Like Rome the West is creating its own demise.

In the country that welcomed everyone indiscriminately, from Pakistan as from Syria, from Nigeria as from Somalia, no one feels safe.

“It is getting worse and worse in terms of violent crime, it worries people," Torsten Elofsson, the former Malmö police chief candidate with the center-right Christian Democrats, says to Financial Times. Once there were only Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. Now you see it in small towns. It's getting closer and closer to where most people live. Swedes who want their families to be safe are running out of places to hide and move, unless they decide to leave Sweden behind, like some are already doing. They have had enough of living in a once ideal country that recorded 342 shootings in a year - almost one a day.

Over the past decade, Sweden has gone from one of the lowest per capita fatal shooting rates in Europe to the highest, according to data from the Swedish National Crime Prevention Council. Sweden is on track this year to break a record of deadly shootings with a total of 44 deaths by mid-August, not far from a peak of 47 in 2020. In the country that has welcomed everyone indiscriminately, from Pakistan as from Syria, from Nigeria as from Somalia, no one feels safe anymore.

The Stockholm suburb of Tensta has had free parking for months after the area was deemed too dangerous to enter.

The postal service did not deliver parcels to a neighborhood in central Malmö for periods of time.

Several public libraries have had to reduce their opening hours or even temporarily close in response to harassment by gangs of young people.

In a neighborhood in Gothenburg, kindergarten and kindergarten children took to the streets with their teachers to protest gang violence after a dozen shootings in the area in just a few months, including one in the kindergarten yard.

When the children come to kindergarten, the parents ask teachers to to keep them inside.

Criminologist Manne Gerell of Malmö University provided the newspaper Aftenposten with a list of possible causes why one of Europe's safest countries has become the most dangerous: increase in the number of criminal gangs, the failed integration of immigrants and the multicultural housing projects of the 1960s and 1970s.

In practice, it is the questioning of 50 years of migration policy.

Sweden is an edifying example of the transformation of the population of a European country. According to data from the Swedish Statistical Institute, the Swedish population in the 1950s was made up of 7 million inhabitants, of whom 197,000 were born abroad. As the population reached 10 million in 2017, the number of foreign-born residents in Sweden has increased tenfold to 1.8 million. The two-generation foreign population has increased from 20 percent of the total population in 2002 to 30 percent in 2017.

While the indigenous population declined over the period of 94,000, the foreign population increased by 1.1 million. Lower borders and generous admission criteria have contributed to the explosion in the number of asylum applicants. The result is that the foreign population in cities with more than 200,000 inhabitants reaches 44 percent.

Islam has become the second largest religion in the country (the first if we consider church and mosque attendance).

In Sweden as elsewhere, the population has never been consulted on the transformation taking place in the country. 1.2 million of those eligible to vote in the upcoming elections were not born in Sweden and it is 200,000 foreigners more than in the previous elections in 2018. One in four voters between the ages of 18 and 21 was born abroad or has two parents born abroad. In central Malmö, one in two people who can vote for the first time is of foreign origin.

It is always the same problem of identity. Once Christianity, which is the only glue of European societies, disappears (and Sweden is today the most atheistic country in the West), the ruling classes do not care whether the culture of a country is replaced, they no longer believe in it. On the contrary they often believe that it deserves to be eliminated. Only the economic data or humanitarian seduction counts, which as Pierre Manent explains in Le Figaro is a new religion. The borders are then not only wide open, but encouraged to be crossed. At that point the Jews usually leave, as has been the case in Sweden for years.

Thus, within a few years, society collapses. Once past this Rubicon, turning back is impossible.

Now all that is needed is mass migration of peasants from Bangladesh, China, India, and Sri Lanka into Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands.

