Thousands of Swedish workers are rallying behind 120 Tesla mechanics. The workers are boycotting Teslas until the company signs a contract. Even postal workers may stop delivering mail.

I usually think of us (swedes) as very progressive. In what way would you consider us conservative?
Like the other commenter assumed, I am talking about the rise of right wingers and xenophobia. Maybe I just read about it a lot and think it’s worse than it is. Seeing as this is also happening where I live, in Germany, I suppose it really isn’t that strong of an argument.
I do realize you are relatively progressive in a lot of areas like renewable energy, social services etc.
What are your favorite progressive aspects of Sweden?
I see the loud right winged racists as a result on how progressive we are. It’s basically a response to us taking in a lot of foreigners a few years ago. Progress is never a straight line.
Swedes are really welcoming to new solutions if they are logical and beneficial.
My experience in Sweden suggest those are a very few online loudmouths, not at all indicative of how a visually diverse group was treated there. In fact, one black American mentioned how awesome it was just to be, and have their skin not be an issue in any wsy.
Could be weed being illegal here, or the increase of xenophobia / right wingers, or both
