It's worth noting that my family has involvement in the wider movement of education/philosophy that this place fits into, and is an extreme outlier within...

So I briefly went to a school organized around the principles behind the "movement" when I was a kid, and did some home schooling based around those principles...

When I was that age, most of my friends (that I was allowed to see) were also involved in that... Educational philosophy...

Without saying directly what it is, it's a well-known esoteric Germanic cult with its headquarters in Sweden (this place is the second-biggest in the world, I believe), and schools all over the place.

Pretty much a hippie cult.

So I was perhaps... An easier potential "victim" than someone else who, say, did not come from that background, or who didn't almost certainly have C-PTSD, or didn't have "alternative" ideals, to some extent...

I am almost the perfect victim. Except that I knew, as soon as I arrived here that things were not right. So obviously some part of me, at least, was aware...

I nearly came here seven years ago when I was much younger, and maybe more naive. Thank god that I didn't, is all I will say...

Yeah, I... Did "vet" this a bit, but unfortunately I probably chose/relied on the wrong people to vet it...

It's also extraordinarily obscure (because it's a private training organization, not a University), so remarkably difficult to find bad/external reviews...

If I can change any one thing out of this, it will be that. They need someone to speak up about this.

And if they sue me for libel, or try to? Fuck 'em. Once I'm outside Sweden, I'm more than willing to take that on.

I'm already beginning to see things unravel, here (i.e. even their own community/the wider village and town has started to reject them for being "too radical"), so I'm more than willing to be the straw that broke the camel's back...

This thing, whatever it is, is being sold as an "educational program". I sincerely hope that I'm one of the last people/in one of the last cohorts to be duped by that.

We're also mostly being "taught"/brainwashed by alumni from previous years, so yeah, it is that successful at roping people in. Many are intermarried, and a fair number still live in the village/nearby town...

Time for the whole house of cards to come down, I think. Or at least start to.

It won't help me, but if I can try to prevent others from falling into this trap, in future, then at least something positive comes of it...

I've already convinced two young women (who were considering it) not to come here, so in that, I guess perhaps I have done some good.

But yeah, it's... Frighteningly fucked up. But at least I can see that now.

I'll definitely give you whatever advice I can as soon as I'm in a better situation! But that might take a while, unfortunately...

As bad as things were where I was before, this place (not Sweden. More specifically the cult, and the place it is in) are unequivocally much worse, so...

If I can advise anything, it would be that moving to the other side of the world is a huge risk, and you want to have multiple "escape" plans lined up, contacts with local lawyers, and a bigger financial buffer than I ever expected (I have one, but I didn't plan for things to be quite this bad)...

Oh, and bring less stuff than you think you might need/want, not because it's easy to replace them (it isn't necessarily easy, at all), but because, if you bring even what you think is the bare minimum, you then have to carry that with you, physically, which makes a quick escape, without losing the stuff, more difficult...

I packed for 10 months. Now I have to get 10 months of stuff, plus what I've bought since, out of this place, and either carry it with me, or dump it. Which is much harder to do, quickly, than I planned for...

So that's just a few early tips from someone who knew that shit could go bad, but still underprepared for shit hitting the fan, as it has, sadly...

So yeah, I'm still alive. Still in Sweden. But in a remarkably bad, creepy, deeply unsettling situation. Unfortunately I can't really post about it directly until I'm out, but if you know Sweden at all, you can guess at least which... Part of the country this may be in (it has a reputation for cults)...

Seen the movie Midsommar..? It's not really anything like that, but there is also an eerie level of crossover, in some aspects...

Internet and phone use are heavily restricted, here, as is free time, as is privacy. Hence my lack of posts and comments since I've been here.

While I don't personally have that much power or influence, when I get out of here, I fully intend to expose this shit as best as I can, and as widely as possible. Because this "program" should not be allowed to continue as it has. Or, at the very least, it should not be able to recruit people, internationally, while being wholly dishonest about what it is and what goes on here.

