        it was, by the soviets in ww2.

        it’s just that the fascist ideology has been resurfacing ever since the soviet union collapsed

          Maybe they were I just find this hard to believe given they were flying swastikas as late as 2023 in their air force.

            most people saw it as a symbol from the pre-nazi era and brushed over the fact that the symbol’s “donor” ended up as a nazi later.

            thats at least what i feel like and what i want to believe. maybe its just copium

            i think most people here didn’t and still don’t even know about this fact, i didn’t either, until i shifted far to the left

        i was thinking of joining that instance since im finnish but saw the “no nazis, qanon, incels or similar whackos” rule and figured that probably includes everyone to the left of the left alliance

        interesting to see people from that instance are just blatantly posting racist shit elsewhere lol

        seems like joining .ml instead was a good idea

          and then i’m instantly proven wrong by one of the good ones. not all finns are as stupid or evil as it seems online (i should know, i’m finnish also)

          but yeah, i wouldn’t bother with that place. they seem to still harbor their liberal brain worms and western chauvinistic tendencies over there. i suggest lemmygrad and hexbear also for a more nuanced experience, though discourse in finnish seems light

            yeah.

            i do visit their suomi (finland) and arkisuomi (every day finland) sublemmies cus they seem fine for now, cus there aren’t really any other finnish spaces here and seem mostly fine, at least for now

            but the moment i start seeing shit like this from the sopuli user im noping the fuck out lol
