2:18 Not so "isolated" when kids are hit by the bullets, or when the gang's "kid soldiers" kills the wrong person (wrong flat), or when they bomb the stairway, entrance or whole house. Or when you find lost hand grenades on the grass. That's things that happen in Sweden (in my own hometown too).
We Swedes have actually got some difficulties to package our inner culture values in words, to those who come from another background. I think the reason is just because our Swedish values is built on unwritten rules and individual responsibilities inherited in many, many generations. One of these values and ground pillars is TRUST. It has always been that the society have great trust in its citizens and that the citizens have great trust in society and in each other. And that almost all citizens have been and are striving to take it’s own responsibility for "doing the right thing” that takes into account both themselves and others, even if there are no detailed rules and laws that govern. One simply have not looked for "loopholes". -This collective responsibility has cracked in the egoistic and heterogeneous society we have today. The people who do not share this type of TRUST, for example that society wants to do good for its citizens, tend to go against what is typically Swedish, what our historical culture is based on. And they have increased in number in recent decades.
Equality between men and women are also an issue for many people that come from other cultures. Culture of honour (hederskultur) are also an issue that some immigrants can´t stay away from. Values that Swedes can´t accept excisting in their country. There are so many differences in cultural values that it seems difficult for an immigrant to integrate into the Swedish culture if these Swedish values are not respected. That is why many Swedes don´t want to have contact with other people from other countries and help them with the Swedish language and help them to integrate. I have seen so many problems in my work every day in Sweden that it becomes difficult to believe that integration is possible for some immigrants. The government has also done a lot of mistakes through decades when it comes to integration and not put enough responsibility on immigrants to integrate from the very beginning. People are able to move to other areas than just areas full of immigrants and the government should do more here to help. Also, when you are i. e. a 50 year old woman with 8 children and no husband taking responsibility, and you don´t have any education whatsoever from your homecountry and you start on level A at SFI in Sweden, it is extremely difficult to learn Swedish and to get a job and nobody seems to talk about this or understand this, especially not politicians that are living far away from the problem. The demands on the Swedish language skills are also wrong and the demand of someone who wants to be i.e. a cook has to show that he/she can analyse Swedish texts that you do at the university are not working and this has to change. It is the same thing for young people at primary school and those problems within the schoolsystem (systemfel) has to be changed before we can see any real changes.
@ you are so right. The culture with equality between men and women in Sweden and the culture of honour from other cultures are two things that cause friction in valuation bases
Regarding teaching Swedish as a second language: If you live in a place in Sweden which do not have a high population of people from other countries ALL kids will be in the same class, and everything will be in Swedish, equal to all. But Sweden also offers extra study in Swedish when needed and also courses in their own language, on demand, from their parents. -The consequence though, when you happens to live in an area with a majority of people coming from other countries, is that the majority then need EXTRA support in the Swedish language. Therefore, the Swedish teaching of kids in schools in such areas has been adapted, to ensure that everyone keeps up. It is not stated that that is a different type of Swedish teaching per definition. But of course, it becomes more basic when most of the children do not have Swedish with them from home and they speak many different home languages. -SFI, Swedish for Immigrants, is not a part of kids schools. That is purely another thing. SFI is for new immigrants, adults or older kids. To help them learn Swedish as fast as possible being able to join the Swedish Society, getting higher studies or a job.
Financial support for return migration has existed in Sweden since 1984. According to current regulations, people who wish to return can be granted financial support of SEK 10,000, with a limitation of SEK 40,000 per family, as well as travel compensation
9:50 There is almost no connection at all between povery and violent crimes... That idea is just an old sociology theory (now myth) that refuses to die (probably because it's so lucrative to so many people wanting an "academic" career). This is firmly proven using statistics on twins, brothers, cousins, etc raised in wildly different socioeconomic circumstances.
We've had innocent people sht, bombed to death and so on in several cities just this year. They're shooting in malls, city centres etc in the middle of the day. So no, it's not isolated between gangs anymore. The police in Madrid said that they have criminal gangs from over 60 countries on Cosa del Sol and that the gangs from Sweden is the most violent, by far. Only Mexico has more bomb attacks per capita than Sweden, a recent study from Lunds Universitet showed.
Almost all the shootings are between gangmembers. Its very rare that someone who is not/have not been in a gang gets shot. It does happen though and those cases are of course extremely tragic. Also; A very big majority of the shootings happen in suburbs that around 5% of the population lives in. (And these suburbs makes up around 0,02% of Swedens geographical area). . Its also important to remember that the rate of murder (per capita) is still higher in Finland than in Sweden. (Probably because Finland was a poor war torn country for large parts of the 1900’s which still affects the level of addiction and violence to some extent.) The rate of murder is ten times higher in Russia. And a couple of Latin American countries have 50-80 times higher murder rates. . Explosions have for some periods these latest years been at a high level though, that is true. And the situation is very serious but its still important to put some things in perspektive. Sweden is still in the top 30 list of the safest countries in the world for an ex. (Denmark is in top 5 and Norway and Finland in top 15 or 20.) Most areas are safe or very safe.
@@memoblom2112 You're just saying the same old stuff. You're part of the problem. Sweden is the ONLY country in europe where gun murder rates are going up. We HAVE THE 2ND MOST BOMB ATTACKS IN THE WORLD
This is not true at all, you are making this up! Overall, Sweden is a very safe country, much safer than, for example, England or the USA. These gangs in Spain that you are talking about are not Swedish at all.
@@kopettapple7920 I'm not lying, you are. Yes, Several gang members has even been arrested there. And no, not ethnical Swedes. I said gangs FROM Sweden. But you know more about gangs in Spain than the police in Madrid, is that what you're saying? You're honestly just embarrasing yourself right now.
You missunderstood what the female police officer said about the school system. They do not go to a different school system than any other kids do. They also learn swedish as their first language.
@@vihreelinja4743 but the Swedish School system for kids is equal for ALL kids. Then the same teaching plan applies. You are thinking about the SFI, Swedish for Immigrants. And that is not the ordinary School, it is another system and offered for all new immigrants in order to start to learn Swedish, being able to join ordinary Swedish school or getting a job.
In Swedish school the teachers arent there to teach you manners or to raise the kids. Alot of responsibility lay on the parents to do that, and if you have parents who aren't available to do so because they have to jobs or are away alot of course the kids raise of to be problematic. Thats why the gangs pick up the kids and "raise" them give them a sense of belonging. When I studied in Portugal as a kid the school there they really teached you manners and how to be. I'm sure many of the immigrants think the Swedish school is like that too but it isnt.
I used to work in a small school about 7 years ago as a "Student Assistant". At that school every kid had the same Swedish course. The only time I can recall them getting "Swedish 2" was some students learning extra Swedish, so both the normal course and "Swedish 2" as extra education after school. Might have been a few outliers that needed extra help, by learning at a slower pace or a previous years course. To be clear they were never separated from the rest of the class unless themselves asked for it, to be able to concentrate better. We also didn't call it Swedish 2, we called that course SFI or Svenska för invandrare (Swedish for Immigrants) The police in the video is obviously talking about her lived experience, so I don't know if that was the case back in the days or maybe it's different in certain parts of Sweden, like Rinkeby. In the end i think the education varies a lot, even in the same school. Different kids got different needs, born in Sweden or not.
I'm the child of an immigrant and went to a school dominated by immigrants. We had svenska som andraspråk as standard. It was until i started gymnasiet that i learned SVA stood for svenska som andraspråk and not svenska. FYI most of the children from my school lived in rinkeby, tensta, hässelby etc.
