    Look mate, all I’m saying is that Russia is saying the same things to their citizens. And Germans were saying the same things to theirs. And the Pope was saying the same things to the crusaders.

    Likewise, a country is just imaginary, made by the rich to separate who can exploit the people in a specific geography. By all means, fight for it, but just know you’re being played.

      Russia literally attack my country, Russian soldiers are pouring over the border, I’m about to join to defend it

      “You know Pope told the same thing to crusaders, besides countries are imaginary, why do you care if you live in your own country or as part of Russia under Putin. You are just being played.”

      Lmao, you people can’t be serious, this is beyond fucking stupid

          wants to defend my country from Russia literally attacking and trying to invade it

          “You do you mate”

          I’m in awe. This has been the best exchange I’ve had in quite some while. I’m almost too flabbergasted to laugh

                It’s alright mate, feel free to go die in a ditch so that the Finnish capitalists get to stay in power. It’s your human birthright to die for someone else’s 3rd yacht.

                  Dunno about anyone’s yacht but we Finns just don’t want to be under Russian rule and would be fighting against that.

                  Tbh I do prefer Finnish capitalism with democracy and freedom for us Finns to decide our own matters to being subjugated under Russian dictatorship and their oligarchic capitalism. Seems like the lesser of two weevils.

                  You seem to think there’s no difference between Finnish democratic capitalists in power and Russian oligarchical capitalists in power.

                    I am saying that everyone government is presenting themselves as the good guys and their geopolitical opponents as the bad guys. Y’all somehow think that this time only you’re impervious to it. Much like everyone else who in the history of humankind who got convinced to die for some king, lord or politician.
