Many Americans might be fascinated to see details about what it is like to be poor in Finland. How do people at the bottom of the economic ladder live? What is their housing like? What kind of schools do their kids attend? How do they pay their doctor bills? Why aren't they coming over here to the USA where we are Number One and immigrants get everything free? |

There is almost no poverty in Finland because most of the people there are Vikings.............

Lol, George..... Finnish men regularly gather to dance at the fire in the forests, to eat raw meat and to kill a bear in the first hunt, which is required for initiation of a common Finn... they wear skins and generally look like they were prior to becoming a part of Russian empire.... I did not watch this film to the end, it was beyond my capabilities, but I enjoyed the fact that Hollywood suddenly depicts Finns, not Russians as savages.... just for a change... ![]() though you, Jar, if you were not crazy, could look at yourself from aside - your perception of Russia is aproximately as true as this picture of Finland by Hollywood. ![]() The West is populated with illiterate zombies, 9/10 of all population, who feel comfortable to form their opinions mostly watching American movies and fake news.. ![]() ![]() Edited by Siberian, Jan 13 2018, 02:57 AM.

only 10% of population of Finland were vikings - Swedes, the rest - Finns, were slaves of the vikings. Until Russia liberated them and gave them statehood and other benefits of civilization....

And in your world, there's only source of problems: The foreign. |

The Winter War of 1939-1940 was classic Stalinist "liberation". Finns still recall it with loving gratitude. |

Vikings existed in about 800-1000 AD. The entire concept of Russia as a culture never existed in those times but in medieval times only. You are the discovery of later humans, obviously also intelligently and what comes to human understanding of us human beings Vikings never managed to invade this part of the land area, but some coastal areas were affected by that culture. |

developing this submission idea - you, Finns, like other US slaves and serfs which claim being hacked by Russians too - just want attention of your master. And this film, if it is written and directed by Finns - tries to catch attention of a common American being even more stupid, distorted, biased etc. Your Finnish film directors just knew what American perseption of the World is, but to be twice sure the film is accepted they decided to make the movie twice more stupid and weird than required and than Hollywood handcrafts usually are... It's utter complex of inferiority ![]() Your only and true European value is giving up any values for the safe bugs life... |

RT is regarded today as part of very typical Kremlin propaganda machinery, which you are either the advocate and/or victim of. The current Russian government is spending billions of rubles of Russian citizens' money to keep the machinery alive, to distant Russians from the realities of the world and blame the western world of all Russian internal problems. Like in human life, projecting the problems to something external instead of dealing with the problems, will never result to progressive development of oneself as a human being. Russia, including current EU countries such as Poland and Hungary, where the government is extremely conservative, which in today's world means the history of Europe with the discovery of nationalism - just a few hundreds of years of old one ideology and value - is trying to deal with the internal problems the same way, majorly from the economical point of reasons. Those values will not solve the problems in today's technologically advanced world but is just a futile escape to some historical era, which was never entirely like the history depicts. Russia's current Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, cannot either deal with the historical facts like which country started the Winter War, which was already admitted by Russian president in the 1990's. This news brings about that even Lavrov doesn't know how Putin wants to rewrite the history. The 100 year old Finland, as the thread is about, can already deal with the nationalism, although the events of 1918 is currently under much discussion in public and in places like museums. For instance, there are several words in the Finnish language how those events should be described (not all clearly translatable to English): Civil War, Internal War, Revolution, Brother/Sister against Brother/Sister War, Freedom War, Class War, Mutany, Red Mutany, Grofter Mutany... Unlike in today's Russia, we don't hide the problems, violence and negative aspects in the society happened in the past. Also, every person have the right to choose their version of the history, which itself is a democratical value as such. This is well seen also in the current presidential elections where these persons are on the first run: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_presidential_election,_2018' (BTW, Nils Torvalds is the father of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds ) ![]() If we would let the Basic Finns (now in opposition, as a dispersed political party) and other such parties to be "in control" of this country, we would be in a similar situation as Russia is today: All the internal problems would be because of other countries and cultures. |

FYI: I have an ongoing project in my work, which was started in 2015, when I was in Britain the last time (been there for about 5 months altogether since 1995...). I've seen a change in their attitude since the Brexit... They are rather noble these days even as colleagues. Britain has screwed it up, and most people already know it, especially those, who work in multi-national/global business sectors. |
