The Stockholm syndrome

Wyatt Cenac from The Daily Show made a really funny 2-part report about 'Sweden, the dreadful socialist future of America'. Hilarious!



Part 1. Wyatt Cenac finds out firsthand how socialism is ravaging Sweden. He travels to Sweden to wake them up from their socialist nightmare.
Part 2. Sweden may have free health care, but America has Baconnaise. Wyatt Cenac realizes the hopelessness of getting Swedes to apologize for socialism.

Sweden has long been America's "enemy". In the late 1950s Eisenhower invented the little lie that Swede's were so unhappy under socialist democracy they were killing themselves in high numbers. This was never true...but google sweden and "suicide rate" and you'll still still many who believe this...America's biggest export has always been propaganda...

Kol has told me that Norway and Finland, and Sweden to some extent, do have some of the highest suicide rates in Europe. But the reason is completely different from politics. It's just because of the climate and their gloomy temperament. Generally speaking of course.
