So this here is a perfect example of the brainworms that Finnish people walk around with.

Imagine having the guts to say this about the Karelian peoples that were indeed very much put into camps and killed during the war, by the Finns (nazis).

What even are “Finnish Karelians”? Maybe he means the basic finn kulaks and colonizers that the Soviets showed the door to? The ones that had spent decades in the area trying to finlandize the people, disappear their language and steal all their natural resources. The Nazi in chief Mannerheim famously lead little warring parties into the area all the way at the beginning of the century.

    Karelian pasties, Karelian pies or Karelian pirogs are traditional Finnish pasties or pirogs originating from the region of Karelia. They are eaten throughout Finland as well as in adjacent areas such as Estonia and Russian Karelia.

    The Finns even had to appropriate fuckin Karelian pasties for themselves. Worst thing since America stole French fries. (Sorta kidding, idk the history of that)
