Stockholm is my favorite city, and the Swedish culture is so similar to the Midwestern US culture I grew up in (probably because we have a ton of scandinavian people who immigrated to the upper midwest). The stuff you talk about in this video is so true, and I love Sweden for all of these things and so much more. I can't wait to go back to Sweden after the pandemic is done.

A discussion of Finland and Russia and Karelia brings up memories of Sweden. Modern Swedes and Finns and Russians and Norwegians and even Karelians are very nice people, very peace loving too. I heard that thinly populated Sweden was in the business of conquering other European kingdoms about 300 years ago or so, and had gobbled up Norway and Finland, and engulfed and devoured South Karelia, a province of Novgorod kingdom at the time, again being conquered by Sweden. South Karelians usually never objected to Swedes or Finns or Russians conquering them, or having them as their lords and rulers. Their faith was Orthodox Christianity. Under Swedish Rule, a percentage of Karelians started attending Swedish church instead of their Orthodox churches, while the remainder of Karelians stayed with their Orthodox faith churches. Thinly populated Swedes ruled over Finland and Norway with a soft hand. Sweden may have secretly deported the aboriginal Eskimos out of the arctic circle centuries ago, besides coming up to the gates of the capital city of the Romanov dynasty, namely Saint Petersburg, and despite having a small population of 5 million Swedish souls that time, Swedes were already living in a relatively huge (for their small population) kingdom of Sweden even before the conquering process began. Sweden conquered Finland and Norway, Orthodox Karelia, over the years, South Karelia was a province of Novgorod kingdom whose Karelian language resembled either medieval Russian (as per Russians of Saint Petersburg in the year 1920) or spoken Karelian resembled a dead language called Finnic-Urgic chain of languages (if you ask a Finnish conqueror in 1920), depending on whether one asked a Swedish conqueror or a Finn or a Russian conqueror. The armies of Sweden came up to the suburbs of the capital of Imperial Russia, close to Saint Petersburg, where they stopped. Next, they gave independence to Finland, and also gave the adjoining province of Karelia to newly independent Norway. Karelia extends all the way to the suburbs of Saint Petersburg. This was before a winter war of 1939 to win areas of South Karelia outside Saint Petersburg previously overrun by Swedish forces many many decades earlier. As Finland gained independence, Sweden gifted lands on the far side of Finland (such as South Karelia) to newly independent Finland more than 100 years earlier. Some former areas of Sweden such as South Karelia province was earlier conquered by Sweden, such areas were on the far side of eastern independent neighbor Finland.

Its so odd that some people will find taking your shoes off in someone elses house more rude & that some people find it rude to keep them on! Lol tbh I’d like to be able to keep some little slipper shoes by my front door for people to wear inside instead because yeah, tracking dirt everywhere is obviously gross but so are a lot of peoples sweaty feet😅 My ex’s feet stank really bad so he’d have a hard time in Sweden! To be fair, his feet may not stink quite as often or as much if he didn’t wear shoes ALL the time- it wouldve been really embarrassing to take them off after having to wear them around all day because he was outside or something though. Do you guys not have that problem with stinky feet smelling up your house when you have certain people over?

Those same weird facts apply to Finland as well. Finland has its own dialects of Swedish, and they are unintelligible. Sweden has surströmming. Finns used to think Swedish men are gay. Swedes dress neatly. One said that when in Lapland, when you see a hiker that has everything very neat and orderly and with new hiking gear, that is a Swedish hiker. When you have someone with old and dirty clothes and a camp site that is a mess, that is a Finnish hiker. Sweden is kind of boring and middle-class compared to Finland.

In America, the liquor store laws vary from state to state. I live in Delaware, and we can't buy booze in grocery stores. We have to go to dedicated liquor stores for it. Maryland has alcohol in both liquor stores and grocery stores. As for Soviet Pennsylfuckistan, they have a state liquor monopoly like the Systembolaget, but they call them ABC stores. And there are some states that still have dry counties to pander to religious barbarism. Me? I don't drink. I'd rather smoke weed instead. And none of that weekend wussy shit. I smoke the top-shelf bud. Soviet Pennsylfuckistan a.k.a. Pennsylvania has the worst drivers. So does New York. Every summer, they come down to Delaware and drive all wrong. They slam on the brakes every few meters and break speed limits. They also crowd our beaches and eat our food wrong. We only tolerate PA because of the convenience store chain Wawa.

Ah. Well you're going to be very disappointed if you travel to Sweden. Weed is very illegal. Only bet would be to take the train to Copenhagen in Denmark, where certain areas turn a blind eye to it.
