Swedish government sent this to us, telling us to be prepared for war

So what is the government up to this time? -.- everyone received this in their mailbox today.

First I can't get any health care in my city, then there's a 3 month waiting line for a damn passport, and now this bs propaganda in my mail. Does Sweden even afford to defend itself? No. No money for that...

@SapphicHeart well if you can read Swedish it says stupid shit like "if enemy attacks!!!! We will never give up!!!" (when we all know they can't afford to defend themselves) + gives real shitty advice about how to survive without watet etc. Some of the advice I wouldn't follow.
@IndependentGuy
My question is once more, propaganda?
@SapphicHeart Yes. I've starved on the floor in this country without health care, and the media claims "it's all okay, don't worry". You probably never even heard of the true situation in Sweden. That is propaganda. My country fakes having money for defence with this thing they sent out - that is propaganda. They do not have this money.
@IndependentGuy
I don't know the circumstances around your health situation but do know Sweden is ranked fairly high to other countries within this field. I'd say you live by a certain agenda yourself from my observations of you around this place, and this information campaign might not fit into the propaganda you and yours would prefer spread around in Sweden.

[b]6. Sweden[/b] — As with most quality of life and health rankings, northern European countries like Sweden score highly. Swedish men have the 4th highest life expectancy of any nation, living to an average of 80.7 years.

@SapphicHeart this is false propaganda. Sweden has the lowest "vårdplatser" (google translate that) in EU. Here are some Swedish articles about the truth:

It says "The government cannot handle the health care crisis" and someone speaks of their father who got heart burn medication instead of cancer treatment. He went to 8 doctors, and then he died.

My city is the 2nd worst in Sweden. Media portrays Sweden as a good country, when it in fact is not. Some people get decent health care, but I could not and the news papers are finally bringing this deadly topic up.

I starved on the floor here, just FYI. I waited 4 years for heart treatment (according to Swedish stats, women wait ca 6 years longer than men). I'm always crying on the inside. Don't believe media. Only recently media started talking of the crisis in Sweden. So these articles are more reliable.
@IndependentGuy
Again, you're heading away from your original post.

As for cancer, I am sure you will be aware, or at least I do hope you are as it seems to be a sensitive subject to you as it is to most of us, a lot of things influences cancer, and also the chances of having cancer discovered soon enough for a successful health treatment. Does there occur misdiagnosis, sure there does as with any other thing in this world that involves people. That Sweden isn't doing that bad is to be read from those numbers I presented to you before. Statistics are more valid in this context than a topic debated on a rally before a general election, scheduled for Sunday 9 September 2018.

As for your own starvation, I am sorry you had to go through that but as mentioned before I am not aware of the right circumstances behind your case. There can be lots of reasons, one being to hide oneself for the authorities out of whatever reasons.

These things are better debated and handled keeping out the personal emotions, no matter how unfair or hard they seem to be to ourselves.

Back to the post though, propaganda?
@SapphicHeart I just gave you all info. They attempt to manipulate about proper defences and money they do not have.

And you still believe the bs in media. The politicians have worked hard to keep up the lies.

I suggest you read Swedish news as they have finally began to discuss all crisis topics in media. Back in the day they would try to cover it up (because if you talk too much of a crisis, it can get worse). In 2016 they closed the borders with no warning.

Some media speaks truth, usually the new articles. So don't read old stuff.

My story is indeed tragic but personal. I almost died.

Regarding the cancer guy: read of the situation. In Sweden we call this "vårdkrisen", aka "the health care crisis". There are so many cases of this. The doctors don't get enough money from the state, hence they complain, get burn-outs and their patients get to die for nothing. This is a disaster, just fyi. Nothing to laugh at.
@IndependentGuy
You're repeating yourself and your agenda. I'm not laughing. Like said, cancer treatment is a concern worldwide. It won't be an isolated Swedish issue. What we can see is the average life expectancy of the Swedes and and compared to other countries. You can always pick out articles with emotional tragic histories. They increase the click rates.

It's not propaganda to inform your citizens how to act, and what precautions they should make before an eventual crisis/war should occur. That's being in advance but not propaganda. I get it that you hate your system. But this won't be propaganda. Ha det!
@SapphicHeart You're completely lost. This was literally sent on order of the government and was sent to the entire population of Sweden. Claiming it has defense ready. We all know that's a lie, because Sweden has the shittiest of defence and no money for that stuff. If there's a war, I'm getting tf out of here. Not trusting their defence. I'm already planning to get out of here anyway, so I'm glad.

The guy I'm referring to was also sent to the wrong hospital. Like I could send you thousands of Swedish articles. This is called "vårdkrisen" as I said, "the health care crisis" and all Swedish politicians are now talking about it.

Ha det bra själv :)
