We were taught the usa saved europe during ww2, very very much.
But I sure don't understand the wannabe-american-ism so prevalent in Sweden. We have stupid christmas light shows, people name sports clubs like they were american, people buy harley davidson (that's a whole thing I can rant about even more) and on and on.
I guess we were oversold on it for some reason.
I thought Swedish education was good. Is it just that USAnistan got their claws into while everybody was young and it just went on from there?
Swedish education in the 1980-90:
Monday you go to work
Tuesday you go to work
Wednesday you go to work
Thursday you go to work
Friday you go to work
Work is important!
Art is not important, fun is not important, nothing is important, except Wooooork!!

All films subtitled so our english is usually quite good, so we have that going for us...
The whole Irish economy is US tech.
But they're not Scandi and neither is Finland.
Please invest at home. Please invest at home!

Every American who's fucking had it with the capitalist surveillance machine going completely unchecked by their legislators who take lobbyist money
As a Norwegian this is super frustrating. It is absolutely everywhere. All cloud provider deals are google, azure and sometimes aws. Its always fucking windows and office. On rare occasions Gsuite. Teams, Zoom and Slack is rampant. Norway also loooove Teslas and iPhones.