@@Ok-tl1dv I see, I suppose it's different in a school dominated by immigrants. The school I worked at was very small and probably only had around 10-20% immigrants. Wish they would at least give the choice in your case, but maybe there is an "resource issue" or something. Thanks for sharing your perspective however, now I have a more informed view :)
Regarding teaching Swedish as a second language: If you live in a place in Sweden there do not have a high population of people from other countries ALL kids will be in the same class, and everything will be in Swedish, equal to all. But Sweden also offers extra study in Swedish when needed and also corses in their own laguage on demand from their parents. -The consequence is when you happens to live in an area with a majority of people coming from another country is that the majority need EXTRA support in the Swedish language.

This narrative that people become criminals because of socio-economic factors has been the explanation in Sweden for decades. It might have been true earlier, but is not the case today. Only 11-13 % of the criminality can be explained by socio-economic factors. The real reasons are mainly two. Some years ago, the chief of police shocked everyone by stating in an interview that at least 40 clans (big families) had come to Sweden with the intention to commit crimes. This is because Sweden have very generous welfare and compensational systems with very few checks and balances in combination with laws and polices that are basically stuck in the Pippi Longstocking times of Sweden. In other words, Sweden was/is the best country for criminals. We don't know how many clans Sweden have today. The second reason is that many of the more recent immigrants, or child's of those immigrants. come from a culture that is very different (Sweden is very extreme if you look at the world value map). A culture where when the government don't crack down hard on criminality, they are seen as weak. And if the government is weak, they don't deserve to be taken seriously, there's a gap to fill.. This in turn has created rich and powerful gang leaders who kids looks up to, and many of the ones shooting others and blowing up apartments are not older than 14 years old. And now it isn't just the recent immigrants. Even fully Swedish kids from wealthy homes are involved, because it's not about not having choice, it's about a lifestyle where you can be someone, with power and money that people look up to, in a very short time and that attracts many kids. Now Sweden is in a situation that is very difficult to solve. However the most important thing is to realise that the problem exists, and that is something that Sweden done quite recently. A few years ago, anyone complaining about the criminality and violence was referred to as someone trying to gain political points by giving Sweden a bad reputation. That has changed and much are done now to try to stop it, but it might be too late. They test different things but so far, it hasn't even stopped it from increasing, which is why I am a bit pessimistic. I belive that Sweden is stuck between a level of criminality that few wants, and a level of war on criminality that few wants. That's why not much is happening.
You get paid for your masters as well. In total you can get money to study for up to about six years, although part (two thirds) of the money is in the form of a loan (but with a very low interest rate). As of now, you get about 400 euro + 800 euro loan every month (but in kr, of course).
We've had high ranking politicians saying that the only thing that is Swedish is barbarism, another said that Swedes are jealous on foreigners because they have culture and swedes only have midsummer and other dorky stuff. So yeah our own people look down on the Swedish culture, we've been taught to prefer other cultures before our own.
8:36 not true, most violent crime is comitted by foreignborn or 1st generations descendants thereof. If accounted for both catergories that figure is 90% of violent crime while constituting a fifth of the population, at that point its not demonizing its factual. And an intresting fact is that previous swedish labour lead governments said that the numbers werent intresting so they didnt release them. Until they were forced to, that is.
20% of Swedish society is now forgein born! So this society has changed very fast! There are news daily about bombing and gun violence with gangs that also wanna spread all over Europe! Not a very beautyful picture of Swedish future. People who get help and come to your house should be thankful what they got and not pay their helpers with violence! As a person from Finland I know what I write, when WWii was going on and Russians were bombing our cities Sweden helped us and they took our children to their own homes to help us. After the war ended many Finnish people immigrated to Sweden and help build up their new home country! Here in Scandinavia we feel like brothers and sisters and we have lots of respect towards each others and when I see some one giving Sweden a bad rap I must answer them, because living over here near them I know more about what and how. So why did no of the rich Arabnations take any of these refuges? Swedish society took too fast too many refuges because they are nice and kind and they wanted to help people in need and now they get a bad rap because of it.
@@danielbengtsson9833By SCB's own numbers, in 2023, the total number of first and second generation immigrants in Sweden is over 3.6 million, but that doesn't account for the rest. About half the population is foreigners.
Special classes to learn swedish is not limited to kids of a different ethnic background... There are definitely swedish kids as well who have learning disabilities, and they go to these same classes as well. So it's not a separate class for immigrants, it is just a special education class, nothing more, nothing less. Sure, if you are of a different ethnic background without any learning disabilities and go to these classes it may seem like it is for "the immigrants", but the truth is that they will still recieve the same level of education so these individuals can get to an okay level since swedish is an obligatory course for EVERYONE and it is required to understand written and spoken swedish for any job on the market. Generally speaking. This means that you do not have to actually speak swedish, just understanding written and spoken swedish and I think that is likely as fair as it can be...
Culture i would say: our culture is summer. Summer houses, boats, midsummer, crayfest. Its festivals all summer, its being outside every hour the sun is out. Our culture is living in for the summer and spending time with each friends all summer. But as you said, our culture is reserved, probably a bit cold in the eyes of some, but very polite and i would say its the norm to be ”woke” or politically correct as we say. We also have a culture of societal trust, where we trust both our goverment but also our community and neighbours alot. We may not say hi to them but leaving the house unlocked while your away for the day isnt unsafe, atleast not on the country side. My family used to leave the carkeys in the car year around before crime went up in our town. Its also very hard getting immegrated into already existint friendgroups here. Thats very sad for people moving country or even city Winter culture is going aborad or traveling to expensive ski resorts. we have really big car culture aswell with mostly 20+ white men driving around with 14 year old girls in their cars listening to the worst kinds of music on the loudest speakers possible aswell.
Swedish teacher here: Swedish as a second language is taught by a teacher that is specialized in teaching swedish to people who haven't a good knowledge of the language, who haven't built the basics at home speaking to their family. The teachers learn in what ways swedish is similar to other languages and little tricks on how to help them. I for one is teaching swedish as a first language and wouldn't be able to explain some basic knowledge in swedish because I have never been taught that. Most of my grammar classes are me giving examples of sentences saying: "you already know how the sentence is supposed to be frased, you know what sounds right" and then me explain why it is that way using grammar. If you don't hear a lot of swedish around you, you don't know what sounds right and would have a hard time to keep up with the class. Unfortunately I know a couple of cases of people being put in swedish as a second language class just because of their upbringing and not because of their use of swedish (they actually had good understanding of when a phrase was right). They would have benefitted more from the "regular" swedish class. People tend to have a preconception on what level some people's swedish is on.
No that she says is wrong , is the other way , This is how the it`s reports in Sweden . Damn i dont like the guy how is reporting this , he is not Swedish and try to put the blame to Sweden. Damn. so fake news.
Just a thought, its always important to understand the agenda and narrative being pushed, especially when reacting to any video. Only when you comprehend what the message is and can comment to it putting it into perspective should you include it in your channel. Sweden draws much attention and for some reason is used as a target for misinformation campaigns from China, Russia, the far right movement and religious extremists. Ist a small country with a small population not afraid of expressing its views internationally which might explain why it is so often targeted.
Targeted by China and Russia? That has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING. Are you saying they are behind the grenade attacks, shootings, gang r*pes etc? What a lunatic. Put on that tin foil hat of yours and go to sleep.
Im half Swedish, at work my entire team of 13 people non is fully Swedish, a lot of people are of mixed nationalities. But heres the catch they are of 2nd or 3rd generation of immigrants. They've had plenty of time to integrate into society. But then again most immigrants in the 70s,80s and 90s where workforce immigration, non of the waves of immigrants in the 2000s have been workforce.
It would be fair if you included a video that explains what the Swedish society actually does to help immigrants to establish themselves in our country.
Country recognition is eerie. I walked into a room and immediately thought (about two people) San Francisco, South London. I was 100% correct. Greenwich in fact.
