Comment on Despair in Sweden as gangs recruit kids as contract killers

We can make an effort to acknowledge and address it or you can hide behind “racism” and then have an election like the US has had where the racists offered solutions to problems that the left was slow to address.

My man, keep making the same mistakes for cheap LOLs and social media cred. Nothing like ignoring the concerns of the populace until it is too late!

I’m not sure Lemmy has social media cred.

I’m not living in any Nordic country so I can’t speak for those, but this “migrants cause crime” argument exists in any developed country. There are a lot of articles debunking the claims. I like John Oliver’s debunking since it’s pretty easy to understand: youtu.be/axsgzg3RyF0
When any deep analysis is conducted, the arguments from racists simply don’t hold water. They offer simple, racist, and hateful explanations to very complex problems.

Which is easy for the general population to understand and get behind when they are looking for solutions to problems affecting their society.
Ignore their concerns at your own peril.

Are you saying that despite the fact the argument is based in racism rather than reality, we should act as if it was real, because people believe it?

Nothing stated by OP was non-factual. Including the last bit. In other news, Trump just won the Presidency, again. Based on:
Yet liberals ignored their concerns… Did I mention Trump was elected again?
I’m sorry, is this all making you uncomfortable?
