  • this is good data. it feels weird to open a post with an insult only to then align with what i said albeit with more nuance than i could be bothered to add in a post on an internet forum. the brå statistic is a bit more dour than i’d wished. it would be interesting to see the number per capita, as our population has swelled a lot since 2000.

    and yeah, the values thing. i am all for “when in rome”, and that seems increasingly uncommon. i have never encountered it personally but it is obviously happening. i wouldn’t take it as far as the previous guy did though, because you get into Nyheter Idag territory if you go that way.

    also the research article cuts off before the migrant crisis started…



  • i mean, no. there is nothing in “Muslim culture” about forming criminal gangs and throwing grenades. this is all about our social systems breaking down due to being overloaded. it’s an integration failure on the state’s part. people were put in places that were already not well off and that forms societal black holes where it is very difficult to get away. organized crime then seems very attractive.

    the attacks on women and hbtq+ people are by those selfsame nazis. crime has, interestingly enough, stayed the same. violent crime has risen, yes, but other crime has fallen as a result.

    rapes have not skyrocketed. this is a common right-wing talking point outside of sweden, and “ex-pats” love using this as an example of how the country has gone to shit. what actually happened was we changed the way crimes are reported, to make things that were formerly sexual harassment classify as rape of some degree. this is a good thing, as it highlights these behaviours as unacceptable rather than them just being tolerated.

    honestly, it sounds like you should talk to more people while visiting.








  • this is more focused for sure, but it lacks the enthusiasm of the original. if i was trying to do this for work, i would appreciate how quickly it gets to the point. however, it no longer reads like this is something you’re interested in. it reads a bit wooden. i get that would happen after you’ve been told to correct your style though.

    to be clear, the original article doesn’t need to be rewritten. for the future though, when you want to tell the story of how you got something working, include your reasons for doing something a certain way. if you need a self-inflicted complication, that’s not really a part of it (unless it’s funny)


  • your writing overall is good! it’s just a matter of information priority.

    here’s a tip, dunno how applicable it is but i use it when writing technical documentation:

    for each step, explain to yourself why you’re doing it the way you are. if it turns out you caused the step to be needed, rather than it being required, you probably need to rethink, or at least add the explanation to the text.


  • this guide, and the previous one, have a lot of weird superfluous steps. like, why use a command that includes nvim and then ask people to change it instead of just saying “edit the file”? why symlink systemd stuff to your own home directory?

    the info is good, but having to separate the actually useful stuff from things that are specific to your config makes it less useful.


  • it’s not replacement, it’s expansion. our population has grown by about 2%. also, since we pivoted to a “service economy”, we are down on entry level jobs, which are being taken by immigrants because 1) the higher-education jobs all have stricter requirements and 2) they have more work experience and are willing to work for less than swedish teenagers.

    none of this matters to the people who fear them taking over. it’s pure populism.


  • hi, i’m a progressive swedish leftist.

    what happened was, the centre-right coalition that made the decision to take in immigrants had no integration plan. these people basically got sent off to places where there was already a higher percentage of immigrants, forming a sort of parallel society.

    However, this was about ten years ago, after most of these current gang criminals were born.

    the main issue is that due to a decision by a left-wing govt in the 90s, school and youth activity budgets are handled at a local level, meaning poorer areas get much lower quality education, and less recreation. it’s a textbook high-criminality recipe.
