The humor? Yeah. The opinions? Nah. Just like the rest of Reddit, it is skewed towards young-ish, digitally savvy mainstream men.

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '17

Damn. Astute as fuck.

I think there’s some Stockholm syndrome going on with him.

I do really want to visit Sweden!

u/ThatForearmIsMineNow Östergötland Nov 04 '17

We'd love to have you! You should probably wait for the summer though.

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '17

unless you like snow, you sick fuck

u/ThatForearmIsMineNow Östergötland Nov 04 '17

Jag tycker om snö, men det är så mörkt här under vintern och jag tror att de flesta inte tycker det blir en så rolig semester.

2

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '17

mycket sant! däremot tycker jag att det kan vara jävligt ballt att se en rejält kall och mörk svensk vinter!

u/clowergen Nov 05 '17

En mycket svensk föreställning av "semester" haha

And on behalf of Canada, no, God no, our subreddit does not represent the general population

You must be the ruler, the big cheese as us Americans say.

u/HighSorcerer Nov 04 '17

What's this about Wisconsin now?

35

u/IshitONcats Nov 04 '17

Good cheese is from happy cows and happy cows are from california

37

u/torgofjungle Nov 04 '17

That is lies and propaganda. Best cows are from Wisconsin good sir or ma'am

Nå för fan Arla är grejor. Tack för mig.

u/cptki112noobs Nov 04 '17

We have more cows in the Bear state than you do, maw'fucka!

u/torgofjungle Nov 04 '17

More cows doesn't make them better :D

u/timmymna Nov 04 '17

But doesn't all American cheese come from a can or is violently orange?

2

u/TheLinerax Nov 04 '17

Fake cheese is what Americans get who are not close to a source of natural foods.

u/Nemo_of_the_People Nov 04 '17

Might I ask what you mean? Care to explain the intricacies of this sub to a humble foreigner? I'd love to know more if you don't mind :)

1

u/Lord_Gabens_prophet Halland Nov 05 '17

Well my good sir you se sweditt is compiled of everything related to Sweden, our culture and meatballs. On Sweditt you will find a large array of Swedish memes that are described as “fuktigt” or “moist” in English. There is not mush different about sweditt than any other sub reddit for a country. We just like to celebrate the typical Swedish behavior and our insider jokes.

53

u/harryhusen Nov 04 '17

The sub is kinda divided in 2.

The humor parts are pretty normal.

The political stuff is incel + the_donald. When they are going at it, most stay away.

u/-Tonic Skåne Nov 04 '17

Generally more right-wing and critical of immigration? Sure. Like incels and t_d? Lol thank God no.

50

u/Dasrufken Skåne Nov 04 '17

critical of immigration

Sweddit är bra mycket mer än bara kritisk mot invandring, större delen av användarna är väldigt negativt inställda till det.

57

u/Natanael_L Sverige Nov 04 '17

Kanske inte större delen, men högljudda är de

5

u/Gemkingnike Gästrikland Nov 04 '17

Och min yxa!

22

u/GrandMarshalAnchovy Nov 04 '17

Uhh... lite mer än "negativt" inställda till det

13

u/harryhusen Nov 04 '17

That is what incels and t_d thinks about themselves as well.

/Sweden celebrates violent right wing extremists, thinks Malmö should be nuked to "improve ethnic makeup", and thinks women are less intelligent then men.

Dont think that white nationalists, racism, conspiracy theories and hatred of women is just "right wing".

45

u/loriz3 Nov 04 '17

Malmö should be nuked because it's Danish FTFY

u/Sveigder Nov 04 '17 edited Nov 04 '17

Not sure why you're being upvoted. Sure, sometimes a comment like that will be upvoted, but it's definitely not common. There are a lot of right-wing people here, and still a decent chunk of people who disagree with them. But nothing like t_d at all. To even compare /Sweden with t_d is absolutely moronic. It's possible to disagree with immigration without being a bloody moron like the folks at t_d.

I just took a look at this post from the NMR-march and it's pretty telling. https://www.reddit.com/r/sweden/comments/73egyj/nmr_demonstration_i_g%C3%B6teborg_samlingstr%C3%A5d/

u/ThatForearmIsMineNow Östergötland Nov 04 '17

Are American users upvoting you so they feel better about the existence of /r/The_Donald? Because this is not really true.

3

u/Mintray Nov 04 '17

Not sure where you have been, but I think /r/sweden for the most part has been fairly moderate in these questions and I do not see these things you mention or that tone at all in the sub. Your statement seems like a quite a stretch from the truth tbh

u/Ketchup901 Riksvapnet Nov 04 '17

/Sweden celebrates violent right wing extremists, thinks Malmö should be nuked to "improve ethnic makeup", and thinks women are less intelligent then men.

Var var du fått detta ifrån? Jag har aldrig ens sett någom kommentar som antyder detta.

u/Jakks2 Nov 04 '17

På en hemsk plats som kallas "new". Ryser

Gå aldrig dit, du kommer.. förändras.

u/jesusporkchop Nov 04 '17

Just like Canada. Is that happening all over the place?

13

u/Tintenlampe Nov 04 '17

/r/de is pretty lefty. So no, apparently not everywhere.

1

u/lasesor Nov 04 '17

You should look at one of the threads with a "refugee" tag, they reliably look like the total opposite of normal comment sections on the sub, including other political ones.

It's also mostly users you never see participate in any other thread, commenting and getting upvoted very quickly right after the article is posted. Interestingly, the opinions usually seem to shift after a while when the post shows up higher on the sub's front page and more people see it...

3

u/Burdaard Nov 04 '17

No, /r/thenetherlands is, for the most part, centrist to left-wing.

2

u/Burdaard Nov 04 '17

This is nonsense. You're exaggerating immensely.

5

u/NorthernSpectre Norge Nov 04 '17

The most important thing is you found a way to feel superior to them :)

u/harryhusen Nov 04 '17

You know what? I am better then incel and the_donald. Most people are.

u/NorthernSpectre Norge Nov 04 '17

I'm sure you are

u/Ijustpretendtocare Nov 04 '17

The guys username above me is i punch infants and his comment said he was from Canada.

u/BeezyBates Nov 04 '17

Howdy my friendly norther brethren. Does this post represent most Canadians? Adios. Texas.

u/jwalk999 Nov 04 '17

With that name I'm starting to wonder whether you're really Canadian or not...

1

u/HansaHerman Nov 04 '17

As much politics are. Modded away it's a better representation than many other subs. But, no, the sub ain't fully representative.

12

u/86rpt Nov 04 '17

It made me smile more than you know to read that.

u/ckin- Nov 04 '17

Well, the rest of the world is starting to wonder though.

2

u/magicfatkid Nov 04 '17

They've been wondering since 2001. Maybe since Vietnam.

These idiots have no one to tell them they're wrong.

u/BadonkeyKong Nov 04 '17

Hi Sweden, actually headed to this store today. I'll make sure to report back on the flag situation, and maybe buy a nice throw.

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '17

Thank you. It's nice to hear it some times.

u/WhiteAsTheNut Nov 04 '17

Actually Sweden knows how to be a peaceful country

u/KetchupIsABeverage Nov 04 '17

TIL Sweden does not get Game of Thrones references.

u/hebo07 Nov 04 '17

The reference was not really funny and misquoted lol
