It is not in human nature to easily admit mistakes — least of all when your entire identity, career and moral superiority rest on never having to do so.

This is why large parts of the Swedish Left will never genuinely abandon the dream of solar and wind as our main energy sources, no matter how many cold winters and blackouts we endure. They will also never fully embrace nuclear power, even after the EU classified it as fossil-free and low-carbon.

The same stubbornness applies to woke ideology, gender theory experiments in schools, and the belief that Sweden can absorb unlimited immigration without consequences.

I’ve watched this pattern for years. Facts bounce off them like rain on a windshield. Because admitting they were wrong on energy, integration, or economic incentives would mean questioning the entire ideological foundation they’ve built their lives and careers around.

And that is simply too painful.

The number of people on the Left willing to stand up and say “I was wrong” is depressingly small. Especially when their status, friendships and sense of moral superiority depend on never uttering those words.

So they double down.
They raise taxes.
They gamble more pension money on green fantasies.
And they call anyone who points it out “right-wing”.

Because it’s easier to attack the messenger than to look in the mirror.
