Do you think the entire Russian population is scheming against Finland? Because they're not. The shitty ass government and the Russian people are not synonymous with one another.

Over 80 % of Russians support the war in Ukraine. This whole 'Putin isnt the Russian population' is just an excuse to not look like a country of fachists. Germany after WW2 did the same.

Just because propaganda is effective doesn't mean you should dehumanize them. They're people just like you and me. Hell, after 9/11, I'm pretty sure like 80% of the U.S. supported invading Iraq... just depends on where you are, and what information you are being fed.

Obviously it's not the people's fault that their government keeps using them as an excuse to invade their neighbors. That doesn't mean their neighbors need to be fucking idiots and load a gun, point it at their own head, and say pweetty pwease don't pull it.

Of course not. I also didn't think every single person I ran into had Covid. That didn't mean I would shake hands with anyone offering.

But either way, it still doesn't change the problem with housing and work.
