@socialjusticemunchkin has informed me that Finland manages to be a settler colonialist state without settling anywhere or colonizing anyone

which I feel is the triumph of Finnish introversion

figuring out how to oppress people without having to put on real pants or talk to strangers

grubhub for racism

according to Wikipedia finnish national identity was constructed along with all the other big euro ones in like the 19th century - can it be considered colonizing / settling places occupied by previously-existing groups e.g. sami

Yes it can, because it’s doing colonialist oppression to them. If it quacks like a duck, and tries to forcibly assimilate indigenous people after stealing their land like a duck, we don’t really care whether it was born a duck or just inherited its duckness from the monarchies that started that oppression.
