I got into death metal around ~2000. At that point I reached the incredibly named anus.com.* Y'all might laugh, but this was a super reactionary place at that point. I'll always remember the triggering moment for me: a simple question of whether culture determined race (social constructionism), or whether race determined culture. Just that possibility led me down a rabbit hole that never ceased. My nasty right-wing thoughts ever permeated, and after a touch of Sowell, I was done for.
*These days, some of the reviews on the old website are available at deathmetal.org.
--- a little drunk, so including some links:

Where did you live in Sweden? I spent over half a year there in Stockholm and had friends in other regions too. I loved Sweden and swedes but I saw a lot of issues. I saw men aimless and whipped, American style soyness. The women were running a lot of things. Tons of immigrants. Housing crisis. Arabs and Muslims ran a lot of stuff too.
Stockholm. One of those neighbourhoods out in Botkyrka everyone knows are no go now, but you can't say it.
We have had cars set on fire by Arab youth gangs under our living room window and such. It was.... fun?
Interesting. I never went out there. I lived in söder in a nice area on the west side of the island. Going to the downtown core or norrmalm was enough for me. The niqabs and Somalians everywhere. The south near Malmö was the worst tho. Sketchy Arabs everywhere.
After we moved away, my friend sent me some notification email from the Swedish police telling people which places are sketchy AF. Our old home was one. :D
Malmö is a meme, with Arabs throwing grenades through windows.
I was outside Malmö visiting friends and it was Arab invasion. Arabs running stores. Arabs stealing cars. Arabs selling stolen shit. Arabs stealing crap. Arabs sitting around drinking and smoking and harassing people. I can only imagine how shitty the core of these neighborhoods are. My Swedish friends generally didn't like the immigrants either.
