😁 Very interesting, I didn't know about the Swedish view.
I actually had a teacher in the 90s who turned out to be a Neonazi, but that was this whole weird thing, and wow, do these people actually exist in real life, and he had to leave the school because he wasn’t expected to be able to live up to the basic democratic values required by the school curriculum.
I’m not sure that was the right thing to do, because as a result he became a full-time professional Neonazi and is today the press secretary of the main Neonazi organization in Sweden.
Well, that is hard to say... :/ First of all, I like that the school reacted quickly. Many schools would probably try to leave things as they are and to not attract too much negative attention.

I miss the 90s when xenophobia and the restriction of human rights was simply unfashionable, and everything was pointing in the right direction.
Germany was newly unified and full of hope, and nobody in the former DDR was even remotely considering becoming a neonazi.
That's just not true. Not true at all. The 90s in East-Germany were a time when we had a massive neonazi problem. There were many attacks, including many murders and a few pogromes. I was only a teenager from West Berlin, and I don't remember everything, but I knew some kids from villages outside of Berlin, and there it was necessary at that time that you defined yourself (visibly, by clothing!) basically as being either a leftist or a neonazi. Because neonazism was so widespread in Brandenburg, that you were either a part of it or you would make it clear to everybody that you weren't.
