With a mindset like that, facts are secondary factors to emotions (anxiety, uncertainty, irritation...) which are the driving force behind the kind of thinking that has flared up as anti-immigration sentiment.

Hm thanks, the same as everywhere else then. I'm just confused how such sentiments can grow in a country which quite frankly doesn't have any immigrants to speak of. But it sounds like their hatered is more directed towards swede-finns (who must count as native finns by any standard right?) rather than actual immigrants. Is that true? | ||
