They think we're smug cunts because other americans tell them how great we are when in fact we're humble and if they actually talked to us they'd know we're complainers like everyone else
Don't speak for others. You're so embarrassing. Please stop.
Spotted the NEETard again.

>Refuting your own point in your own quote
Americans have usually had a hard on for Scandinavia in a lot of ways. Democrats love them for the "Nordic Socialist" meme model, while Republicans love them for being PURE WHITE EVR0PAS (see Trump's comments on immigrants).
The "blonde bombshell" beauty standard in America is also typically tied in with scandinavian americans
I hate them because I'm descended from italians and they bully italy
I think they're [spoiler]swell[/spoiler]
Memes aside we like you.
I like you guys too.
nordic subhumans won't be forgiven for what they did to rome
Can one of you be my bf?
They love you
It was necessary. We would still be living in the pre-modern period if Rome wasn't fucked over.
How do you feel about the American media portraying every European country that is not Scandinavian or Germany as complete shit? Only time they ever mention any other western country, it's to point out some trouble. Don't think Italy in particular was ever mentioned in good light in US media.
well ya got me there
I feel like I don't belong in america just for being italian, but then you'd have to get rid of most of new york city.
You set back time hundreds of years by destroying rome you subhuman.
I really want to see the source behind this.
Not him, but I never see other European countries being demonized in the media I see, except for maybe the occaisonal documentary about how russians torture gays. Americans usually love most of the European countries and I hear Americans fantisizing daily on how they want to visit everywhere from spain to iceland to hungary to germany
Pretty sure it's a 23andme commercial
Thank you for making me feel proud of my heritage.
Not really. The industrial revolution was a one time event brought forward by the circumstances of the time. If Rome wasn't fucked over we probably wouldn't have had the correct circumstances, as a result industrial revolution wouldn't have taken place.
i wish i was nordic and pale instead I look like a spic with brown eyes even though I'm italian
Nyc is the only place I'll ever be considered white so I have to stay here.
down to earth anglicized/americanized scandinavians are bros you can take to a baseball game with no embarrassment. faggy uptight europeanized ones are insufferable though, little better than canadians
>the burning of rome
Found it. Thanks.

Some people have a poor impression of you guys because smug coasties praise your countries like they're literal heaven and smug magapedes send you endless praise for being white and blonde. Every Scandinavian I've met in real life is a nice guy, humble, though you are bit awkward where I live because everyone else is extremely social.
Damn that guy was assmad
Bernie fans think it's a utopia. Alt righters and some conservatives think it's a dystopia. Most don't think about it at all and probably couldn't find it on a map.
I hate all of you. Finland and Iceland are the only worthwile nordic nations.
;_;
Scandinavia isn't heaven, but we are happy about the way stuff it works in our countries. This does not mean that people from other countries would prefer it, but we just like doing things our own way. I get the American sentiment about lower taxes, but Scandinavians sometimes prefer giving some more to the government so that the money can be spent elsewhere, like in education or in the medical system. If other people disagree that's fine, it's their country.
unironically jealous and wish I was born there instead of burger
I'm just enjoying myself studying while getting money from the state.
they like to steal our cars
>tfw no finland bf
Finns are the best nordics
>if they actually talked to us
I thought you guys hated talking to strangers.
We're the least sociable, most asberger/autism types with personality disorders, known in sweden for knife fights and drunkedness, known in estonia for the same, our birth rates are lowest in nordic countries.
We have no history, even america has more, and we have the self hate mentality as other eastrons. Do not idealize us.
>our birth rates are lowest
well shit, time to look into visiting finland.
I like you Finland. Don't shit on yourselves so much.
Why not russia?
Our former tribes women are chasing foreigners right now.
I used to be a sverigeboo. I bought into all the memes about social and economic egalitarianism, and studied Swedish consistently for an hour a day because I wanted to go to Uppsala or Malmo Universitet. Sweden was the only EU country I knew which paid foreign students tuitions in full, but the riksdag passed a bill removing foreign student subsidies the year I planned to apply (iirc 2012 or 2013). So I just went to uni in the States (with a scholarship, the local uni was actually cheaper for me despite all the memes about American universities bankrupting students). I know I could have applied to an exchange program but I chose not to for personal reasons and eventually became disinterested.
