I don't agree with a lot of your politics, but I 100% agree with this. Sweden is used as a banner or a prop by outsiders for their own purposes. Overblown "no-go-districts" reporting; claims that there were no COVID restrictions, when there definitely were, even if they were not as onerous as in other countries.

He sounds like one of those people like Spiked/Living Marxism; their primary interest is in being controversial. Using "horseshoe theory" for clickbait.
Definitely. I mean calling anything that happened here a "struggle session" just ends all credibility for whoever this person is.
Referencing the Maoist cultural revolution is a deliberate attempt to conflate "someone disagreed with me noisily and at length" into "I and my family were broken down by torture as part of the brutal suppression of all political opposition".

He was a political poster on Something Awful named tinkzorg. His politics are definitely skewed towards the meme/edgy extremely online style, and the type to denounce idpol/woke politics as the province of the PMC, or that sort of thing.
He wrote another interesting article - “On ‘Strasserism’ and the Decay of the Left”:

I've seen enough politics in countries where I speak the language and understand some of the situation - articles like this are meaningless. As are articles praising or damning any aspect of Sweden. The bandwidth available for reporting is too limited to get a good idea of what is going on.
In the real world, everything is always complicated.
