I turned on the radio and I learned everyone was talking about this supposed scandal now and it was a viral thing. I am feeling more defensive about this culturual trait of ours now. loving judgemental southerners.

The real reason this happens IMO is because the other kids where expected to go home and eat dinner, that's really it. If they where sleeping over or something it would be different. And dinner is a separate thing from snacks.

They discuss this in a local podcast even, literally named "äta hos kompisar":

Exactly, depends also on what people imagine as "guests". Often it is your friend who lives close by that hangs out at your place and vice versa like every day of the week after school. Often with their own dinner times, otherwise you would end up just eating dinner at the friend you spent the most time at during most of the week. You usually check with the other kids parents before having them eat dinner at home.

Thinking back, yeah, I would've had an actual impact on the economy of my best friend's parents growing up if they had been expected to feed me.

The result kinda follows from their recent "stay in NATO until we have a better alternative" policy. The EU may not be good, but it's better than loving NATO on account of that bar being only above joining the Warsaw Pact, if not below. It's the classic argument between doing something better (EU military) or doing something good (???).

Ironically, I found myself agreeing a lot with DF when I heard then argue that opting in would be bad for NATO and our relationship with USA. I just kinda disagree about that being a bad thing.

Lotta swedes (and finlandswedes) being oddly defensive of how not getting offered food at friend's houses was fine, akshually

Moving to sweden in the early 90s as a kid was a total culture shock when yeah i'd have to wait in my friends room for 15-20 min while their family ate, or just go home.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.

We got a good byob thread out of it. Hopefully this "made up" "Russian propaganda" will lead to more Swedes taking the time to learn how to be good hosts and offer guests food. Having more food than you need is also a good way to be ready for a food supply crisis when Putin invades Sweden.

Also, has everyone forgotten grandparents? You can't visit mommo/fammo without getting food showed in your mouth. As kids in a small rural village we all where within walking distance of our grandmothers house (we where like 7 cousins living within a km of each other) and we'd visit there and she'd supply us with an endless stream of snacks and soda.

That's just grandmas everywhere, pretty much every culture. Reach a certain age and your only remaining task is to make sure everyone of the younger generations gets fed. Ooh, can't be getting too skinny now.

My dad needed a couple of planks to mount a new hat shelf so I went with him to the store, in the car the radio was tuned to sveriges radio P1 (because of course it is) and while it was thankfully set to zero volume I noticed the little text which informs you what program is on or what song is playing. They were playing nazi/racist band ultima thule. On P1. Can we just provoke pruttin to nuke this utterly stupid and worthless country to dust or something? :cripes:

It's election year now, isn't it? I wonder what new depths will be reached. Maybe the police will dress up in swastikas and beat up anyone who doesn't look white enough to prevent them from voting? Maybe SD gets a majority and/or storms riksdagen (like the dump supporters but somehow even more stupid and undignified)? Maybe moderaterna/sossarna will win on a platform to abolish all welfare before the end of the year? Honestly I wouldn't be surprised anymore. It's like watching a ship sail out into the harbor and everyone onboard starts competing to see who can rock it the most.

It was probably one of a three part series about the rise of Ultima Thule and how they influenced the top of SD and were partly backed upp by the ones that came before SD, BSS.

Listen to the documentary, you can even switch off the music when it starts playing so you don't get a rage-aneurysm or something between the talking bits.

You made me Google Ultima Thule and apparently they are still active as a band.
When they were popular in the 90s, they competed with the black metal bands in being controversial and appealing to teenagers. Seems like they got more of a cult following nowadays than they had back in the days.

Btw, don’t we have a minister that have been caught hailing to Ultima Thule ( she is S so it doesn’t count) and whose boyfriend is the drummer from Raubtier.
Although that probably also applies to a large proportion of Swedes born in the late 70s and who were teenagers at the time and I can imagine a fair portion of them are now in higher public positions given they would be around 45-50.

As was argued by nobody, anywhere, and I don't know where you're reading about Iraqis. Danish asylum centers are notoriously, deliberately awful and breed misery, violence and suicides, in an effort to dissuade refugees coming here. Some have even been established inside army training grounds to this effect. It was discussed at length during the last refugee crisis.

Too bad about Finland burning their long-standing neutrality, because apparently they didn't know diplomats were allowed to lie.

The price was already measured in dead Kurds, though. Nobody's made a peep about Türkiye making further incursions into Syria already. That's how we do at the big boy table.
