Can you point to the charter where the Örebro party ever said that you don't deserve to live?
The embellishments of what people actually believe is extremely exhausting.
FWIW, I'm an immigrant in Sweden and if they gained power I would be affected, but we talk about people with differing views to us as if they're actively violent in order to shut down conversation.
This catasphrophising language will eventually not help your cause, because ordinary people start to feel numb to it and the hard-right will not be defeated by it.
Its not that they start to feel numb, they didn't care in the first place. I have had random co-workers start talking about how they don't want foreigners in Finland and that in Sweden immigrants (maybe you) get free money and don't work.
Asylum seekers in the EU indeed get a monthly allowance and are prohibited from working. Is this not a known fact?
They need to get permission, but they can work. I did mention that this person wanted all foreigners out.
Which is a direct result of the right-wing conservatives complaining about them taking locals' jobs. There are some exceptions like for Ukrainian refugees.
By the way this is only during the validation of their asylum-seeker status. Once they get permanent residency they can work.
Talking about how entire races of people deserve to be deported is active violence
So “don’t deserve to live” is down to “violence”.
Q: When people seek asylum, is the expectation that they should return when its safe?
Or is taking in 10% of population mean that you have a permanent minority population that is part of a permanent underclass similar to how black people have it in the US?
Genuinely asking.
Does that line of thinking hold when this party has also said they also want to deport people born in Sweden?
>"They will also be forced to leave, even if they are born in Sweden, because they have no natural connection to Sweden. They are not Swedish."

That you consider immigrants to be automatically part of an 'underclass' is very telling of the stigmatisation of asylum seekers.
Some of them are doctors and scientists especially from places like Syria.

Come to Ukraine and witness real "active violence". This is ridiculous.
There is more to violence than physical violence you know. Verbal, emotional violence is violence as often seen in domestic abuse cases.
Nope, sorry, talking is never violence.
Ah yes, so if say Hitler says "millions of people should die" then it's not violence, it's "just" words.
