Yet they were not free during the pandemania. Obedience was demanded, with penalties harsh for disobedience. And they are one of the highest "vax" injected populations on the planet. With soaring rates of illnesses and deaths never seen before, as in every "vaccinated" community.
As I shared on your previous post about Iceland, there is a lot to love about it - I did and still do from my visit there in 2016. But it's not the nirvana and bastion of freedom that escaped totalitarianism as both of your glowing reviews of the country seem to imply. They are very polite. And nice. Yet you make no mention of that fertile ground for authoritarianism you write so extensively about, being so easily adopted by polite, nice people.
Authoritarianism, Totalitarianism, Tyranny doesn't come with funny little mustaches or big bushy ones on rigid men raising their voices and fists in the air. It comes through nice, polite people. Who do as they're told. Trusting the wolves in their sheep's clothing to have their best interests in mind. I wish you would share more of your visits with those leaders and their pandemania governance. Why they leaned into the authoritarianism that their Swedish cousins rejected? Why they went along with a mass global "vaccination" campaign of unsafe and ineffective experimental biotech for a population that had such little risk? Why they severely punished the disobedient who merely applied their well-informed and educated understanding of infectious disease to make different personal choices?
Below is a refresher of my comment on your earlier Iceland piece for those readers who missed it that provides an example of my strong contention about Iceland. As it also accurately reflects my understanding of the people and culture from my own personal prior experience.
Even the semi-anarchist Pirate Party went all-in on the pandemania mandates and demands of obedience. I met and shared Brennivín shots with Pirate Party MP's when I was there, learned all about their movement and gaining popularity at the time, the aftermath of the financial corruption. I thought for sure they'd have stood their ground for freedom. Nope. Just as demanding of obedience as the conventional political parties. Obedience to totalitarianism is strong in nice, polite people. Even nice, polite anarchists.
I registered as a user on the piratepary.de mastodon federated social media instance because they talk a lot of good things about rights and limiting government and was kicked off from their server for repeating doubts about human caused global warning. Turns out you are a "climate change denier" according to the definition on wikipedia (very sad place to visit these days) pretty much everyone can be accused of having "climate change denial" if they simply have just a doubt about the magnitude of the problem.
It is a big dog whistle and the pirateparty is happy to conform to the woke mob.
It's all interrelated. Gender, climate, race, health, energy, food, all being driven into lockstep surrender of choice, obedience to a singular narrative that benefits a small, powerful few. For our own good, of course. Just be nice and polite, and care about the collective's good, F your selfish freedom.
Count how many times the word "obedience/obey" is used in this story out of Iceland about a nurse in Iceland who defied the testing mandates and was punished, fined for challenging authority:
Could terminate work contract of a nurse who denied taking rapid Covid tests
"employees' obedience to the employer's legal order is one of the primary duties of employees"
"an employee must submit to the mastery of his employer"
"work procedures must be obeyed"
"breach of a duty to obey or refusal by the employee to obey a directive"
"employee’s breach of the duty to obey"
"the employee’s refusal to obey is considered a serious failure"
"Obviously, obedience is considered to be an important part of running a business"
"obedience obligations are evidently to be regarded as critical to the operation of the policy"
"The Court finds that the breach of the duty of obedience by the nurse during the time in question constitutes a serious breach of the employment contract"
"The woman was then sentenced to pay the company Klíníkin 1.2 million ISK [$8,500 USD] in legal costs."
Don’t be fooled by "SCANDINAVIA" … in 1932 social democrats acceded to power in Stockholm … the influential and beautiful "Swedish Grace" culture which indelibly impressed all Manhattanites - whether at midtown, or at home on Riverside Drive, remember the extinction event. The worst SD apparatchiks are analogues of NPR pod people/Pentheus dismembering bacchae.
But maybe their calculating realpolitik will save them again … so far so good !?
"Iceland's record of low immigration and its genealogical records going back 1,000 years make it a paradise for geneticists. A third or more of the population has already donated a DNA sample - but a new push to increase that figure is meeting some resistance.
"No!" says Alda Sigmundsdottir, raising her voice and waving her arms around emphatically.
"I will not be emotionally blackmailed into giving my DNA - it's my own private and personal information and I am not going to give it to anybody!""
[FF Note: The lead photo showing ducks being fed is of a lake in Reykjavík that I've walked across in mid-winter when it's frozen]
And there's this:
Why did Sweden sterilise up to 30,000 people against their will in the cause of eugenics?
And when you look across Scandinavia where entire populations have had their DNA samples taken from them there's nothing to be alarmed about. Now is there?
Yikes...this is an argument for hiring robots...anything programmable. "An employee must submit to the mastery of his employer" sounds like something a Nazi would have said when on trial for war crimes. I loved Iceland during my very short visit last year, particularly the pristine quality of the countryside and, of course, the drinking water. But reading the Iceland Monitor article dampens my romantic view of it, for sure.
To be fair the article is quoting the judge's ruling. And the judge would be establishing the facts of the case in his ruling, "obedience" being a material fact, an element of the law as he did. So he would use the word many times to establish the basis of his ruling.
That said, the fact that "obedience" is in law as prominently as it is without qualification or other components to establish the basis or justification for an order, merely "just do what your told, no questions," is the problem. A problem of positive law jurisprudence. Divorced from natural law jurisprudence in the mid-20th century that was informed by morals and ethos, recognition that we are all born with inalienable rights in our Creator's image.
Nazi law was positive law as is found in Iceland and the US, not natural law. Just as Nazi medicine was allopathy as is found in allopathy and the US, not natural medicine like homeopathy, naturopathy, ayurveda, herbalism, etc. The west is inherently vulnerable to totalitarianism in the Nazi model by virtue of following the same systems of jurisprudence and medicine. Lawyers and Doctors. The crimes against humanity that were committed under the Third Reich could never have happened without the same types lawyers and doctors.

Strangely overlooked in the above. It was a nightmare !
