A country handing out a brochure on civil defence which was last published during the days of the cold war is a political issue. When that same country clearly has internal problems which threaten to overwhelm parts of society - something even the current government doesn't deny so it would be pointless to deny it here - my reply is very much in line with the subject. To get a better perspective on the situation in Sweden you might want to take a look at what neighbouring countries' governments - Denmark, Norway and Finland being the closest as well as the most interesting examples - state about Sweden and the situation here.
I do not know where you live so I can not make assumptions about your direct knowledge on the situation in Sweden. If you do live in Sweden I assume you follow the news - and by that I don't mean you only listen to Sveriges Radio, watch Sveriges Television and read Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet as that will give you a rather skewed image of current affairs. Read both national and foreign publications, especially those from neighbouring countries as these often have direct input but are not hampered by the 'åsiktskorridor' (look it up, it is a real thing). I you do not live in Sweden you can still do the same and draw your own conclusions but you will not have the experience of actually living in the place itself.
By the way, on the subject of me going on 'anti-immigration tirades' it might interest you to know I'm an immigrant myself. This gives me a perspective on the situation in Sweden which some natives lack, both because of my experience from other societies as well as that of my reception in this country.

This is just false. There is no "overwhelming problems" on the scale of this brochure. That's ridiculous. I'm born and raised in Sweden - actually in one of the no-go zones you like to throw around - and I'm well aware of politics, media & history. In fact, I'm quite heavily interested in them all. This means I know exactly what kind of people uses rhetoric like yourself. "Åsiktskorridor" (which you for some strange reason find the need to add a source to Wikipedia for) which is just a bad name for thinking that "They don't like my opinions, and are for some reason arguing back to me!", "left-leaning" conventional media (even though almost all is liberal or moderate conservative, and certainly pro market capitalist), and using Breitbart style of alt-media as your sources. I've read that you're Dutch. Doesn't change a thing though. I know that the Netherlands have a lot of people like yourself as well.
