> "Why would anyone do that?" That's such a typical Swedish answer... but they do allow (but not as default!) to block orders and request digital confirmation

  Of course, Sweden's largest export are lessons about morality. Interesting for a country that slowly eradicates their indigenous people btw. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi_people#Discrimination_against_the_S%C3%A1mi https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%A1mi_people#Discriminatio... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedification#Swedification_of_S%C3%A1mi_and_Tornedalians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedification#Swedification_of...

    > Of course, Sweden's largest export are lessons about morality Not sure why you were downvoted. I think your comment is rather fair. :) Although, let's give them some credit, they do have a pretty successful mixture of socialism and capitalism. > Interesting for a country that slowly eradicates their indigenous people btw. I think that sad story is over. They significantly ramped up protection for indigenous people.

          Yes, please examine your nation’s cash situation in 2010 and compare to today. You’re broke, Sven.

      Yes, Sweden deserves quite some credit. It doesn't have a clear track record on human rights though, as it is trying to suggest on the geopolitical platform. The conflict is imo not over, it is still going on. If it wasn't then Sweden couldn't produce 90% of all iron in Europe because the mine happens to be on Sami land.

    They also have no problems sending people to be tortured. “Also, the United Nations Committee against Torture condemned Sweden for having violated the principle of non refoulement provided in Article 3 of the Convention against Torture.” https://www.cairn.info/revue-internationale-de-droit-penal-2007-1-page-113.htm https://www.cairn.info/revue-internationale-de-droit-penal-2...
