Sweden gets a lot of things right, but there are two notable areas they regularly fail on.
1) gender equality
2) freedom of speech
While countries like Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan are on the male superiority extreme, Sweden is on the other end. They have very easily exploitable rape laws (as the case against Assange shows us) and appear to have some very militant feminists in their legislature.
When it comes to freedom of speech, a guy named Lars Vilks made some Mohammed cartoons and has been threatened multiple times for it, while Sweden's law enforcement apparently hasn't done much to investigate the death threats.
"Chaos... isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again. The fall breaks them.
And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse. They cling to the realm, or the gods, or love. Illusions.
Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is."
