Sverige elects its next parliament on Sunday.
The last election put the far-right party—founded by actual neo-Nazis in 1988!—Sverigedemokraterna (SD) into power for the first time when the center-right parties broke a promise to a Holocaust survivor to never work with SD.
@highvoltage I must remain a macro-optimist. My hope is that sharing my story and some dank ass memes as the youth say will help sway an election.
The last 4 years have been emotional hell for me and immigrant friends in Sverige.
The right-wing "Tidö party" coalition restricted immigration. Academics, entrepreneurs, children of immigrants, a famous drag queen, queers from bad countries have been deported/forced to leave.
I will vote in Sverige’s national election for the first time as a new citizen on Sunday.
I love this country. I want to live and build the future from here. I bought a home and incorporated my company here.
Sverige leads the world in many ways and leaders can always do better.
Hate has no place in the future.
The “paradox of tolerance” states that a tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance to prevent undermining its own values.
SD can only do bad things in Riksdagen (parliament) if M, L, and KD (center-right parties) work with (tolerate) them.
I know many good Svenskar who have voted for center-right parties their whole lives.
But voting for M, L, KD in 2026 puts SD in power instead of relegating its hate to the fringe.
@Jeremiah Välkommen, granne!