0:40 This is utterly misleading. The Swedish of the lady is fully comprehensible. It is possible she doesn't speak English, many immigrants never studied that, which isn’t their fault.
kids of the parents who moved here could become lawyers politicians. (ofc with the same work as a regular "swede" had to put in. they get the same treatment in schools and in other workplaces as anyone else. i dont buy this. if there parents, just as your parents from jamaica, would have teach them like they teached you, this problem would be much smaller. problem is they dont.
What she said about immigrant children learning Swedish as a second language in school isn’t entirely accurate. Yes, there are different Swedish language tracks, but it’s based on language proficiency, not just background. If a student’s Swedish is strong enough, they’re placed in "Swedish 1," which is the course for native speakers. However, if their Swedish doesn’t meet certain standards, they’ll likely go into "Swedish as a Second Language." This placement isn’t limited to immigrant children; it also applies to children of Swedish-born parents if their Swedish needs further development
I hate being negative, because I really like your channel, and I somehow only feel compelled to comment when I disagree - So please don't take this as anything other than criticism. When it comes to Swedish politics, especially concerning immigration, you need multiple angles when trying to compile facts. I also wanna preface what I'm about to say with the fact that I don't hate immigrants, in fact I love immigrants. I only hate criminals. With that said, there are without a doubt multiple reasons why immigrant children turn to criminality, and why they are vastly overrepresented when it comes to violent/sexual/gang crimes. But there is no way that it's because of poverty. In Sweden, the social security nets are strong, and as long as you're actually looking for a job, you will get your security benefits, which scale based on your actual necessary expenses like rent, electricity, ISP and food. Lets not blame "socio-economics" blindly. I come from a poor family, we had it "rough" while I was growing up. Many friends had it the same way. We were poor, but we certainly weren't stricken by poverty. Its a government issues for sure though. I think the major issues that created this situation is the drug politics where ultra basic drugs like Cannabis are being illegal, creating a market for the gangs. Criminal politics, Sweden has historically, and are still more for rehabilitation than punishment of criminals, but there has to be a better middle-ground. Rehabilitation sure, but keep your citizens safe first. In my opinion, regardless of age. If you are old enough to choose shooting someone to death, you are old enough to take the consequences of what you've done. And also finally, immigration politics (or lack of integration/assimilation) which causes segregation (lack of belonging), and the fact that there has never been any requirements enforced for asylum seekers/migrants. Why do we have people who've lived in Sweden for 20 years plus who can barely talk Swedish? Its racism of low expectations, as if we couldn't put any requirements of people coming here along with the rights they automatically earn with a Swedish citizenship. Furthermore, if Sweden had properly implemented the process of integration, and spread the amount of migrants over time, all would had been much better. Take 100k every year to a country of merely 10 million and segregation is bound to happen. Ultimately though, everyone is responsible for their own actions. Regardless of where we wanna push the blame.
" there are without a doubt multiple reasons why immigrant children turn to criminality, and why they are vastly overrepresented when it comes to violent/sexual/gang crimes. But there is no way that it's because of poverty. " You know you are disqualifying yourself in that sentence? Right? Of course poverty, can be a reason. Combined with cultural isolation, difficult to get a job, education level, etc. That said, integration must improve - however, institutional racism is a problem. It is much harder to get a job if immigrant than native Swede.
@@_Wolfsbane_ Disqualifying myself from what? I'm not citing sources, but this is literally stats from BRÅ who's job is literally to collect statistics like this. Other than poverty I agree with most of what you said though. But the only poverty in Sweden is if you disqualify yourself from social benefits. Surely we can agree that social benefits can't be without conditions, especially if the condition is simply to actually look for a job?
CSN is only for up to 6 years. So i you already taken out CSN for let's say 4/5 years of a civil engineering degree (1/2 year for paid (if found) apprenticeship and 1/2 of Exjob (kinda apprenticeship too)) they you only have 2 years of CSN left to use if you wanna restudy. So unless you do a 2-year degree, you have to still pay for the rest 1-3 years. CSN covers living and books though. You don't have to pay the university anything for the classes regardless how much you study. Also you have to pay back to CSN if you took the loan part of it. She probably only took the "grant" part of it.
We used to have police distributed all over the towns, like small offices with like 2-4 cops that were responsible for the neighbourhood. they served a purpose of being close to the people and being easy to get to if you have issues as a citizen. this is pretty common in japan still. sadly we changed that to more centralized police hqs in the middle of the town or in stockholm. And yes, most gangs are economically people. Used to be the MC gangs, hells angels etc. but they got outcompeted. I am surprised this video is decently is not complete garbage.
16:50 it's not really that easy. Alot of the culture of the parents of criminals is that you can let your kids go out and run around. If they do something wrong some parent or older person that is outside will tell the kids off if they do something wrong. The community parent kids together. In Sweden it's not the same. You do not go up to someone else's children. Also in warmer countries older people sit outside and drinking tea and so on. In Sweden it's to cold. So the kids are let outside, no one is watching them, they do bad stuff, no one tells them off, they get away with it, and there you have a spiral where the kids go down and gets worse and worse.
I call bullshit on most of the arguments lifted in this clip. There are no "seperate classes for immigrants" etc, there is however "native/mother tounge language classes" these are not mandatory but are something immigrants (regardless of origin, ie if you're from america you have the right to such classes as much as someone from an arabic country). It's pretty obvious that it's totally unreasonable to expect the swedish school system to afford dedicated classes for people of certain ethnicity or languages. However it's completely obvious that there are lots of immigration problems but blaming it on the socity and the govnerment, everyone who immigrated to Sweden has gone through the same system. Yet the outcome is completely different for certain ethnicities to others, it's interesting indeed.
I agree that it is partly difficult to define Swedish culture. I partly watch your videos because it makes me a little proud to be Swedish. Swedishness is unfortunately partly associated with a certain nationalism and other sensitive history. Sorry I accidentally took over the entire comment field.
Without nationalism nothing "is" Swedish. The very idea of denoting something as being "Swedish", "English", "French" or whatever, that is what nationalism means. No worse than that. Being proud over your heritage is *very* nationalist though...
"The government" does this or that is in my opinion a bit sweeping. I would rather say "political interest group". It is true that the current government is right wing, and tend to use immigrants as the root of our problems. And it is true they were voted into power. My personal view is that we are currently neglecting our young people, and our immigrant male youth especially. The statistics I have seen states that second generation young women are doing best of all groups in higher education, but the young men are lagging from start.
I also think, or maybe its a little wish, that what because of what they did to my people, the sami, where they force all of us to learn swedish and our language almost went extint, that maybe that wanted kids to have the opportunity to learn their heartlanguage as first language
Yes yes, if you take care to angle a story you can find evidence for most things. If you instead look at available statistics, you can see, for example, that crime in Sweden has actually fallen in recent years. Not much, it must be admitted, but still. The UK and Sweden differ by less than half a "crime index" unit with Sweden in fourth place and the UK in fifth place. If you instead look at the homicide statistics in Europe, you can see that the most dangerous areas are southern France, southern Italy and the Baltic states. The world's happiest country, Finland, actually has more murders per capita than Sweden. The fact that Sweden has a high number of rapes is probably not least due to the fact that we have the world's strictest legislation for what is considered to be rape. So I'd say it's not at all as one-dimensional as this video makes it seem. We definitely currently have problems with integration, exclusion, and gang-related violent crime, but not nearly to the extent you'd think if you just listen to the plain old bigot propagandists/fact resistant nationalists/and the just xenophobic and racist extremists who've had the same message all my life (67 years). Only the target of their disgust has shifted. In the 1950s and sixties, it was Italians, Greeks and Turks who got called ”black-skulls”. After that there were the refugees from the Balkan wars and now most recently Arabs, people from Afghanistan and Mozambique / Eritrea. Sigh 😔 😮💨
I've seen this video before.. There are so many inaccuracies in it.. the reporter isn't from Sweden and isn't Familiar with how Sweden is nowadays and its problems. First of all.. the 34 000:- is only a proposal.. The majority of immigrants in Sweden are family immigration or economic refugees. Not asylum seekers. So these are the ones to whom the return subsidy is directed to.. not actual refugees. And well.. the criminal's don't wanna become doctors.. do they... 😅 They're gang members getting away with a tap on the wrist... And isn't interesting, the fact that their neighbor countries didn't open their doors... 🤔 It's the same problem now with the war in Gaza... You don't see their neighbors welcoming them.. I wonder way... 🤔 You completely misunderstood what the police said.. they are thought Swedish in the same class room as everyone else.. but they do get offered lessons in their mother tongue. Separate from the other lessons...
