every human wants to believe they are the hero of their own little movie.

this is doubly so of the narcissistic personality types attracted to politics.

this is precisely when they feel such a a desperate need to discredit sweden. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2020/09/10/ignoring-lesson-sweden-makes-tougher-covid-crackdown-inevitable/

sweden got it right.

they got it wrong.

and they will never forgive sweden for that.

hell, half of them probably cannot even admit they got it wrong. their internal conviction of heroism and sagacity is too strong to overcome with mere facts.

meanwhile...

calmly standing up to a mob baying for your blood, keeping your head, and doing the right while all around you have lost theirs and are doing the wrong one is no easy feat

it takes real strength & fortitude

there should be statues of anders tegnell in public squares

he earned it.

it will also earn him the everlasting enmity of the ones who got it wrong from cuomo to johnson and ding to topol. every screeching news rag proclaiming doom and demanding bad, psuedo-scientific policy for months only to be proven wrong will smear him.

the world is not kind to those who stand up against the derangement of the mob and get it right.

the same mob will twist facts and memory to make themselves look justified.

it's important not to let them. .

hold them accountable and give the laurels to he who earned them.
