This is such a huge issue with Sweden that I've been waiting for this kind of upheaval for a long while now. Sorry to hear you're caught in the middle of it.

I don't know, but even as a citizen I would seriously consider getting the fuck out if it keeps escalating. The dominant social order has been one of neolib elites talking down at literally everyone else from their imaginary moral high horse. The nationalists feed on this.

And now that you have your COVID legitimacy crisis around the prevailing IYIdiocracy, I would only expect that situation to deteriorate. Unlike elsewhere, there hasn't been either A) a high emphasis on integration or B) major concessions to the nationalists to keep them sedated.

It has seemed utterly criminal how many immigrants Sweden has taken on in such a short time, when you consider the wider economic policy. It's the same as the sheer rate of economic globalization. Everything is a "racist dog whistle" if it opposes neoliberal corporate hegemony.

It's no wonder the nativists get away with so much bullshit when the well has been so thoroughly poisoned by years of propaganda. There are clearly limits to how well a couple of isolated countries in the EU can absorb cultural & economic shock. Why is it not distributed?

E.g. countries like Poland and Hungary take HUGE sums of economic help from the EU to "develop" their countries (read: fund their clientelist politics). How the fuck is it fair that the EU in aggregate pays for this, and then Sweden, Germany etc. pay for the brunt of immigrants?

I do think this is deliberate. There is huge wage deflation when you take on, contrary to the popular stereotypes, huge quantities of highly skilled labor. This then becomes a cover for what is essentially a more efficient, comprehensive alternative to union busting.