But the immigrants gets more money that our eldery people gets in pension. And they have worked here all their life. I didnt see our eldery people sell drug because they are poor. So why sell drugs. Why dont swedish kids gets into drug selling so much when they get the same education and disipline in school? The schools have not a responsible to disipline the kids. Thats a parenting problem. Every immigrant are getting school classes to learn swedish. But I have notice that when you are going to tell an immigrant that they are doing wrong suddenly they cant speak a word swedish. Isnt that strange? Noo they are not taking our jobs och houses. But when they came we didnt have jobs we didnt have houses enought. But in my town the immigrants wasnt even happy to live in apartments. They demanded houses to live in. Beacause Swedes got houses. And they only get apartments. Can say it was people from somalia that demanded that. There is a youtube film about it. We are many that love our culture but the other lefties and socialists have made it hard to be proud of it because in their eyes its ugly. And if you say anything about it that in Sweden we are doing in this way you will be slaughtered by the lefties and socialists. You can loose you job and and work partners frezee you out. Not talking to you and so on. Its not okej to say that we have a swedish culture here.
Damn, Sweden, you school system is there to teach kids to become proper citizens. Swedish should be only language they are taught in. Ofc, first teach them Swedish if they don't know it yet.
I do think you got it right/understand.. its kinda same problem in many whealty european countrys.. integration! The trouble with Sweden is, that we are and supose to be a middleclass country.. everyone supose to be middle class (lagom)! Every f*king thing "almoste" is about a middle class living! Then those women.. its all kind of oportunity for everyone to get axess of, if one tryes and and compete with others to get them! A good sign is that women born in sweden of imigrantes.. 60% goes to University! Its mayby not that impressive if one compare to women born of swedish parents.. its altso 60%.. its a women thing and have probably something to do with gender equality?? However.. there is altso a strong male cultur in sweden.. especialy in the countryside.. im gonna get a job at the local industry,, like my father, and get a high salary.. without freaking teoretical studys! You can make it like you want.. its onlys this that global trade change.. its this that those manual jobs is now done in china! Soo there is joke in sweden.. we do have the moste educated taxi/buss/tram/train-drivers! Its probably first imigrantes.. if own a car in the country one come frome one have learned to drive cars.. if one alredy speak english.. as a second languege.. one is probably well educated in ones homeland? Another rumor I here.. is that kids in Rinkeby learn Somali first.. even if the speak another language at home.. becuse Rinkeby supose to be a Somali village in Stockholm??? And I have talked to my friend frome UK.. yea we have the same problem.. earlyer and mayby worse.. so its not at news in UK anymore????
I was born in the late 80s and grew up in Sweden knowing that Swedes, regardless of skin color and origin, have been criminals. It is as you say that it is people who ended up in a lower class/position. In 2011, research showed that Y-names were overrepresented in our prisons. Typical Swedish names such as Conny, Ronny, Benny, Kenny etc. Which can be linked to the fact that y-names were popular in a social group with worse conditions. Such as the fact that the criminal has parents who belong to the working class and grew up in a socio-economically vulnerable area. The y-name theory is something I heard a little bit from time to time growing up. But nowadays, after the wave of refugees in 2015, the social debate is only about crime caused by immigrants. But immigrants who grew up in Sweden after 2015 have even worse conditions than the working class. Since 2015, racism has increased and now we have a policy that puts all the blame on immigrants. When it is Sweden, regardless of the government, that has failed with integration.
Almost all the shootings are between gangmembers. Its very rare that someone who is not/have not been in a gang gets shot. It does happen though and those cases are of course extremely tragic. Also; A very big majority of the shootings happen in suburbs that around 5% of the population lives in. (And these suburbs makes up around 0,02% of Swedens geographical area). . Its also important to remember that the rate of murder (per capita) is still higher in Finland than in Sweden. (Probably because Finland was a poor war torn country for large parts of the 1900’s which still affects the level of addiction and violence to some extent.) The rate of murder is ten times higher in Russia. And a couple of Latin American countries have 50-80 times higher murder rates. . Explosions have for some periods these latest years been at a high level though, that is true. And the situation is very serious but its still important to put some things in perspektive. Sweden is still in the top 25 or 30 list of the safest countries in the world for an ex. (Denmark is in top 5 and Norway and Finland in top 15 or 20.) Most areas are safe or very safe. . There has been some big misstakes made. There was a very liberal trend when it came to migration both on the left side and the right side of the political spectrum and problems with integration/migration and segregation were barely discussed. It was seen as uncivilized to talk about issues connected to migration as problems. This made way for a nationalist party, with neo-nazi roots, to become big. Today they’re the second biggest party and 20 years ago they were almost non-existent. (They call themselves social conservative nationalists these days). And most parties say that we need to have strict migration policies today.
The part of teaching swedish as a second language must be special cases, where I grew up we also was in the same class. No separation, feels strange otherwise. I didn't quite understand that part. But yeah, the politics is a bit upside down in my opinion and yes we have more extrem party that have taken a lot of seat in the goverment, wisch of course complicate it more. I like your thoughts on everything in this and the last one. It's a complex issue that needs a solution. And it's not doing over night. Thank you for seeing more than one side of it all.🙏
We have a coalition government made up of right-wing ideological parties. The government consists of three parties that cooperate with one other party to be able to govern completely. The party they collaborate with is a nationalist party with Nazi roots. They claim to have gotten rid of their Nazi roots. But nowadays they call themselves "critical of Islam" and for example want to support Israel with more weapons against Gaza/Palestine. And they claim that there is a population exchange here in Sweden. So this party is the one driving proposals to pay people to move back. But the government's own investigators denied the proposal. Partly because it can have a negative effect on integration, based on the fact that people can feel unwelcome. But it seems that the government will still implement the proposal. My own thought is that it would be difficult for people to move back. Because several of our immigrant groups come from countries that are still affected, at the level where people can risk their lives if they go back.
The actual roots of that kind is at Socialdemokraterna. It was under them doctors sterilized "non worthy" individuals, made cruel experiments on retarded people, and measured skulls. At that time, Sweden inspired the national socialists in Germany with their race hygiene institute. Meanwhile, their collaborators (now as well as then), the party Centerpartiet (formerly Bondeförbundet), were openly supporting national socialists ideas.
2:18 Not so "isolated" when kids are hit by the bullets, or when the gang's "kid soldiers" kills the wrong person (wrong flat), or when they bomb the stairway, entrance or whole house. Or when you find lost hand grenades on the grass. That's things that happen in Sweden (in my own hometown too).
We Swedes have actually got some difficulties to package our inner culture values in words, to those who come from another background. I think the reason is just because our Swedish values is built on unwritten rules and individual responsibilities inherited in many, many generations.