So yeah, that's me. That's what has happened. I fell into a residential cult. Disguised as an "educational program". Because of course I did.

It’s the capital city. So also yes.

Fuck Canberra. You take out Canberra and Melbourne, and the far left pretty much loses the ability to win in Aus…

It’s those two cities that pull us ever-wokeward…

So, as amusingly sarcastic as this is (I assume), true story: I did actually meet and talk to Greta briefly a few weeks ago. She was just as weird, loud, and annoying as you might expect.

And yes, that sounds like bullshit, but I have photographic evidence, haha.

It was ridiculously, absurdly easy to do. So myself and the people I was with did so.

But holy shit it must be annoying people getting up in your face all the time with cameras and shit. I ended up standing near her (at an event) for much longer than I wanted to, and it was annoying for me, as well…

Did also get to (separately) meet one of her colleagues/close friends, though, and that went much better, to say the least. Name’s Isabel. Half-British, half-Swedish. Great chick.

So yeah, I swear, on all that I’m worth, that this entire thing did actually happen. Because Sweden.

It is fucking fantastic being a reasonably confident Australian here, at least in terms of meeting women.

I have many thoughts and informed insights on this. But I’m also not in a very good situation right now.

So I’ll try to comment when I can, if I can.

Right now I’m just trying to stay safe and like, not get any more sick. And not be kicked out onto the street, here (Sweden, remember), with no easy safe recovery route, because relying on my exes here is... Not what I want to do.

So yeah. But I am alive!

I’ve unironically been living in a woke residential cult. It’s hell. I’m still legally working out my escape options…

I’ll post about it some time.

Shit’s been… Wild.

So yeah…

I just… Haven’t had time. Or headspace. Or privacy.

But I am alive. I’m just very worn down and tired. And have Covid. Because the stupid fucks at the cult don’t believe in illness or sick days or even covering their fucking coughs with their arms (yes, really)…

I’ll write a book on all this one day.

I’m currently sitting in a pub hanging out with Swiss and Austrians, because we all realized we are more “normal” than the Swedes surrounding us, ha…

It’s a strange vibe.

But admittedly, these a) are not Germans, and b) none of us are from here, so…

I guess that’s a factor.

bamboozler1 3 points ago +3 / -0

Nonexistent, for like, 95% of the people you meet (immigrants excepted).

They just hate talking. And helping. And customer service.

So they can speak English. They just choose not to talk to you.

So kind of like France, except that Swedes hate talking in any language, including their own…

Tis a strange vibe, to say the least.

bamboozler1 1 point ago +1 / -0

I think Sweden is probably more “conformist” than Germany, though, tbh…

Swedes seem much, much more like their stereotype, as a whole, than Germans do…

Perhaps because there is 80 million Germans, and only 10 million Swedes…

But who knows.

bamboozler1 4 points ago +4 / -0

Honestly, I might still be, lol.

If you mean the literal pigs (you’ll know the ones. There is also a fish, from what I recall), then your guess was correct, lol! 😅

Or if you mean the gold pigs, then nah, but I have spent a bit of time there, haha.

Nice to know the same for you!

But yeah, now I’m almost literally as far away as one can get, geographically, lol…

But I imagine I’ll be back at some point!

bamboozler1 11 points ago +11 / -0

Maybe, arguably. But there’s not as much “me”, here, so it’s a good opportunity to pretty much completely start over, without any of that “baggage”, from that perspective.

You know what surprises me, though? How fucking dirty everything is…

Oddly, for a country with a reputation for pretty much the opposite, the sheer amount of flies (everywhere) and litter is… Disconcerting.

But anyway, we’ll see, I guess.

14
bamboozler1 14 points ago +14 / -0

Politically..? Yeah. Though I think culturally I vibe with the French more than I do here…

I don’t fit this (introverted, antisocial, unhelpful, atomized) model of living/doing things. It’s just not me…

I’m not sure where I fit, though.

My ex tells me I should go to Slovenia (of all places) or Ireland, next, lol.

