For instance think of how much we Finns fought Russians, when we started with practically nothing to defend ourselves with.
I’m sorry, but now I need to tell you my favorite joke about Finns! I promise this one isn’t racist! (Of course as an Estonian I know a few semi-friendly semi-racist Finnish jokes too, but I’m going to keep those to myself)
In the Winter war, a large Russian platoon makes camp near a forest in Finland. As the long northern night starts taking hold, they hear a voice from the forest: “Come and get meeee, I’m all aloneeee!”
The Russian commanders discuss this and decide that they can’t take a risk, so they send ten men out to counter the one. None return and an hour later they hear again: “I’m still alone! Come and get meeeee!”
They decide that the Russian army must not be mocked this way and send a hundred men. None return again. Once they hear the voice a third time another hour later, they get pissed and send a thousand men.
One man returns, scared for his life, all bloody. He yells out: “Don’t listen to him! There’s two of them in there!”
Lemmy being as small as it is and me liking this joke as much as I do, I may literally have replied it to one of your comments before. If not on this account, then on my old lemm.ee account perhaps

Yeah I’ve heard this one before and I like it.

May be, may be. But also the whole “one Finn equals ten Russians” meme has been around longer than living memory.