One of these values and ground pillars is TRUST. It has always been that the society have great trust in its citizens and that the citizens have great trust in society and in each other.
And that almost all citizens have been and are striving to take it’s own responsibility for "doing the right thing” that takes into account both themselves and others, even if there are no detailed rules and laws that govern. One simply have not looked for "loopholes".
-This collective responsibility has cracked in the egoistic and heterogeneous society we have today.
The people who do not share this type of TRUST, for example that society wants to do good for its citizens, tend to go against what is typically Swedish, what our historical culture is based on. And they have increased in number in recent decades.
Equality between men and women are also an issue for many people that come from other cultures. Culture of honour (hederskultur) are also an issue that some immigrants can´t stay away from. Values that Swedes can´t accept excisting in their country. There are so many differences in cultural values that it seems difficult for an immigrant to integrate into the Swedish culture if these Swedish values are not respected. That is why many Swedes don´t want to have contact with other people from other countries and help them with the Swedish language and help them to integrate. I have seen so many problems in my work every day in Sweden that it becomes difficult to believe that integration is possible for some immigrants. The government has also done a lot of mistakes through decades when it comes to integration and not put enough responsibility on immigrants to integrate from the very beginning. People are able to move to other areas than just areas full of immigrants and the government should do more here to help. Also, when you are i. e. a 50 year old woman with 8 children and no husband taking responsibility, and you don´t have any education whatsoever from your homecountry and you start on level A at SFI in Sweden, it is extremely difficult to learn Swedish and to get a job and nobody seems to talk about this or understand this, especially not politicians that are living far away from the problem. The demands on the Swedish language skills are also wrong and the demand of someone who wants to be i.e. a cook has to show that he/she can analyse Swedish texts that you do at the university are not working and this has to change. It is the same thing for young people at primary school and those problems within the schoolsystem (systemfel) has to be changed before we can see any real changes.
@ you are so right. The culture with equality between men and women in Sweden and the culture of honour from other cultures are two things that cause friction in valuation bases
Regarding teaching Swedish as a second language: If you live in a place in Sweden which do not have a high population of people from other countries ALL kids will be in the same class, and everything will be in Swedish, equal to all.
But Sweden also offers extra study in Swedish when needed and also courses in their own language, on demand, from their parents.
-The consequence though, when you happens to live in an area with a majority of people coming from other countries, is that the majority then need EXTRA support in the Swedish language. Therefore, the Swedish teaching of kids in schools in such areas has been adapted, to ensure that everyone keeps up. It is not stated that that is a different type of Swedish teaching per definition. But of course, it becomes more basic when most of the children do not have Swedish with them from home and they speak many different home languages.
-SFI, Swedish for Immigrants, is not a part of kids schools. That is purely another thing. SFI is for new immigrants, adults or older kids. To help them learn Swedish as fast as possible being able to join the Swedish Society, getting higher studies or a job.
3:10 No, she is almost totally wrong. It's not "us" that buys the drugs to any significant percentage at all...
I agree, i don't know why she said that, immigrants sell drugs mostly to other immigrants.
Financial support for return migration has existed in Sweden since 1984. According to current regulations, people who wish to return can be granted financial support of SEK 10,000, with a limitation of SEK 40,000 per family, as well as travel compensation
9:50 There is almost no connection at all between povery and violent crimes... That idea is just an old sociology theory (now myth) that refuses to die (probably because it's so lucrative to so many people wanting an "academic" career). This is firmly proven using statistics on twins, brothers, cousins, etc raised in wildly different socioeconomic circumstances.
We've had innocent people sht, bombed to death and so on in several cities just this year.
They're shooting in malls, city centres etc in the middle of the day.
So no, it's not isolated between gangs anymore.
The police in Madrid said that they have criminal gangs from over 60 countries on Cosa del Sol and that the gangs from Sweden is the most violent, by far.
Only Mexico has more bomb attacks per capita than Sweden, a recent study from Lunds Universitet showed.
Almost all the shootings are between gangmembers. Its very rare that someone who is not/have not been in a gang gets shot. It does happen though and those cases are of course extremely tragic. Also; A very big majority of the shootings happen in suburbs that around 5% of the population lives in. (And these suburbs makes up around 0,02% of Swedens geographical area).

@@memoblom2112 You're just saying the same old stuff. You're part of the problem. Sweden is the ONLY country in europe where gun murder rates are going up. We HAVE THE 2ND MOST BOMB ATTACKS IN THE WORLD
@@memoblom2112 and if you just remove 1 part, suddenly EVERYTHING would change....wonder what part that could be?
This is not true at all, you are making this up! Overall, Sweden is a very safe country, much safer than, for example, England or the USA. These gangs in Spain that you are talking about are not Swedish at all.
@@kopettapple7920 I'm not lying, you are. Yes, Several gang members has even been arrested there. And no, not ethnical Swedes. I said gangs FROM Sweden. But you know more about gangs in Spain than the police in Madrid, is that what you're saying? You're honestly just embarrasing yourself right now.
You missunderstood what the female police officer said about the school system. They do not go to a different school system than any other kids do. They also learn swedish as their first language.
Nope. Depending on age and such. They will first go to language classes.. And then attend normal school if possible.
@ really, I didn’t know that. Is it SFI they attend then before normal school?
@@vihreelinja4743 but the Swedish School system for kids is equal for ALL kids. Then the same teaching plan applies.
You are thinking about the SFI, Swedish for Immigrants. And that is not the ordinary School, it is another system and offered for all new immigrants in order to start to learn Swedish, being able to join ordinary Swedish school or getting a job.
In Swedish school the teachers arent there to teach you manners or to raise the kids. Alot of responsibility lay on the parents to do that, and if you have parents who aren't available to do so because they have to jobs or are away alot of course the kids raise of to be problematic. Thats why the gangs pick up the kids and "raise" them give them a sense of belonging.
When I studied in Portugal as a kid the school there they really teached you manners and how to be. I'm sure many of the immigrants think the Swedish school is like that too but it isnt.
I used to work in a small school about 7 years ago as a "Student Assistant".
At that school every kid had the same Swedish course. The only time I can recall them getting "Swedish 2" was some students learning extra Swedish, so both the normal course and "Swedish 2" as extra education after school. Might have been a few outliers that needed extra help, by learning at a slower pace or a previous years course. To be clear they were never separated from the rest of the class unless themselves asked for it, to be able to concentrate better.
We also didn't call it Swedish 2, we called that course SFI or Svenska för invandrare (Swedish for Immigrants)
The police in the video is obviously talking about her lived experience, so I don't know if that was the case back in the days or maybe it's different in certain parts of Sweden, like Rinkeby.
In the end i think the education varies a lot, even in the same school. Different kids got different needs, born in Sweden or not.
I'm the child of an immigrant and went to a school dominated by immigrants. We had svenska som andraspråk as standard. It was until i started gymnasiet that i learned SVA stood for svenska som andraspråk and not svenska. FYI most of the children from my school lived in rinkeby, tensta, hässelby etc.
@@Ok-tl1dv I see, I suppose it's different in a school dominated by immigrants. The school I worked at was very small and probably only had around 10-20% immigrants. Wish they would at least give the choice in your case, but maybe there is an "resource issue" or something.
Thanks for sharing your perspective however, now I have a more informed view :)
Regarding teaching Swedish as a second language: If you live in a place in Sweden there do not have a high population of people from other countries ALL kids will be in the same class, and everything will be in Swedish, equal to all.

This narrative that people become criminals because of socio-economic factors has been the explanation in Sweden for decades. It might have been true earlier, but is not the case today. Only 11-13 % of the criminality can be explained by socio-economic factors.
