Sweden’s prime minister has summoned the head of the military to discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with an unprecedented crime wave that has shocked the country with almost daily shootings and bombings.
Many other countries have liberal immigration policies and haven’t experienced these problems. Something seems to have gone uniquely wrong in Sweden. Gang membership in Sweden is comprised overwhelmingly of people from a handful of countries: Syria, Serbia, Bosnia, Albania and Iraq. Most immigrants to Sweden come from India for example, and don’t seem to cause problems. Nor do those from Poland or the UK.
It looks like a massive failure to vet individuals from a few nations … possibly out of a misplaced sensitivity to appearing racist.
Well, when you allow anybody regardless of papers or not seek asylum as refugee and then refusing to integrate them into understanding our laws, our culture, our language, and our society, bad things as outcome should be the expectes result. We got almost 1.3 million refugees in 10 years, in a country with 10 million inhabitants. Theyre clustered in parts without many native swedes, and many of them hate eachother due to the conflicts in their homeland. Many don’t identify as swedes, they never even got a chance to integrate into our society and most don’t even know for how much longer they’re allowed to stay. (super ineffective agency, some people have lived here for 10 years before they got fully processed).
There’s a reason why people here have started memeing about the names of people convicted of all these incredibly violent crimes, and it’s because it’s very rarely a nordic name. It’s a sad truth that’s grounded in unforgivably poor politics and immigration policies.
The far right party have grown from being a joke to being the 3rd biggest party because of it. The politics of past parties made the swedish far right into what it now is.
