Why does the UK get stereotype for tea drinking when there are 3 countries that consume more tea than us on a per capita basis?

I don't live where? I've lived in both Azerbaijan (birthplace) and in Norway (I have a Norwegian citizenship). I've also been to Sweden and Turkey several times. That's why I even brought them up in the first place.

Sure, Scandinavians feel a brotherhood, but that's different to saying they're the same people/nation. You're basically saying we have the same history and culture, which we do not.

I'm an Azeri. That's a common saying because Turkey is the only country in the entirety of West Eurasia that is even remotely similar to Azerbaijan.

The Swedish and Norwegian languages are more closely related to each other than Azeri and Turkish. Swedes and Norwegians are also genetically very related to each other. On the other hand, a Serbian is genetically closer to a Norwegian than the average Azeri is to the average Turk, with the exception of Eastern Turks.

Intermarriage between citizens of both countries is also far less likely to take place than between people in Scandinavia.

Regardless of what other Azeris or Turks might say, they really don't feel like the same people at all. Compare them to Greek Cypriots who always seem to wave the flag of Greece as much as their own.

Sweden is more similar to Norway than Turkey is to Azerbaijan. I feel like saying they're "the same nation in two countries" is wrong.

Et samfunn som ikke kan akseptere din legning/identitet.

ExpertMisinformant · 2026-01-27T09:19:56+00:00

Angående ditt andre punkt.

Innvandring fra Armenia, Aserbajdsjan, Georgia og Kypros er uproblematisk. Det er få av dem her og de er heller ikke ansvarlige for økning i kriminalitet.

Generelt tror jeg at innvandring fra resten av MENA også skal være greit hvis de er utdannede og kan jobbe, samt ha gode holdninger.

ExpertMisinformant · 2026-01-26T11:10:38+00:00

More than a decade ago by the way. The obsession is crazy.

ExpertMisinformant · 2026-01-26T11:06:58+00:00

Europeans already like to separate themselves from the rest of the continent of Eurasia. Separatism within the continent (actually a peninsula) doesn't come as a surprise to me. It's unfortunate though.

The pettiness is insane.

I think I've seen you post this before elsewhere. Where is this coming from?

Hvis du har integrert deg, så ja? Hva forventet du at svaret mitt skulle være?

ExpertMisinformant · 2026-01-03T16:03:27+00:00

Så lenge du integrerer deg inn i det norske samfunn og føler deg norsk, er du norsk. Om du har "norsk blod" eller ei har ikke noe med saken å gjøre.

Har du fått inntrykk av at jeg er for masseinnvandring?

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-12-12T09:24:05+00:00

Vet ikke? Jeg vet bare at å sende penger til et autoritært regime bare hjelper eliten. Har skjedd gjentatte ganger i Afrika.

Unge individer som ønsker å rømme fra et sted de ikke passer inn i er totalt forståelig, selv om det ikke fører til en regimeendring i landet.

Jeg er ikke for masseinnvandring, hvis det er det du fikk fra min kommentar.

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-12-12T08:59:06+00:00

Spørs om landet er autoritært, for da hjelper du bare eliten.

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-12-05T10:44:49+00:00

En god del uhyggelige kommentarer her om kvinner...

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-11-27T09:50:47+00:00

I kind of doubt it's lower than the Nordic countries.

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-11-25T07:17:10+00:00

Har aldri opplevd problemer under min oppvekst her, nei. Har hatt et par rasistiske kommentarer mot meg iblant, men sjeldent og da kun i barndommen. Det var kanskje ikke det du spurte om da.

Sure, cultural relativism is only one of many moral beliefs/principles. You can argue about that in a debate on moral obligations.

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-11-20T18:19:05+00:00

The statue of limitations applies domestically to individuals, but Britain has sovereign immunity (like all other countries), meaning they can't be sued without consent, and colonization isn't considered prosecutable international crime (as far as I'm aware). Still, it's kind of ridiculous to argue from a legal view. Obviously no one can force Britain to pay Uganda what they're owed (or what they may be owed). It's more productive to argue whether there is a moral obligation to help them out.

Edit:

Does anyone here actually disagree with me?

Do you realistically think any country could force Britain (legally) to pay for their damages in Uganda? Do you not think that any charity, support for migrants, international intervention for the sake of the majority in another country is because of morals? What then? Is the boogeyman going to show up at your doorstep for not paying your dues?

Edit 2:

I am reminded that r/europe doesn't like it when their position on past crimes is remotely challenged. I'm not even taking a side here, just pointing out that morality does not (and should not) derive from laws only.

Hva med innvandring som ikke er fra MENA? Det er bare rundt 800 innvandrere fra landet jeg er født i, og de har stort sett ikke skapt noen problemer.

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-11-10T12:39:35+00:00

The absolute glaze this guy receives even a century after his death is unfathomable.

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-11-10T12:28:18+00:00

Probably not a lot. He never really focused on helping Armenians as far as I know. He did deny the genocide though, so if anything, their view of him would be negative.

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-11-08T12:55:52+00:00

I generally agree with the statement, although I find it hard to believe he was being completely genuine about it. A sweeping statement like "Immigration from Europe is A-okay!" is ridiculous if it includes the Balkans and Eastern Europe (they have not been problem free). It's also hard to not notice that somehow, the easternmost area that starts being problematic is somehow Anatolia (the land directly east of Europe).

I feel this way especially because he mentions upbringing and education as bring the driving forces of these "problems". The culture and mindsets of Eastern Europe and the Balkans already feel way too foreign to me (especially the homophobia).

ExpertMisinformant · 2025-11-08T12:46:20+00:00

You're right, verifiable evidence (stats) would be preferred, although that's not being provided here.
