Yes, Shaun, I have read that. And no, this is not a "left/right" issue in our country, as hard as the left tries to paint it as such, and as much as the feeble minded would dearly love to swallow their propaganda and believe it is. It's easy (although entirely inaccurate) to simply dismiss contrary points of view as some radical "alt-Right/borderline Q/full-on inculcated Q" nonsense when you are incapable of understanding any of it, but that is not what is going on here.

It's really very simple. No one is saying Sweden is any kind of a roaring success. Quite the contrary - we are saying their results are about the same as many other countries', better than some, worse than others. We have all been pretty clear on that.

The only thing that makes their results "remarkable" in any way is the fact that they were not an absolute disaster, they were not an order of magnitude worse than comparable countries. The fear mongers assured us they would be, and we would be as well, if we were foolish enough to follow their example.

From the article linked above:

The reality of Sweden’s policy choices is that they didn’t yield the nirvana the cheerleaders claim nor the catastrophic disaster that the country’s fiercest critics predicted.

None of us here are "cheerleaders" who are claiming they achieved "nirvana". We are, however, pointing out that the "catastrophic disaster" did not materialize. That's all. And the likelihood that the "catastrophic disaster" would not have materialized here either, had we followed their example.

There is really no more to it than that.
