I'm British and if I came to live in a Country in Scandinavia would you guys welcome me or hate me?

I've always wanted to live in Finland .__.

>>8265109

I don't know about Finland, but there shouldn't be much friction in Norway, Sweden (or Denmark).

>>8265109

Can't speak for everyone but I love brits. Welcome to Scandinavia!

>>8265121
I am brown, but the same question. how are you with brown people?

How do you guys feel about Aussies?

What should I have for breakfast today?

>>8265129

Most people are pretty neutral in regards to skin color I think. People tend to care more about what you personally do with yourself and how you treat others.

Another Scandinaviafag here. /tg/ is full of us,

There is no escape.

>>8265130

You're a little more exotic than the Brits or the Americans, but it's the same clique.

>>8265152

Some variation of rotten fish and akvavit.

>>8265155
I smell like curry, have a million kids, shout in my own language and put trash on my lawn.

now what?

why are you so fucking rich even when there is socialism in your countries???????????

>>8265129

Hey, I'm the guy that told you to fuck off in that thread you made! Skin color doesn't matter to me, and most of the people I know. Just don't bring mysogynistic culture with you, oh wai-

>>8265162

No, indeed we seem to be quite plentiful on the internet in general.

>>8265109

Finfag here, I think you'd be well received.

>>8265129

There are always some people who are ignorant. There should be no problem in any of the larger cities, though.

>>8265170

Norway has oil, not sure how the others in the union do it. Sweden sells weapons, Finland exports technology?

>>8265169

You sound like you're loud and obnoxious. People wouldn't like you.

>>8265170
Norway: Oil
Sweden: No war
Finland, Iceland, Denmark: Not rich

>>8265190
yay, im moving there next week :D

>>8265183
Norfag here

Especially in the lagrer citys the niggers keep for themselves. No one really likes them here.

>>8265183
Finland is not a part of scandinavia lol, youre like semi russian bro

>>8265170

This is part of it: >>8265189

But it runs way deeper than that. I don't know if this thread is the right place to bring it up though. The discussion will be long and probably full of various misconceptions from many people (myself included, I'm sure).

But I guess you could summarize it like this, somewhat simplified: It's due to a low population, high industrial productivity and plentiful natural resources coupled with a long tradition of engineering, social progress and social justice.

>>8265170

danishfag here - i can answer this

danish labor unions rule supreme. over the last one hundred years they have organized workers to vote on politicians that advocate workers rights, higher minimum wages, and that kinda stuff. you know, socialism.

compare to the US, where workers unions have been thought of as communism, and thus been all but B&

danish minimum wage for an 18yr old with no education: 20$ an hour - and it ONLY goes up from there.

of course, there's around 50% income tax, 25% sales tax on everything, and to buy a car is taxed like 150%, but people still get by.

also, no health insurance BS - you pay that shit via taxes (its part of the 50% income tax)

>>8265281
>there's around 50% income tax

Sweden here. We only pay 31% municipal income tax unless we make >370k, in which case the state income tax kicks in, and then it's about the same as yours.

>>8265352

true... but its sweeden

we have cheaper booze (so much so that we get a good deal of sweedes coming to denmark to buy it)

In case you faggots haven't noticed, geographical scandinavia only covers norway and sweden.

Fennoscandia covers the two and finland.

>>8265281

What would the process of gaining citizenship (or at least legal residency) in Denmark be like for an American?

>>8265281
you answered why should be extremely poor. but why are not?

>>8265281
>to buy a car is taxed like 150%

this makes sense in denmark. it's tiny.

>>8265428

No, he answered your question (partially at least). You didn't understand the answer though.

>>8265428
there are actually very strong property rights and justice? progressive society, resources?

>>8265415

Very difficult unless you have some special competence that's in high demand, I'd think.

>>8265097

Scandibros are bro tier. Also Swedish and Norwegian are easy as hell to get the basics of the language down, although pronunciation can be...a bit more difficult.

>>8265415

email the embassy

but IIRC - denmark has one of the toughest immigration laws and requirements around, to prevent immigration invation from sandniggers.

still, if you're a reasonably well educated (college degree-ish) person and have some money saved up i dont think it should be that big a problem

try looking around here

http://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-us/coming_to_dk/coming_to_dk.htm

i think they have an email address you can send to if you have more questions

also, fun fact: about 1/3 of all danish ppl work for the government - be it social services, public administration, schools, civic services, police, healthcare, and so on. they're also unionized.

>>8265437
where exactly did he answer?

>>8265218

True, Finland is not a part of Scandinavia, but the terms are often used interchangeably by foreigners. And no, we do not have almost anything in common with Russians (even genes), but I do see why someone might think so.

