The little time it did exist was maybe a ten year period or so in total. The dismantling of it was started in the 80s and went to full swing in the early 90s when the Soviet Union fell. In Finland the government took the IMF fully in and pledged to privatize and halt the advance of a welfare state in 1992.
It’s such a pet peeve for me to see the Nordic model used in AmeriKKKan rhetoric as a thing that exists, it barely ever managed to exist.
what even is 196? i remember back when i used reddit, i would occasionally see left leaning memes from there but also would always see other leftists say it’s a bad subreddit for liberals. i looked at it for like 10 seconds, had no clue what to make of it and never looked again. what even does 196 mean
196 is a meme subreddit where the main rule is that anyone who visits is supposed to post a meme. It has a progressive lean and attracts baby leftists but they beefed hard with all the actually leftist subreddits
/c/196 and /r/196: “fuck tankies tho”
Nordic model doesn’t even exist anymore, got mostly eaten by capitalism over the last decade and a half
Pretty sure Norways also depended on having lots of oil money and not being invaded by America for said oil
Oil reserves and fishing both I think. Hence why they didn’t join the EU
real answer. It died alongside the other european welfare-states when it was no longer needed to placate soviet influence.
Nordic countries are currently speedrunning neoliberalism and privatization of all public services

I believe it was originally named after a college dorm room.
It’s a bad subreddit for liberals, wouldn’t be surprised if the people who had the original dorm have government jobs now.
The hornyposting makes me think it’s full of gooners with a left affect.
