Sono orgoglioso del mio paese. La squadra norvegese ha fatto la storia dei Mondiali, anche il nostro governo l’ha elogiata. Siamo felici di ciò che il nostro Paese ha ottenuto quest’anno.
Adoro il supporto e l’attenzione che abbiamo ricevuto di recente, sono un po’ preoccupato dalla quantità di americani qui. Vedendo tutti i post in cui copiano la nostra lite vichinga, alcuni americani affermano di essere norvegesi e idolatrano la nostra cultura perché è bella. Cosa ne pensi?

They are actually in most country’s subs. I don’t know why but they are everywhere.
Lots of Maga love Norway because they think we’re a bunch of Christian Aryan whites who keep a “pure” culture.
We’re in reality a social democracy with a welfare state and 1/5 of our population comes from abroad. And we’re happier than American citizens by a mile in every survey.
Most people on Reddit are from the states…
I have family who live in Norway and I visit often to see them. That’s my reason and probably others here too. Cheers from Colorado, USA!
trur det he lit med at dei fleste postane ikkje e på norsk
Left-progressives like Norway because they think your social welfare programs need to be implemented in the US and that this would save us from the nightmare we currently have.
American right wing conservatives like Norway because they think you’re all pure-bred white vikings.
Well, this is the English-speaking Norway sub. So, lots of foreigners with an interest in Norway will be here, whereas Norwegians will tend to go to r/Norge instead.
Also, as others pointed out, there’s just lots of Americans on Reddit in general.
I admit I’m from the states and love Norway. Was raised my whole life by my grandmother from Norway. I was steeped in the culture my entire life. Living in Minnesota, we have so many Norwegians that it feels like Norway is a part of us. I’m sure it gets fairly sensationalized in our minds here but for me, the connection reminds me of home and helps me feel like I have family despite not having it, if that makes sense.
Should we not like Norway? Your country is beautiful, you were fun in Boston, and a lot of us look up to you in renewable energy, forest conservation, and democratic socialist policies.
Curiosity and appreciation. I’m American and my own country is a total dumpster fire. It’s nice to read about other countries I’ve been curious about for years and see how things are. Also as someone who dreams of traveling I like to learn about the cultures I’d be visiting so as not to be one of those tourists.
I’m sure Haaland helped but there are genuinely many of us who have appreciated the idea of Nordic countries before that.
American here. I personally love Norway’s history, scenery, some television/media produced over there amongmany other things. It truly seems like a wonderful country. Norway has been on my bucket list to visit for many years and this sub gives me a small slice of life over there. I hope to one day hike the landscape and float around some fjords!
I lived in Norway for a few years and fell in love with it. Now I admire from afar!
People like its natural beauty and its progressive policies. But the biggest reason is a lot of Americans want to have some connection to the counties their ancestors came from.
I was a year long exchange student to Norway 30 years ago. Norway is amazing and I miss it. I went to the World Cup match in Miami supporting Norway.
Because I’ve been there to meet friends I know from games and stayed a month. It was eye-opening how fucked up the US is.
My grandfather emigrated from Norway and I subscribed to the sub right before taking a heritage trip in late 2023. My pronunciation sucks, but I wanted to practice reading Norsk before I arrived, and try to see what y’all like and loathe from tourists.
I stayed because I desperately want to go back, but not a lot of call for disabled Americans.
I think about this often. Norway has been having a bit of a moment in the US in terms of its popularity and the World Cup, Olympics, films, and more stuff I can’t remember have all contributed. I think Americans have a skewed view of what Norway is like, and a lot would struggle living here. They see people that look like them, maybe even have some ancestry to Norway, and imagine some fantasy world about a perfect country full of rich, happy olympians. In the same way that a lot of the world has a skewed view of living in the US from movies and TV shows, the opposite exists for Norway.
This is an American app.
Also everybody loves Norway now.
As an American, we’ve grown especially fond of y’all during the World Cup. It’s been so fun watching Norwegians show up to other sporting events in the US and do the Viking row. Everyone I know was rooting hard for Norway up until the very end. We really like you guys! Sorry, I know we’re probably not the fans you wanted given the state of the world, but I promise we’re not all bad!
Haaland, Haaland
He’s a blue, just like his dad
Now he’s at the Etihad
Ha—Ha—Ha—Haaland, hey
Haaland, Haaland
As long as the Americans don’t come here claiming being like 5% Norwegian and typing Skol etc it’s alright
Maybe it’s because we Americans enjoy people and cultures outside of the United States. And yes, many of us who do have Norwegian (as well as other parts of the world) ancestors are curious about the cultures that shaped them.
Many of us are even curious about cultures that none of our family came from.
I’ve been to your country before and think it’s amazing, that’s why
[This is why](https://www.reddit.com/r/Norway/s/JDdoJVmOJU)
I’m Mexican. I started liking Scandinavian countries when I started playing Skyrim for the first time in 2011. After that, it was the game For Honor. And then, started watching Game of Thrones when it came out, and complemented it with the Vikings series. And that’s why I love Norway, Scandinavian countries and other European ones that had contact with the Vikings.
Edit: Forgot the word “countries” after “Scandinavian”
They prolly think they’re norwegian because they have a great great great grandfather who’s uncle was born in norway and came to the us as a baby.
Cheers from Denmark i have absolutely no reason to be here either but it popped up!
Canada representing!!
because norway got money
They love attaching themselves to anything that has the potential to make them less American I think, it’s odd
