VICE made a pretty good material about no-go zones in Sweden and anti-racist groups that demolish your car, house, get you fired from job for liking wrong thing on Facebook.
>and anti-racist groups that demolish your car, house, get you fired from job for liking wrong thing on Facebook.
Yea. It's your prerogative to hold controversial opinions. But you certainly don't have any right to be publicly racist and expect no retaliation.
To clarify, I meant legal retaliation using legal means like firing the racist person from their job. Burning down their car is of course, illegal.

Seriously, demolishing someone's car/house is not worth mentioning in your comment, but have no right to be publicly racist? I also didn't say it was racist, where did you take this from?
Also, what's your address because I disagree and would like to put an axe on your front door.
Not sure about Sweden, but in my country being publicly racist[1] would be viewed as a crime[2]. I don't think anyone expects employers to continue employing active criminals.

>anti-racist groups ... get you fired from job for liking wrong thing on Facebook
Presumably, anti-racist group would take offense to people liking racist things on Facebook (otherwise, why describe them as anti-racist as opposed to anti-'whatever it is you like on Facebook that they have issues with')?
1 - defined as: "Who founds, supports or propagates a movement that provably aims to suppress freedoms and rights of man, or preaches racial, ethnic, national, religious or class hatred, or hatred against another group of people, will be punished by 1 to 5 years of prison."
2 - in reality you'd probably be sued for it only if you pissed off someone with the money/time to spend on the legal procedures
If your country is typical of the sort of Western nation with that kind of law, then "1 to 5 years of prison" is more than you'd get for rape. That's quite some fear of words.
Here in the USA, we mostly laugh at the actual hate groups. Your country has made them a forbidden fruit, all the more enticing. You also can't know people's true feelings... you might discover them abruptly someday, in a very bad way.
"That person said something I disagree with" doesn't imply that you have the right to demolish their property and their job.
