A couple years ago I wrote (here) that since Sweden seems bound and determined to take in as many Muslims as possible, without putting any pressure on them to assimilate, the rest of us should consider it as a sacrificial lamb that we can use to get through to elites elsewhere about how awful Islamification is. A woman from Sweden (herself in immigrant from France, though she had thoroughly assimilated) has written of how she is giving up on Sweden and is moving to Budapest. (See here, with a hat tip to reader Mark Spahn.) She writes:
I can no longer live under this immense mental stress, insecurity, murder, shooting, executions, explosions, rapes and gang rapes, robberies, home burglaries, beatings, car fires, school fires, serious criminals who, after a relatively short prison stay, may again be released to move freely among us, an increasingly dismantled welfare system, lack of health care staff, teachers, elderly housing, lack of elderly care, an increasing number of poor pensioners, municipalities in principle bankrupt or in bankruptcy, all these no-go zones called something else, lack of police resources where it may take 1.5-2 hours for them to arrive at the scene of ongoing crimes if they arrive at all, the lying politicians regardless of political color and the accomplished so-called PC media, the demonization of people who think differently, the shrinking freedom of expression, the increasingly diminishing democracy, and last, but not least, the ongoing and widespread Islamization of the country.
Also:
I can no longer bear to hear the police giving advice with a gradually growing list of new recommendations: lock the car doors while driving, do not go out alone in the evenings and nights, do not jog alone in the woods, do not stay in dark alleys or streets, do not wear expensive watches or gold jewellery, do not wear specific types of clothing, do not ride certain taxis or public transport alone in the evening or at nighttime, do not respond to advances, and do not look certain men in the eye so that they do not interpret it as an invitation, etc. In other words, stay within the four walls of your home! I feel like I live in a prison, that I can’t breathe freely, that I have to constantly think about and be observant of my surroundings and look over my shoulder.
I’m guessing that no elites anywhere in the West will pay any attention to complaints like this.
Also, five years ago I wrote (here) that I had been hearing about the end of Sweden for about a decade and that it hadn’t happened yet. I think we can now say that it is happening.
Another opportunity for those who attend Davos to quote Pauline Kael.

Yes, indeed.

I'm terribly upset with Sweden's muslim immigrant/ invaders. Had they not been so slow motion in their poorly implemented project of colonizing Sweden they could have nipped the idiotic climate jihad by Greta Thunberg in the bud as they'd have her in a burka. Why are they taking so long? Just how many Swedish problems must we put up with?

Heh.
But seriously, your comment suggests that she has a lot of work to do that has nothing to do with climate change. Her country is being destroyed, but she doesn't care. Sheesh.
