(I mean, at least in the Metropolitan area) Earlier I waited in line at a shop in Helsinki and behind me was a large group of schoolkids, all various people of colour and all speaking American English with each other. It's a fairly common occurrence in Eastern Helsinki and makes you feel like you're in the US or Canada
It's interesting how quick things have developed just since I was a kid
I think it's cool but it seems to cause Finnish boomers enormous existential anxiety of the Great Replacement variety
It wouldn’t be as big an issue if English wasn’t also a large source of foreign right-wing propaganda
imagine with me, if you will, a hundred a thousand a million small-to-middle-sized anti-Murdochs
be the source of foreign left-wing propaganda you want to see in the world
The US has been successful with propaganda without the usage of English for decades.
