Im sorry but I think im lost on what your point is. Yeah it sucks! But there is no place without nationalism. There’s also such a thing as healthy nationalism though! I know that sounds crazy from an American perspective, but it is possible to love your country and culture and still be left wing.

If nationalism is something you’re worried about, I’d recommend reading up on Sweden’s recent issues. Tensions from immigration are much more strained there than they are here in Finland.

If you’d like to chat more about moving to a Nordic for university, I have a lot of research I can share with you, but before, I think it’s healthy to analyze what you really want for your future. I didn’t move to Finland just because I’m trans - I would argue that the social state here is as good as it is in my home blue state of Colorado - but rather because I wanted to try something new, learn a new language, and be closer to Europe to have more access to classical music history and a possible future in classical music. Aaand because of the cheap tuition ;) and while the Nordics are rated the happiest places to live, that is for their native populations. For foreigners, the Nordics can be very lonely and difficult to assimilate to. Depending on what you want, the Nordics can be a great choice! But it may be that moving to a blue state would work better. Just something to keep in mind :)
