I grew up in a different Sweden. Back in my childhood, my country ranked as the world's wealthiest—with the lowest crime rates and minimal child mortality. Society ran on trust and mutual respect; enforcement barely existed because people honored their commitments. Fast forward to today, and I can't even call it home anymore. The transformation has been stark. From a model of prosperity built on collective responsibility and institutional integrity to something unrecognizable. That wealth, safety, and social fabric? Gone. It's a cautionary tale about how quickly prosperity can erode when the foundations shift.
