sweden alone has the 2nd most contributions to the periodic table (2nd to uk) despite a drastically smaller population. if you add denmark then it's nearly a tie. the nobel prize. ikea. the american military uses our armaments. we've been at the forefront of scientific discovery for over 300 years. taxonomy would barely be a field without the swedish scientific mind and the evolutionary model would be in shambles. we killed scores of jeets millenia ago. we genocided germany just a few hundred years ago. hitler idolized us. we didn't cuck during ww2 and even helped the nazis. we invented linux (yes, torvalds is an ethnic swede - same as basically all "finns" who have done something great). we are net contributors to the eu (not that it's a point of pride). simply put, us nordics have been a great thing for the human race.  sweden is synonymous with scientific discovery, good living and good natured people. all of this is going away slowly in modern times, but that also serves as a foil to remind us how good we had it and can have it again. times are tough, and it's time to become hard men
