free in Sweden. So why even bother involving one’s parents or extended family when you can get a stranger to take care of your kid for free?

My friends’ kids, I noticed, were closer to their teachers and classmates than they were to their families, as in Sweden the school replaces the parent at a very young age.

Universities – that teach very little of value – being completely free, this also adds to the dynamic.

Then there’s booze and the deeply unhealthy relationship Swedes have with alcohol – something one does not encounter in continental Europe.

To understand the scope of the problem, it’s important to note that in Sweden, booze with an alcohol content above about 3.5% is only sold at government-operated establishments.

To get some perspective, Coors Light beer with an alcohol content of 4.2% would be illegal to purchase anywhere but in the government shop….

And these government shops, known as “System bolaget,” are not simply private shops licensed and/or regulated by the government but rather shops entirely OWNED by the government.

Although the government claims they’ve seized the distribution of alcohol because Swedes have a raging alcohol problem (which they do), let’s be clear….this is nothing more than a Communist money-making scam.

In spite of the decades of government control, Swedes still drink far more in excess than most other Europeans.

Try, though, telling that to a Swede and they will tell you that you are wrong. Try telling that to a bureaucrat and they will look at you like you’re Randy Weaver.

One time I argued with a doctor about how the government’s regulation of alcohol really only harms the poor… that it was really just an exploitative, regressive tax aimed at stinging the working poor and had nothing to do with reducing alcohol consumption.

.. and that if Sweden wanted to reduce alcoholism, they’d try to repair the family court system and tackle the epidemic of broken families.

I cited alcohol-related death rates and alcoholism statistics in Italy and France, where families were intact and alcohil abuse was  far lower than in Sweden.

She tutted from behind her nerdy Leftist glasses and told me I didn’t understand. In one breath the good doc told me it was for people’s own good that the government exerted control over the industry as it lowered consumption rates. (It doesn’t. It just cuts back on what people spend on food and other day to day expenditures.)

In the next breath, she was singing the praises of the government shop’s knowledge of the products they sold and how she is happy to pay twice more for wine as “System’s salespeople” often “helped” her “choose wines that suit the meals” she makes.

Seems a bit odd that salesmen are literally paid to sing the virtues of the toxic product they’re supposed to be trying to keep from the lips of the Swedish population, no? But there was no point telling her. Her glasses meant she knew best.

To give you some perspective a one litre bottle of Absolut in England can cost as little as about 20£. In Sweden it costs double that. Yet Absolut is manufactured in Sweden!

Whiskeys from the British Isles cost as much as three and four times in Sweden what they do in Britain. In Italy one can buy a quart of cheap Tennessee whisky for less than $10 and a litre of Italian red wine in a cardboard box for one dollar.

To this day I have never seen a drunk on the side of the road in Italy …although I have seen hookers. In feminised Sweden, if you solicit sex, you actually go to jail, and the girl goes to a shelter that supports the abused. Facts.).

Sadly, though, when it comes to alcohol abuse, Swedes are similar to Brits, who certainly also have a problem with booze.

Difference is a pint of beer in a British pub – even in London – is between 2 and 3£ while in Sweden you’ll be lucky if you can get a small bottle (slightly over half the size of a pint) for under the equivalent of 8£.

The Swedish government also controls pharmacies, which has resulted in prices two and three times more costly than for similar goods in Britain.

For example, medical tape will cost you £1.50 in Britain, E2.50 in France and upwards of 6£ in Sweden. Whereas in Britain you can go to another independent pharmacy if you don’t like the price, in Sweden you have NO choice.

Swedes will explain why it’s good gauze and why medical tape is regulated. Wouldn’t want sterile tape getting into the wrong hands, as it might be “unsafe.”

Say what you want about the free market, but it’s miles better than living in a society where the government has its filthy mitts on everything. Good luck getting proper customer service from anything the government has its talons embedded in.

Think political correctness is bad in Britain? In Sweden its about as bad as it is in America. A friend of mine once said that “Sweden is what Tumblr and Reddit would be if it was a country.”

