IIRC - USA is a lot more arbitrary and less interested in the customer safety (and open for bribery, sorry I mean lobbying) and USA also has a good amount of stuff for sale that’s not allowed in EU.
There’s quite a few articles and videos on the subject, but it’s been a long time since I read or watched any.
Not really commenting beyond the fact that you have a separate category for Russia/Ukraine and have lazerpig on it? I think he did like three maybe four videos on it. Max. And you didn’t even mention Perun…
Is it “controversial” to be a plagiarist now? Depending on how it’s done, it’s edging on a crime or a full blown crime, rather than controversy. I don’t really think there’s much to make an dispute about.
That said there’s certainly a lot drama about her, not that I’ve looked at any of it. So I am not in the know of anything that’s going on, beyond the plagiarism.
Just curious, is it a slur or a contraction? Like calling Finnish as “Finn” or Aboriginals as “Abo”? I mean, I’m Finnish and I don’t find the Finn as insulting. Not that I actually have a horse in this race but to me it sounded like a contraction of a word rather than a slur.
While your point remains somewhat valid, it’s not actually valid to say “native” in the same sense as “native Americans”.
There were a whole bunch of tribes in the area. Some were more influenced by Europe (swedes, Norwegians) and some less (Finns, Estonian, Sami). Surprise to no one, these tribes living in the southern regions were more successful (easier weather), so they expanded northward and thus rolled over the semi-nomadic Sami in a very nasty, but extremely historically common human way.
