This is me. Am white dad on vacation this week. It’s not that cold, like 70F, but there has been chilling rain all week. I’m the guy not only soaked in my shorts and t-shirt among a sea of ponchos, but still sticking my head into the fountains and stuff.
It makes way more sense than the other cults imo. Like, I won’t get disowned by my family if I change my mind, and in an emergency he can nourish me with his noodly appendage.
As an American who got to visit Sweden earlier this year, it was so refreshing and eye-opening to see how they treat people and property around them with dignity and respect.
It’s probably similar in a lot of Europe, but I did the speed run version going straight from the US to Scandinavia.
