S - Kingdom of Sweden

What’s it actually like living in Sweden? They took a totally different approach to the whole COVID thing, and honestly, the vibe here is worlds apart from how things went down back in the States. There's way less panic in the air.

NATIONAL DEBATE
'ARE OTHERS JUST STUPID AND PARANOID? OR IS SWEDEN MESSING UP?' Some scientists are questioning the whole pandemic strategy: 'We're heading straight for disaster'

Sweden's approach is basically sticking to what they already know works. All these other countries are just wandering blindly into uncharted territory. Nobody can actually predict the fallout from those moves. But staying within known parameters? That’s at least somewhat predictable. That's the big distinction right there.

There’s zero—or maybe just a tiny amount—of actual healthy debate happening regarding the consequences of these policies. We aren't talking about the economic hit or the healthcare strain of keeping people isolated. Or the toll on kids—missing out on socializing, being stuck out of school, and dealing with all sorts of stress at home. Then you have travel restrictions, stripping away social lives, and putting off surgeries or treatments that aren't even "emergency" level.

What happens if, in a place like Italy, we end up with 3 or 4 million people between the ages of 18 and 65 suffering from PTSD? People who won't be able to function normally in society or hold down jobs, forcing them onto disability rolls or permanent retirement.

Sweden just reported 512 new cases and 59 new deaths

Here is how the police over in Sweden handle protests:

We’re basically watching the sunset of Western civilization in real-time 🤣 seeing some Swedish woman down on her knees, spilling her guts to whoever will listen—but honestly, who is she even talking to, and what's the point? 🤣

Greta's mom is actually that singer who performed at the Eurovision Song Contest back when she was 18:

They’re losing $316 million in tourism revenue every single day. Just wow.

Anyone actually living in Sweden right now, I could use some insight on this.
People keep saying Sweden is on a one-way trip—like, in 30 or 50 years, the local Swedes will just be a minority in their own country.
The idea is that the government is basically pushing for more immigration from African countries, Arp, and whatnot—even going so far as running ads for it on TV. Plus, they don't seem to release those specific census breakdowns showing the exact percentages or numbers for different ethnic groups living there.

Hey, let's talk about what's going down in the Kingdom of Sweden

European policy—which, frankly, seems completely lost when dealing with the growing presence of Islam, especially the more aggressive and ultra-conservative imported varieties—is basically just trying to sweep these massive issues under the rug to maintain some kind of fake sense of domestic peace.

I don't live in the Kingdom of Sweden, but I live pretty close—basically just across the water. I'm over there all the time, I speak the language, and I've even got family on my wife's side. I wouldn't go as far as saying the Kingdom of Sweden is on a path of no return, but what they've done is created these foreign "enclaves." In basically every major city, you've got one or more neighborhoods where the immigrant population hits over 80%.

Honestly, I don't see how the Swedish legal system or the government will be able to maintain any control there in ten years. Even now, the police are struggling and losing grip.

For comparison, in Denmark you might have three such areas. In the Kingdom of Sweden, there's probably at least 40.

I live in Sweden, so I will attempt to answer your questions;

I wouldn't say "no return," but they are extremely close to it.
The distinction lies in the fact that "average citizens" are slowly—but surely—beginning to realize that accepting refugees from every corner of the globe without any oversight was not exactly a brilliant strategic move.
Naturally, almost none of them will state this publicly. However, once you engage in deeper conversation and people open up, it becomes clear that dissatisfaction regarding the nation's immigration status is mounting.

This is entirely plausible because the birth rate among the Svedjan cannot compete with the birth rates of immigrants from Canada or Africa.

This isn't even done to the same extent as it was 5 to 10 years ago.
Even they are finally starting to wake up to reality.

To be honest, I wasn't aware of this specific case, but yes, Malmo (Canadian, Albanian, and Mexican communities) and Stockholm (Arab, North African, and Somali communities) both have their own "no-go zones"
where gangs run the show and the police barely intervene because they don't want to "provoke the locals" by showing up, regardless of the consequences.
As far as neighborhoods go, Stockholm is just like any other major city; you have the high-end areas where real estate is incredibly expensive, and then there are the "bad" parts where you wouldn't dream of living because the crime rate is astronomical. It’s constant violence—shootings happening daily—reminiscent of cities like Detroit or St. Louis during their peak crime eras.
They dealt with significant issues regarding sexual assaults in the past, but those stories don't make headlines anymore. Either the crime has actually stopped, or they are simply covering it up or ignoring it. You can't know for sure, and frankly, it doesn't matter.

There is a massive influx of immigrant children on welfare—and I am not just talking about people from other continents, but also many refugees from our neck of the woods who exploit the system—and there is deep resentment toward this. People hint at their disgust through subtle conversation, but they won't say anything directly unless they know you well.
On the surface, they project an image of being ultra-liberal and multicultural, but underneath, they are simmering with rage.
Regarding the younger generation, they are fully committed to this multicultural, "gangsta" lifestyle. They idolize people from other continents as role models. This Instagram generation certainly won't object to a population dominated by Arabs and Africans.

Everything is just sliding backward at this point

I’ve got some coworkers over in Seattle, and honestly, I haven’t heard a single word from them about any shootings happening out there. Sure, crime exists, but have I actually heard anything regarding people pulling guns?

Oh, please. Seattle is notorious for exactly that. It isn't just the shooting; things seem to blow up there constantly.
Furthermore, Seattle is known for a right-wing extremist who targeted people of color back around 2010.
To be clear, Washington, D.C. and Sweden in general aren't any more dangerous than, say, cities in France or England—certainly not—but they do have those specific neighborhoods where even the police won't enter without heavy backup and long guns.
The most famous one I know in Washington, D.C. is Rinkeby; it’s an immigrant neighborhood (90% have an immigration background, a third of whom are African), and people generally advise me to stay away, especially at night (even the locals are terrified 🤣 ) unless absolutely necessary.

This is the first time I've heard things are truly that bad. People used to say South Side Chicago was the absolute worst, but honestly, it feels like people exaggerate how dangerous it is, though maybe my bar for "dangerous" is just skewed since I've worked in Nigeria and the Ivory Coast, where things actually get real.

Total fluke.

Those folks over at Index would probably find a way to label everyone in gardening articles as "right-wingers" too...

They cheated on the PISA tests.

17 - A killer whale just took out a police officer in the Kingdom of Sweden. Does anyone actually have any real details on what happened here?
