Read THIS viral post... Islamic Militants + Extremist Leftists: How Radical Islamists Puppeteer Their "Useful Idiots" - - - - The harrowing terrorist attack, which resulted in the death of 1,400 civilians, has exposed an alliance between two unlikely groups: Extremist Leftists, many of whom have been churned out on an assembly line by university campuses now roundly accused of being Marxist 'indoctrination camps,' and Islamic militants, who harbor a profound hatred of the Western liberal order and aim to establish a global Islamic Caliphate that spans every nation, including Sweden, US, UK, and Germany. These protests have given rise to chants that are hypocritically genocidal: 'Free Palestine, from the River to the Sea.' For Islamic militants, this serves as a call for the eradication of the Jewish state and the Israeli people, and a step toward regional, global, and religious hegemony. Conversely, for the Marxist activists, it symbolizes a struggle against perceived imperialism and colonialism-an expression of solidarity with those they have been conditioned to see as oppressed peoples. This view, often simplistic and binary, aligns with a wider agenda aimed at decolonizing the West itself, and implicitly, the dismantling of the United States, which they also regard as a colonizer. Such views are seldom overtly expressed, likely due to concern that doing so could provoke widespread backlash or attacks against them. From this, we draw the obvious conclusion: both groups, Radical Leftists and Radical Islamists, are united in their shared goal of destroying the West. The issue is the 'soft sciences' (Sociology, Gender Studies, etc.) that indoctrinate students in Marxist ideologies and the DEI/administrative class that has been brought up in such majors. They see the world in bizarrely reductive Oppressed/Oppressor binaries, and then apply this label to Israel; these ultra-Leftists have been co-opted by Islamic Militants who want Israel/Jews eradicated-'useful idiots' to the Islamist cause. The biggest Red Pill is that Islamic Militants are a problem. Insulated Muslim enclaves, where extremist Imams radicalize regular Muslims, are a problem. An unwillingness to assimilate into the West is a problem. And their puppeteering of naive Extremist Leftists is a problem. We are witnessing nothing short of an assault on Western civilization, aided by China polarizing the West via TikTok, and Russia/Iran attempting to psyop the public via fake bots. Now, you understand clearly that this is a battle for Western civilization. Israel is the canary in the coal mine; it is our last defense, and its downfall would critically endanger all of Western civilization. It would embolden Islamists and leftist extremists to next target Sweden, Germany, US, the UK, and the broader West. The Radicals, whether they know it or not, are on a mission to obliterate your home and the liberal ideals your ancestors valiantly fought for. Will you allow this? Absolutely not.

In Brazil it's just as bad. It's either Suíça, for Switzerland, Or Suécia, for Sweden. What sets them apart is the middle toning of the acute signal. (and yes the C with cedilla/Ç is pronounced as S)

[@DavidVzla07]

The issue is even worse in Spanish: Suecia 🇸🇪 & Suiza 🇨🇭🤣

I always had to take approximately 5 seconds to think about which is which before saying it when learning Spanish

I had a real chuckle watching this little gem. I live in the United States and although the vast majority of us are geographically challenged, I have noticed that a not-insignificant minority of my fellow Americans who have traveled or studied abroad-and are generally familiar with continental Europe-have, on several occasions, unwittingly referred to Sweden as Switzerland and vice versa. We need to fix this problem once and for all! If people keep mixing up these two countries I am going to crazy.

In Portuguese the confusion is even more common, since the names of the countries are Suíça and Suécia, similarly pronounced.

I’ve visited both countries, and they are equal in being absolutely amazing. Two of the best days of my 59 years of life were 1) hiking the Swiss Alps (down the Schilthorn), solo; and 2) driving through the Skania countryside and along the Baltic coast. I will never forget those two days.

Having spent some time in Switzerland, I can confirm that it has nice and peaceful lakes, that it's very calm, and that you can easily forget about time in the mountains, whether skiing in winter, or just enjoying the beautiful scenery in summer. Oh, wait...

[@Robman92]

Haha this is great, my international friends keep mixing them up too 😂 Btw speaking of the swiss watches, even an A.I. travel guide mixed up Switzerland with my country Sweden when I talked with it yesterday A.I. “Hey there, our filter gnomes are still working their magic on your hotel list. They're a bit like a fine Swedish watch, they take their time but the results are worth it!” Me “A correction to your Al algorithm, you said Swedish watch but you meant Swiss watch. Switzerland is the country known for their watches, not Sweden” A.I. “Oops, my circuits must have crossed there! Thanks for catching that, you're absolutely right. Switzerland is indeed the watchmaking maestro, not Sweden. While I go correct my geography (and horology), our filter gnomes are still busy sorting your hotel list. They're more like a Swiss watch now, taking their time to ensure precision!” 😅

[@jenergomes]

Wonderful! Very well done. 😄 In Portuguese, these countries have more similar names: Suécia and Suíça. So, I believe due to movies and other references (as chocolate), here in Brazil we had the name "Switzerland" easier in mind - and the other was "not Switzerland", thus, Sweden. The surprise for me today was knowing that this mixing up happens in other languages, even having undoubtedly different names in English. But, after I visited Sweden for two weeks, I never forgot. 🙂

We travelled the beautiful west coast together. I'll never forget the warm and friendly smiles of local people, joy and willingness to share their culture, and the beautiful sights along the way. Even Stockholm, the capital city, feels tranquil and livable as somebody who does not like big cities much. As you can imagine, this country will never leave my heart!
