SWEDEN JUST OFFICIALLY ERASED DECADES OF ITS OWN CULTURE. In a SHOCKING move that has ignited a firestorm, the Swedish government’s new national canon has DECLARED WAR on modernity, feminism, and immigrants with a single, brutal edict: NOTHING after 1975 is considered “Swedish.” ABBA? ERASED. The voices of women and immigrants? SILENCED. This is not a celebration of heritage—it is a STATE-SANCTIONED PURGE of everything that doesn’t fit a narrow, white, nationalist fantasy.
The driving force is the Sweden Democrats, a party now wielding culture as a WEAPON. They are not preserving history; they are ENGINEERING it, framing diversity itself as a national crisis to be managed and EXCISED. An expert who resigned from the committee blasted the project as “national Romantic” propaganda that excludes a THIRD of Sweden’s population. This is the ugly face of 21st-century nationalism, disguising bigotry as tradition.
This Swedish experiment is a TERRIFYING blueprint for the global far-right. It resurrects the bitter “canon wars” of America’s past, where the fight over which books matter was a proxy war for the nation’s soul. Now, Sweden proves this isn’t academic—it’s a political SCORCHED-EARTH campaign. They are building a cultural wall as real as any border, deciding who belongs and whose story counts.
The message is chilling: your history, your art, your very identity can be LEGISLATED OUT OF EXISTENCE by those in power. As the West grapples with its values, Sweden shows us the dystopian endpoint—a society so afraid of the future it is willing to CANCEL its own present. The question is no longer what makes a great book, but who gets to decide who is a real person.
