Maybe it’s just the groups I follow but Finland has had pro-Palestine protests basically every week. They’re pretty small, but I could see an artist or two coming from that crowd
I’m mostly just joking around, I don’t know much about Finland other than “The Axis member who didn’t get bad press for it,” I live in the Great Satan and there are decent people even here.
Man, that’s a lot of words for “Finland was a member of the Anti-Comintern Pact that was allied to Nazi Germany during the Holocaust, which they knew about because they saw Germany summarily execute people for being Jews.”
This is a communist community, “Look they weren’t really antisemitic, they just hated communists sooooo much that they had to ally with the Nazis” isn’t going to play well.
driving them to need to to turn to the Nazis for support
Bullshit. Finland allied with the Nazis after the Winter War, and the Continuation War was started by Finland and Nazi Germany invading the USSR. There’s no excuse to be made for Finland allying with the Nazis, even though many try.
Thought it was a Leftist Unity/Inclusivity instance. Has that changed? Seriously asking because the support of LGBTQ+ folks and anti-sectarianism policies have been major draws for my appreciation of Hexbear.
I didn’t say it was a Marxist-Leninist community (though that’s the bulk of the people here), I said it was a communist community. Most anarchists are communists. Anti-communists of any stripe tend to be (rightfully) ridiculed and bullied until they leave.
“They had to help the Nazis in the middle of the Holocaust, because they were just so anti-communists” is such a stupid, liberal defense of Finland’s efforts in WW2.
driving them to need to to turn to the Nazis for support.
Anyone allied to Hitler in WW2 should be executed.
Defending it and calling it a necessity is gross.
The earlier suggestion that the Finns were opposing Israel due to anti-semitism doesn’t seem to hold water with historical context. Unless there is evidence otherwise, such a claim is just more unnecessary misinformation that doesn’t really help anyone.
The Finnish ones just hate Jewish people
I was gonna say, Finland going anti-Israel is gonna be the first time the “X-country is just antisemitic!” accusations are true

The average Finn isn’t likely to be anti-semitic. They make up for it by being incredibly racist towards Roma, black people and Muslims
Do they even have any Jews in Finland to hate in the first place?
Well not anymore.
