Like 90% of Finns can't even have simple conversations in Swedish. which would also be the reason why everyone would naturally hate me. Why would "everyone" hate you? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RandomHugs@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (3 children) It was a joke that you seemed to take very seriously. The pun of the joke was that since Sweden and Finland have been rivals for centuries, ranging from wars, to sports, it would be rather awkward for a Swedish person to live in Finland. I know that this is not true, I'm fully aware that both countries have thousands of people living in the other country and that generally speaking, this is not an issue. This was again, a silly joke that did not reflect any truth. I hope you have a terrific Friday! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Dreamcatcher@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 days ago (2 children) It was a bad joke because there's people that genuinely think these things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RandomHugs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago Thank you for sharing, I value your opinion about what's considered a good or bad joke. permalink fedilink source parent [–] DKKHGGGj@sopuli.xyz 1 point 2 days ago Was an ok joke I think. But there is a difference in hate if you just speak swedish or are a swedish speaking finn. Though in my experience bot are quite rare (note here that I am not in a very good position to estimate this). But there is much more ill will towards learning swedish. permalink fedilink source parent
