What's going on in Sweden is a fucking disaster, and yet it is ignored and whitewashed by the media and a vast quantity of people. If you tell the truth about Sweden, the horribleness going on in Sweden does not get covered. But if you tell a teeny tiny lie then it does.
All the coverage I've seen has been everyone, even non-swedes, coming out with a collective "Sweden last night, huh?". There have been incidents in some suburbs in Sweden recently, where police have been attacked or unable to control protests, which is of course worrying but I wouldn't call it an outright disaster or a failed policy. There's also been a lot of talk about their rape rates, but those went up when they changed the laws regarding sexual assault some years back. It didn't start with immigration, they just have much more strict laws regarding it than most countries.
