Yeah, I guess. But I would personally argue that bottling up almost all emotions like they do here is not particularly healthy…
Hence the extremely high suicide rates. And the related fact that so many of them live alone, and die alone (there’s a documentary on this, the Swedish Theory of Love, and it is revealing)… And the alcoholism, and the domestic violence. It’s just not healthy, whatever moral superiority complex people here may claim…
It also results in extreme conformity and compliance, to the point where I could easily see how an authoritarian leader, of whatever political persuasion, could win here, and convince the population to do bad things, “for the greater good”…
They’re not very rebellious (anymore). They’re not particularly brave (men are so cowardly that they just… Don't even talk to women, here. So thus I stand out, and that’s despite my usually being piss-poor at that). The main objective seems to be “Don’t stand out. Don’t do anything flashy. I don’t matter and neither do you. And you should never think you’re special.”
I just… Don’t find all that particularly healthy. And neither has any foreigner I have met (or dated) while here.
I’m not sure how much of that translates to your family in Minnesota, though, and I certainly don’t mean any offence.
I’ve dated a number of Swedish girls. I obviously chose to move here. But I just… I see a lot of problems with the culture, post-1970s, here. And I think it’s important to point them out (just as I do with Aus), because no one here does that. And someone damn well needs to…
Oh I definitely agree it's unhealthy. I'm not trying to defend it, rather just to describe my impression of the culture. You'll see the same kind of tendencies here and how it is being exploited for regressive motives. We even have mirroring imports of Somalis.

Why are you talking about this like it hasn’t already happened? Are the feminists not authoritarian enough for you? Did their mass immigration, very much sold to us as “for the greater good”, not prove sufficiently “bad”?
