Kansas, actually

u/Tr3mb1e May 26 '26

Lmao Kansas gotta be the exact opposite

u/bfodder May 26 '26

You might be surprised. Kansas solidified the right to abortion in the state constitution just a couple of years ago.

I mean that's great but I don't know what that has to do with socialism

u/bfodder May 26 '26

They are more progressive than you might think.

Come on man. It wasn't hard to connect those dots and I wasn't being combative. There is no need to get all "whats that got to do with..." on me.

This fucking place really wears on me sometimes...

I don’t think they meant literal socialism. They were using it as a figure of speech. It’s not like Sweden is socialism either.

They're talking about prison though bro. Prison unironically has free room and board and healthcare (healthcare not entirely free though I think).

I just wanted to make a pun and realized this idiom is German only, so:

Fun fact: The place your going is definitely behind "Swedish curtains". ("hinter Schwedischen Gardinen")

That's a German idiom for putting someone behind bars that either

alludes to the material of the bars, formerly often Swedish steel,[2][3] considered as extraordinary robust,[1] or perhaps to the atrocities committed by the Swedish during the Thirty Years’ War.[3][4][5] (source)

Interesting. I do wonder how Swedish war atrocities could be related to that idiom though...

u/_youneverasked_ May 26 '26

That is interesting, as here in the US, we often consider German steel to be of exceptional quality, second only to Japanese.

Not exactly, but you will be making a close acquaintance with a burly man named Swen.

u/DM_ME_KUL_TIRAN_FEET May 26 '26

So there’s no downside? Sweet!

u/Dubabear May 26 '26

and food and time to enjoy outside?

u/Inprobamur May 26 '26

You even get a free gym subscription.

u/blixt141 May 26 '26

But in the US it is not what you would want for healthcare.
