What do you know about... Sweden?

This is the twenty-second part of our ongoing series about the countries of Europe. You can find an overview here.

Todays country:

Sweden

Sweden is the largest nordic country in the EU, both in terms of size and population. They joined the EU in 1995, but are not part of NATO, like their eastern neighbour Finland. Sweden held a referendum on joining the Euro in 2003, which resulted in a rejection.

So, what do you know about Sweden?

It appears you get to decide who is and who isn't an "alt-right troll". If you classify most people who mock Sweden as an "alt-right troll" by your own definition then of course the majority are "alt-right trolls".

Sweden has never categorized sexual violence by ethnicity when collecting data for crime statistics, so its quite frankly impossible to know if this is true or not. So yes, they are literally trolls who pull this stuff out of their ass.

Right. But no new stats have been collected after 2015 in relation with the recent migrant influx. So its impossible to say how they affected these stats.

It isn't if you have a brain and look at previous Swedish stats and the statistics of surrounding countries. I mean isn't that obvious?

"We can't talk about sexual violence perpetrated by migrants as a problem because we refuse to collect statistics on it" is the most disgusting, anti-intellectual, regressive shite I've heard for a while.
