#like yall get more worked up over being told that the poems in kalevala are karelian than the idea that u might be u know

[roakkaliha]

i need finns to realize that when they perpetuate this shit abt karelian things that have no evidence of exististing among finnish culture, they are effectively further deconnecting from their ancestors.

like i can almost quarantee u that ur ancestors have no fucking idea what ‘luonto itse henki’ are. ur ancestors most likely have never heard a single poem that kalevala is based on, they likely dont know who the hell väinämöinen is. they most likely have no clue what ur talking abt when u say anything abt ‘kuutar and päivätär’.

you are ironically doing p much what u criticize the swedes n christian church of doing. i believe that says a lot abt how much u actually care abt ‘keeping finnish paganism alive’.
