This Facebook post asked me to “Stand against the barbary” “Interesting choice of word” I said providing a link to the Barbary slave trade. Then I looked into what happened. The more I did the more I found myself getting sad, depressed, indignant and angry. How can people, whom I consider both decent and intelligent lend their support to such a disgusting scam? How can they be so stupid and so nonchalantly immoral? Can they not see how appallingly political this manufactured crisis is? I cannot even decide what is worse: if they can or if they cannot? The immorality or the stupidity? Looking at the picture of Carola Rakete reminded me of the Swedish bimbo Elin Ersson, who heroically stopped the deportation of an Afghan wife-beater. The same teary eyes, the same elated, self-congratulatory smile. Elin is clearly just an idiot, but Carola’s expression also has a hint of the fully understood, mission accomplished satisfaction. But let me get back to this later.
