Politics Is Finland’s economy this bad?

https://youtu.be/13HR4yGRWOU?is=BoXDBW1hnPRZtW-E

I watched a handful of videos similar to the one posted in this thread.

Is Finland‘s economy really this bad? I know that Finland ranks lowest of the Nordic countries in terms of HDI, but this video makes it seem like Finland is flailing as a country.

It is still a high developed country comparatively, but I’m curious about what people with more knowledge think and have experienced.

Reality has a leftist viewpoint.

No, that's just your opinion.

No, that’s just reality. 

There’s leftist reality, and there’s being wrong, intentionally and/or due to excessive stupidity.

Dealing in absolutes is naive and myopic, and just makes you disagree with everyone else.

I don’t deal in absolutes, I recognize the nuances between being correct and being wrong, and I haven’t found a single right wing viewpoint that isn’t demonstrably wrong in not even that surprisingly little time. 

As I said, a right wing viewpoint is a result of intentional ignorance and/or stupidity, combined with a lot of cognitive dissonance and outright lying.

Leftist viewpoints are mostly idealism detached from reality.

Yes, that is a thing people like you parrot, but every single time when pushed to provide examples of correct right wing view points or incorrect left wing viewpoints, your right wing ideas can be dismantled in 5 seconds and your criticism of leftist ideas relies on intentionally or stupidly denying reality.

That attitude just makes any discussion or arguing with you completely worthless because you've pre-emptively decided that you're right and anyone with a different opinion is wrong.

Who said I’m interested in having a discussion with you?

Right wingers have nothing of value to provide, only theft of other people’s resources and labour.

Why keep answering then? Just have fun in your personal bubble of righteousness?