The real reasons are mainly two. Some years ago, the chief of police shocked everyone by stating in an interview that at least 40 clans (big families) had come to Sweden with the intention to commit crimes. This is because Sweden have very generous welfare and compensational systems with very few checks and balances in combination with laws and polices that are basically stuck in the Pippi Longstocking times of Sweden. In other words, Sweden was/is the best country for criminals. We don't know how many clans Sweden have today.
The second reason is that many of the more recent immigrants, or child's of those immigrants. come from a culture that is very different (Sweden is very extreme if you look at the world value map). A culture where when the government don't crack down hard on criminality, they are seen as weak. And if the government is weak, they don't deserve to be taken seriously, there's a gap to fill.. This in turn has created rich and powerful gang leaders who kids looks up to, and many of the ones shooting others and blowing up apartments are not older than 14 years old.
And now it isn't just the recent immigrants. Even fully Swedish kids from wealthy homes are involved, because it's not about not having choice, it's about a lifestyle where you can be someone, with power and money that people look up to, in a very short time and that attracts many kids.
Now Sweden is in a situation that is very difficult to solve. However the most important thing is to realise that the problem exists, and that is something that Sweden done quite recently. A few years ago, anyone complaining about the criminality and violence was referred to as someone trying to gain political points by giving Sweden a bad reputation. That has changed and much are done now to try to stop it, but it might be too late. They test different things but so far, it hasn't even stopped it from increasing, which is why I am a bit pessimistic. I belive that Sweden is stuck between a level of criminality that few wants, and a level of war on criminality that few wants. That's why not much is happening.
You get paid for your masters as well. In total you can get money to study for up to about six years, although part (two thirds) of the money is in the form of a loan (but with a very low interest rate). As of now, you get about 400 euro + 800 euro loan every month (but in kr, of course).
We've had high ranking politicians saying that the only thing that is Swedish is barbarism, another said that Swedes are jealous on foreigners because they have culture and swedes only have midsummer and other dorky stuff. So yeah our own people look down on the Swedish culture, we've been taught to prefer other cultures before our own.
8:36 not true, most violent crime is comitted by foreignborn or 1st generations descendants thereof. If accounted for both catergories that figure is 90% of violent crime while constituting a fifth of the population, at that point its not demonizing its factual. And an intresting fact is that previous swedish labour lead governments said that the numbers werent intresting so they didnt release them. Until they were forced to, that is.
20% of Swedish society is now forgein born! So this society has changed very fast! There are news daily about bombing and gun violence with gangs that also wanna spread all over Europe! Not a very beautyful picture of Swedish future. People who get help and come to your house should be thankful what they got and not pay their helpers with violence! As a person from Finland I know what I write, when WWii was going on and Russians were bombing our cities Sweden helped us and they took our children to their own homes to help us. After the war ended many Finnish people immigrated to Sweden and help build up their new home country! Here in Scandinavia we feel like brothers and sisters and we have lots of respect towards each others and when I see some one giving Sweden a bad rap I must answer them, because living over here near them I know more about what and how. So why did no of the rich Arabnations take any of these refuges? Swedish society took too fast too many refuges because they are nice and kind and they wanted to help people in need and now they get a bad rap because of it.
And another 20-30% has foreign born parents and/or grandparents (they don't mix in a lot, to say the least).
@@herrbonk3635 nah, it's 20% foreign born an about 12% who have a parent who is foreign born.
@@danielbengtsson9833By SCB's own numbers, in 2023, the total number of first and second generation immigrants in Sweden is over 3.6 million, but that doesn't account for the rest. About half the population is foreigners.
Special classes to learn swedish is not limited to kids of a different ethnic background... There are definitely swedish kids as well who have learning disabilities, and they go to these same classes as well. So it's not a separate class for immigrants, it is just a special education class, nothing more, nothing less.
Sure, if you are of a different ethnic background without any learning disabilities and go to these classes it may seem like it is for "the immigrants", but the truth is that they will still recieve the same level of education so these individuals can get to an okay level since swedish is an obligatory course for EVERYONE and it is required to understand written and spoken swedish for any job on the market. Generally speaking. This means that you do not have to actually speak swedish, just understanding written and spoken swedish and I think that is likely as fair as it can be...
Culture i would say: our culture is summer. Summer houses, boats, midsummer, crayfest. Its festivals all summer, its being outside every hour the sun is out. Our culture is living in for the summer and spending time with each friends all summer. But as you said, our culture is reserved, probably a bit cold in the eyes of some, but very polite and i would say its the norm to be ”woke” or politically correct as we say. We also have a culture of societal trust, where we trust both our goverment but also our community and neighbours alot. We may not say hi to them but leaving the house unlocked while your away for the day isnt unsafe, atleast not on the country side. My family used to leave the carkeys in the car year around before crime went up in our town.
Its also very hard getting immegrated into already existint friendgroups here. Thats very sad for people moving country or even city
Winter culture is going aborad or traveling to expensive ski resorts.
we have really big car culture aswell with mostly 20+ white men driving around with 14 year old girls in their cars listening to the worst kinds of music on the loudest speakers possible aswell.
Swedish teacher here:
Swedish as a second language is taught by a teacher that is specialized in teaching swedish to people who haven't a good knowledge of the language, who haven't built the basics at home speaking to their family. The teachers learn in what ways swedish is similar to other languages and little tricks on how to help them. I for one is teaching swedish as a first language and wouldn't be able to explain some basic knowledge in swedish because I have never been taught that. Most of my grammar classes are me giving examples of sentences saying: "you already know how the sentence is supposed to be frased, you know what sounds right" and then me explain why it is that way using grammar. If you don't hear a lot of swedish around you, you don't know what sounds right and would have a hard time to keep up with the class.
Unfortunately I know a couple of cases of people being put in swedish as a second language class just because of their upbringing and not because of their use of swedish (they actually had good understanding of when a phrase was right). They would have benefitted more from the "regular" swedish class. People tend to have a preconception on what level some people's swedish is on.
No that she says is wrong , is the other way , This is how the it`s reports in Sweden . Damn i dont like the guy how is reporting this , he is not Swedish and try to put the blame to Sweden. Damn. so fake news.
And I don't like how blind you are. It's because of people like you our country is the most dangerous in europe. Well done!
Just a thought, its always important to understand the agenda and narrative being pushed, especially when reacting to any video.
Only when you comprehend what the message is and can comment to it putting it into perspective should you include it in your channel.
Sweden draws much attention and for some reason is used as a target for misinformation campaigns from China, Russia, the far right movement and religious extremists. Ist a small country with a small population not afraid of expressing its views internationally which might explain why it is so often targeted.
Targeted by China and Russia? That has NOTHING to do with ANYTHING.
Are you saying they are behind the grenade attacks, shootings, gang r*pes etc?
What a lunatic. Put on that tin foil hat of yours and go to sleep.
Pure bull. What you write is the actual misinformation campaign.
Im half Swedish, at work my entire team of 13 people non is fully Swedish, a lot of people are of mixed nationalities. But heres the catch they are of 2nd or 3rd generation of immigrants. They've had plenty of time to integrate into society. But then again most immigrants in the 70s,80s and 90s where workforce immigration, non of the waves of immigrants in the 2000s have been workforce.
It would be fair if you included a video that explains what the Swedish society actually does to help immigrants to establish themselves in our country.
To portray the invaders as victims or to insinuate we owe them anything is ludicrous.
Country recognition is eerie. I walked into a room and immediately thought (about two people) San Francisco, South London. I was 100% correct. Greenwich in fact.
0:40 This is utterly misleading. The Swedish of the lady is fully comprehensible. It is possible she doesn't speak English, many immigrants never studied that, which isn’t their fault.
Dude she is saying herself that she cant speak swedish wym 😂 her swedish is not comprehensible, it’s like she haved studied it for 3 months at best.
