A reality-based discussion of Sweden's immigration experience:
Extinguishing Donald Trump’s Swedish Immigration 'Fire'.
I would say,
ad argumentum, my friend. What I am objecting to its the sweeping generalizations and misdirection included in your statements. Like Trump, the technique is to overwhelm with baseless assertions, thus shutting down opposition. For example, please provide a link to your sources for crime statistics by ethnicity. Please identify any instance where someone asserted that Sweden has no problems, as you allege.
You describe yourself as a "classic liberal" - which runs contrary to the views you have expressed here. I have found, and that is borne out here, that when one self-identifies as a "classic liberal" that is to avoid being perceived as a "libertarian-conservative". I've read Mill, and I know he was a member of the "Liberal" party of his day, but his views are far from what the modern usage of "liberal" implies. I describe that as misdirection.
I seek, as I always do, to direct the conversation to observable facts, and avoid hyperbole and vacuous claims or misdirection. I was intending simply to apply that matrix to this discussion. If I overstepped, I apologize, but maybe, too, it is like Trump supporters "adopting" the deplorable label...
BTW, do you have a response to the
substance of anything in my post?
