    Honestly, the fact that you are trying to pretend I didn't tell you my background in an attempt to prove whatever point you are trying to make about me is humourous.

    Enjoy the last word, and I highly recommend you educate yourself on my country before ever talking shit again.

    You told me that you're Greek-Canadian, right? I genuinely forgot that you told me, sorry. Being Greek didn't register in my šŸ’© brain as a visible minority group, but it absolutely is. I was also leaving open the possiblity of belonging to any other minority identities you hadn't previously talked about without assuming cisheteronormative "defaults".

    whatever point you are trying to make about me is humourous

    I wanted to move on with the discussion as if you could have been, but did not definitively tell me, that you were from a group which is a minority in Canada. Which you did and I acknowledge that now, and I simply forgot.

    I stand by the rest of what I said. I'm gonna leave it here because this is already verging on unhealthy.

      If I just delete all social media apps from my phone and pretend I don't have any social media accounts would these facist dumb fucks even know or would that seem suspicious?, I could just buy an extra phone but that seems a bit unnecessary

        You aren't trapped though! Come to Canada!

        And this is how we achieved a population greater than what our housing can support. Unless you’re ready to fork over 1200-2k a month for a 1 bedroom & 1 bathroom then I would advise against this.

        you can support. it's just your politicians holding back the access to land for new development to satisfy some voters and backers that make a lot of money through property price increases. if there was really any will to solve the problem politicians would have relaxed land use regulations

              As an American, seconded.

              I'm trapped here, don't YOU risk being kidnapped and trapped here or sent somewhere worse just because you wanted to see the Grand Canyon.

              Do they really want me to be trapped? 😮 might go to El Salvador, but trapped?

              I'm brown with a thick beard, so I'm used to being "naturally suspicious and prone to explosion" whenever I am within a 5 km distance of an airport. Yet US airports would scare the shit out of me

                  Norwegians have this fanciful notion that all European and north American countries are essentially the same and that nothing is as bad as it's made out to be by those hysterical foreigners. This requires some degree of cognitive dissonance because they also feel like there is no country as good as Norway and everyone must really want to be Norwegian.

                  So he probably assumed it wasn't nearly as bad over there as people are saying and if he was to get into difficulty he could just say he's Norwegian and people would just let him off because everyone loves Norwegians. Also he's 21 so not terribly smart yet.

                  Not to mention that he's probably never been in a situation where a border control person takes your phone.

                  I haven’t experienced that in the many years I’ve lived here. It is a humble group of people, seems to me. They also have tons of love for the other Scandinavian countries. You paint a picture of stuck up nationalists, and that’s pretty far from the truth.

                    Well yeah, if you're trapped in one of our many prisons, you get to look forward to slave labor! Slavery is perfectly legal and constitutional, as per the 13th amendment.

                      Jesus Christ. Reminds me of Eastern Europe in the early 90s.

                      Some western European countries already do the same thing nowadays. It goes against constitutional laws where you can remain silent and where you can't be forced to help with your own conviction.

                          Ok but where are you originally from. Because they have a very short list of good countries. And a good many of them will say things like "yeah but you're not one of those immigrants". I'm not saying everyone is like this but a large number are, especially after a few beers.

                          TBF, when I first heard of this I didn't realise dude was a tromsøværing. He probably isn't that way just young and dumb.

                            Definitely seen south Italians darker than me šŸ˜‚ but coupled with "exotic looks" and the ability to actually tan it's definitely plenty to produce the "terrorist look" and stand out in Scandinavia

                                Oh I’m American; I’m an immigrant here. I’m no expert on it. I’ve just lived here for several years and not witnessed that. That said, I’m probably in a bubble.

                                  When I first moved here as a Scot I was treated well but I was working an unskilled job and met a wide variety of people. Since transferring to academia there's a lot less of it. But the states is on the good list for Norwegians. Which is probably why the little dude thought he would be fine and all the talk of fascism must be made up.
