Is it the same guy though? I forget the guys name who just did this in Sweden and started a big shitshow with Turkey over their NATO application. He looks pretty similar.

No, you’re thinking about the dannish guy Rasmus paludan. Dont know who these norwegians are. Thing is nothing has changed regarding the Nato application. We Sweden will not obey a turkish dictator and violate swedish law. Freedom of speech and thought is a core value in Sweden but also in the rest of Nordic neighbours. With that said i really dont think you should burn books, it dosent matter if its a fact or fiction book.

I don’t think it’s the same guy. The guy that just did it in Sweden is danish though (well at least he is a danish politician). I don’t remember all the details but the women were charged for this.

It’s a bit funny though that almost every time something like this happens in one Scandinavian country there are lots from the other Scandinavian countries. There were some neo nazi protest in Norway a couple of months ago and the majority was Swedish neo nazis that traveled to Norway to protest. There were some jokes about these immigrants ruining Norway (but like calling the Swedish nazis immigrants)

This was in Norway, before the same thing happened in Sweden

I was scrolling for the Erdogan-Nato comparison. Scandinavian right wing nationalists burning the Quran, Erdogan flipping the car giving the wingnuts exactly what they wanted: a stereotypical hot headed angry muslim reaction. Both Quran-burning nutcases and violent Quran-defenders are minorities, most of us don't support either party in this mess. Now let's not make huge geopolitical decisions based on this.

If a citizen burning a book prevents a country from joining NATO, then maybe NATO isn't such a good thing.

Religious extremism has no place in Europe.

a single guy burning a book is going to effect the biggest military alliance in history of the world? I’ve heard of the butterfly effect but this is a long shot

Single guy burning a book (in Sweden, not this case which was in Norway 6 months ago) made President Erdogan of Turkey realize he could extort NATO even more then he already has - the absolute tremendous piece of shit. Sweden and Finland aren't even geographically near Turkey and he's milking his veto to look like a big shot.

u/Nkorayyy Jan 25 '23

Thats not because of the book burnings lol

First Turkey threatened to veto the application. Then Turkey demanded that Sweden extradite people from a group Turkey deems as terrorists.

Everything at this point was then on track for approval from Nato this summer.

Then that dipshit decided to burn the book. Now there's trouble again.

I'm from Norway. I'm not reading everything there is about these proceedings, but I am keeping tabs on what happens.

"lol" in a discussion? Are you 10?

For all that has happened with Erdogan, Sweden, Finland, NATO and everything else affected, your comment was a very nice summarization of it all! Props to you, my man!

As other posters have said this was last year in Norway.

BUT. It's very relevant to the current state of Sweden's NATO bid.
