Continuing Reinfeldts immigration policies so that a bunch of private and privatized industries can use them to print money/wage dumb with cheap labor, all while not spending enough money/effort on actually integration efforts leads to formation of ghettos and segregated communities, which nobody benefits from, besides those that want cheap labor and criminal gangs (but I repeat myself.)

I'm thinking that maybe spending enough on integration efforts to be proportionate with our immigration numbers would be beneficial to our society in the long run, but nobody in power has any incentive to actuality do any of that.

Or...I'm sorry. Was I supposed to say "the brown r bad"?

I asked you to clarify your position - you’re supposed to use whatever words you deem fit to accomplish that.

What you are describing doesn't seem to be an immigration problem as much as it is a problem with lack of social services and what you are suggesting isn't doing something "against" the "immigration problem" but rather increasing support for immigrant communities. I think I better understand your position now. Good job!

i'd like to see a somewhat sober analysis of why that can't just be undone, actually. as far as i understand it hardly anyone actually likes that policy or thinks it's functional, so i assume it's something to do with the cost of recompensing all the school entrepreneurs who've made viable business models out of helping parents be racist

It's like most people think it's bad, but if you try and revoke it, wait what if MY KID gets sent to a school with immigrants in it???? And it's suddenly uh oh we can't do this. I mean it sucks, but we have to have the choice, FOR OUR KIDS!

the insider trading scandal rolling through norwegian public discourse these days is likewise demonstrating a surprising level of wilingness from some quarters to outright defend obvious malfeasance. as it turns out, the husband of the prime minister from 2013-2021 lost value relative to a standard fund-savings approach, but only because he invested on Oslo Børs and the NOK has completely cratered. had the NOK remained at 2013 levels, he would've outperformed the market by a fair margin. there is clearly something dodgy here, but we have people lining up to say "oh it's unreasonable to expect people sharing a household economy with ministers to avoid active trading of stocks and options" like it's a normal thing. it's absurd.

I remember the older teachers in my Danish as a second language days talking about immigration being hosed from at least the moment we began using fremmedarbejdere. Obviously, these people were not giant racists (teaching immigrants Danish is a pretty bad career for a racist). Instead, their point was that negative effort was put into integration at that time, which gave us a sizeable population of people who didn't know how anything worked or speak the language, and concentrated in isolated communities too. And from there, it's basically just snowballed, and at least since the 90s, the answer has been to punish the immigrants for the systemic failure and also not do anything meaningful to actually help these people join the society at large.

Also (at least in Norway with Vinmonopolet, I presume same is true in Sweden) it results in a chain of spesialist stores with a wide selection and a good chance of knowledgeable staff.

up until around the nineties the official policy minority-political position here was that the state was supposed to be a value-neutral provider of services - to some extent this remains the case. this means that you can try to deal only with formal questions, which can be relatively clearly answered based on doctrinal interpretation of existing law.

unfortunately, it means that the official position is also that e.g. no language has a superior role to any other (notably "progressive" in the case of nynorsk/bokmål/various sami languages), meaning no mandatory language or social education for recent arrivals etc. it led to a very laissez-faire attitude towards integration, as that was assumed to be something that would happen more or less on its own and the state action that might encourage it was seen as deeply chauvinistic and probably motivated by racism since it was most vocally fronted by guys like anders lange, mogens glistrup and carl i. hagen and couched in explicitly national-chauvinist terms

it took some serious scares for the social-democrats for them to pivot on the issue, doing right-wing-populism-lite in their minority policy but often pushing hard for "integration" along a leitkultur-style model

Your post reminds me of the time I took a 7,5 hp course in Norwegian run by a nynorsk enthusiast from Fuckelfjord or something, who insisted on strict 50-50 Bokmål-Nynorsk content. He left the following semester, but those 7,5 hp kept me from getting deported from Sweden so fine I guess.
