Mar. 29th FB post- NO feedback, no surprise

Wow...  The 'Soldiers of Odin'?!  Does Greece have a group of vigilantes called 'The Troops of Zeus' as well?
I can't say I am privy to the state of affairs in Finland- or Europe in general- but this 'Be Afraid Of Anything Different' rhetoric (which is sweeping America like an out of control wildfire as well) is just that- out of control.
Yes, there are good people and bad people. But the sooner we all (good, bad, and otherwise) catch on to the fact that we ALL are the same... Earthlings... the sooner we're all going to have a chance of not having humanity die out by our own hand.
This is exactly why I don't watch television. Now the hate & fearmongering is infecting Social Media just as badly.  It makes me very sad because I enjoy coming on here to keep up with my friends and relatives.  But over half of what I see contains the words Democrats, liberals, libtards, Republicans, RepubliKKKans, something involving the 2nd Amendment for or against guns, the NRA, or a plethora of other negative, 'Be Very Afraid' propaganda.
I'm not some idiotic, naive Pollyanna, but would it really be that difficult to just get along with each other for a day?  Turn off the TV and take your kids to the park?  Go out to eat at a restaurant serving not-your-ethnicities' food? (No, they will not sneak cat into your chop suey... unless you've specifically ordered it like that).  Go out and enjoy nature... or what's left of it at least, that hasn't been oversprayed with pesticides or herbicides, mined, killed, or clear-cut?  Or just kick back and read a non-political/non-Armageddon/non-aggressive book?  You can all do it... I KNOW that you can (or you wouldn't be on my friend list).... I have faith in you.
Now... HAVE A NICE, FEAR-FREE DAY!!!!
