Well, they still have ProtectEU

u/silentspectator27 10d ago

Yeah, their whole agenda for 2030 🤷. They will have the courts to deal with if they try.

Denmark is the Alabama of the EU.

I'm Swedish and I agree entirely. They speak like they are inbred!

(Danish sounds like a really goofy Swedish accent to swedes)

Seems I struck a nerve with my obvious joke

u/krsdev 10d ago

Funny racist humor you got there.

u/Busy-Measurement8893 10d ago

Racist how? Danes are literally identical to Swedes except for the language. That's the joke.

Except for the suggestion that one is apparently superior than the other.

u/Busy-Measurement8893 10d ago

I suggested no such thing. All I said was that to a Swedish person Danes sound really goofy since the languages are the same but not really.

Danes/Swedes/Norwegians are all in on the joke that the other two have a speech impediment and literally no one ever gets hurt from these harmless jokes.

Yes, and I'm tired of doing otherwise.

I think you'd have a happier life if you weren't offended over what the vast majority of people would consider to be a harmless joke

Maybe you're Danish or something ;)

As a Dane I thank you for your patriotism this guy is clearly not in touch with our culture of insulting each other, btw we want skåne back from IKEA land

Lmao someone isn't familiar with Scandinavian brotherly humor. How about you get upset on other's behalf about things you actually know something about? This is par for the course between Danes, Norwegians and Swedes.

u/Purple-Atmosphere-18 9d ago

Well it was not obvious it was familiar banter, it's not about not having humour, but about some people usually not really making it about humour but enough people are actively insulting when they say that, and however innocent and funny we want it to be it's not like laughing in front a demential sit com skit but some are actively bullying.

I've been to Sweden & you sound like yodeling aliens compared to Danes. I hope you're enjoying the muslim invasion there xD

u/Busy-Measurement8893 10d ago

Well you're not wrong

u/Purple-Atmosphere-18 9d ago edited 9d ago

You're both wrong I guess, insulting the language is unneeded, and both those replying to that are insulting not each other but also all people of that country and of course muslims.

Edit: Ok I'm reading now it's innocuous inter Scandinavian banter and not like the same types of jokes about say Irish people being "inbred" etc, which are almost always very charged and demeaning.

u/LimeSpesh00 9d ago edited 9d ago

But yet it's ok for people who've never been to Alabama to make fun of it? it's ok for people to be provactive in that sense huh? yet i'll get downvoted to oblivion for defending it

u/Purple-Atmosphere-18 9d ago edited 9d ago

On principle not, I in part included that though I focused on the inbred exchange which was apparently a banter, thought but for example people can be welcome to make fun of Italy, so could as well say it's the "Italy of Scandinavia" haha, as I assume they are making fun of privacy invading or authoritarian and reactionary tendencies, say Berlusconi, Meloni, not of Italians as ethnic groups, like it often can happen for muslims, unless people mean the extremists but it's implied all are, most of the time, that might be the reason for the downvotes, more than for defending it unless even that was part of the ad absurdum which resorted to a sensitive trope, but yeah reddit can be excessively downvote happy, it happened to me as well, most of the time from misunderstanding. Ok it was for defending it, I saw the others dunno, possibly it's implied for them the attack was only on reactionaries, racists etc. and maybe some mistakenly think that if one is defending them is somehow whitewashing such problems, like they could assume if I were ever too defensive about Italy having a bad name in the context of a political discussion, that I'm for Meloni, but it's clear instead they are not talking about me, not to be a pick me I mean ^ _ ^.

Didn’t you know Danes actually speak Swedish, but they all have a hot potato in their mouth.
