I didn’t realize that KFC’s are popuplar internationally. So I had to try KFC in Sweden and compare it to the World’s First KFC franchise. Can you guess where it is? Hint: not Kentucky!

now show those areas in Malmo...
I think Sweden has an amazing culture, but they have made a huge mistake importing so many awful people. Just goes to prove that when people have no problems they create problems.

Look. Im from Brazil. Even when i was a kid i know Americans just think in themself. Like, America first. So in this election they vote for someone who Will do this. And to be honest, i don’t know if this is a bad thing. Looks like Its working for them. The US is the most powerfull country beacuse of this.
This video offered one of the most realistic depictions of a human's relationship with ChatGPT I've seen. I appreciate that.
Sweden is exactly what we don’t want to be
Swede bro is out of touch with America. 😢
Sweden needs a Trump too
You realise that's how elections work right? Stop watching the news lmao just turn it off and walk away
MAGA!!!
Cool video. I'm sure you're completely indoctrinated by Reuters and American legacy media which is nothing more than state run propaganda for the Democratic Party now, so I don't blame you, you live in Sweden, it's all good. Keep up the video making though, I like your style.
ah yes muh democracy when you lose by popular vote and lose the senate and lose the house. you do realize this is democracy correct. fascist are the ones that think they are never wrong. i would delete this channel as this can only help reinforce another loss in the next election cycle. the left needs to stop with this
Democracy is fakeandgheyye
MAGA❤
MAGA ❤
I'm definitely not the target audience for this video, as I find it all a bit ridiculous that people start worrying about democracy as a whole as soon as the opposition wins the democratic process, but anyway, I found that the production was pretty good, some very nice shots, and you really did sell the whole melancholy angle really well. I was kinda glued to the screen, fantastic work on the video. Further, Xanax might be helpful in those particularly challenging times. My teacher swears by it. Cheers!
I mean in this case the opposition tried to overturn the democratic election last time they lost to be fair
Kamala woulda had more qualifications for this job. This next four years is gonna be full of insanity since they got a trifecta
Did someone steal your chin? What happened to it? It’s a negative jaw line. Cope harder 😂
Leftist physiognomy
Democracy is what actually happened, the people choose their leader. We will be a more free nation because of it than otherwise would have been.
I made it into the video! Kind of!
Excited for Trump to start no new wars, focus on autarky, reindustrialise, experiment with cancer and alzheimer treatments, build 10 new freedom cities and incentivise young couples to move there, get the deficit down through a government efficiency committee, utilise RFK to get rid of corruption within the FDA and FBI, and focus on innovation and space travel! If only Sweden had a Trump, the natives would not be feeling the need to move out enmass because the country and any semblance of what it once was has been ruined by reckless policy 😁😁
Lets move to the US, it will be great now without the so lefties in charge, i lived in norway and sweden for 22 years, next stop Florida! lower taxes, higher temperatures
I feel your melancholy! We all are.
No we aren’t. Many of us are laughing 😂 Now if a completely unqualified loser like Kamala got into the highest position of the United States military. Then I’d be melancholic.
@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116 How is she unqualified?
@@misanthropicservitorofmars2116And you'd rather have the guy talking about using the military to rid the country of the enemy within in charge of the military?
@@OssianMcVeigh you’re totally ridiculous. He was commander and chief for 4 years and did a great job at it. She’s unqualified because she’s never commanded the military before. She’s not a real candidate. She’s a puppet for the Democrat party. She has never earned anything in her career, like most politicians.
@@OssianMcVeigh simp harder for Willie Browns suck machine 💀
In sweden the colors of the left vs right is swapped. Red for left and blue for right. Oh and a bit brown in the far right, guess why. (The last about brown is not generally accepted)
Moderaterna är mera höger än liberalerna
I would say for economy and social benefits and taxes, Moderaterna are more right than SD. Just SD are a nationalist party and those kind of parties get called far right. I guess all main Swedish parties are more left than Republicans
The liberal party and moderate party should swap places. The liberal party has been a "swing party" along with the center. The moderates are just slightly more conservative than the liberals
Also worth adding that US political parties shouldnt really be compared to swedish ones, since practically all parties are for a large welfare state. Might also not be fair to use a left right spectrum since it fails to accurately describe the ideologies and political positions of the parties
"Small difference" huge difference, not even the same form of government. Usa is a federal republic and we are a unitarian parlamentary monarchy dude. The most similar govr system to usa in europe is france. If we had your voting system with one person districts socialdemocrats would win big all the time right now and would be considered undemocratic here. Usa can compromise and do proportional representation in the electoral college just like in the House
"dane" the swede 😅
This is some high quality stuff man!
pls pls increase the pacing of the edit, video feels slow and lacking energy
There is an important detail that I feel like you forgot, which is that you CAN actually vote for a specific candidate for state or regional parlament. Under a party, on the ballot you can just fill in the candidate that you want prioritized, normally by ticking a box on the paper. But appart from this and some minor and understandable misconceptions of some of the parties, this was an extremely well made video and you deserve a lot more views!
