Finnish guy here. The whole nation has been thrown in the middle of racist debate in the past year. One of the ruling political parties is a far right populist party who have strifed to normalize racism while they’re in power. There are actual nazi affiliated people there. It’s a fucking shitshow where they lie to coax normal people into rage against immigrants and it seems to be working with those poor suckers. It hasn’t been a good year, far from it, but at least common everyday racism has been outed and is condemned by the majority.

I disagree. They should put christmas lights on every damn palmtree available.

Where I’m from most shops loan you a temporary vehicle while they work on your car. You only need to top the tank when you tske it back. Very convenient. Not that I could even afford to own a car myself.
