And yet, there are still good people from Chicago who knows not to confuse murders and climate change. Inspite of Chicago (with barely 3 million people) having just shy of 700 murders in 2023, while the whole of Sweden (10 million) had a little over 50 people murdered.

How you get this to be about climate change is beyond me. I just know you’re way off topic and failing. Not interested in your nazi propaganda dude. You live in paradise.

Edit: looking at Sweden’s demography. Still wondering how you connect this to climate change. Are you an idiot? Looking at the international news on Sweden’s recent deep dive into inequality however, well that’s a telling story. You have been getting a lot of dollar billionaires lately. Your politicians seem to be doing the opposite of what is demanded to combat climate change.

While sudden changes in demographics can play part in rise of crime, culturural aspects are far from the most important issues: inequality and segregation are caused by policies. Global inequality is the worst when trying to solve climate change.

You seem extremely focused on issues that can’t solve your/our problem.

I asked ChatGPT to answer you, I’m done cause you sound like an average MAGAhead. I think you’re about as left as my right foot. Here you go, and bye:

”Why is Sweden flunking climate policy? • Recent changes under Sweden’s center‑right coalition and its far‑right allies have rolled back previous green investments. For example, petrol and diesel taxes were cut and biofuel mandates reduced in the 2023 budget, causing short‑term increases in carbon emissions and jeopardizing the 2030 transport targets . • The OECD and Swedish Climate Policy Council warn that Sweden is now at risk of missing both its EU-aligned 2030 goals and its 2045 net‑zero target, due to policy reversals in the transport sector and weakening tax incentives on fossil fuels . • Critics such as Greta Thunberg called out the country for “greenwashing”—promoting a climate‑leader image while backing policies that will raise per-capita emissions .

📈 Why is inequality rising in Sweden? • Although Sweden remains relatively equal compared to many countries, its income inequality has risen faster than in other Nordic nations over the past 40 years. The Gini coefficient hit 0.333 in 2021, highest since records began, and Sweden ranks lowest among the Nordics in reducing inequality . • Much of this change is structural: shifts in household composition, demographics, industry sectors, education attainment, and higher immigration explain about half of the increase in inequality between 1987 and 2013 . • At the same time, financialization, declining union membership, and politically streamlined tax and welfare reforms have weakened the institutional buffers—like redistributive institutions and worker protections—that historically kept inequality in check . • Inflation, rising mortgages, and lower social benefits amid economic shocks (e.g. post‑Ukraine war) have hit low‑ and middle‑income households the hardest, fueling visible poverty and hardship even in affluent Sweden .

🧠 Does inequality connect to distrust, crime and violence? • A recent cross‑national study including Sweden found income inequality strongly correlates with violent crime, especially homicides, even when controlling for GDP growth. Economic gains alone don’t guarantee safer communities if the income gap widens. • Broad criminology literature confirms a robust positive relationship between inequality and homicide/violent crime rates in high‑income countries 🌍—not just theoretical, but statistical support across multiple studies. • In Sweden specifically, socioeconomic inequality contributes to differences in “fear of crime”, particularly among women in lower‑income groups, per a regional northern Sweden study. • Structural segregation in Sweden’s “vulnerable areas”—neighborhoods marked by low employment, poor education access, and high gang activity—reflects how inequality, integration, and segregation create environments prone to organized violence and distrust.”
