Swedish PM says integration of immigrants has failed, fueled gang crime

Sweden admits the Left is IN-correct?

I wonder if we'll ever get over the hump in human development of assuming "bigotry" as the root cause of everything bad in the world. obviously it exists, but the world is more nuanced than "bigots ruin everything for non-bigots" being the core of every issue. by no means is it a mystery as to how we got here, but still, it's disappointing that we seem to have sort of high-centered on this false idea that unlimited tolerance is the only solution to everything and anything short of it is just plain old-fashioned "bigotry", and we seem to lack the means of getting unstuck. it's pretty hard to be optimistic about this—the "bigotry" narrative is very appealing and easy to take at face value without putting any further thought into the issues at play. everyone wants to be a good person (or at least think of themselves as such).

The current prime minister of Sweden [1] is the leader of the Social Democrats, and not a right-winger.

Not sure it was “the left’s” fault.

It was Olof Palme, a famously leftist prime minister that facilitated refugee immigration – but Sweden also had much more “aggressive” integration policies. There was more effort put into training to get immigrants into the labor market, housing was less segregated… a lot of that ended and it will continue to get worse as the country turns right wing.

But it’s going to happen with other staples of Swedish society. Give it just a year or two until there’s a “is Swedish welfare unsustainable?” and the answer will be the same: No, the right is just strangling it.