@Zezam Om du bara har läst svenska i tre månader borde du inte sätta dig till doms över andra. Hennes svenska är fullt begriplig.
kids of the parents who moved here could become lawyers politicians. (ofc with the same work as a regular "swede" had to put in. they get the same treatment in schools and in other workplaces as anyone else. i dont buy this. if there parents, just as your parents from jamaica, would have teach them like they teached you, this problem would be much smaller. problem is they dont.
What she said about immigrant children learning Swedish as a second language in school isn’t entirely accurate. Yes, there are different Swedish language tracks, but it’s based on language proficiency, not just background. If a student’s Swedish is strong enough, they’re placed in "Swedish 1," which is the course for native speakers. However, if their Swedish doesn’t meet certain standards, they’ll likely go into "Swedish as a Second Language." This placement isn’t limited to immigrant children; it also applies to children of Swedish-born parents if their Swedish needs further development
I hate being negative, because I really like your channel, and I somehow only feel compelled to comment when I disagree - So please don't take this as anything other than criticism. When it comes to Swedish politics, especially concerning immigration, you need multiple angles when trying to compile facts. I also wanna preface what I'm about to say with the fact that I don't hate immigrants, in fact I love immigrants. I only hate criminals.
With that said, there are without a doubt multiple reasons why immigrant children turn to criminality, and why they are vastly overrepresented when it comes to violent/sexual/gang crimes. But there is no way that it's because of poverty. In Sweden, the social security nets are strong, and as long as you're actually looking for a job, you will get your security benefits, which scale based on your actual necessary expenses like rent, electricity, ISP and food. Lets not blame "socio-economics" blindly.
I come from a poor family, we had it "rough" while I was growing up. Many friends had it the same way. We were poor, but we certainly weren't stricken by poverty.
Its a government issues for sure though. I think the major issues that created this situation is the drug politics where ultra basic drugs like Cannabis are being illegal, creating a market for the gangs. Criminal politics, Sweden has historically, and are still more for rehabilitation than punishment of criminals, but there has to be a better middle-ground. Rehabilitation sure, but keep your citizens safe first. In my opinion, regardless of age. If you are old enough to choose shooting someone to death, you are old enough to take the consequences of what you've done. And also finally, immigration politics (or lack of integration/assimilation) which causes segregation (lack of belonging), and the fact that there has never been any requirements enforced for asylum seekers/migrants. Why do we have people who've lived in Sweden for 20 years plus who can barely talk Swedish? Its racism of low expectations, as if we couldn't put any requirements of people coming here along with the rights they automatically earn with a Swedish citizenship.
Furthermore, if Sweden had properly implemented the process of integration, and spread the amount of migrants over time, all would had been much better. Take 100k every year to a country of merely 10 million and segregation is bound to happen.
Ultimately though, everyone is responsible for their own actions. Regardless of where we wanna push the blame.
" there are without a doubt multiple reasons why immigrant children turn to criminality, and why they are vastly overrepresented when it comes to violent/sexual/gang crimes. But there is no way that it's because of poverty. "
You know you are disqualifying yourself in that sentence? Right?
Of course poverty, can be a reason. Combined with cultural isolation, difficult to get a job, education level, etc.
That said, integration must improve - however, institutional racism is a problem. It is much harder to get a job if immigrant than native Swede.
@@_Wolfsbane_ Disqualifying myself from what? I'm not citing sources, but this is literally stats from BRÅ who's job is literally to collect statistics like this.
Other than poverty I agree with most of what you said though. But the only poverty in Sweden is if you disqualify yourself from social benefits. Surely we can agree that social benefits can't be without conditions, especially if the condition is simply to actually look for a job?
Well written!
CSN is only for up to 6 years. So i you already taken out CSN for let's say 4/5 years of a civil engineering degree (1/2 year for paid (if found) apprenticeship and 1/2 of Exjob (kinda apprenticeship too)) they you only have 2 years of CSN left to use if you wanna restudy. So unless you do a 2-year degree, you have to still pay for the rest 1-3 years. CSN covers living and books though. You don't have to pay the university anything for the classes regardless how much you study. Also you have to pay back to CSN if you took the loan part of it. She probably only took the "grant" part of it.
We used to have police distributed all over the towns, like small offices with like 2-4 cops that were responsible for the neighbourhood. they served a purpose of being close to the people and being easy to get to if you have issues as a citizen. this is pretty common in japan still. sadly we changed that to more centralized police hqs in the middle of the town or in stockholm.
And yes, most gangs are economically people. Used to be the MC gangs, hells angels etc. but they got outcompeted. I am surprised this video is decently is not complete garbage.
16:50 it's not really that easy. Alot of the culture of the parents of criminals is that you can let your kids go out and run around. If they do something wrong some parent or older person that is outside will tell the kids off if they do something wrong. The community parent kids together. In Sweden it's not the same. You do not go up to someone else's children. Also in warmer countries older people sit outside and drinking tea and so on. In Sweden it's to cold. So the kids are let outside, no one is watching them, they do bad stuff, no one tells them off, they get away with it, and there you have a spiral where the kids go down and gets worse and worse.
I call bullshit on most of the arguments lifted in this clip. There are no "seperate classes for immigrants" etc, there is however "native/mother tounge language classes" these are not mandatory but are something immigrants (regardless of origin, ie if you're from america you have the right to such classes as much as someone from an arabic country). It's pretty obvious that it's totally unreasonable to expect the swedish school system to afford dedicated classes for people of certain ethnicity or languages. However it's completely obvious that there are lots of immigration problems but blaming it on the socity and the govnerment, everyone who immigrated to Sweden has gone through the same system. Yet the outcome is completely different for certain ethnicities to others, it's interesting indeed.
I agree that it is partly difficult to define Swedish culture. I partly watch your videos because it makes me a little proud to be Swedish. Swedishness is unfortunately partly associated with a certain nationalism and other sensitive history. Sorry I accidentally took over the entire comment field.
Without nationalism nothing "is" Swedish. The very idea of denoting something as being "Swedish", "English", "French" or whatever, that is what nationalism means. No worse than that. Being proud over your heritage is *very* nationalist though...
"The government" does this or that is in my opinion a bit sweeping. I would rather say "political interest group". It is true that the current government is right wing, and tend to use immigrants as the root of our problems. And it is true they were voted into power. My personal view is that we are currently neglecting our young people, and our immigrant male youth especially. The statistics I have seen states that second generation young women are doing best of all groups in higher education, but the young men are lagging from start.
I also think, or maybe its a little wish, that what because of what they did to my people, the sami, where they force all of us to learn swedish and our language almost went extint, that maybe that wanted kids to have the opportunity to learn their heartlanguage as first language
I said wish since i wish they gave me that opportunity
Yes, many neighborhood Bobbies would be more effective.
You should react to Trap Lore Ross - Swedens Deadly Gang War, death patrol v shottaz
Good point on us non religous taking care of the so called believers.

I hope many will go home
Yes yes, if you take care to angle a story you can find evidence for most things.
If you instead look at available statistics, you can see, for example, that crime in Sweden has actually fallen in recent years. Not much, it must be admitted, but still.
The UK and Sweden differ by less than half a "crime index" unit with Sweden in fourth place and the UK in fifth place.
If you instead look at the homicide statistics in Europe, you can see that the most dangerous areas are southern France, southern Italy and the Baltic states. The world's happiest country, Finland, actually has more murders per capita than Sweden.
The fact that Sweden has a high number of rapes is probably not least due to the fact that we have the world's strictest legislation for what is considered to be rape.
