Second front – Rise of the GONGO
I have previously covered the main front in the struggle against freedom of speech in Europe – hate speech laws. Now it’s time to move on to another, more low-profile phenomenon: The Government Oriented (or “Organized”) Non-Governmental Organization, or GONGO for short.
The GONGO is a tax-payer-funded organization, set up by the government to promote a specific policy, or point of view.
Sweden has naturally been at the forefront of this effort to snuff out incorrect thinking. Using organizations such as “Flickaâ€, “Centrum mot Rasismâ€, and “Forum Sydâ€, the government has been able to:
- Criticize magazine publishers who publish incorrect, sexist material. (On huge subway billboards, no less…)
- Fight the menace of racist ice cream.
- Promote Global Jihad, as well as a deeper understanding of (often misunderstood) North Korea and Cuba.
Now however, it appears that the GONGO:s have hit a spot of trouble. It has been revealed that the aforementioned “Centrum mot Rasismâ€:
- Has done preciously little, except for running up large hotel and restaurant bills.
- Has been taken over by representatives of the ruling Social Democrats and the Greens.
- …carried out the aforementioned attack on racist ice cream mostly as a ploy to cover up their own inaction.
Only time will tell if this will stem the tide of governmental non-governmental organizations attempting to snuff out incorrect thinking. I sort of doubt it.
PS.
Update: Replaced the clunky GNGO with GONGO
