As long as you continue to blame all of your country’s problems on Muslims you will never have the understanding needed to actually fix them.
Comment on How to reduce the crime rate to 0
1984@lemmy.today 1 day agoI gave up hope when they said welcome to millions of immigrants, without any filter whatsoever, just come to the country without having a job, income, and you dont have to learn the language. Oh and here is some money too so you can stay at home. And here is an apartment.
LOL. Swedish people are like…what happened… :)
It was very nice of them, very human, but now the country has massive problems and it wont get any better.

Sometimes the problem is immigration. I dont blame muslims, I blame Sweden.

I’m familiar enough with right wing misinformation to know that immigrants being responsible for increased crime - and even that crime is increasing at all - is an entirely fabricated narrative in the US. I confess not being familiar with the situation in Sweden, but I can recognize the same false narrative reflected in your previous comment.

In Sweden its definently the case. This doesnt mean that all immigrants are criminals. It means that criminal gangs came with the other immigrants, established a foothold in the country, and are now causing a lot of gang related crime in the country.
But that doesnt mean i dislike all immigrants or anything like that. Most are very nice people who wanted a better life here. But the problems the country has now is because of those gangs, not because of native Swedish people. It just means that immigration brought problems to the country. It happens in every country. But to the natives, its not fun to experience it.
Immigration is very good for the immigrants. They get a better life here. And thats nice. But its not without problems for the country.

Which reality are you living in? I’d like to visit, out of curiosity.
1984@lemmy.today 2 hours ago
The real world. Have you experience with living in Sweden? A lot of opinions but you just dont know otherwise.

And yes, now they are using the crime as an excuse to put cameras and change laws, as expected. It was probably always the end goal.
I will say this: human greed in our world has no limits.

Since I assume you’re talking about the time after the Arab spring and muslims, instead of the Finns or Yugoslavs or Argentinans or any other immigrant group.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is something you might wanna read up on, article 14 especially.
Anyway, there’s so much dumb shit in your comment that it’s hard to reply to, I mean
Religious freedom in a democracy?! Unheard of.
People fleeing war or 30 years of privatisation, demantling of the socialist society and profit chasing? Who knows what to blame 🤷

Xenophobia knows no bounds. It’s not even just “ew brown people” because people were like this about the Finns as well. It’s just stupidity, and stupidity is everywhere.
1984@lemmy.today 2 hours ago
You know, what is stupid is talking about this when you have no experience of it yourself, and you clearly think any bad opinions about immigration is xenophobia. That is actual stupidity man. You dont have experience and you dont think. Could there be other reasons than skin color? Yeah, lots of reasons. Culture, economics, crime, and so on. The things i actually wrote in my comment.

Right, I even said “it’s not even just ‘ew brown people’”, so I’m not sure what you’re arguing over.
…and that’s the fault of the migrant? We have some flawed social programmes. I won’t argue that SFI isn’t rubbish. I’ve dated two Iranians, SFI is very poorly structured and needs more work done to function well. Students can excel there, absolutely, but it’s not exactly set up in a way to make this happen.
I’m not sure why exactly you list job and income, the two tend to be intrinsically linked.
This also means that the state has a constant check on your finances, and you report monthly to Försäkringskassan/Socialen. It’s not exactly a fun experience, and nothing you flaunt, you’ll never get rich or live large on this money.
Also, you’re aware that you as a Swedish citizen have the ability to do this too, right? Just get rid of all your assets, quit your job, and when you’re living below subsistence minimum go grovel at your local socialtjänst.
Again, as a Swede you have the ability to get this, too, you just need to become homeless first. Give it a shot, if you think the experience is so great. There are social programmes for this, and there are requirements for people that end up in these places.
For example, regular immigrants don’t just get an apartment. Asylum seekers might get a place to live while their application is processed, and once that’s been approved they’ll either be assigned a place to live, or get assistance finding a place to live. A lot of this is done on a case-by-case basis, they might for example already have family already established here.
And what is the problem here? We have freedom of religion here in Sweden, for better and for worse.
Mosques are financed through private financing, generally a tithe collected from the members, grants from the state (which again, if you’re in a religious group you can apply for this too), and private backing from other third-party actors.
The mosques don’t broadcast adhan either, and I don’t think that’s something that would gain any general approval here so I don’t see it happening.
Crime is typically a social problem. Sure, some people are twisted and those that don’t have the contacts required to end up as successful tech-bro CEOs will go about abusing others in a less socially-approved manner, but it’s not a problem inherent to migration.
It takes time to build functioning social programmes, and ours are never allowed to grow into anything functional when our government keeps flip-flopping between the milquetoast left government with the Ayn Rand party making the calls while the nazis set the budget, and the yee-haw capitalist nazi coalition dismantling everything every four years.