So I'd say it's not at all as one-dimensional as this video makes it seem. We definitely currently have problems with integration, exclusion, and gang-related violent crime, but not nearly to the extent you'd think if you just listen to the plain old bigot propagandists/fact resistant nationalists/and the just xenophobic and racist extremists who've had the same message all my life (67 years). Only the target of their disgust has shifted. In the 1950s and sixties, it was Italians, Greeks and Turks who got called ”black-skulls”. After that there were the refugees from the Balkan wars and now most recently Arabs, people from Afghanistan and Mozambique / Eritrea.
Sigh 😔 😮💨
I've seen this video before.. There are so many inaccuracies in it.. the reporter isn't from Sweden and isn't Familiar with how Sweden is nowadays and its problems. First of all.. the 34 000:- is only a proposal.. The majority of immigrants in Sweden are family immigration or economic refugees. Not asylum seekers. So these are the ones to whom the return subsidy is directed to.. not actual refugees.
And well.. the criminal's don't wanna become doctors.. do they... 😅 They're gang members getting away with a tap on the wrist...
And isn't interesting, the fact that their neighbor countries didn't open their doors... 🤔 It's the same problem now with the war in Gaza... You don't see their neighbors welcoming them.. I wonder way... 🤔
You completely misunderstood what the police said.. they are thought Swedish in the same class room as everyone else.. but they do get offered lessons in their mother tongue. Separate from the other lessons...
But the immigrants gets more money that our eldery people gets in pension. And they have worked here all their life. I didnt see our eldery people sell drug because they are poor. So why sell drugs. Why dont swedish kids gets into drug selling so much when they get the same education and disipline in school? The schools have not a responsible to disipline the kids. Thats a parenting problem. Every immigrant are getting school classes to learn swedish. But I have notice that when you are going to tell an immigrant that they are doing wrong suddenly they cant speak a word swedish. Isnt that strange? Noo they are not taking our jobs och houses. But when they came we didnt have jobs we didnt have houses enought. But in my town the immigrants wasnt even happy to live in apartments. They demanded houses to live in. Beacause Swedes got houses. And they only get apartments. Can say it was people from somalia that demanded that. There is a youtube film about it. We are many that love our culture but the other lefties and socialists have made it hard to be proud of it because in their eyes its ugly. And if you say anything about it that in Sweden we are doing in this way you will be slaughtered by the lefties and socialists. You can loose you job and and work partners frezee you out. Not talking to you and so on. Its not okej to say that we have a swedish culture here.
Damn, Sweden, you school system is there to teach kids to become proper citizens. Swedish should be only language they are taught in. Ofc, first teach them Swedish if they don't know it yet.
Can't do that. That's totally racist.
I do think you got it right/understand.. its kinda same problem in many whealty european countrys.. integration!
The trouble with Sweden is, that we are and supose to be a middleclass country.. everyone supose to be middle class (lagom)!
Every f*king thing "almoste" is about a middle class living!
Then those women.. its all kind of oportunity for everyone to get axess of, if one tryes and and compete with others to get them!
A good sign is that women born in sweden of imigrantes.. 60% goes to University!
Its mayby not that impressive if one compare to women born of swedish parents.. its altso 60%.. its a women thing and have probably something to do with gender equality??
However.. there is altso a strong male cultur in sweden.. especialy in the countryside.. im gonna get a job at the local industry,, like my father, and get a high salary.. without freaking teoretical studys!
You can make it like you want.. its onlys this that global trade change.. its this that those manual jobs is now done in china!
Soo there is joke in sweden.. we do have the moste educated taxi/buss/tram/train-drivers!
Its probably first imigrantes.. if own a car in the country one come frome one have learned to drive cars.. if one alredy speak english.. as a second languege.. one is probably well educated in ones homeland?
Another rumor I here.. is that kids in Rinkeby learn Somali first.. even if the speak another language at home.. becuse Rinkeby supose to be a Somali village in Stockholm???
And I have talked to my friend frome UK.. yea we have the same problem.. earlyer and mayby worse.. so its not at news in UK anymore????
I was born in the late 80s and grew up in Sweden knowing that Swedes, regardless of skin color and origin, have been criminals. It is as you say that it is people who ended up in a lower class/position. In 2011, research showed that Y-names were overrepresented in our prisons. Typical Swedish names such as Conny, Ronny, Benny, Kenny etc. Which can be linked to the fact that y-names were popular in a social group with worse conditions. Such as the fact that the criminal has parents who belong to the working class and grew up in a socio-economically vulnerable area. The y-name theory is something I heard a little bit from time to time growing up. But nowadays, after the wave of refugees in 2015, the social debate is only about crime caused by immigrants. But immigrants who grew up in Sweden after 2015 have even worse conditions than the working class. Since 2015, racism has increased and now we have a policy that puts all the blame on immigrants. When it is Sweden, regardless of the government, that has failed with integration.
Hello i am 68 yers and have seen how Sweden has chance . So dont talk shit
u need to read the comments u missunderstood alot!
Almost all the shootings are between gangmembers. Its very rare that someone who is not/have not been in a gang gets shot. It does happen though and those cases are of course extremely tragic. Also; A very big majority of the shootings happen in suburbs that around 5% of the population lives in. (And these suburbs makes up around 0,02% of Swedens geographical area).
.
Its also important to remember that the rate of murder (per capita) is still higher in Finland than in Sweden. (Probably because Finland was a poor war torn country for large parts of the 1900’s which still affects the level of addiction and violence to some extent.) The rate of murder is ten times higher in Russia. And a couple of Latin American countries have 50-80 times higher murder rates.
.
Explosions have for some periods these latest years been at a high level though, that is true. And the situation is very serious but its still important to put some things in perspektive. Sweden is still in the top 25 or 30 list of the safest countries in the world for an ex. (Denmark is in top 5 and Norway and Finland in top 15 or 20.) Most areas are safe or very safe.
.
There has been some big misstakes made. There was a very liberal trend when it came to migration both on the left side and the right side of the political spectrum and problems with integration/migration and segregation were barely discussed. It was seen as uncivilized to talk about issues connected to migration as problems. This made way for a nationalist party, with neo-nazi roots, to become big. Today they’re the second biggest party and 20 years ago they were almost non-existent. (They call themselves social conservative nationalists these days). And most parties say that we need to have strict migration policies today.
The part of teaching swedish as a second language must be special cases, where I grew up we also was in the same class. No separation, feels strange otherwise. I didn't quite understand that part.
But yeah, the politics is a bit upside down in my opinion and yes we have more extrem party that have taken a lot of seat in the goverment, wisch of course complicate it more.
I like your thoughts on everything in this and the last one. It's a complex issue that needs a solution. And it's not doing over night. Thank you for seeing more than one side of it all.🙏
SD2026 is our only hope
We have a coalition government made up of right-wing ideological parties. The government consists of three parties that cooperate with one other party to be able to govern completely. The party they collaborate with is a nationalist party with Nazi roots. They claim to have gotten rid of their Nazi roots. But nowadays they call themselves "critical of Islam" and for example want to support Israel with more weapons against Gaza/Palestine. And they claim that there is a population exchange here in Sweden. So this party is the one driving proposals to pay people to move back. But the government's own investigators denied the proposal. Partly because it can have a negative effect on integration, based on the fact that people can feel unwelcome. But it seems that the government will still implement the proposal. My own thought is that it would be difficult for people to move back. Because several of our immigrant groups come from countries that are still affected, at the level where people can risk their lives if they go back.
The actual roots of that kind is at Socialdemokraterna. It was under them doctors sterilized "non worthy" individuals, made cruel experiments on retarded people, and measured skulls. At that time, Sweden inspired the national socialists in Germany with their race hygiene institute. Meanwhile, their collaborators (now as well as then), the party Centerpartiet (formerly Bondeförbundet), were openly supporting national socialists ideas.
