Swede here, alot of our empathic and socialist values have gone downhill for many years but especially the last few years have seen a big rise to the right wing extremist party. I think most people here will find this cruel. “This is not the people we wanted to throw out! It was only The muslims, arabs, jews, colored people, unemployed…” etc etc etc.
Some of the new laws that has been passed with the right wing partiets have been incredibly stupid and enabled shit like this. My favorite is that its now illegal to insult law enforcement. There’s this old rhyme we taught kids “polis polis potatisgris” (“police police potato-pig”) which with current jurisdiction would be illegal.
So yeah, Sweden is doing great and is absolutely not turning in to yet another unempathic capitalistic americanized shithole. People keep buying the lies and turn against the less fortunate of society instead of actually seeing the problem.
