    Scandinavian banter 101:

    • When one country rips on another country, the 3rd country usually joins on the side of the offender.

    Scandinavian banter 201:

    • It’s usually between Danes and Swedes, with Norway either getting the popcorn or joining the offense.
    • We rarely see the Finns join in, but they’re welcome if they want to.

    Scandinavian banter, graduation:

    • Sweden is obviously the inferior country.

    EDIT: But if anyone outside of Scandinavia were to mock, for example, the swedes, we’ve got their backs. I recall something said a while back when Sweden wanted to join NATO, and Erdigan was raising a stink: “Sweden sucks balls. But Erdogan can gargle more of them”.

    Just for the record: I know many swedes, most of whom are wonderful people.

      Swede here, I don’t agree that we are the inferior country, but we are absolutely the teachers pet of Scandinavia, and deserve to be mocked like hell for that.
