One of my happiest memories of my young adult life in my town

@Bjorn - MD I don't think my southern European side is necessarily loud or anything, I'd moreso describe it as more realistic and doesn't take shit, unlike my other, more >polite ancestry

I think there's a genuine racial/metaphysical differerence between the north and the south of Europe

>viewing yourself as a collection of "genes" and not a manifestation of spirit

@Deleted User and I are very funny to be around at the same time for this reason

He's a very level headed stoic Nordic type

And then I'm well, a Med

And the opposite

And it's cool because you can see the same differences shown in religion too the way paganism was different north to south and how that transferred into Christianity as well

Chris is very outgoing

and I'm very...not

The norths perception of Christ was a very endearing and stoic view of a suffering man who was tortured and suffering for us


Meanwhile Christ in Med art has a six pack and is sitting on the Cross like an absolute Chad

eh, idk, that characterization seems at odds with Nordic mythos to me

they didn't exactly worship the meek

Not exactly what I'm saying

But there is a natural order and quiet virtue to the northern European spirit

I'd agree with that

Suffer in silence.

Its more grounded

Exactly

Good way to put it

suffer in silence is the anglo motto

"Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way" 😉

Lots of emphasis on humility in Nordic culture

From what I've seen lately, they are also into social shaming.

Which is bad right now since the "socially acceptable" thinking is open borders and let brown people destroy their country.

der erwige swede, Norway, Denmark, and Finland are fine, pro dialogue

Theres a good stand up joke about meds and I can’t remember it perfectly but it essentially was like an old Italian guy will always say something like this “well my wife’s always nagging me my daughter married a loser my son is a disgrace my knees hurt my job sucks but hey, I can’t complain” 😂 it's pretty Damn accurate

You see that in hospitals, Italians (and to a greater level, mestizos) report much greater levels of pain, complain more, display pain and grief differently.

Not so with Central and Northern Europeans.

gingers are most pain tolerant, interestingly

I don't think it's coincidence that these countries famous for quiet and stoic personalities also happen to be the heartland of protestantism

Lutheranism in particular

Absolutely

Broads have told me I'm "the strong silent type" maybe cause I'm nord
Or maybe its the autism

I've always given off the "mysterious" vibe apparantly

I don't talk much so I get it

Whenever I see petersweden tweet, for a split second I think it’s @Deleted User

Someone may have already mentioned this, but Patrick got quite a bit of attention on FTN midweek @here

so flyering and stickering in the rain probably doesn't work, huh?
