fwiw a bigger fraction of people who live in Sweden were born outside the country than in the US

So does Australia: 28% to the US 27%. I've also lived in SF before, and most of the junkies and crazy people had US accents. I really doubt it's international immigration that's the problem there.

Thats not a good argument when you take the fact that Sweden has the same population as Michigan.

fwiw more swedish people live in the US than in Sweden.

what is your point, are you trying to argue for this statement of the parent, the reason why Sweden was even brought up?

> everyone looks acts and believes all the same things in all the same ways

then you are not making a good argument because clearly not everyone in Sweden looks and acts the same, considering the fraction of its population who came from overseas.

i shouldn't have called out a specific country. So sweden has a population of 10 million to USAs 330.

I'm just getting at the idea that by design, USA seems to want to deal with all of these people. There's 2x order of magnitude difference of chaos.

I'm not waiving the US flag btw, im just saying it seems reasonable that's it a 2x magnitude more complicated problem no?
