I hope your realise that people can understand why others think in a certain way without agreeing with that way of thinking. You seem to think that because I said that I can understand why Finnish people might not like the hammer and sickle, I must therefore support banning it. I don’t.
It doesn’t matter what you intended to do. You ended up defending Finland’s decision. People are not going to pour over your background and study your life in details to say “NateNate60 is a swell guy”. They’re going to read your previous comment and say yeah, you defended Finland banning communist symbols because they allied with the nazis 80 years ago and are still salty about getting their ass handed to them when they joined in the siege of Leningrad.
Curiously, liberals always try to “put in the shoes” of the fascists but never of the commies.
