    It’s super ironic that Suur-Suomi or Karjala takaisin is mostly a fantasy in the minds of nationalist fascists when Karelians were discriminated against when they fled the war back in the day, and reclaiming the territories now would grow the Finnish population with over 600 thousand Russian immigrants.

      We don’t actually want it back, thanks. A very poor zone without our expected infrastructure, and no Finnish people. It would just be friggin’ expensive and it’s not like we have a lack of land here. The average population density in Finland is 19 inhabitants per square kilometre (49/sq mi), making it the third most sparsely populated country in Europe.

      So nay to reclaiming something lost 80 years ago.
