@TheOtherView Continuation of recent comment: So obtain knowledge before you write.
In the same regard I can't be mad at you; as you're only saying what the U.S media (especially Fox "News" in mind) wants you to say. And I just now realized that you prized US for not having a class system when in fact you have extreme economical clashes and are bordering on fascism. Ex-convicts are not allowed to vote, you make it harder and harder for poor people to vote, is it that the ideal democracy?

@TheOtherView Everyone does not have a chance to become whatever they want to be in the sense that people are born poor/people that are broken down, disadvantaged in ANY KIND OF WAY - they are not given help in USA, it's their own fault, you'd say: how is it? They are given a chance in Sweden. In USA it's every man for himself. International studies show that Sweden is the most democratic country, equal (class/gender) countries and much more.

@TheOtherView Of course the U.S is more diverse than Sweden, come on. You barely have natives. You're the most diverse country in the world, for the most obvious reasons ever. I don't even know why you brought that up. You had the most slaves to begin with. Your country isn't founded by Americans, but Europeans. I mean come on. Everyone wanted to live in America in the early days.
We've let in immigrants into our country since the very day the first one came here.

I don't know what you have against Sweden, honestly. We're a peaceful people, we're completely neutral and we have a strong and close friendship and cooperation with America. We're the 4th biggest donor of aid to 3rd world countries, and we're a people of only 9 mill. We've done a lot for the world, whether it's inventions or aid or what not.
We're letting in a lot of immigrants, more than most countries, and we're not xenophobes.

@TheOtherView It's obvious that you don't know shit about Sweden. I suggest you keep reading that wikipedia article you're reading. Perhaps you'll find out how Sweden's more free than America. I've lived in America, that's the difference between you and I - you haven't lived in Sweden. You don't know what it's like here.

@TheOtherView I'm not talking about Europe. Sweden has no "class system". The freedom of speech in Sweden is just as protected, if not even better than in America. Xenophobes, really? Lmao. Had we been xenophobes, there'd be 100% ethnic Swedes. We're letting in more Iraqis than any other country, one of our cities are considered the second most Iraqi populated city in the world, after Bagdad. That city alone ("Södertälje" a.k.a Little Iraq) takes in as many Iraqis as all of USA.

"unlike America. "..."everyone has a chance to become whatever they want to be." Huh? Do you know the background of the current president of the United States? The US has no class system unlike much of Europe, and freedom of speech is protected like no other country. Yes, it's not perfect but I'm not sure what you're saying. BTW the U.S. is more diverse than Sweden is it not? Ethnic Swedes make up a staggering 85% of your country. You guys are a bunch of Xenophobes.
-
@TheOtherView Well, unlike America. Sweden is actually free, and everyone has a chance to become whatever they want to be. It doesn't matter where you're from or what you look like, you can live on the street without a penny in the pocket and still be able to go to our finest schools and colleges (School/colleges are free). We're at the very top when it comes to gender equality, health care is absolutely free for anyone, ETC*. Just Google "which countries set the best examples".

What's the reason?

Sweden's political policy is THE best in the world.

You think Swedes are manipulated? Ask an American what they're proud of and their answer will be a long list of multinational corporations. It is an artificial pride and if any, Americans are brainwashed to think a certain way. It is a society of us vs them with little religious and political freedom.
It is debatable whether Sweden is a Socialist state as it is built by Social Democrats and acknowledges the need for capitalism with high taxes to redistribute wealth. It is a great system.
