  1. That's not even the most crucial aspect. The scale of immigrants means that integration is impossible. You cannot integrate that many people. No society can, period. Yes, it is magnified when the immigrants have a shared ethnic background, shared cultural background, and shared religious background, which effectively none of them want to abandon. They aren't coming to Sweden or any other country to become Swedes, and, guess what, they can't do it even if they wanted to, because we are the product of our upbringing and environments, we aren't just indistinguishable biomass that you can plop down in another place and adjust and convert to another way of of life. It's not a failing or ill of the immigrants part, expecting them to magically integrate is utopian delusion not grounded in any reality, it is denying NATURE. The ones to blame for all this are Swedes themselves, specifically elites in politics and media and their useful idiots who clap like seals at their delusional policies which sound nice and fluffy.

  2. ​ @RKIC  You are missing the point. It would never be possible to integrate that many people into any society, ever, no matter the material conditions. You cannot have such an ethnic and cultural displacement. If Sweden had suddenly 20% English population it would be easier because the clash of cultures isn't so great, but the fact is, it would still permanently change what Sweden and what it means to be a Swede. This is fundamental and inescapable. At those numbers why would any English need to put in the required steps to integrate? Furthermore, there are actually hard limits to how much human beings can change, we aren't just malleable and hot-swappable biomass components for use by a liberal economy.

  3. ​ @georgestamatakis697  That is such a utopian delusion and motive. Fundamentally you are describing a fiction.