Oh wow, that is an important detail. Thanks for pointing that out!
wow love ur editing!!
Thank you for this! It's interesting to learn about how Swedes actually vote, and such a nice distraction from what happened. 💙
FYI, Sweden currently has a right-wing government backed up by the far-right populist Sweden Democrats, which is by no mean as bad as Trump, but anyway. This seems to be a global trend.
@@HugoLindfors It isn't a trend, it's a reaction. The distinction is important. People lose faith in left-leaning politics when facing instability and insecurity. Also, one very important key detail to note, is that wherever rfugees go, the right and far-right rises in popularity. I personally see it as both a good thing and a bad thing to accept rfugees, and that it's much more complex than just saying one or the other; but there is a direct causal link between the acceptance of rfugees and the rise of the right and far-right, because that anti-rfugee rhetoric of the far-right always gains such a huge momentum in every place that has accepted significant numbers of rfugees in the world. While people all over the world connects state-wide economic prosperity to increased privatization and reduction of regulations, which is the key talking point of right-wing politics. So in times of economic downturns, left-wing politics tends to drop in popularity. So you never see trends in voting patterns. You only see reactions.
yeah.. same w Germany and Japan almost like political realignment of some sort
I feel completely bamboozled but I still enjoyed this highly informative video… so.. fuck you… I Guess?!
Your political spectrum is wrong.
I thought you were going to interview Swedes on the street, and it’s just you talking about differences in political systems. Is everyone becoming dishonest on UA-cam just to get views? I thought Swedes were known for honesty and integrity. But it’s just more clickbait!
He starts the interviews at 12:49
learn something wheelchair bro
Sure do miss you brother! This was a delightful distraction!
Trump going keep theor ass out tha s y
Harris ant shit
As a Swede I think you got the liberals and the moderates wrong. Traditionally the party now kjnown as "Liberalerna" was called "Folkpartiet", and they were fairly centrist. Both the Center and the Liberals used to be the centrists. Then again, lately L has definitely ran much faster right than M (who moved quicky tp the right the last few years).
Thanks for the clarification! I'll need to update the "pretty inaccurate but somewhat useful" spectrum that I made ;)
@@danetheswede When I think about it, you might actually be right. L has been desperately running right in recent years (as in the last ten years). Same with the Moderates, they were to the "right" of both C and L 25 years ago.
That’s interesting that they have shifted over time. You have better ”koll” than I do. I don’t understand how to follow more than two parties!
@danetheswede I mean, today there are quite clearly two distinct political blocs in Sweden.
SHEEEEEEEESH!
Bruh, as an American who has been to Sweden multiple times I don't understand how we don't have Max burger here. I'll take Max Burger over any of these fast food places we got in the states any day. Good vid too bud.
MAX IS SO GOOD. I made a video about that a couple weeks ago. Glad to hear that there is another American Max fan out there.
w vid😂
Wow
What a contrast for something so basic as school lunch: US in debt for crappy lunches vs Sweden’s good lunches which are fully paid for. Actual food versus food product
would be interesting to know how much is the actual cost in sweden. In finland we have pretty similar food, probably slightly lower quality depending on school, but very similar. If I had to pay US lunch, I wouldn't eat that garbage. Sure, it is nice to have something like burger every now and then, but most of the time there should be something that is healthy, filling and have at least okay taste. No wonder people in US are on heavier side if you teach kids to eat that kind of food in schools.
MAX is the absolute best. So much tastier than McDonalds. I'm from the north of Sweden and in Luleå McDonald's tried several times to establish restaurants. Twice they had to close down because people preffered MAX. The third time they finally succeeded. I don't think this has happened to McDonald's before. 😂
MAX has and will forever have a very special place in my heart. That's interesting that the love of MAX edged out even the McDonalds empire in Luleå.
Is it your “right” to have someone else pay for it too.
no such a thing as a "human" "right"
