Really funny too because it was the USSR that gave them their independence.
“They will never forgive us for it”
Try telling it to finnaboos. I bet you’d be able to see the results from space
Fascist 80 years ago, fascist today
Yep
Isn’t it weird how we’ve collectively gone back in time 50 years to the Cold War? It’s become more and more common to hear libs and conservative call each other commies, the Hammer and Sickle are being banned, and Capitalists talk about the Russian Federation like it’s the actual Soviet Union.
also isn’t it weird how communism is to blame for every problem in this society created by a hegemonic capitalist system?
Turns out class conflict is a real thing that emerges from material conditions and not just something the Soviets made up.
Who’d have thunk it
pretty funny in its own way that the fall of the soviet union didn’t end the cold war
Fascism requires an enemy.
this is more capitalism requires empire for the expansion of new markets
I’d argue we are going as far back as the 1920s, with the global economy on the verge of imploding, socialism becoming popular in western nations, and the increasing tolerance of fascism (even nazism) and anti-communism reaching dangerous levels.
One day very soon, something is going to wake people up to the reality that they’ve been so scared by Russia and China that they’ve opened the door for a new Nazi regime.
What a joke. The government consisting of neoliberals and nazis banning communist symbols, when the communist parties of Finland get like 0,1 % of the total vote every single election. Stalin should not have stopped at Tali-Ihantala.
Finland: Bootlicking fascists since 1939.
since 1939
Freedom and democracy. Free speech. Civilized world.
Right 😂
Fascists gonna fash
Heated NATO moment
I’d be lying if I said I was surprised
I’m only surprised it took them this long
stalin shouldn’t have stopped at berlin
He had attempted Finland already
Safe to say that banning the symbol of the people that defeated the Nazis probably makes you a Nazi
Well their air force flags literally still have swastikas in them. But no, hammers and sickles are the problem! Nazi scum nation.
Actually, they replaced it a few years ago with something that’s totally not a sonnenrad.
Fluffly sonnenrad lmao. Also why the hell there is even crown there
The whites really wanted to have a king, but weren’t allowed (because the Germans lost WW1). So they still simp for their imaginary king.
A certain intelligence community has been hard at work minimizing the contribution of the Soviets to ending WW2. It’s gotten so bad, I expect the next WW2 era first person shooter won’t be having a Russian campaign this time.

Nah they’ll have one but it’ll be about all of the destroyer battalions of the NKVD with you playing as Putin’s father burning Ukrainian villages with zero context in regards to why it was done.
It’s gotten so bad, I expect the next WW2 era first person shooter won’t be having a Russian campaign this time.
The next? Call of Duty: WWII already came out six years ago and only had an American campaign lol
It was honestly pretty hilarious how hard that one went into “America won WWII” territory when previous WWII ones were pretty good about showing how other countries made the bigger contributions (even with them still having biases and propaganda), most of them had a Russian campaign too
Then just make a new symbol, the sickle is not as representative today as it used to be when it was invented anyways, since agriculture is more industrialised now, at least in Finland.
Hammer and sickle is over ❌🙅 Time to use tractor and keyboard 🚜⌨️✅💪
I’m sympathetic to the Juche symbol as well.
They can’t ban stars and the color red, lmao. So long as those are around they’ll be good.
Don’t give them ideas.
Finland to declare war on space
They can ban anything they want. The cops and judges enforcing the law instinctively knows who to target and who to ignore.
The problem is that they’ll just ban the new symbol if it gains enough traction
Of course, but that’s dialectics for you. There is no eternally solved problem with no negative effects.
This maybe
Based.
I fucking love this symbol.
I’ve seen that symbol before, but I can’t remember where or when
It’s from Disco Elysium.
It’s always either Ukraine, Baltics, Finland or Poland, even Balkans, Hungary, Czech and Slovakia are silent, alwayse these bark 24/7.
The trufinns party demands the existence of falsefinns. Thank you liberals for allowing them to rule.
Few years ago they banned the swastika from their airforce
Actually no, they are still using it
CW: Swastika crap
Presidential flag of Finland:
The flag features Finland’s highest state-decoration, the cringely named “Cross of Liberty”
Notable recipients includes Hermann Göring and Heinrich Himmler.
Both the flag and the decoration is currently in active use by the Finnish state
More messed up is that it took them this long to do it
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Force_Academy_(Finland) The air force academy still has the swastica in its flag.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapland_Air_Command And many other units under finnish airforces
I regularly see people try to defend Finland using it because it predates nazism, but so what. Acknowledging it is forever tainted by association and that maybe they should distance themselves from it isn’t admitting some type of defeat.
People probably rocked Hitler moustaches before him too, but you don’t see people running around with them anymore (except one comedian in my country that I absolutely despise).
The guy that introduced the swastika to the air force in the first place was a prominent finnish nazi. So I’m pretty sure these things are more related than people like to admit.
