Sweden is often picked on for being a silly country but I like it, however I don't deny there are problems. In this video I identify the main problem, not only with Sweden, but with most European nations. It relates to the chivalric ideal of the Middle Ages which balances the benefits of gentility and ferocity. We must be both meek and fierce at the same time if we wish to preserve the finer aspects of our cultures.
The video includes 18th century Swedish country dancing and footage of the changing of the guards at Kungshuset (The Royal Palace in Stockholm)
