The Scandinavian indoctrination

As a current resident of Danmark, I found the following quote from a resident of Sweden very amusing:

The real problem is, nobody gives you the other side of the argument in an academic environment where the government has forced environmentalism and radical leftwing feminism into every education. Students are offered free food and free ecological wine from the government controlled alcohol distributor Systembolaget (a state monopoly controlled by the wife of the Prime Minister) while they watch ridiculous science fiction movies. This is the Swedish version of the indoctrination I saw as a young boy in an Iranian school named after a suicide bomber. Being forced to shout "Death to America" and "Death to Israel" in the school yard is at least an open form of propaganda. The Swedish version allows you to drink wine, feel intellectual and perhaps even win a printer, but is not much less biased. (#)
It is really amazing to think that the countries most successful in the free market capitalist society foster one of the strongest (and, of course, richest) anti-capitalist' movements in the world. Students are one of the hardest hit groups, being "teached" that the world is about to perish and that America is a cooking pot of evil.

The same story told above can be said about Danmark (although alcohol not locked up behind government-doors). The newspapers do never cast doubts on the global-warming doomsday-alerts. A typical sentence in a paper could be something like this: To figth the man-made global warming, that threatens to change the Earth's climate drastically, this and this government action has now been put into works.., and people are taking it in. Fast.