He also sent me the following passage on what it’s like being a young Swedish man navigating interpersonal relations in 21st century Sweden. I’ll leave you with his words and then a truly heinous story about child genital mutilation in Sweden.

“Left-wing, feminist, socialist, Antifa types are plentiful in Sweden.

For a country that likes to pride itself on being so open and free, there’s a very narrow-minded view on what is the correct way to think, especially in terms of how society should look in our country.

Show any kind of signs of genuine nationalism, concern about Leftist immigration policies, or wanting any common-sense policy — and you’re instantly branded a Nazi. There are plenty of Swedes who have such opinions, but are very much in the closet. I can’t say I blame them. If you’re found out to have voted for the “wrong party,” you risk losing your job. Also, tell anyone that you’re a stay-at-home mum and you might as well say you idolise Hitler; people will want nothing to do with you. This happened to my mum when she tried to mix with a group of Swedish mothers, then she mixed with the expat community and nobody could care less.

And it’s not like Swedes are nice to immigrants, either. They treat them like shit too, just virtue-signal that they love them while migrants  make them money and increase their power.

There is also the aspect of personality, which is easier to generalize, as Swedes are very conformist — and there are many unspoken rules on what you are and aren’t supposed to be.

Two things you, as a Swedish woman, are supposed to be is strong and independent.

I’ve known my share of strong and independent women, and they are definitely fun to be around. However, the majority are not strong, or not independent, or, in bad cases, neither, but they often think they are and they are expected to be, at least outwardly.

The dissonance between such women’s behaviour and personality can be very frustrating. And it’s not like their women are all that attractive. That’s a myth. Women are IMO much more beautiful all across Eastern Europe and far classier on the Continent.

This makes courting an average Swedish woman a less than gratifying experience. She will fiercely defend her boundaries, real and imaginary, from any threats, such as paying for her on a date, which is perceived as either an attempt to make her owe you something, or that she can’t pay for herself. Compliments, unless very carefully phrased, can make her believe that you are treating her as a sex object. Even implying sex when she doesn’t feel like it can make her hold a grudge for weeks, as she doesn’t owe you anything and your hint makes her think she does.

In short, you have to walk a very fine line. After a while, you may ask yourself whether it’s worth it.”

And with all of that said….

Sweden is STILL not as far gone as America when it comes to the treatment of gender-identity disorders. Let that sink in….

And you’ll understand why after reading the following article from the Daily Mail.

.…..Leo’s Pain: Swedish government decides to follow Britain’s lead and stop castrating children with gender dysphoria (exactly as it appears in the Daily Mail)
by Sue Reid

Leo is in pain most of the time. His back hurts badly when he stands up or walks. It is a hard life for a teenager, and he has no idea if the agony will ever go away.

Nor does his mother Natalie, grief-stricken about the suffering of her child who was born a girl and, at the tender age of ten, said his dream was to be a boy.

‘Leo was little when she wanted to become a he,’ says Natalie. ‘I thought if this was his wish, I should agree with it. Everyone said Leo was brave to come out [as transgender] and I should be proud of him.’

Thinking she was doing the best for him, Natalie took Leo to one of the best hospitals in Europe where, at 11, doctors tried to make his wish come true.

They put him on hormones to stop his body developing into womanhood, with breasts, widening hips and periods. It was the beginning of a frantic course of treatment to make him a man.

Today, the teenager is at the heart of a worldwide debate over one of the most contentious medical issues of our times: giving puberty blockers to children.

As more and more countries, including Britain, begin to debate the rights and wrongs of pumping such powerful drugs into young bodies, the spotlight has fallen on Leo, who lives in Sweden’s capital, Stockholm.

A groundbreaking investigation by the state-run television channel has revealed he is one of 13 transgender children of the 440 treated by the country’s famous Karolinska University Hospital who are known to have suffered catastrophic injuries as a result.

Their ailments include liver damage, unexplained weight gains of up to two stone [100 lbs./40kg], mental health problems, and — in Leo’s case — skeletal damage and a failure to grow as tall as he should.

He has spinal fractures and a condition called osteopenia, which weakens the bones, making them more liable to break. It is a disease that you often see in people aged 60 or 70 and is almost impossible to reverse.

