Region Päijät-Häme, Tavastia by the lake Päijänne. In the article, however, they dropped the dots, resulting in Paijat-Hame... Meaning "shirts-skirt". Thanks for the laugh.

Also race war? In Finland? They do realize there's not that many people with foreign background anyways...? 🤨

Unfortunately that doesn't keep fascist terrorists from murdering people. Breivik murdered 70 very much Norwegian teenagers because he blamed them for his insane replacement theory. That he apparently couldn't find enough brown people in one spot, that he claimed to be replacing the Norwegian people didn't get him to rethink his ideology.

That is also why it is so important to fight any form of discrimination and stand against all hate. Giving in to hate in one specific instance will inadvertly lead to more hate and violence for everyone.

Yes, unfortunately on the internet, these conspiracy theories and such spread. These people are beyond delusional

He was happy enough to just be killing people who didn't have right leaning political views, which is thankfully still most people.

Yeah, it's a real shocker that a society that good at keeping "others" out is racist... 🙄
What isn't a shocker, is that it comes as a shock to you..

Lmao are you seriously trying to imply there's some conspiracy in the Finnish society to keep "others" out instead of the fact that Finland was a poor shithole until relatively recently and people only really started moving in during the 90s which is also comparatively late
