    So we’re just gonna ignore the rampant state repressions and murder of socialists and trade unionists under the Mannerheim dictatorship, we’re gonna ignore the contribution to the Siege of Leningrad which killed over a million civilians, we’re gonna ignore Finland’s massive problem with depression and suicide, we’re gonna ignore its steady dismantling of social safety nets under the last decades of neoliberal and so-called social democratic governments, we’re gonna ignore their participation in the US war in Afghanistan, we’re gonna ignore the rampant racism in Finland which has been well documented and reported both by migrants and locals…yeah if you just pretend Finland did nothing wrong ever and hide all its dark sides, then it is the perfect country…for the around three months of the year when the weather is nice.

        I’ll be honest out of all of those their Nazi Airforce flag is the thing that bothers me the least. Didn’t know that about their incest problems, but i guess with a population as small as Finland’s and with enough of them obsessed with “keeping the race pure” i suppose that was bound to happen.

        Wasn’t Iceland the one with the highest incest problem? Or is that old information now?

      rampant state repressions and murder of socialists and trade unionists under the Mannerheim dictatorship

      Poster likely thinks it to be a good thing

      contribution to the Siege of Leningrad which killed over a million civilians

      Judging by that last point about Russia? Also thinks it’s was good and justified.

      steady dismantling of social safety nets under the last decades of neoliberal and so-called social democratic governments

      “But they had safety nets! Much better than anywhere else in the wooorld!”

      participation in the US war in Afghanistan

      Probably also considers it a good thing.

      rampant racism in Finland which has been well documented and reported both by migrants and locals

      Either thinks it’s justified or exaggerated. Or “Russian propaganda”.

        Simo is so cool and loves peace, but the tankies tried to take his wholesome country away so he became the most badass sniper to save his people, the White Race!

          I still applaude the gigachad that managed to shoot and disable him.
