The country that was a Nazi ally and didn't drop the swastika from their air force insignia until 2025? Finland the country currently implementing mass austerity while giving tax cuts to the rich? That Finland?
The Finnish Air Force swastika is such an interesting case to me, because the moment you do a google for "Finnish air force swastika", you are blasted with rationalizations: "predates nazism", "good luck charm", "innocent", "unrelated to Hitler". You get blasted with rationalizations before you can even see the history: which is that the innocent wholesome chungus dude who brought the swastika was Hermann Göring's brother in law lol.
