I was looking at a vacation in Sweden this year.
Probably not. Prague or Croatia instead.
Since we are a couple of Swedes who write on this page, it would be a good idea to have a thread on information from Sweden and immigrants. Threads have been created before about Sweden that has been heavily exaggerated, such as that it would in some places resemble pure war zones. At present we have not lost the fight against the criminals and in the next few years, 10,000 new police officers will be appointed, since we have a small police force in comparison with the rest of Europe.
I'm glad that the conversation has moved past accusations and towards honest dialogue. The fact is PC culture isn't compatible with reality. And reality can be ugly and surprising to people who have lived all their lives in the most peaceful and prosperous societies we've had to date.It is easy for an outsider to dispose of things like naivety. Replace it with decency instead. As @Bald1 said a while ago, I know deep down that I have gradually changed my approach.
With that I want to add that it is one thing to have a cordial discussion about sensitive things that you have insight into, and the opposite that thrives on this site in the form of people with zero insight and only has information that you have read that is in line with their own perception of reality. And these I mean are purely racists who only see different looks than their own as the driving factor. And there are plenty on this site.
However, the decency that I mentioned has created contradictions in every aspect of our institutions. Contradictions created because we dare not talk about sensitive topics. And being able to make demands without being branded for it. A control system that has gone so far that ordinary honest people in distress have difficulty confirming their ailments because our society has become such that we question everything that has to do with compensation.
We who work in the police, hospital, school, social and labor market institutions have a good insight into our reality and wish that the politicians could dare to talk about it as well. Perhaps we could then counteract the bad forces in a more powerful way. But the longer it takes and as long as we have the spirit of being the best and nicest in the class, people with bad intentions will use our country in the roughest way.
Now I mention Denmark again. I wish that the social democrats in Sweden could follow in the footsteps of our neighbor's party. Being able to talk about things that are sensitive, such as to be proud of our own culture and our way of life, without being called a racist.

I was surprised by your way of formulating yourself.
Fortunately we live in a world that doesn't resolve around you. I can eat Colombian food with my half Swedish half Filipina girlfriend. Diversity like many other things comes with its problems especially when we're talking about people of different cultures coming from 3rd world countries but its a little more complicated than just running away from it especially in the world we're heading into. Sometimes the present needs to suffer in order for the future to be bright even if there's more whining in comment sections than there is suffering. People like you are probably the reason Aliens if exist haven't shown themselves. Scared of change. Automatically against anything different. Hard to be open minded. See the big picture. That weight our species has held onto from the start that pushes back against progression because they're scared of the change it requires.I simply do not want multiculturalism and diversity,
Seems like the type of propaganda quote one uses to hide the fact they're a white supremacist.Diversity is death.
Nationalism is life.
You know what my first thought was once migrants started pouring through Hungary? "I hope the backlash isn't worse than the problem." And it would have been, guaranteed, if not for the fence. So thankfully the solution prevented the real possibility of festering animosity that would have eventually turned ugly. Now every Magyar just shrugs their shoulders and says, to paraphrase, "they're incompatible, but I have no problems with their incompatibility as long as it doesn't happen here". A better solution for a more aggressive and angry people's than if the anger was allowed to grow.Yes, honest discussion is something i ask for. I am of the belief that if you do not have a sensible discussion about this then it is created more racism, and it is something I have noticed of more in Sweden. We have become more racist and it is not about the neanderthal in the deepest cavities in the country, but ordinary people in workplaces who talk quietly. And I can promise you how much the police are holding to keep the mask so they don't say what they think. Just within that work that has had a lot of strokes from scornful and provocative kids has become more hateful.
It's a mess and sad is it.

I feel like some people with your mentality ended up on the wrong timeline and was supposed to be born a viking raiding villages and slaughtering women & children but for some reason you ended up in 2019 and hate how different it is.

Guess I'm saying societal problems need to be faced and handled before they reach a breaking point, and the only way to face them is through honest dialogue. Repression leads to ugliness, but from everything I read you north and west Euros are starting to talk about things more openly. No, Europe isn't going to fall or turn Muslim, as some predict, but this isn't going to be solved overnight either, yet I believe it will be figured out in a smart and humane manner as I think you Nordic folks along with Germans to be capable of doing. The French I have my doubts about.Kidding.

