    Look who was constantly working for the independence of Finland from the Russian Empire (bolsheviks), look who actually did helped and allowed Finland to become independent (bolsheviks), look what happened in Finland after independence (revolution was drowned in blood by protofascists), look who supported white army general Yudenich invasion of RSFSR (Finland plus Estonia and UK), look who supported head white general Kolchak even though Kolchak explicitly denied Finland independence (Finnish “hero” Mannerheim).

    Finnish counterrevolutionary romance, or more actually marriage with fascism didn’t started in 1940, it started in 1917 by attacking communists with the help of every protofash possible.

      I didn’t say that the dislike for the symbol was rational; I just said that I understand how people could come to dislike it.

        You mean, except over century of being governed and/or allied by fascists?
