It’s even funnier because they didn’t, meanwhile in AmeriKKKa…
Many such cases
Yeah no way any of us could get in, unless we buy a burner phone just to pass border control.
What an insecure country holy shit rofl.
In totalitarian communist badcountry, they search through your phone and social media at the border. Anyone they find in possession of jokes about or unflattering depictions of regime figures are sent away- if they’re lucky.
And this is against a white boy too who’s crime is having a meme on his phone.
I have been traveling internationally for work for about 10 years now, and every time I go into a global north country I get mistreated because of my nationality. The only reason this is news is because it happened to a white person
The worst part is that I know people who have been dealt a much worse hand and treated way worse, and instead of being reasonably upset with the country that mistreated them, they say “oh well it is what it is”, and then blame it on our country not getting it’s shit together.
They’re just retvrning to late 1700s racial science. Benjamin Franklin considered the Swedes “swarthy”

Yes I know this kid was Norwegian but you can’t convince me there’s a meaningful difference
Lmfao maybe I’ve misunderstood the term “swarthy” but thats the last word I’d use to describe Scandinavians
The full paragraph for your consideration:
Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red? But perhaps I am partial to the Complexion of my Country, for such Kind of Partiality is natural to Mankind.
Observations Concerning the Increase of Mankind, Peopling of Countries, etc. / Benjamin Franklin / 1751
Ah so he was only anti-slavery because he was incredibly racist, how am I surprised
Ben Franklin became an abolitionist after he inherited a few slaves. IIRC he got three house slaves from his aunt or something, but then realized they were people, which left him shook.
“Wait, what do you mean they can talk, have thoughts and emotions, and I have to abuse them to make them obedient? I thought they were like roombas or something!”
–Ben Franklin, 2076 (probably)
horseshoe theory
Also known as the Oregon Rule in this context
increasing the lovely White and Red
While also fetishising native Americans, I guess
I dunno, earlier he described native Americans as “tawny”
and wants to “exclude” (read: genocide) them from the continent/hemisphere.My guess is Red refers to gammon-americans
i think that by red here he means sunburned people lol, my guess is that he thought non-brit euros tan too easily to be considered Truly White?
holy fuckin shit
my fav franklin quote
“think of how we look to martians and venusians”
Yes I know this kid was Norwegian but you can’t convince me there’s a meaningful difference
Swedes put a cock and balls at the ends of prices in grocery stores
you can’t convince me there’s a meaningful difference
Norwegian meatballs are better than Swedish ones
But how do they compare against Finnish meatballs (I assume our meatballs are mostly the same as in Sweden)
I was supposed to have one at the conclusion of a meal recently, but I could never get from start to Finnish.
Whomst amongst us
Honestly I was already presuming since the election that I wasn’t going to spend time in Mni Sota Makoce this year, but like… Someone around my age and appearance, from the same country as me, getting terrorized, harassed and humiliated by government thugs for five hours and then deported, all over a single innocuous meme? The chances of me going this year went from like 5% to 0%, and the rest of my family feels basically the same way.
The number of Norwegians visiting Seppoland has gone down the toilet since Trump got re-elected. Every day it really feels more and more like we’re seeing the rise of an actual Seppo Sakoku.
Unfortunately if we’re honestly going to be prepared for the 2026 world cup we’re going to have open up a lot more prisons
My prediction is that Trump will threaten FIFA with a last-minute demand that either all games are held in the USA, or none of them can be.
Officers quizzed Mads about his visit, and his plans, before adopting a personal line of questioning. “They asked direct questions about drug smuggling, terrorist plans and right-wing extremism, completely without reason,” he claimed.
They got mad because their job offer went nowhere
Mads Mikkelsen arrived at New Jersey’s Newark Airport on June 11 when he was pulled aside by border control and placed in a cell, he told Norwegian outlet Nordlys.
Just wait until Kojima hears about this.
Mads Mikkelsen taken captive
The Hannibal Directive
Take my upvote ffs
Solidarity with the opressed!
Wait this isn’t in fakenews???
oh shit, i looked at this on my ipad and i’m going to be leaving the country in a few days… guess i won’t be getting back in
I wonder what would have happened if it was the minion JD.
EDIT: for those yet uncursed
integer underflow, he’s welcomed to the burgerreich with open arms
Joke of a country
That’s not JD Vance that’s Jorkin Depeanus Vance
Wait a minute, has anyone ever seen the two of them in the same place?
Well, same thing on lemmy with certain zio-sympathizers
