#i will never forgive our government who wreak havoc and blame it on refugees

[shararan]

Sweden is all for Palestine until it's actually about doing something. Fucking cowardly nation hasn't changed since WW2, propping ourselves up as particularly enlightened by being ""neutral"" when that's just not admitting the actual stance we take as a nation. Easy to preach about peace and putting aside our differences when not having to face the consequenses of the lack of said peace, all while profiting from our weapons export and playing a major role in upholding the global status quo.

Kräket Kristersson can whine all day about "fighting antisemitism" but if he and his gooneys cared even the tiniest bit about such then it's curious how non existent the care for swedish jews is. But what is the othering of one minority group when the oppression of our many minorities is a century long tradition amirite?!

It's literally just wanting a piece of the colonial cake in the region, all while islamophobia AND antisemitism both have brewed non stop for years. The government approved public quran and torah burnings in the same time period, going against the supposed laws and regulations they fervently claimed allowed it.

Not only does the state now debate whether or not Sweden should withdraw our recognition of Palestine's statehood, we can't even grow enough of a spine and instead abstain in the vote for ceasefire.

Never in a thousand years fall for the self infantilizing marketing scheme Sweden has painted up for itself. This is no socialist paradise, and the heroic deeds the nation prides itself on were done by individuals who went against the machine of uncaring indifference. Never forget how far our capitalism reach all over the world while acting like the consequences is somehow just an unfortunate coincidence ("not as bad as USA"), and never forget that our 200 year long freedom from war and conflict is only because we sacrificed others around us.

It's not unexpected for Sweden to pretend Palestine cannot be saved and that it's too complicated to take a stand after our part in WW2, but you'd hope that the self righteous and conscious ignorance act would get fucking old to people at some point.
