- yakshaving_jgt 7y agoI totally agree. To blame Swedes (or Germans, or Turks, or… most countries throughout human history) today for their history is pretty much the same kind of jingoism as English people today saying they “won the war”. The history of mankind is the history of war. It’s super complicated. We all should read about it, and try to learn its lessons. One of those lessons being to be skeptical of nationalism and xenophobia.
