- amelius 7y agoMakes me wonder how Nordic people behave anonymously, e.g. on online forums.
- bryanrasmussen 7y agoI get a lot of downvotes, which makes me sad. But I guess I have my real name on my account as well.
- raxxorrax 7y agoThat is pretty interesting. Another one of these bad code of conducts. > While the original intention was as satire, Kim Orlin Kantardjiev, a Norwegian politician and educational advisor, claims that the Law of Jante is taught in schools as more of a social code to encourage group behaviour. If real life gets funnier than the original work, satire really gets into problems...
- JoeAltmaier 7y agoInteresting. There's a children's book published in America where the house of oddball people (sleep on the lawn! paint the house orange! Wear party clothes all the time!) are persecuted by 'the General' who won't allow any fun. Can't quite remember the name, something about 'Libertyville' which was ironic I think.
