Both of those statements are categorically false.
In Sweden they seem to be trying to make the first one true. A university made it forbidden to have 'any conversation that may be interpreted as political to a passer-by' anywhere on campus. It was celebrated by the minister for higher education (liberal party member) as a brilliant step against "wokeness". It was retracted, because it is not possible to enforce. But the government is doing an investigation against universities to root out "wokeness".
Which is a course of action rooted in politics.
Specifically, fascism.
Hearing shit like this, I don't want to hear "what's going on with America" ever again.
