I think it was to house asylum seekers and they are housed in facilities around the country to share the burden of it.

And they had come to Sweden to seek asylum. Not sure what they expected. It's not exactly the Riviera.

I’m pretty sure their only expectation was to not die in a war. That doesn’t make it right to bus a bunch of people to the arctic nowhere and expect them to just live. If the bus driver was being threatened, was there no government workers to receive them and at least help them somewhat?

IIRC it wasn't government just ferrying off a bunch of immigrants to the middle of nowhere and said "you live here now" but instead sent some asylum seekers there for the duration of the process to confirm (or deny) their asylum. And asylum seekers at least where I live, for the duration of the processing of their status, live in special facilities. This happened to be in a place they didn't like, which imo makes their attitude seem a lot less understandable.
