Jantelagen

Skandinavisk företeelse. Det är givetvis inte en riktig lag, men den formuleras i boken "En flykting korsar sitt spår" från 1933. Man inte ska sticka ut. Du är inte bättre än någon annan!

Du skall inte tro att du är något
Du skall inte tro att du är lika god som vi
Du skall inte tro att du är klokare än vi
Du skall inte inbilla dig att du är bättre än vi
Du skall inte tro att du vet mer än vi
Du skall inte tro att du är förmer än vi
Du skall inte tro att du duger till något
Du skall inte skratta åt oss
Du skall inte tro att någon bryr sig om dig
Du skall inte tro att du kan lära oss något

Man skulle kunna tolka lagtexten som en gammal beskrivning av ett modernt uttryck - alla människors lika värde. Men det är ju snarare så att lagen beskriver att alla människor har samma låga värde.

I artiklar i bl.a. SvD och DN presenterades nyligen en undersökning som visade att svenskar är särkilt "konflikträdda". Undersökningen i sig är helt ointressant och genomförd av ett för mig okänt försäkringsbolag, men att den omnämns i stora tidningar bekräftar lagens giltighet. Budskapet är att vi svenskar är verkligen inte bättre än några andra. Vi är ganska dåliga. Och det ska vi få höra.

Jag anser inte att Jantelagen är något positivt. Men om ingen sticker ut uppstår inte så många konflikter. Svenskar är inte konfliktbenägna. Hamnar vi i konflikt är vi inte aggressiva, vi diskuterar fram en lösning så att alla blir nöjda. Det anser jag vara typiskt svenskt, och något väldigt positivt som ändå kan kopplas till Jantelagen. Om "konflikträdd" är motsatsen till hetsig och överaggressiv är jag hellre konflikträdd, men jag föredrar att kalla det "ej konfliktbenägen". En artikel med rubriken "Svenskar bäst på att undvika konflikter" skulle dock inte gå hem, då den helt står i strid med Jantelagen.

Är det det faktum att vi, till viss del, omedvetet tillämpar Jantelagen som lett till att vi är så otroligt självkritiska? Det har ju gått så långt att våra journalister och politiska företrädare på fullaste allvar påstår att något svenskt inte existerar. Och om det ändå gör det är det i så fall töntiga saker. I  Dagens Arbete skriver den annars kloke författaren Björn Ranelid en artikel på temat att allt svenskt är importerat. Varför? Det kanske är dags för en lagändring?

  1. det är klassiskt svensken i fråga att använda jantelagen i smyg. Ett väldigt bra exempel är i skolor, arbeten och även i samhället, skola: du ska inte tro att du vet vad du gör för att du pluggar, pluggis" eller som i arbetet: du ska inte tro att du kan mer än mig eller vet mer än mig.
    Och i samhället: du ska inte tro att du är mer värd än mig bara för du har dyrare bil, finare fru och finare utbildning.

    "It's typical Swedes"
    Jag tycker även att vi svenskar har oftast väldigt få bra argument när vi diskuterar eller argumenterar, visserligen är det från person till person, men om man tittar på normen av allt folk, politiker har sällan särskilt hållbara argument för saker och ting.
