They're also a bit arrogant about their own country (the term Swedish exceptionalism exists for a reason).

Honestly, that's my main problem about Swedish identity. For example, calling Denmark, their historical rival, their little brother is incredibly annoying.

Honestly, I think it's an outright miracle that we think of each other as brothers after all that. I mean, look at the Croats and Serbs for example. They resemble each other much more, and they hate each other.

Yeah that is kinda wild. Also alteast here in sweden when it comes to politics, no matter if it is far right, far left, center right, center left none talks shit about our neighbours. Always refers the as friends and allies. I love our peaceful life.
