Sweden is the canary in the coal mine. What happens when you import a culture and religion as diametrically opposed to your own as Islam is to the West? What happens when the statists, the elites, the corporations, and the cultural Marxists have taken over your media and vernacular so badly that no one protests?
I write all the time about the religion of the Left. The subheading to this blog is "everyone has a God." Let me explain this a little to give context to the problems in Sweden: Each man has a set of guiding principles that shape his actions and allow him the ability to judge abstract ideas where reason cannot be applied. That is, in matters of right and wrong. There is no objective truth in these cases, only each man's governing principles. Therefore, these principles supersede reason and shape our thoughts, speech, and perceptions of reality.
Is abortion right or wrong? How do you know it's only a matter of a woman and her body? Says who? What about gay marriage? Why should it be for everyone? Says who?
Religious people are often hated for bringing their beliefs to the public square but the nonreligious do the same thing, only instead of crediting the Christian God as the source for their principles, they instead deny any source and claim objectivity. But there is a source. There is a god they listen to that gives them the values that are their ultimate authority in matters of morality. I've started referring to this god as the God of Today. It is a god of Diversity, Race, Feminism, Political Correctness, "Science," and the Evils of the West. This god governs the modern perception of what is acceptable thought and speech. If you worship this god and adhere to its tenets, you will be saved in the court of public opinion.
The Neoreactionaries call this god the Cathedral in reference, I believe, to the medieval Catholic church. For much of European history, Catholicism dominated public thought and discourse. It became so pervasive that ideas which were independent from the Catholic way were outlawed and punishable by excommunication or, in some cases, death. This legacy continues to this day in many parts of the world. In America, for instance, we still see the influence of the Puritans and their fear of sex and the natural man.
Today in the West we are being victimized by another religion (and I don't mean Islam). Earlier, I tried to name it but in truth I do not know precisely what to call it or how to properly characterize it. The effects, however, are everywhere. We see it in the people who call for gun control while ignoring the facts about black and Hispanic crime. We see it in protests over the environment while giving solutions that only empower the demagogues. We see it in the children suspended from school for winking at a girl or wearing an American flag t-shirt. We see it in Donald Trump resoundingly being called "racist" or "crazy" without an unemotional response to his proposals. We see it in people who feel uncomfortable voicing non-feminist opinions or even simply conservative values in the work place.
And now we see it in Sweden. The homeland of a powerful, majestic, and beautiful race. A people who braved the cold, brutal north and carved out a nation for their children and their children's children. A place rich in culture and in history.
Now the land is being overrun with barbarians. Its fair women are raped and beaten while the nation and the world sit impotently and watch, pretending they are seeing something else and pathetically clinging to their faith. "Diversity is our strength," they all say.
When the prevailing religion of the time encounters contrary ideas, this is how it responds. With ignorance, oppression, and eventual destruction. There is nothing worse than a fanatic because a fanatic is always concealing a hidden doubt. That doubt and the power of the instinctive need to fight it makes the fanatic very dangerous.

Now watch these two videos (excellent once you get passed the 3-minute hate speech disclaimer at the beginning of part 1):
This is just a taste of what's out there on these issues.
To stay up on things like this that don't make the mainstream news because the story isn't Jennifer Lawrence whining about her movie salaries, I recommend the following sources:
- vdare.com
- takimag.com
- Paul Joseph Watson
- Milo Yiannopoulos
- Katie Hopkins
- Mollie Hemingway
- The rest of my "following" list on Twitter
No one is saying you need to believe everything you read on these sites or even find them appealing. But these authors all are far outside of mainstream thought and you need to be aware of ideas that are different from those you are likely to encounter.
I wonder where American feminihilists are on this, if anywhere?