>>8265428
>you answered why should be extremely poor. but why are not?

what?

why should be extreme poor???? WHAT?

i think you mean "shouldn't you be extremely poor, when living in a socialist state"

the answer to this is high minimum wages and a lot of socialized services. while the taxes are high, there are less par-as-you-go services. schools are free (i'm getting a free graduate degree, will graduate with no debt) and so on. people save money that way around

>>8265461

see

here >>8265281

and here: >>8265472

high minimum wages==communism, poor
labor unions rule supreme==communism, poor
lot of socialized services==communism, poor
1/3 of all danish ppl work for the government==communism, poor
schools are free==communism, poor

I earned 388.000 nok last year.

I`m male, 21, and only graduated from highschool. Ask me anything.

>>8265485
It's called democratic socialism you stupid shit

>>8265485
>implying that governments giving the people what the people wants is communism

0/10

Well, I'd love to move there because of the economic benefits involved with having an easier time finding a job, but isn't it like constantly cloudy and overcast over there? I can't even stand the weather in Portland, Oregon during the winter.

Are there good european union countries that aren't cold/constantly overcast? I really hate being cold.

>>8265502
only private enterprises create value. rest is slavery and poverty.
i think scandinavia has actually good law, natural resources and people.

>>8265485
you have a thing or two to learn about communism.

>>8265511

No, it's not. Winter is winter though. But Scandinavia is a bit colder than the pacific north west.

>>8265509
so how it is this different from poor east europe?

>>8265515
>only private enterprises create value. rest is slavery and poverty.

try to learn how the world works from something other than fox news

again, troll harder

0/10

Please don't feed the right-wing-ignorance troll.

>>8265511
Swedenfag here. We got pretty good weather for 4-5 months a year but mostly... it's kinda too cold and it sucks... but I wouldn't trade good weather for the high standard of living in Sweden even though I simultaneously hate the country (see sandniggers)

>>8265511
>having an easier time finding a job

You won't.

>>8265516
I am from eastern europe.

>>8265538

true

job markets are job markets. its as easy/difficult to find a job in scandinavia as it is anywhere else.

>>8265546

doesn't make it better - socialist systems can work, they just have to be done right

>>8265548

It's probably harder, actually. The market is over-saturated with university graduates, and a foreigner who doesn't speak the language to the degree of a native is at a serious disadvantage.

>>8265533

Are the countries along the Mediterranean decent?

I really do miss the sun.

I have fucked chicks from all the Scandi countries with the exception of Iceland

They love the Meditteranean cawk

>>8265569
As a Swede I know this to be true. Greece, Italy and Spain are sex vacations for the girls.

I'm an American who is going to be spending a couple weeks at the family farmhouse in the south of Norway this summer.

How should I go about meeting 18-22 year old Norfags that aren't my 5th cousins? Also, where can I go to have fun?

>>8265592

try couchsurfing.com and find some norwegan groups

easy as pie

>>8265559
I'd place my cents on Italy in that case... I got nothing against Italy.

>>8265485
>>8265515

idiot telling happy scandinavians that they are, in fact, miserable

>>8265626
I was originally asking for explanation of the paradox!

>>8265639

It's not really a paradox. You've just misunderstood some things.

>>8265626

pretty much, ya. of course, dude says he's from easter europe - they have bad experiences with government socialism... so its understandable, its just sad that when we try to explain why we're happy that he doesn't believe us.

ho well

>>8265592
Beware, Norwegians are shy and timid people until they get some alcohol in them.

>>8265485
sure is cold war in here

better dead than red eh?

>Beware, Norwegians are shy and timid people until they get some alcohol in them.

So they are just much more attractive Aryan britfags then?

>>8265690
I already have taken this into account and plan to fill my suitcase almost entirely with cheap American liquor.

I remember when I was a child my parents would bring bottles of Jack Daniels to pass out among the relatives. Stuff is like 3x the price in Norway as it is here.

>>8265728

same can be said of most danish and sweedish peeps as well

we're nice enough, a bit reserved perhaps, but if you join us at the pub and throw back a few good pints with us its all good

>>8265690

Get some alcohol (and a couple months of dark) into a Finn and he's gonna stab you.

>>8265495
convert to USD?

>>8265773

Finns are surprisingly accurate even when drunk.

No wonder they fucked up the russians while skiing on meth.

er du norsk?

>>8265818

them fins be hardcore

>>8265827

Not to mention it's a finnish sniper with biggest K/D ratio IRL.

>>8265826

der er danskere, svenskere og normaend her. ved ikke om finnere

>>8265826

Jeg er norsk og svensk. Er litt hvordan du ser pa det.

>>8265836
det er nok like greit

>>8265888

>like greit

????

(i may be danish, but i dont understand sweedish that well...)

>>8265913
Its norwegian. means whatever.

I remember some survey where Finns ranked Brits among foreigners they thought most highly of. Most Finns speak at least passably good English and are ready to help. English is also a defacto official language and any official forms you need to fill out will be available in English. So far so good. The real killer when it comes to Finland is the difficulty of finding a good job. It's far easier in Sweden or Norway. In Finland about the only way a foreigner can get a decent job is by having a good university degree or starting your own business. Learning Finnish definitely helps but it's very different from Indo-European languages so most find it very difficult.

For all ya'll Scandiboos out there:
