Yeah, no Janteloven is absolutely toxic and should not stand as an example of anything. It was written as a commentary on social control and backwardsness in Denmark in the early 20th century. The commandments are as follows (with my own translation of meaning, not words):
“Du skal ikke tro, du er noget.”
Don’t you believe in yourself
“Du skal ikke tro, at du er lige så meget som os.”
Don’t you believe you are as good as us
“Du skal ikke tro, at du er klogere end os.”
Don’t you believe you are as smart as us
“Du skal ikke bilde dig ind, at du er bedre end os.”