My opinions of Swedes (and Scandis in general) have changed over time. The people are pretty nice. The men can be vocal but that emotion is usually directed at an object and not another person/people. More often they're concise and reserved (almost hard to read), especially in direct dialogue. I always think of the Quake 4 player Toxjq. The women are sort of the opposite; they're more confident, tomboyish and unreserved than women I know here. Despite the memes, they're also kind of fat (the Danish/Swedish women I spoke to who live around the Malmo-Copenhagen area). Obviously this doesn't represent all Swedes.
Scandis overall, I admire their history, industriousness, and attention to detail but dislike their social and political beliefs. Norwegians are smarter than I anticipated; Swedes are dumber than I anticipated (this is my fault for having too high an opinion); Icelanders are cool people but there is not much to do in Iceland except enjoy nature; and Danes have cheap beer.
That's a very long post. I'm kind of drunk right now, so writing/reading is kind of hard, I'll give a full inspection tomorrow or some shit. Goodnight. I love you all.
Don't feel obligated. It's more for your entertainment than my benefit.
snap
Nn bud
>Sweden
A Sweltering cespit of SJW degeneracy, due to their socialist views and ineffective immigrant assimilation efforts. Legos and Ikea.
>Norway
The boys with the oil. and decent policies, only in contrast to Sweden because Oslo isn't as much of a burning shitbox as Stockholm, not an improvement, just not as bad.
>Denmark
Copenhagen is a decent vacation. Country looks like a tiny dick and balls docking with the larger peninsula known as Scandinavia. The only one of the Scandinavians with a decent birthrate.
>Finland
youtu.be
that’s a good thing
>Copenhagen is a decent vacation.
Go anywhere but Copenhagen. It's like going to France to see Paris.
It's kind of cool to know that people with the somewhat same same genes as you killed people in other "countries".
How tf could he have been so prophetic?
>Lego
>Sweden
It's Danish
It's not, though.
I only meant in the way that it's disappointing, not about refugees or whatever.
anywhere outside of copenhagen is boring as fuck though
Depends on your priorities. I personally find it much more interesting to explore the culture itself.
Americans don’t really think of Scandinavia much. It’s a small region that mostly keeps to itself.
I’m a statistician and Swedes have a huge influence in statistics (for example Cramér) so it seems pretty cool. But I never see this stuff on imageboards.
Also, Sweden is the 3rd largest exporter of music in the world, even though it’s a small country. I think Swedes are really inventive. Nobody ever points this out, but they created a lot of math and music.
This is the correct answer as far as normies are concerned . Although I personally hate germanics and think they are the worse Europeans. fetishization of Scandinavian girls is a double edged sword. I like fair skin, hair and eyes but at the same time prefer more feminine bodies instead of the the masculine bodies of Scandinavian women. Also their personalities seem insufferable. Do any docile scandie girls even exist anymore?
>Do any docile scandie girls even exist anymore?
They do but for obvious reasons, you will have a harder time finding them on the internet. Docile girls exist everywhere but I think the more relevant question is, how much work should you expect to do before you find a modest girl?
>not an improvement, just not as bad.
Jay Bauman is fucking cool, though. I generally just want to be friend with the dude since he knows so many obscure movies. He's really fucking cool. I don't know if he knows that he has such a reputation on Jow Forums,
Son of a bitch, he was right about everything.
Normie Americans think Scandinavians are rich, white, socialists and descendants of vikings.
Personally I'm indifferent towards Scandinavians.
I had a dream only a few days ago I was in iceland in a comfy house during the winter. It was such a nice dream.
I think America has a nice view of Scandinavia
I wrote some personal message to Jay Bauman that somehow got lost. I feel really bad now and please shitpost to him, I thank you , bye,.
Lol
I DON'T KNOW
WHY DON'T YOU ASK AN AMERICAN????????
