Germany's government banned former Valve Economist Varoufakis from speaking in Germany. That's very concerning. I repeat, what the heck is happening in Germany.

West Germany was never denazified and later annexed East Germany.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

Not that anyone should need a historical reason to oppose colonialism, but I don't there is much of a historical to do so for a Finn? Finland wasn't a colony except in the vaguest "was ruled by others" standard?

3d Megadoodoo should be congratulated for making a joke that implies Putin is not the source of all the world's ills. It is one step on a path to realizing a conflict with about 10,000 confirmed civilian deaths after two years is probably not a genocide.

Finland believes it was a Swedish colony.

I'm sure anti-Russian sentiment is currently reshaping their time as part of the Russian empire into a colonial relationship also.

Many Finns believe that yeah but I don't think you can find that, either that Finland was a colony of Sweden or of Russia, in any textbook or history book. It's more like a sentiment found among nationalists out of resentment for Sweden and/or Russia.

Under both Sweden and Russia, Finns had pretty much equal rights or greater rights than the rest of the population. Under the Swedes, Finns have the same voting rights as the rest of Sweden, and under the Russians, the Grand Dutchy was largely autonomous with its own parliament, and there was never serfdom. If they were colonies, it was mostly administrative in the sense they simply weren't independent.

You could argue the same for the Baltic SSRs, if anything a lot of Balts were doing better than the Russian factory workers that had been brought it, which they now mercilessly discriminate against.