Ireland I vibe. Not sure about Slovenia though…

Having said all that, I think it should be reasonably easy to get laid, here, as a fairly confident, outgoing, non-blonde…

They’re not used to it at all, lol.

So if that’s your thing, I guess it’s… Not bad. 🤷🏻‍♂️

From experience, I probably wouldn’t marry a Swede, though, so there’s that, too.

Eh.

If you know anything about Zverev... This is like, the least shit thing he has been involved in, by far...

Like, even as a casual tennis "fan", Zverev is a fucking tool, lol...

So this "controversy" seems appropriate, somehow, really...

Pretty sure he "disclaimed" his Russian side of the family (dad's), a while back, pre-Ukraine, too... So yeah.

bamboozler1 3 points ago +3 / -0

I mean, yeah, but they initially targeted minorities (if we’re going for that argument), and besides, their support base would have been larger than their membership…

A better comparison, I think, is Apartheid South Africa, with a comparatively very small ruling Afrikaner population, a larger white population, and a much, much larger black population…

The Abos would love for that sort of “minority rule” (but with a reversed colour bar), lol…

18
bamboozler1 18 points ago +18 / -0

That is true, but I would be willing to accept that if these were “remote communities” (like reservations in the US) where pretty much only the Abos lived…

But they’re not. These are towns. And farmland. And national parks. This “agreement” means that something like… Quarter of a million people, mostly non-Aboriginal/white, stand to have their water rights, land rights, and significant aspects of their wider lives, dictated by an unelected group of race grifters… And they will have no say in the matter. And have to pay for all of it…

That is… Insane to me, in the 21st century.

“Reverse Bantustans but woke” is not where I pictured my country heading, even knowing all the shit that has been going down, here, these last few years…

This is the kind of “agreement” that leads to bloodshed, when people realize they have no other way to fight back.

“Fortunately” Australians are fucking cowards, these days, otherwise I can’t imagine they would be so bold as to even try to shove this through…

Costings are redacted, even on the “memos” sent to the local councils this impacts. That tells you all you need to know about how corrupt this whole thing is.

bamboozler1 11 points ago +11 / -0

Luckily, even the “self-identified” Aboriginal population only comes to about 500,000, which would be an absolutely massive overestimate of the reality (because many only “identify” for the gibs), out of a total population of 25 million or so…

So unless they got all the liberal useful idiots in the country on board, or somehow took control of the army, thankfully they are unlikely to be able to do that much…

But also yeah.

I see it more like NZ or Canada, where they just make life completely unbearable for everyone else. Killings might be localized, but unless the state itself goes full “state-sanctioned murder”, there simply isn’t enough Abos out there to be able to directly genocide the majority. In theory, anyway… 🤷🏻‍♂️

Much though I know they would like to.

No, it literally is a biological need...

No arguin' about it! It's literally a fundamental tenet of biology, lol.

Which is partly what makes antinatalism so fucked up!

Excellent article, Ahaus. Worth a read through to the end, for those who haven't yet.

But yeah, damn, that's wholesome. We need more stories like that, honestly, I feel.

Good on you, Scout! I'm sure everyone there appreciates how you overcame your own trauma, and found your place caring for and protecting those who obviously needed it.

bamboozler1 12 points ago +12 / -0

It's more like, "Why yes, I just love my rental property being overshadowed by tower blocks full of immigrants from developing countries! It fills my liberal heart with joy to be surrounded by such diversit-ay, and so much cultcha!"

So yeah.

Vancouver in a nutshell. Or Hamtranck (without the tower blocks, lol). Or obviously fucking London and Brum (Birmingham).

This is always the way…

See also: the “Indigenous Voice to Parliament”. Supported by white people who live in cities and claim Indigenous ancestry. Largely opposed by most full-blood non-bureaucrats actually living out there, in remote areas, on-ground…

Funny that. Just makes it all the more obvious who is actually calling the shots, there (it ain’t the full-bloods).

But if you point this out, “You’re rayciss!”, naturally…
