How Mass Migration Destroyed Sweden’s Scandinavian Utopia
The Federalist ^ | January 16, 2026 | Auguste Meyrat

Posted on 01/20/2026 10:33:32 PM PST by MinorityRepublican

Not so long ago, Sweden used to be leftists’ favorite example of effective government: It had a generous welfare system, boasted a highly educated population, and just seemed a little classier and cleaner than most parts of the United States. True, it then had a small, homogenous population of law-abiding, productive citizens, but most admirers conveniently ignored this key detail.

In more recent years, far fewer people mention Sweden. If anyone mentions the country, it is usually to cite their soaring crime rates and terrorist attacks and the obvious connection with Sweden’s large number of unassimilated migrants from the Third World. Not only does this situation now threaten the livelihood for native Swedes, but also their reputable public entitlement system.

Indeed, as Swedish sociologist and writer Karl-Olov Arnstberg explains in his new book The Sweden Syndrome: How Elites Commit National Self-Destruction, the leadership in his country aggressively flushed away their many advantages by pursuing every bad leftist idea possible. What was once the pride of North European socialist technocracy is now being ruined with incompetent and corrupt politicians, a broken justice system, and a growing contingent of barbaric foreigners burdening their host nation in countless ways.

The book begins with a foreword from the online essayist John Carter, who recalls seeing a group of Arab young men harassing white Swedish girls on a bus in Uppsala. Because of the prevailing social norms of their country, both the girls and white male bystanders simply took the abuse in silence. He follows this by describing the familiar blight and decay that one now sees all around Swedish cities and the quiet exasperation of native Swedes lamenting what has become of their country.

“What was once the pride of North European socialist technocracy is now being ruined with incompetent and corrupt politicians,”

I keep hearing this ignorant line. What has happened there, in the EU, in the UK and in the USA is not incompetence, o someone taking a bribe. It is a deliberate anti-white and anti Christian ethnic cleansing.

The great replacement is deliberate and designed to fill formerly white majority nations with a pliable and ignorant third world underclass.

According to my Grok query, there were 317 IED explosions and bombing attacks in Sweden in 2024. And there were 279 bombing attacks in 2025, but that only includes data up to August 2025.

And it largely coincides with the rise of women into political power.

When migrations of “killer bees” threaten our peaceful populations of honey bees, it’s OK to see it as a very bad thing -.and even take measures to stop it.

Yet, when the same thing happens with human beings - where mass migration of a violent strain of humans threatens peaceful populations - it’s not OK to view it as a bad thing. It’s “racism” - it’s “xenophobia”.

We are so screwed.

Obviously, there's a good reason why our ancestors did not allow women to vote. They knew human nature.

So now we are learning the hard way.

A good friend from college came from a wonderful Norwegian family. Her dad made a lot of $$$ and her mom was large but good looking. always decked out in furs. They reminded me eery time they saw me:

“Ten thousand Swedes
Came through the weeds,
Chased by one Norwegian.”

Looks like the Muzzies are chasing everyone now. Those Scandinavians better get their acts together while they still have countries.

Hard to feel sorry for people who willingly gave everything good away to appease barbarians.

Minnesotans used to be mostly boring monocultural Scandinavians. So it’s interesting that the Scandinavians in Minnesota are doing the same thing to that state as the Scandinavians Swedes are doing to once boring Sweden.

They both wanted the effervescence of multiculturalism in their boring lives.

I bet they now wish they could go back to their formally boring life. Sadly it may be too late.

Liberal women in politics from NZ to UK to Europe are a dread lot. Pure evil.
Conserative women politicials are less homogeneous but the pretenders like Murkowski follow in the liberal mold.

Back a few years ago the Norwegian foreign minister made an astonishing statement

He was asked by a media reporter question about the seemingly preferential and deferential treatment given to the Muslim migrants who were acting up and stirring up trouble in Norway

He answered , “ we have to be nice to them so they will be nice to us once they are in the minority “

He didn't elaborate on how or why third world lslamic men from the Middle East , Afghanistan and Africa could or should be able to become a majority in Norway

Serves Sweden right for its long, shameful history of Chattel Slavery, and later, Jim Crow and Segregation!

Sweden's participation in the North Atlantic Slave Trade deserves special mention. And last, but not least, its establishment of vast colonies in Africa, pillaging the continent's resources, can never be forgiven!

Everyone knows that most of the problems currently plaguing the continent of Africa - corruption, dictatorships, civil unrest - are attributable to the after-effects of Sweden's long and lamentable colonial history!

“He recounts several instances of Swedish youths being beaten, raped, and emotionally traumatized simply for the color of their skin, while their (MUSLIM) attackers are continually given a free pass to continue their rampage even after they gloat about it.”

No longer true. Sweden addressed their migrant problem in 2023 by identifying the cause, which, of course, was PUTIN, and then solved the problem by, of course, joining NATO.

Now, everything is, again, LaLa Land in Sweden.

Peter Schweizer's newest book, released on January 20, 2026, is titled The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon.

From AI:

It discusses topics like "weaponized immigration," alleged influence efforts by foreign powers (including Mexico and China), and related national security concerns. It's described as his latest investigative work following books like Blood Money (2024). The book advances a provocative central thesis: mass immigration into the United States is not primarily a humanitarian or economic issue but has been deliberately weaponized as a political tool to undermine American sovereignty, national security, and democratic institutions.

We should be wary of the suicidal policy of alienating half a billion people in Europe, who live in free-market economies, under the rule of law, cherishing a firm tradition of democracy and a growing determination and unity to oppose tyranny, by citing some selected facts in their world that we conveniently overlook in our own.

If our test of abiding with allies requires them to be perfect, we will ultimately succumb to the Chinese naked and very much alone.