Diversity Is Not Our Strength — And The Lie Is Deliberate

The Swedes are pushing back. An anti-immigration conservative coalition took control of the Swedish parliament in the elections this week, ousting the left wing Prime Minister and dethroning the left wingers that have dominated parliament. The furthest right party in Sweden, the Sweden Democrats, has gone from being a small minority to being the 2nd largest holder of parliamentary seats in just the last few years.

Right-wing bloc wins narrow majority in Swedish parliament

A right-wing bloc that includes a nationalist anti-immigration party won a narrow majority in Sweden’s parliament Wednesday. It was a major political shift in the Scandinavian country that had a decades-long history of welcoming refugees, but is grappling with a crime wave linked with immigration.

Center-left Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson conceded defeat with 99.9% of the vote from the weekend elections counted Wednesday. She said she would step down Thursday.

Populist Sweden Democrats leader Jimmie Akesson declared victory for the four-party bloc. He said his party would be “a constructive and driving force” in the work of rebuilding safety in Sweden. He said it was “time to put Sweden first.”

The bloc that includes the Sweden Democrats — the country’s second-largest party — won a thin majority in parliament. Though a few votes were outstanding they were not enough to sway the final outcome.

Prime Minister Andersson said that “the preliminary result is clear enough to draw a conclusion” that her center-left forces had lost power.

Andersson became Sweden’s first female prime minister last year and led the country in its historic bid to join NATO following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

While Andersson is personally popular, anxiety in Sweden has grown over high crime rates in segregated districts that are home to large numbers of immigrants who have failed to integrate into Swedish society. Some blamed her Social Democrats, who have been in power for eight years.

Ulf Kristersson, the leader of Sweden’s third largest party, the Moderates, who’s considered to be the leading figure in the right-wing bloc and a possible prime minister, thanked voters for their trust. “Now we will get Sweden in order,” he wrote on Facebook.

“The Moderates and the other parties on my side have received the mandate for the change that we asked for. I am now starting the work of forming a new, effective government,” Kristersson said.

The Sweden Democrats were long shunned by Swedes because the party was founded in the 1980s by neo-Nazis and other far-right extremists. In recent years it has moved into the mainstream by expelling extremists, and gained support with a tough stance on crime and immigration amid a rise in shootings and other gang violence.

Its transformation was led by 43-year-old Akesson, who in his speech Wednesday evening said it was time for a new chapter in Sweden.

“Now it will be enough with the failed Social Democratic policy that for eight years has continued to lead the country in the wrong direction,” Akesson said. “It is time to start rebuilding security, welfare and cohesion. It is time to put Sweden first. The Sweden Democrats will be a constructive and driving force in this work.”

“Now the work begins to make Sweden good again,” he said.

The tally gave the right-wing bloc 176 seats in the 349-parliament, the Riksdag, and Andersson’s center-left bloc with 173 seats. A majority in Sweden requires 175 seats.

“The four right-wing parties appear to have received just under 50% of the votes in the election, and in the Riksdag, they have gained one or two mandates. A thin majority, but it is a majority,” Andersson said.

“Tomorrow I will therefore request my dismissal as Prime Minister and the responsibility for the continued process will now pass to the Parliament Speaker and the Riksdag.”

That's a good step. The problem is (like here) that you can't undo immigration, once they're here and reproducing at multiple times the rate of the host country it's only a matter of time.

Ohhh there are ways. They would not be in ideological adherence to modern European liberalism but there are certainly measures that could be taken. If the native population begins to view the immigrants as an existential threat to their survival, they may go into cornered animal mode.

I read similar things about France, Germany and Spain.

When I visited Poland a few weeks back, Krakow and Warsaw there were no visible signs of these problems

When they took in about 2 million Ukrainians they were all placed with Polish families. I recall when the Afcrapistan, Syria thing was going on, the UN wanted them to take a shitload of immigrants. Uhhh, we'll take a few

The Brits have been doing the same to their country. London is now majority non-white. Read Douglas Murray’s book “The Strange Death of Europe.” It’s Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, Latin American for the Latin Americans, America and Europe for all.
