I agree with most of your posts, but with one exception:Crime in Sweden is bad, but not much worse than in many other places, and still much better than in some.
There are... special interest groups... with an agenda, that are doing their best to hype up crime in Sweden in social media as being worse than it is, claiming there is full-scale war going on with riots on the streets and with regions police cannot go. It is quite common that these groups are right wing groups, or groups with deep connections to Russia.
Truth is that murder and crime rate is slightly higher that the other Scandinavian countries but a bit lower than Finland, UK and France.
Compared to the murder-rate per capita in the US, Sweden is a peaceful little nation with almost nothing going on.
There are no place where police do not go.
The only strange thing is that there are more hand grenade attacks than in other European nations. But very VERY few has actually died or been injured in one of these attacks.
But hand grenades attacks are not exclusive to Sweden. they happen occasionally in Germany and in other places, like France this time, too.
Since 2023, more than 60 innocent people have been killed or injured in shootings or bombings in Sweden.
Compared to other countries, that might sound low, but it is a pretty high figure compared to Sweden before mass-immigration began.
