This is also still framed as not the swastika: I and everyone I know have asked the serious adults when we were kids: "Why is there a swastika in the air force flag?"

And we have all gotten the same splain about how it: "AcHuAlly is not the swastika at all, because it is the other way around and has been used here far longer and for other reasons than the nazis used it, so it's different."

This is even taught this way in schools. Whatever it takes to keep history buried.

I sometimes struggle to communicate how thoroughly history and all actual events have been disappeared from consciousness here, but this is a good example.

I hate living in America but everything I hear about Finland makes me think I would have lost my mind if I had to grow up there. It's self-image just seems like such a complete fantasy built on top of such a huge obvious historical bedrock of evil and, but you're considered the childish naive dumbass for refusing to play pretend atop the bones.
