The saying there was something ironic.
The judgments of groups of people based on personal experiences can shed some light but they are still an opinion, I don't know to what extent they really serve to establish a rule.
They generally tend to show a mix between our tastes, our complexes and inferiorities, our biases, our desires.
I just got out of bed, I don't know to what extent I say lucid things. I guess I'm rambling, it takes me an hour to land in the real world .

I do agree that Scandinavians take care of themselves better, one of the only people I knew who was completely active and didn't need any assistance to take care of themselves in their 90s was a Norwegian woman. I do think that they tend to carry themselves differently than other nationalities, but I've also seen this very quickly turn into arrogance. I remember briefly dating a Swedish boy when I was young, and this dude straight up convinced himself that every human being on Earth secretly wishes they were Swedish. Just that mentality alone was very off-putting. I also tend to find their over the top liberalism kind of off-putting.
And this is very beside the point, but I heard that in their culture, they won't even give you dinner if you're invited over to visit. Weird people!
Don't take anything on the internet too seriously. Look: 🐓🚗. The chicken is bigger than the car. None of this is real.

I think the social differences are much starker in the UK. In Sweden not so much, the majority are middle class in reality, except that it's literally one of the middle classes with the highest purchasing power and quality of life in the world, when compared to other countries.

That's the paradox of Scandinavians in particular, and to a lesser extent other Northern Europeans too (yes, even the class-ridden British). At a more abstract political and economic level they may be more generous and egalitarian in their mindset, but in terms of day-to-day interactions they can often be rather private, reserved and even selfish. (More-or-less the opposite of what Colombians f.e. tend to be like, the political extremes notwithstanding: politically and economically quite selfish and individualistic, but at a personal level often quite hospitable and generous).
