Finland Just Gave the Middle Finger to America, Thailand and Solanas (Dirty Rotten Finland Series)
What’s annoying to me — and should be annoying to the people of Thailand, and the government of Thailand, and the royalty of Thailand — is that a country of five million people — Finland is a small country, doesn’t have a lot of people — had the audacity to try to carry out an assassination on your soil.
They tried to kill an American journalist and make it look like an accident in your country.
A small, tiny country of Finland basically just gave the middle finger to all of the Thai military, to all of the Thai royal family, to all of the Thai people.
I mean, I like Thailand. I like people in Thailand. I love Thai food. I love Thai iced tea.
I’m not Thai, but I am insulted on behalf of Thailand that this small, tiny Eastern European country — because Finland doesn’t operate like a Nordic country. Finland is right next door to Russia. It used to be part of the USSR. It acts like an Eastern European country.
And as someone who’s been to Finland, it looks like an Eastern European country. It feels like an Eastern European country. It is an Eastern European country.
So the fact that this tiny, Eastern European, neo-Nazi country had the audacity to try to carry out a hit in Thailand, the Land of Smiles, is an insult to every Thai person, to the Thai government, to the Thai military, and to the Thai royal family.
And let’s not even get started on the fact that they tried to take out an American. The country I come from has 350 million people.
Your country, Finland, isn’t even large enough to compete with some of our biggest cities. New York City has more people than your whole entire country does.
You had the audacity to try to kill an American journalist who hails from a country of three hundred and fifty million people.
And then let’s go even further.
I’m Solana.
Solana is the Divine name for my people. My people being formerly known as Black American, African American, etc.
So I’m Solana. The number of Solanas in this world dwarfs the number of people in Finland. There are approximately 60 million Solanas in this world.
You had the audacity to mess with a Solana. You had the audacity to mess with an American. And you had the audacity to mess with Thailand.
All of whom have populations that are massively bigger than yours.
All of whom have GDPs that are massively bigger than yours.
The fact that this small, tiny, corrupt, neo-Nazi country had the audacity to mess with Thailand, to mess with America, and to mess with Solanas is jarring.
And the biggest thing that it is messing with is the Divine.
The Divine knew everything you were planning. The Divine saw everything you were doing.
In another episode, I’m going to talk about why the Divine allowed this to happen. Why did the Divine let this happen to me, and why am I not overly upset about it?
I will talk about that in an upcoming episode.
