Sounds like you've been a victim of propaganda in the place of you living, because clearly you:
- Never lived in Sweden but assumed that you knew the country
- Assumed that all IT people in Sweden are pretty much the same
- Assumed that all people who have views that are different than yours supposed to live in Syria, Iran, Cuba, or a number of CIS areas
Sounds like you've been brainwashed, big time.
Think about it.