I think it will help towards a more secure future for our species as well as other things. I've always believed a nationalist mentality will be dangerous when we start inhabiting new planets and exploring more of the universe. Like when Europeans discovered the Americas. A load of wars based off who's entitled to what. The only difference is our weapons a lot more dangerous. Our species is evolving and as technology advances we will become closer and better to warm up to it now. I'm not saying we should bring in a load of immigrants. I just think how it is now is not as bad as you guys make out. You exaggerate how bad shit really is to push an agenda.Are you really fucking saying that diversity will produce a bright future?
I dont accept any of those things. Just like I dont accept all the white nationalist terror attacks. Doesn't mean we should separate every conservative from the rest of the world. You cannot run away from things like that. I did say diversity comes with its problems and what happens is there will be 1 out of 100 or so refugees that does something bad but we as humans are prone to concentrate on the negative rather than look at the bigger picture. You talk about rape, murder and no go zones. You're fear mongering. Bad things happen but its not as bad as you guys make out. I live Europe. Never seen a no go zone. Know plenty of immigrants who live perfectly normal lives. Doesn;t mean I want Europe to be flooded with refugees because that would be chaos. But how it is now is not that bad. After a few generations people will start to blend in with western society even if they still have their own culture. They will be more civilized.You rationalize and accept the rape, murder, crime, no go zones and terrorism and really believe the victims needed to suffer so you can have your fucked up multicultural dream come true?
Aliens would probably figure out pretty quickly that most people who share your opinions on this matter are simply xenophobic. A more intelligent life form looking at our species from the outside would think the differences our species has with one another is insignificant.Aliens would think you're a fucking idiot. These aliens wouldn't bring millions of us primitive folk into their sophisticated society.
Sharia law will not and should not be accepted. Stop fear fear mongering. Just because some people want it doesn't mean its gonna happen. There's more of a chance that another nazi type empire will emerge in the west than there is for sharia law. Guarantee there are more people who want that in the west than sharia law. I live in the UK and once again you are FEAR MONGERING. Rape gangs, beheadings on the street. Fucking hell. If I didn't live in the UK and was easily fooled I would be freaking out right now.The UK: Rape gangs, terrorism, beheadings in the streets, calls for sharia.
Nah, come.. go in july or august.. island hopping, beaches, sun etc..
You don't have to go to the bad places..
Sweden is still a lot better than most places.. it's just we react badly to this shit.. we are being taxed in a furious way and the government can't deliver what we pay for and basically tells us to shut up or racist..

A good thread by @sweede
Much can be said about Sweden in regards to the lack of integration, rape, youths robbing Swedish youths but at the end of day, one thing will forever change the destiny of this country and it is demography.
In 1960, 4% were of foreign background, in 2018, 29% were of foreign background. In the age group of 0-44, those with a foreign background made up 1/3. That is the group that is going to produce an offspring. According to research, 50% of the children are being born to a mother of a foreign background.
When integration doesn't work with a Swedish majority, then what will happen with a minority-majority? People don't magically change their intolerant views from their native countries when they land on a Swedish airport.
If you add the abysmal track record of few immigrants in the real work force and you have the perfect recipe for a welfare that will erode faster than Askren's brain cells after the bell sounded against Masvidal.
The Swedish politicians recently voted for increased migration by making it easier for relatives to come here so all the talk about stricter migration is merely soundbites for the ignorant.
I hate being a defeatist but two things never lie, debit/credit and demography...but at the end of the day, this is what Swedes want. They have voted for this despite reports coming out from as early as the 60's about foreigners being over-represented in crime and many reports came out in the 80's about the lack of integration. This can only be interpreted as that Swedes are either the dumbest people alive or this is what they want.
According to the government, 306,000 new asylum seekers and relatives are expected to come Sweden between 2019-2022.
Best of luck with the welfare state and integration in Sweden!
