Malicious propaganda will plant seeds of negative associations no matter how blatantly false and/or out-of-proportion the original statement is. This will probably make it harder to use Sweden and the Scandinavian countries as a good example with regards to basically everything - not just immigration.

An example of this is the immigration related clarification article from the Swedish government that even made it to HN. That shouldn't even be needed for such disproportionate bs. But it just works.
