So, since no-one seems to be talking about this outside of Sweden, and since I seem to become the blog for pissing on Sweden’s colonial policy, Swedish officials from Kronofogden have burned down the one of the Kåtor in which the Sàmi traditionally live. It’s owner, Anita Grimvall, raised it on the spot where her family had lived for literally hundreds of years, but she was sued by the council as an illegal building, and after a long legal battle she was evicted dramatically by tens of police officers, lighting her Kåta on fire. This follows many attempts by the non-reindeer keeping majority of the Sàmi population, who have not gotten any land-rights over their colonized possessions, to reclaim that which by right belongs to them.

It is a stark reminder that Sweden’s colonial policies are not over yet, and it reminds us of the worst days of burnings, conquest, and murder in the sordid history of Sweden.

JUSTICE FOR ANITA! SMASH COLONIALISM!

(Swedes and non-Swedes are encouraged to reblog, because no-one is talking about this)

I mean the Swedish government already indigenous Swedes, why wouldn’t they hate other indigenous minorities?

Do you have a point or are you just circulating alt-right memes?

samis are too white to be recognized as minorities by progressives, therefore their oppression willfall upon deaf ears

Shut the fuck up you dumbass. You have legitimately no idea what you are talking about.

come to Helsinki and say that to my face, jutku

Huh, I’ve never been called a Kike in Finnish before. Given that I’m, you know, a Gentile.

Nazi fucks assume everyone who insults them is secretly Jewish or being controlled by some stupid Jewish conspiracy. It’s like clockwork.
