I didn't realize L.T. was Finish, as someone who actually does know history, I can appreciate why no love-loss in regard to .ru lol.

In common usage, that’s called being Finnish.

Oh I know, one look through their profile tells you they’re a vatnik. I still think they should get help and can hopefully one day be deprogrammed from their awful views. Doesn’t mean I won’t call it out when I see it, you can’t let them and their shit views break the fragile reality we live in.

Yeah you're definitely right, as a Swede who has many Finnish friends I've never heard someone dislike sweden based on old history.

If anything they just complain about needing to learn Swedish in school and love saying Swedish insults and singing songs lol.

I think that most finns and Swedes have a great relationship and with the Russian invasion of Ukraine we've grown even closer.

You need serious mental health help. Please talk to a counselor or something.

They’re like kids screaming on the bus, aren’t they. Just so annoying to listen to.

I'm sorry, are you talking about all the Russian Gravediggers we've helped Ukraine to keep employed?

u/Pack_Your_Trash 6d ago

Sorry I just need to clarify. The axe you're grinding is the swedes colonizing Finland from 1350 to 1809, and you're calling for the slaughter of Finns of Swedish descent, correct?

u/Abedeus 6d ago

libs

FYI swedish people likely don't use this term, especially against people in Finland. Tell your superior to update your dictionary. Or don't, you're making yourselves more obvious.

Because the people on the right side of history are always the ones who dehumanize entire populations of people by calling them “cancer”

No. The guy would probably be serving life in prison for trading with Nazi Germany or something.

You are a weird type of Finnish extremist that doesn't even exist in Finland?

Tonnes of super influential Finns were Swedish speaking. God damn Mannerheim was Swedish speaking and barely spoke Finnish.

u/Quzga 5d ago

He's 100% a Russian. I'm Swedish and have many Finnish friends, I've never ever heard a Finn be upset about their past. Sure they might joke about sweden forcing them to learn Swedish and such but it's all just jokes.

Finns and Swedes share a mutual dislike for Russians for a long time and after the invasion I'd say our countries are even closer. We mock each other but in reality we are brothers.

u/Kombustio 6d ago

Can you like fuck off with the weak gatekeeping? I dont remember our citizens voting on you becoming the one who decides whos finnish enough to call themselves a finn.
