🇸🇪 Another day In Sweden

People pushing the narrative, that sound criticism against government pandemic response, is just insane conspiracy theories. This is pushed by powerful people in media, with backgrounds as head of communications for the ruling party. Textbook propaganda.
Definition of propaganda:

"information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote a political cause or point of view"
So here in Sweden the government had changed the text describing out criticized herd immunity strategy on their website. To a format that made it seems like less of a herd immunity strategy. This was criticized as history revision by people, rightly so.
Gov said that apparantly it was by accident they went in and changed the text to a format that better suited their narrative. Accident? lol

People who criticized the action, are now being ridiculed as some sort of QAnon like conspiracy people, for not believing it was accident?
So this guy pushing the narrative that it is some sort of insane conspiracy theory, to question government behavior, and believe it might have not been an accident that texts were changed is political editor for Swedens biggest newspaper Aftonbladet.

A bit dystopian propaganda.
He is also former head of communication for the government party Social democrats. Always support government. Textbook propaganda that is so obvious that it becomes silly.

"Leading Social Democrat-politician to Aftonbladet"
He appears to be pushing the narrative, that criticism against the Social Democrat government, are silly conspiracy theories.

He also used his power in the media, to attack researchers that have tried to raise awareness of problems with Swedish pandemic response.
According to this former head of communications for the government party, turned political editor of newspaper, there are very seldom conspiracies or people acting in cooperation towards a common goal. People of Sweden are told they are silly to believe anyone would act dishonest
Kind of sounds like something someone that used to be head of the communications at the ruling party, that is now conspiring with the government in propaganda would say don't it?
If people wonder how things could have gone so wrong here in Sweden. How rulers managed to get so many people on board with this insane herd immunity stuff:

"Tegnell - our guide to the galaxy"
"Anders Tegnell is like the hero in a movie"
"When cholera came, there was no Tegnell"
Part of the blame for the tragedy of Sweden and the mass psychosis belongs to people like Anders Lindberg using his influence in media for information warfare against his own people. Brainwashing, silencing, nudging, etc. Whatever you want to call it.
Might be worth mentioning the government handed out a lot of money to media companies when the pandemic started, that is the very same money that the people here in Sweden payed in taxes.

Why would the government hand out so much of the tax-payers money to media companies?
I'm not sure however, if that money would have impacted the actions of this specific guy that is running the rulers errands though. I mean...He was in fact the head of communications for the ruling party. The newspaper in question, is outspokenly "Social democrat".
Oh, btw, this guy is apparantly thinks a lot about information as a weapon, psychological warfare, and PsyOps. I wonder why? 🤔
The people of Sweden was abused. Our trust in government and media was abused. The naive nature of the average Swede was reinforced and exploited. Our resistance against the virus was attacked, we heard there was nothing we could do to stop it. "Resistance is futile"
I really want to be able to trust my government organizations and politicians in my country. I want to be able to believe that journalism is as noble as claimed, and not weaponized. Unfortunately the trust has been damaged by what has happened here during the pandemic.
I'm certain that these fools believed that trust in the population, could be built by the sort of bullshit they have been trying to pull. I do however believe this is just another area that they don't understand and completely fail at.
Resilient and deserved trust long-term, can't be built on lies. Lindberg and perhaps some fools in the government might claim that what I am doing trying to highlight these problems, is hurting Sweden. I do however believe that you need to call out these stuff when you see them.
Sweden must build a society that is not built on lying to the population. That will never work out. It's not how it is supposed to be.

Pandemic response strategies should be able to be scrutinized. Propaganda machines should not corrupt the open debate on key issues for Sweden.
If the truth is a problem for people in power, perhaps they do not deserve to be in power?

If truth and citizens engaging in critical thinking is a problem for the defence against disinformation and information warfare, the current model is not resilient.
Sweden needs a reboot. We got too comfortable, and let our good conditions and easy life corrupt our country. Sweden peaked early, now on the road to decadence and society falling a part, bit by bit.

We need to acknowledge it, perhaps this pandemic fiasco can be a wake-up call?
I feel like Sweden is at a cross-roads.

We either acknowledge our problems and try to get our shit together, and build a country that can provide a great future for our kids and future generations, or we pretend like everything is perfect, and waste all the good things we had.
People like those in our current government, people like Tegnell, Lindberg etc, those people are trying to steer us onto the road to ruins for Sweden.

Fake people using propaganda and lies to cling on to the perception of Sweden, while ruining the good things about Sweden.
They are not worthy to represent Sweden. They don't have the character or skills. They ain't no patriots. They are the swedish insane clown posse, that scammed their way into cushy jobs and power in a naive society where people had an easy life.

Fuck 'em.
We got a bunch of losers in charge now, posing like they representing Sweden. These scammers exploited the naive nature of swedes to get power, they act in their own interest, not Sweden's.

We need to try and figure out a society/system that don't reward incompetent liars.
