NEWS COLUMN • Zara Larsson’s praise of criminals and hatred of migration authorities is not an isolated outburst, but part of a larger ideological pattern. I claim that this is about an anti-humanist cult. At the same time as these Western feminists mobilize against the rule of law and in favor of Islamist movements, women’s real struggle for freedom—in Iran and elsewhere—is met with silence. The result is a moral and cultural collapse where law and democracy are seen as oppression.

When I see Zara Larsson’s posts on social media, I feel ashamed as a Swede, almost as much as I am ashamed of how Greta Thunberg in recent years has helped darken Sweden’s image internationally. These women may look different, but in practice, they work for the same agenda—regardless of whether it is glitteringly wrapped in pop music or dressed in a supposedly academic veneer.

Feminist leftist women throughout the Western world are now openly mobilizing for criminals and Islamist oppressors, side by side at Hamas and Palestine demonstrations where anti-Semitic chants against Jews and Israel are shouted unashamedly.

Meanwhile, there is almost total silence about the revolution currently unfolding in Iran—where women are imprisoned, tortured, and killed for refusing to wear a veil, and where thousands of protesters have already been murdered by the Islamist regime. There are no trending hashtags, no tearful selfies, and few Swedish leftist women screaming into megaphones.

We all know how Greta Thunberg displays herself with Hamas allies and refuses to watch video clips from Israeli authorities about how Jews have been treated by Hamas terrorists—and how she went from being a “climate activist” to a Hamas and terrorist activist.

At the same time, reports come in that one in five women in Sweden does not plan to have children. This civilizational fact curiously goes unnoticed in exactly the same circles that claim to care for the future. Birth rates in Sweden have dropped to their lowest level since records began in the 18th century, which is at the very least worrisome. And who dares to ask why?

Social media in the West is filled with videos of white, left-liberal women filming themselves as they scream, cry, and display what can only be described as emotional breakdowns over American ICE agents trying to implement migration policies actually decided by democratic elections. They refuse to accept that rapists, murderers, and serious criminals without citizenship are to be deported.

And they seem to indiscriminately hate the Western state that tries to uphold the law.

When the Rule of Law Becomes the Enemy and Crime a Virtue

It is in this climate that Swedish artist Zara Larsson publishes her now internationally noted post in which she lists what she claims to love: immigrants, criminals, abortion, socialism, and various identity political markers—only to then declare that she hates ICE, the American immigration police. Her hatred of Trump is of course also unrestrained.

This is the result of several decades of intersectional propaganda that has permeated schools, universities, media, and institutions in much of the Western world. Under the label “feminism,” an ideological worldview has been built that bears no real relation to equality or actual women’s rights—or even reality itself.

In one sweep, the monopoly on state violence is demonized, while law-breaking is romanticized—as long as the perpetrator belongs to the right category. That she later tries to nuance, explain, or retract her statements changes nothing. The message has already been delivered, internalized, and applauded.

The symbolism is crystal clear—empathy is reserved for the lawbreaker, hatred is directed at the enforcer of the law.

One may ask what this pathology really consists of. How hatred and aggression could reach a level where women hurl themselves in front of police cars, try to run over federal agents, or actively sabotage public authorities—all in the name of some imagined justice.

Some would call it madness. I choose a more analytical explanation.

This is the result of several decades of intersectional propaganda that has permeated schools, universities, media, and institutions in much of the Western world. Under the label “feminism,” an ideological worldview has been built that bears no real relation to equality or actual women’s rights—or even reality itself.

Today’s feminism is not an ideology of emancipation. It is a far-left loyalty system—and I say this even knowing that there are many women on the right who insist on calling themselves feminists. But it is a system where the ultimate virtue is always to oppose one’s own civilization and “the white man”—and always to side with its enemies, whether they are Islamists, terrorists, or merely criminals.

This is why the same movement that claims to care for women can mobilize for these very Islamist organizations. This is why the veil is claimed to be a symbol of “freedom” in Paris, London, and Stockholm, even though it is at the same time a deadly compulsory measure in Tehran—a compulsion that is conveniently ignored. This is why Western law, police, and border control are considered the epitome of evil—while clan structures, religious oppression, and criminal networks are excused as “reactions” or “resistance.”

Feminism as a Loyalty System, Not Emancipation

This ideology—feminism—is today openly allied with Islamism; read my latest column on this subject—and with the legacy of the old left, whether you call it communism, socialism, or identity politics. The enemy image is the same: the West, the nation, the family, the rule of law, and ultimately democracy.

Today, this “nurturing instinct” is directed toward those who, according to the ideology, are labeled as “victims”: criminals, illegal migrants, and Islamists—no matter what they actually do. It does not matter if they rape, murder, or systematically oppress women. They are still “the weak,” because doctrinal beliefs say so.

I have personally been involved in feminist theory for many years, including as a former lecturer at Konstfack. I know how the pathology has been academicized. I know the deluded arguments. And I have seen how concepts are twisted, how language is perverted and used as a weapon—and how imagined moral power hierarchies replace legal principles.

In these rooms, Orwell rings loudly: war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength. Yes, wrong is simply right.

There is also another analysis that is increasingly put forward—the biological one. That women are more inclined to protect, nurture, and care for what is perceived as weaker. When the nuclear family is demonized, when motherhood is ridiculed, and when one’s own society is described as morally reprehensible, this drive must find a new object.

Today, this “nurturing instinct” is directed toward those who, according to the ideology, are labeled as “victims”: criminals, illegal migrants, and Islamists—no matter what they actually do. It does not matter if they rape, murder, or systematically oppress women. They are still “the weak,” because doctrinal beliefs say so.

Zara Larsson—A Symptom of a Greater Pathology

This explanation may be correct, or perhaps not. But it is obvious that a great number of Western women today vote for the most extreme and anti-democratic parties, while at the same time siding with women-oppressing Islamists—in a desperate and confused ambition to protect the weaker party.

The result is a moral collapse where the rule of law is described as oppression, democratic decisions as fascism, and the exercise of violence as something evil—but only as long as it is carried out by the democratic state.

Zara Larsson is not the problem. She is the symptom. A media-perfect face for an ideology that has taught an entire generation to hate its own society more than those who actually do—and who are on their way to taking it over.

Perhaps Islamists and criminals will soon be able to take over our democratic societies to the muzak tones of Zara Larsson in the background, time will tell.

I am convinced that we can—and must—stand against evil, even when it looks beautiful and wears glittering dresses.
