“Building explicitly on the work of Pascal Bruckner, a French critic of multiculturalism”
Pascal Bruckner has written some great books. ‘The tyranny of guilt ‘ about Western masochism and ‘Perpetual Euphoria’ about the modern duty to be happy are two of the best, most intellectually stimulating things I’ve read in the last 10 years.
So the Socialdemokraterna are starting to make anti-multiculti noises. Is that just a cynical ploy to win back white working class votes? Or are they going to copy their Danish social democrat counterparts in having a more restricted policy concerning immigration?
The violent crime is perpetrated by gangs operating in virtual no-go areas. How do Socialdemokraterna think they can transform the gang members into patriotic Swedes? After one lot of riots a few years ago, the then social democrat government responded by giving kids in the ghettoes free iPads. So they have tried kindness.

Fraser Nelson likes to point out that the UK and Sweden have opposite approaches to immigration. The UK makes a lot of fuss about trying to sstop them getting in, but lets them in anyway. The Swedish ellite has traditionally been very welcoming to immigrants, but once they are in Sweden, the immigrants realise just how little ordinary Swedes want them there. So they end up in high-welfare ghettoes on the outskirts of cities.

Not mentioned in the article is the Social Democrates and Lawen Redars’ plans of how to achieve these newfound goals of becoming swedish ”heart and soul”. According to Redar it will call for a not yet revealed major social engineering programme.
Stand by for your child being bussed to one of the many disadvantaged areas in Sweden to ”integrate” whether you (or they) like it or not. That’s a no-brainer. What other devillish plans there are to cover up for thirty years of uncontrolled immigration one can only dream of.
The same thing is happening in the Netherlands. At one school I taught, I officially reported cases of rampant sexism and bullying coming from a certain demographic of students, but only to discover that my reporting of it was seen as the greater problem.
Surely not victim blaming ? The Left’s been whining about that for years. But, just like the grooming gangs, looses all interest when the perpetrators aren’t from the ‘right demographic ‘ . See Khan’s ridiculous ‘Maaate ‘ anti-sexism campaign.
Indeed, there is a willful blindness to confront these issues head on or just even to at least acknowledge them.

Here in the US we are experts at integrating immigrants into the community.
Best strategy so far: fight a World War and draft all the male immigrants so that a whole generation of young men ends up as buddies.
Good article. Thanks!

You’ve set the hook. I’ll order it straightaway.