The Swedish TV revelations, which were not denied by doctors treating Leo, caused uproar.

After the film aired, the Karolinska reported itself to the national health authorities, and announced it had stopped prescribing puberty blockers to under-18s other than in a strictly-regulated research setting approved by ethics experts.

This led to the country’s national health board curtailing the administering of blockers to under-18s, with the admission that they carry risks that outweigh the benefits.

One of Sweden’s leading paediatricians, Ricard Nergardh, has said the drugs ‘chemically castrate’ children and can harm their mental well-being.

The television investigation claimed the hospital — which oversees the country’s identity development services for transgender children, and operates under the acronym KIDS — has rushed through scores of treatments without examining the psychological issues of children who feel they were ‘born into the wrong body’.

It discovered that girls as young as 14 had received double mastectomies in their quest to live as boys.

Importantly, Sweden’s health chiefs say the high-profile British case of 24-year-old Keira Bell influenced their decision to halt the use of puberty blockers.

She was given them as a teenager after a mere three hours of consultation at the Tavistock Clinic, London, which runs England’s only NHS gender identity development service (GIDS).

Keira, who lived as a man but has now de-transitioned to become [once again] a woman, told the Mail she fears she has been made infertile by the drugs she was given.

She hopes to persuade the Supreme Court — England’s most powerful judicial body — to rule that children under the age of 16 are not mature enough to give their consent to puberty blockers.

She said recently: ‘A global conversation has begun over these drugs. It is a doctor’s fantasy that a child as young as ten can consent to them or the loss of their future fertility.’

This month Health Secretary Sajid Javid launched a review into the use of puberty blockers in this country. He believes youngsters are wrongly being given them by the NHS and hopes it will lead to a new, safer way of helping those who question their gender identity.

‘Mental health, bullying and previous sexual assault are just some of the issues that could be causing problems for the child,’ he said.

‘This approach where people just accept what a child says, almost automatically, and then start talking about puberty blockers, that’s not in the child’s interests at all.’

Mr Javid fears the issue is ideological: akin to the cover-up of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham, where the authorities failed to take into account the ethnicity of the perpetrators because they believed it would be perceived as racist.

In the case of blockers, Javid says a fear of being branded ‘transphobic’ is encouraging doctors into giving children the drugs.

The Government is to demand access to the medical records of English children who have received them to assess what has happened to their health afterwards — and to find out if they regretted the treatment.

A little-publicised report on puberty blockers, released by the Tavistock Clinic two years ago, showed some children had signs of stunted height and thinned bone density compared with their peers who had not taken them.

But Leo’s tragedy is sounding an international alarm. The TV team that exposed his plight is certain that there are more victims than the 13 they found.

Finland has announced puberty blockers should not be the treatment of first resort for children who want to change gender. Instead, they should be offered psychotherapy.

In France, the National Academy of Medicine has told doctors that the high number of young transgender children is often fuelled by the influence of social media and advised that great caution should be exercised when treating them.

The academy stressed that hormone treatments carry health risks, have permanent effects, and that it is not possible to distinguish a genuine transgender desire in an adolescent from a ‘passing phase’ that occurs during the process of growing up.

It added that many children are being pushed on to the trans pathway too quickly and that, as young adults, they wish to turn the clock back and de-transition.

But of all the nations having a re-think, liberal Sweden is the most surprising. In the decade up to 2019, Sweden saw a 1,500 per cent rise in girls between 13 and 17 suffering from gender dysphoria and requesting hormone treatment to become boys.

The country followed the Dutch protocol for gender hormone treatments of under-18s who feel they are ‘in the wrong body’.

It was developed in 1991 after a 13-year-old girl in Holland persuaded a doctor to halt her puberty with drugs that stopped her periods and arrested her breast development, as well as other physical manifestations of becoming a woman.

When, three years later, the girl said she wanted to be a real man, the Amsterdam Gender Clinic moved her on from the pioneering puberty blockers to so-called cross-sex hormones, such as testosterone, which gives men their facial hair, Adam’s apple, deeper voice and muscular build.

