If I was given a chance to emigrate to Finland, I would jump at the chance. I might be willing to emigrate to Norway. Possibly Czechia, Slovakia, or Hungary.

I'm very much a pro-2A kind of anarchist/libertarian socialist; there are not many countries that preserve the individual right to keep and bear arms while also having state-level socialist policies.

With agressive and paranoid attitudes like that, and in your other comments, youre better off staying in the states. We dont need that bs here.

Respectfully, a Finn.

Don't y'all still have a blackface festival anyway; or am I thinking of one of your neighbors?

You're thinking of the Dutch.

Having spoken to a number of other Finns, my attitudes aren't that far off from them.

PS - Russians are at your doorstep, and you think that not being armed is a good idea? Does Continuation War Pt. II sound like a good idea to you?

Having a total defence doctrine does not equal 2A fetishism and paranoia towards governments. Sorry, youre a moron, and morons are not welcome to Finland. Larp your power fantasies in the states, that kind of bs is frowned upon here.
