Between you and me, Last summer I learned to talk to animals. And ever since then Things just haven’t been the same

The entire population of Sweden getting collectively called out on twitter is funny as hell so far because every single tweet by a Swedish person is either like “first of all being racist is my cultural heritage…” or it’s “god, finally, I’ve been trying to tell everyone for years that my country is full of assholes”

[bogleech]

Oh I guess this didn’t spill over enough to tumblr so this is what happened:

There was a twitter thread asking people about their weirdest encounters with someone else’s cultural practices.

Someone said that when they were just a child, they visited with a Swedish family who made them stay in another room while they ate meals and didn’t offer them any food or snacks.

This picked up lots of responses like “wait, what? That happened to me too but I just thought this one family were freaks???”

I don’t need to tell most people why most reactions to this were positively aghast that anyone anywhere expects guests to either bring their own food or just suffer.

The thread truly exploded only when some Swedes not only admitted to it but got defensive about it, calling it selfish and childish to expect food as a guest. Yes even from personal friends and yes even as children, because you should apparently actually be grateful enough that you’re even allowed in someone else’s home at all.

Other Swedish citizens chimed in to say they feel like they’re in the minority for having any concept of sharing or giving in general and that their other Swedish friends keep track of every cent they owe them for every little thing.

Immigrant and racial minority Swedes began to add that the whole “be grateful you’re even allowed here” attitude is how they’re treated everywhere they go just for existing.

From there, a whole lot of discussion, again mostly from people living there, about how Sweden has a cutesy, harmless image to most of the world only because its leadership and media work so hard to downplay its true prevalence of active white supremacy and hardcore nationalism.

“#swedengate” starts trending.

Sweden is being cancelled like it’s a celebrity and every Swede who gets upset about it just immediately demonstrates exactly what was being criticized in the first place:

Actually this part in itself is not funny at all. It’s just funny how many of them had to lock or delete their accounts like they genuinely thought these were normal things to say.

Spot the difference

the outlandish mythology between departments,the goya-esque disembowelment art, the brutalist architecture, the longing for connection when theyve been severed from everything that makes them human and then the random man in a suit sat in a white walled room feeding screaming baby goats like insane stuff this show was made for me

Ok I know we’d all theorised about “what if Burt and Irving are straight on the outside/what if Irving goes looking for Burt and he’s got a wife” but THAT WAS WORSE.

So uh, we got any theories on how Gemma is still somehow alive even though she died in a car accident?
