Not just an anonymous source now #shithole

Also, can we stop our obsession with labeling each other and actually discuss shit workout personal, presumptive attacks?

Slovenia is a shithole and so is Croatia and Austria

Am I a racist now?
Blowing dumb shit way out of proportions... again

While we're at it. Those countries should ask themselves why they are shitholes and stop blaming senór Trump for everything. Atleast he's someone who says it like it is without wrapping it in cellophane like most other politicians do.

They really aren't and if you think they are you're a massive fucking cretin.

Wait, we know you're a massive fucking cretin.

Slovenia and Austria at least (not much experience with Croatia tbh) are fucking awesome countries to live in, your idiotic consumption of right wing retard news is the only thing making you think otherwise. So much for right wing pride in their own country, they scare you into believing any old stupid shit so you keep wanking them off believing in some magical perfect fairy land.

In b4 "but you left Slovenia!!111!111" when you don't know any of the even most basic reasons why.

You're not the president of the United States, so you holding that opinion is irrelevant to the people's lives and interests.

why would people move from norway to a shithole?

why would people move from norway to a shithole?

As a descendant of Norwegians who moved to the US in the late 1800s: famine was one reason. The Odelsrett was another. The Homestead Acts gave a pretty big incentive to come over.

As for the modern day? No idea.

Greed.

Well, the US does have lower personal taxes. Maybe less regulation, too. Norway has its own issues today, but I doubt they were the cause for people coming over.

Not really. The last real famine Norway experienced was because of the British blockade during the napoleonic wars, there wasn't a famine in Norway during the industrial age. But it did undergo a lot of growing pains. Due to industrialisation a lot of people moved into the cities, creating slums and as the population grew (which was quite substantial during the industrial era) people struggled more and more to get by. The Americas had a lot more opportunities for a lot of people in that time.

The last big migration wave from Norway to the US was right after world war two, and those who resettled where mostly sailors in the Norwegian merchant marine shipping freight for the US in the pacific. Because of their war time service for America, they automatically got a greencard. When the war with Japan was over and they returned to Norway, peace had dawned in Europe a long time ago, and they felt neglected. A lot because the labor government at the time shat all over them and witheld pay which was rightfully theirs which they had accrued during the war. About 10 000 of them settled in Seattle. There is a big US Norwegian community in that city, shops that sells (old) Norwegian newspapers and assorted goods.

You know, being outraged would require me to expect anything more from him than what he provided tbh.

He is exactly as i always thought he was instead. Which is almost kind of sad in its own way.

[helgur]

If this isn't what you expected, please alter your expectations. And enjoy the ride.
