Huh, as a Swede it's the first time I hear about it.
- 2rsf 7y agoSame
- ahje 7y agoThe word's been mentioned a few times in Swedish-language media in Finland, so it's definitely being thrown around enough to spread to this side of the Baltic sea.
- leksak 7y agoYeah, I was like "what did I miss?"
- robin_reala 7y agoI live in Malmö and it’s definitely been a thing here…
- lawn 7y agoI live in the north (Norrbotten) in a smaller community. There is a point to take the train between Gothenburg and Stockholm instead of flying for example, but taking the train from Luleå to the south is simply not worth it. It's just as expensive (sometimes more so) and the trip will take at least 15h longer...
- robin_reala 7y agoYeah. I considered Umeå before I made the move to Sweden, and it would have been dramatically more difficult to get to central Europe / UK without flying. I can quite understand why flygskam isn’t a thing up north.
- alkonaut 7y agoWhat "Flygskam"? Do you consume a lot of traditional news (TV news, newspapers, Public service radio)? You couldn't have missed it.
- lawn 7y agoI don't watch TV and I do listen to radio news occasionally. I do read newspapers.
