>>65211363
Raiding unsuspecting coastal population centers was more of a Scandinavian thing.

>>65211372
Yeah, but the Finns were a part of that whole mess. To a lesser degree, so were various other tribes from Newfoundland, to the middle east, to north Africa.
All of them traded with the Scandinavians/vikings to one degree or another, some of them were ruled by viking warlords, some had a weird on/of relationship with the vikings, some of the tribesmen became mercenaries or raiders themselves and fought alongside the vikings.
That whole chapter of history is complicated and poorly documented.

>>65211406
Be it as it may but one has to ask how does a motorized steel tube filled with fighting men relate to Viking long boats apart from their shared ability to float on water and more importantly why are these later motorized steel tubes so popular?

>>65211942
Finns basically didn't emerge from the swamps before 1400 or so, and vikings were a much earlier thing. In fact vikings would probably have been raiding the finns if they had anything worth stealing but at the time all they had was squirrel skins.

>>65211951

id say the main things you can idolize the finns for is that they're generally too naive and simple to be really bad people. it's a country of peasants who are all content to grill and hope things work out somehow

however things often do not work out and we routinely get our asses kicked in this globalist world. no one wants to make anything cool or new for export because "its too risky", or even learn how to not sound like a retarded autistic asshole when speaking to foreign clients because idk stubbornness i guess. there are solutions to this country's problems but no one wants to commit to them because it might slightly inconvenience them or because the politicians are the same retarded peasant stock as the populace

>>65212927
Mixed race of multiple peoples which has become genetically homogenious distinct group over the centuries. Just like any nation state. Russias, laplanders, swedes and southern middle-european clans. Vepsäläiset, karjalaiset, swedes, and so on. I can't recall them all because it's so rarely asked.

It's not a grand mystery no more than the ethnic origins of brazilians, or any people of a national state. It's just that it generally becomes an inconvenient topic when politics become involved and as such is ignored. It's dumb that people keep insisting otherwise. But like I said, it's due to political reasons.

No. Finns were not vikings (swedish pirates/raiders) any more than, i don't know, italians were vikings. No raids occured because the coastline was sparsely populated and finns had nothing worth risking your life over(ie. compare their churches of that era to middle european churches), so instead the vikings settled on the coastline. Which leads to the effect of picking family lines to validate social standing and life choices, an act well known in US. In which, for example, a person with 1% native american genetics identifies as one.

Racism (all xenophobia really) is a natural impulse that is meant to protect your tribe from outside danger.
During modern times it has mixed effectiveness depending on your situation but for a first/second worlder encountering third worlders it is an amazingly good litmus test.
If you suppress a society's natural reflexes and socially engineer them to be welcoming of anyone, you not only make them highly vulnerable, you also make them neurotic because their innate reflexes are constantly fighting the NO! BAD BOY! learned responses to the "EW, ALIEN, STAY VIGILANT" impulse their brain is sending them.

desu finland does need skilled immigration to survive the consequences of its pension system pyramid scheme, but what it does not need is a horde of global south rejects with no skills or work ethic to speak of. as you said, finland is the last choice for any skilled immigrants because germany, france, spain etc all have better weather, better pay and the languages are easier to learn. and thus all finland gets is a bunch of "taxi drivers" and such, which have 0 chance of getting jobs and are a further drain on the economy.

i came up with some ideas how finland could pull itself out of this vicious loop of only getting retarded migrants and becoming poorer.

1) pull a singapore and make english an official language in the capital area. no need to learn some new gay language if you don't happen to speak it. english is fine. and then really market the helsinki as a place for high skill immigration

2) actually spend on stimulating the economy. find some new clients. speak proper english to them instead of garbled retarded sounding finglish. whine and lobby non-stop for EU gibs like spain and italy do.

3) completely and utterly gut the pension welfare subsidization shit from real economic activity like salaries and so on. make finns attractive to hire for outsourcing purposes (currently it is NOT attractive because of pensions draining like 25% of every transaction). put boomers on life support so the economy can grow

obviously none of this will ever happen because finns are exactly made up of the type these changes would cause the most short term pain to (retarded, stubborn elderly boomer types who can't into english and are too shy to ask for gibs or market themselves). so instead this country gets to become greece 2.0 in about 10-15 years

I like the Roman historian Tacitus's description of Fenni

>In wonderful savageness live the nation of the Fenni, and in beastly poverty, destitute of arms, of horses, and of homes; their food, the common herbs; their apparel, skins; their bed, the earth; their only hope in their arrows, which for want of iron they point with bones. Their common support they have from the chase, women as well as men; for with these the former wander up and down, and crave a portion of the prey. Nor other shelter have they even for their babes, against the violence of tempests and ravening beasts, than to cover them with the branches of trees twisted together; this a reception for the old men, and hither resort the young. Such a condition they judge happier than the painful occupation of cultivating the ground, than the labour of rearing houses than the agitations of hope and fear attending the defense of their own property or the seizing that of others. Secure against the designs of men, secure against the malignity of the Gods, they have accomplished a thing of infinite difficulty; that to them nothing remains even to be wished.

Yup, extra ass weight added in Finland, poorly teached water crossing procedures and a hunk of junk, that leaks gallons of water in straight from the factory, got 7 conscripts killed. It fell in ass first and laid upside down in the bottom of the lake. No one got out, as the hatches were blocked. Those that were on the deck jumped off and swam to other vehicles. I think it's still forbidden to swim with passengers during the peace time. Only the crew and a training officer are allowed.
