One woman seemed to be pretty confident in her theory on why ‘Finland is not a real country’ and people in the comments under her claim started losing it.
She was in a street interview
The woman expressed her wild theory in what seemed to be a street interview posted on TikTok.
Although the interviewer’s question wasn’t included in the video, it appears she was asked something along the lines of a question on conspiracy theories.
The woman shared her theory
In the video, she starts off her argument by saying, “Finland is not a real country. It’s just a guise set up by the country of Japan so that they can do free fishing in the area.”
It’s a pretty wild idea
The woman went on, “So, on maps you’ll see the country Finland, but if you go there, it’s not, there is no country. It’s just the ocean.”
The interviewer then asked her, “What about all the Finnish people?” to which she replied, “The Finnish people? They’re really Swedish.”
The theory originates from a Reddit thread
This conspiracy theory was originally a joke thread on Reddit which seems to have since reached a few people outside of its target audience.