This was seen as a remarkable breakthrough for trans people whose most heartfelt desire was to ‘pass’ as the opposite sex.

The Dutch protocol was quickly adopted by gender clinics worldwide, even in a cautious Britain, which at first refused to prescribe blockers to under-15s.

But with very vocal political campaigners arguing that to deny them to children was transphobic, this country’s medical establishment acquiesced too.

A massive escalation followed, with no fewer than 2,660 under-18 referrals to the Tavistock’s GIDS department in the year to March 2020. This dramatic jump, from a few hundred a year a decade earlier, was mainly a result of girls wanting to become boys.

Britain, amongst other counties, has began debating the rights and wrongs of pumping powerful puberty blockers into young bodies, including some catastrophic injuries (pictured, a scene from the ground-breaking TV investigation on Swedish state television)

Puberty blockers today are sold as a ‘pause button’ on puberty, offering a child the breathing space to reach a considered decision over whether to proceed with cross-sex hormones and sex-change surgery to achieve full transition.

Their supporters say it is better to stop puberty altogether. If you never develop a beard, you never need painful electrolysis to remove it. If you never grow breasts, you will never face a double mastectomy. But puberty blockers are powerful drugs. And very little research anywhere in the world has been done on what impact they have on a young body.

When the Swedish TV researchers took Leo’s bone density tests and X-rays to the country’s leading child hormone specialist Ola Nilsson, he was shocked at what he saw.

‘It looks as if this patient has spinal fractures and that’s serious,’ the doctor said. ‘There is cause to be worried. If you are on puberty blockers for a long time, there is a risk of bone damage,’

According to the tests, Leo’s bones had become porous, two of his vertebrae had changed shape and he was suffering from osteopenia, a forerunner to osteoporosis in which the back can become permanently curved, there is height loss, and it is easy to break your limbs.

Crucially, according to the TV investigation, his medical team had never checked his bones, although he took puberty blockers from the age of 11 to 15, double the recommended time period of two years.

This is, of course, horrifying. But it is Leo, living with his family in a middle-class part of Stockholm, who has borne the brunt of this puberty blocker experiment.

His mother Natalie, a married public sector manager in her 40s (who wishes to keep her identity anonymous to protect her son from transgender activists), says now: ‘Leo was happy at first. The school was very supportive and changed his name on the shelf. He wanted everyone to know he was a boy as soon as possible.’

But soon after starting the treatment, he became depressed and unhappy. He began refusing to go to class, saying he was tired during the day — and his situation soon became graver still.

‘His mental health got worse and worse,’ she has recalled. ‘He attempted suicide several times. We couldn’t understand why. He was meant to be getting better from the treatment. We just kept hoping he would.’

Then the aches in Leo’s body began. At first he didn’t say much to his parents.

Worried, they asked him outright how he was feeling. He answered that he was in pain ‘all the time’, says Natalie.

It was in his hips, his upper and lower back, his shoulders. ‘My son shouldn’t be this way at his age,’ she told the TV programme. ‘He should not have to live with this.’

Now, she is considering whether to sue the Swedish health authorities who gave Leo puberty blockers. ‘Of course I feel anger towards those I trusted,’ she said.

She means the doctors who put him on the strong drugs, then failed to test him ‘for years’, and so didn’t discover his irreversible bone damage.

Above all, she never wants other families and their children to turn to the medical world for help only to find themselves let down so badly.

But it is the postscript to Leo’s story that raises the biggest question mark over the rush for puberty blockers.

He has been taken off the blockers and, as a result, his body has turned back to being a girl’s with all the signs of puberty you would expect.

He is no longer depressed. He has gone back happily to school, and while he is not strong enough to take part in a sports match, life has become sweet again.

At the moment, he still presents himself as a boy. But he does not get upset if he is called by his previous girl’s name. Now 16, he is working out for himself what gender he wants to be without drugs coursing through his body.

Perhaps it is his mother who is now suffering the most from what has happened. She feels responsible for what Leo has gone through and finds it impossible to forgive herself: ‘I am the one who should have protected my child, but I did not do that in any way.’
