Read the credits of any Top 10 pop song and there are invariably twenty dudes named Sven.

    Finland's got welfare and free schools too and our global pop cultural footprint is minimal

    We can't even make good crime dramas like the other Nordics

        Not sure how you'd rank Sweden and Finland on that stuff

        It's my understanding that Sweden's far right circles are far more organised

      what? no it's not, sweden just has 2x the population

      pretty much every western country has disproportional pop culture, but even within this I don't think Finland is the lowest. Norway and Denmark are probably lower tbh

        Counterpoint: Anglos are familiar enough with Scandinavians that there is a generic comedy scandi accent

        There is no stereotypical comedy Finnish accent
