    Dude is Finnish, from his own mouth, it’s just normal racism against an aggressive imperial, like how people hate the us

    Edit: like how people from lemmy.ml hate Americans, if that wasn’t clear

      finland has pretty bad climate-change-exploitation-fucking-over-the-third-world dealings in my country, despite enforcing seemingly very good stuff inside their own borders so meh, id argue they aint close to the victims they make out to be. some would argue that as a consequence for having a strong socialist influence.

      i have mixed feelings about them as a country, but i recognize there are plenty of good (and even well known good) people on there because of the aforementioned good stuff, linus included. for different but not that dissimilar reasons i think contemporary russian citizens should not be blanket banned from helping everyone out.

            Can you find any links where one can read about this?

            If Finland is wasting tax payer money to something shady, it should be brought to the local media.

              heres one i found with a quick google.

              this one is about southeast/northeast brazil, but the finnish are involved in aggressive extractivism in northwest brazil (amazon rainforest) too, and i think its even worse over there. you will dig up pretty horrible things if you do some research on it. about most of the western 1st world countries tbh.
