Debbie does Dallas would've been a rather mediocre high school drama without the sex scenes.

They are largely pro-Ukraine due to some happy accidents and Finnish history, that might be the reason.

No, actually...

... but seriously, the Internet is so different from real life that no comparisons make sense. Opinions that would have been uttered by the craziest village idiots in a local gas station 30 years ago are now distributed and magnified by the social media machine. In the past, you could see with your eyes, hear with your ears and even smell with your nose which people you really really should not listen to, but in the internet, those people look exactly like you and me.

And it's all sapping your energy and time, the most precious resources you have.

That's why blocking is fine, even whole instances if they are shown to be crazy enough.

Also, I would like to point out that the creators of the clients for the first community platforms (usenet) recognized early on the importance of shutting people up (killfiles).

Save your sanity and do Settings -> Blocks -> Block instance -> lemmy.ml

Also perhaps block me if you strongly disagree with the above.

Not sure if being against Russian aggression can be called a "political belief" as nearly all Finns pretty much agree on it.

I'm not sure if you're kidding, so I'll just note that Finland and Iceland are NATO member states, and Finland is notoriously against Russian aggressions due to history.

Was he lying back then and is truthful now, or did the pandemic just break him?

Harris moves to the left on domestic economic issues, and boomers switch to her.

You might be making a classical correlation is not causation mistake here. There are a lot of separate reasons to prefer Harris over Trump.
