The philosophy of the Finnish speaking Finnish culture

[M1KZUP]

I hope this vid is a bad joke by someone who wants to make people upset. Can someone really think this kind of stuff?

1. The text goes too fast, to think is a slower project. - 2. Why Finns and Swedes, let us try with a German and an Englishman. 3. Why is being shy a crime? 4. Labelling is a bit ugly thing. 5. There is not a big difference between the cultures of the two countries. I'd claim that they are most like each other in the whole world. 6. I don not like the base of the Perussuomalaiset idea. No one is a "Real Finn" as we are a mixture of all the folk in the world. Basicly, we are all from Africa.

@Svansakuten So that was a Swedish speaking Finn writing, one who identifies with the Swedish culture and not with Finnish, no wonder that he sees no difference between what he copies from Sweden and Swedish ways! The Finnish speaking Finnish culture is a different thing, a different nation!

[TheMStatic]

we are all just humans...

[charlotttaaa]

I'm a swedish speaking finn, and this is all absolute bullshit.

[khtervola]

@charlotttaaa What I am saying is true, you are bullshitting yourself. The Swedish speaking Finns are faithful to Sweden and not to Finns. Stop lying and move to Sweden!

[charlotttaaa]

@khtervola haaaa, what the actual fuck. my mum's "proper finnish", my dad's a swedish speaking finn. and erm, I "hate" sweden for exactly the same reasons as you do. you are welcome to go fuck yourself, bye.

@khtervola wtf

Besides the Finnish beeing very strong fysically and mentally: also a lot of finnish speaking finns are narrow-minded. And tend to judge "other" people very easily. My family on mothers side are Finnish speaking finns. I love my Finnish roots, but let's not pretend it's a perfect people as a whole.

[khtervola]

@solliebollie78 Finns are not narrow-minded but we Finns take the major things in life (like staying alive, happiness, health, the rights of children etc., responsible behaviour in the major matters of the world and of life) very seriously i.e. realistically and get angry of someone ruins the life of another. "Live and let others live!" is the rule that we live by and that allows lots of freedom of opinion, but Finns do value sincere communication from human to human.

[solliebollie78]

@khtervola My mom is from Lappeenranta, when I'm there, it surprises me how much racism is going on and homofobic youth there is. I am NOT saying ALL finnish speaking Finns think like that. I LOVE Suomi and I love the strong mentality that kept the Finns going dispite years of oppression under the Swedish and Russians. Also I have seen the spirituality of the Finns. But judging a whole group (swedish) without exception IS narrow-minded. My opinion. Rauha.

[khtervola]

@solliebollie78 I was talking about the difference between Finnsih and Swedish CULTURES and not between every single individual in them. There is a clear difference: the Finnish speaking ones understand things by themselves while the Swedish speaking ones (and most foreigners) are more formal in social ways and have only memorized things taught in school.

[solliebollie78]

@khtervola Oh okay... Understood. So, likely not only my soul is one that can't stand (false) authorothy.. But it's also in my blood not to just accept what they try to teach in school as a truth, caus I never did, I was horrible for most teachers. Okay, now I understand what you are saying. I don't know enough about the Swedish (and others) to agree or disagree about CULTURE. Kiipis!

[solliebollie78]

@solliebollie78 Hahahaha.. all those times I asked "why is that so? How do you know? How do I know it is true? Why is 2+2 not 3? Not possible? 400 years ago people who believed man would one day build a machine to fly where considered creazy, so yes I believe everything IS possible".. They kicked me out of 3 schools for mainly this reasond, always asking, never asuming.. Lol.. Now, you made me laugh khtervola :)

[YelDohan]

I don't thing labelling a whole group of people according to their language can possibly be right in any way.

I speak Chinese by the way.

[datzfast]

813 views mean the rest of the world could give a shit less about all of you.

[destelmar]

There must be a lot of Swedish people living in my country, too. Just kidding! This lesson applies to every country.

[khtervola]

I cannot help getting the impression that whoever gave this video just one star, was Swedish speaking (either a Finn or a Swede). As a Finnish speaking Finn I know my own culture well.

[VerityVulpes]

@khtervola yeah, it's your very own one person culture.
