A Sami forum?

[SuuT]

Having a Sámi subforum in an European Preservation forum is exactly analagous to having a Native American subforum in an American Preservation forum... follow?

If there were any actual Sámi here, they would be the first to tell everyone how they are not in any way, shape or form European (or Scandinavian) inbetween posts bitching about Nordic land-use policies.

The best we would get are people with some Sámi ancestry who play both sides of the fence of quasi-assimilationism; and/or the under 30 set who have undergone Nordic re-education and flutter-about stoned on pseudo-egalitarianism.


So if everyone is cool with all of that then, well, there you have it, lol - fire away.

Yes, it would seem to make total sense.

As if the Sámis have lesser claim to the land? Wow, you know what happens when you invite Croats, Serbs and Bosnians to the same place? It gets a lot uglier than having Sámi and Swedes in the same place, I can tell you..

I support the forum, if only because it would be nice to have Elfboy post his numerous topics about them in one place.

I don't think that analogy works at all. The histories of the Sami and the native American peoples are completely different, as are their current circumstances. Granted, I'm not a Sami and I don't know how they think (Finland is a relatively large country in geographical terms, and I live in the opposite end from them), but in this country at least they already are assimilated into mainstream society, and there's never been any major conflicts between them and Finns.

Any of them here?

Actually most Sámi view themselves as indigenous Europeans.

Erm, how long have the Sami been living in Europe? My guess is that they're definitely European enough.

It has nothing to do with land 'claims', nothing to do with whether or not the Sámi are good, bad, or indifferent as people; nothing to do with the capacity for Sámi people to get on with one another or Nordics, nothing to do physical conflicts of any sort. It has everything, however, to do with the idea of respective Nordic countries' Cultural Continuity, and the notion of Preservation, itself. This is about critical thinking.

Such responses, if I'm being honest, are exactly indicative of Nordic re-education, and European re-education more generally: Your first reactions were to assert the 'okay-ness' of the Sámi, or to cite their presence in geographic Europe/Scandinavia, etc., instead of not only what it is that I said, but - by extension - the notion of Preservation as it applies to Nordic Cultural Continuity, as well the Cultural Continuity of the Sámi themselves.

Again, what we would get from real Sámi would be anti-"THE MAN" sort of stuff. The remainder would be byproduct of the very things that I would hope we are for the most against, such as cultural and ethnic assimilation into relative oneness.

The Sámi are 'European' or 'Scandinavian' or 'Finnish' only in the strictist geographic sense. A sense that was and is imposed on them, I might add (which they would also be the first to say).


lol but seriously, I ultimately don't care if there is a Gypsy sub-forum here, either. I just find it mindnumbingly... ironic.

Fixed.

Sámis have no agenda, but they are included in the agenda of the cultural marxists - and you are right, the role reserved to them is similar to that of the native Americans in the US, because as we know, cultural marxism became dominant in Europe through American influence. Most White Americans today have been completely re-educated, as has a significant share of Europeans. What are they doing on this forum? What are you and your countrymen doing on this forum? Are you sure you're not just white liberals who want to turn our countries into multiracial hellholes like your "own"?
