Finland is also a fucking joke.
Reminds me of the time that Madventures bros were in India, talking to a local policeman, and said "Finland is said to be the least corrupt nation in the world" and the Indian policeman laughed so heartily into his moustache I almost fell off my chair.
You can do all of the shit mentioned in the post without getting the consequences.
Which country did the policeman think was less corrupt if we rank so low in his opinion?
Youre genuinely asking me what some person I saw on TV thinks? How would I know? Even Professor X would have trouble reading someone's mind through TV.
The point is the blind faith in that there's no corruption, which is kept up by corruption.
I too used to think you we have just the most wonderful country. Then I grew up. You wouldn't believe half the shit I can tell you about corruption in Finland, but here's something at least you'll find challenging to refute, as there's supreme court documents on it.

That article is about me. I have the original video to prove it. And that's basically the mildest offence they did that day, and it only saw consequences because I actually had the video. The video and photos the cops had of everything magically vanished when I wanted them to be brought to court.
I'm pointing how silly it was of him to laugh about it.
It's least corrupted country. It's a comparative to other countries, always has been. If someone misunderstands that to mean that there's no corruption then that's on them.
Now I know you’re a Russian shill. What an insane claim.
The only Russian shill spreading misinformation here is you, Ivan. Go back to Kamchatka.
You reported him based on him stating an opinion. I ought to ban you for making me click a button.
Simply: the "report" button is not for this function. I am a lazy and malicious mod. Don't make me do work.
Russian disinformation bots do express opinions I guess, so you have a point.
I did browse his profile to see what you were getting at, and I couldn't find anything supporting this claim. If you have examples, great - I am open-minded and willing to change a stance. I'm not, however, doing a deep dive into a Lemmy user's past history. I don't like virtual fishing expeditions, and found this kind of 'gotcha-ism' is what made Reddit so toxic.
Further, even if this person is moderately pro-russian, as long as they aren't actively condoning the invasion of Ukraine, or actually spreading propaganda, that's ok in my book. People are welcome to their opinions, and there many, many, shades of grey.
I'll save you time. I'm Finnish, an NCO in the army reserves. I'll DM you my sotilaspassi if you want to, lol.
He just simply doesn't like me, and hasn't the werewithall to actually compose an argument of any type. If you look at his profile, you'll see it's filled with "now I know you're an X troll" comments. His lack of imagination is — as the kids say — cringe.
I'm in no way pro-Russian. I actually had a point in my comment. Something I can back up with legally documented personal experiences. I think he just simps Finland and doesn't actually know what goes around here, so he leaves those asinine oneliners.
No need for that. They are clearly and edgelord, and I'm calling them out on it. Don't let this guy ruin your day.
Lol there's nothing he could say or do that would ruin my day.
I've basically been doing this shit (as in forums) since 2001. This isn't my first rodeo, but thank you kindly for caring, herr moderator. tips fedora
Yeah. Must be.
Can't be that you, an American, would be ignorant of what is going on in other countries. That would simply be unheard of. /s
Here's some aftermath of my personal experience.

Obviously you're gonna need to use a translator, as even though I can communicate in your language, you can't do so in mine.
