As a finn, i would love nothing more than this to be true, but this is just classic cope + delusion. The public toilets (and these days also parks) are filled with drug needles and trash, shopping malls are filled with 'idle' immigrants, there's constant more and more retarded union strikes and "cultural problems", all this while the government is trying to distract everyone with "muh racism!!!" while making every choice to cater to their and their cousin's businesses, sometimes going completely against their party's natural beliefs.
It's a prime example of """"1st world country"""" that is on the road to destruction just like Sweden. Finland is very little better than Russia. It's the same spineless genes here and almost exact same mentality. Everything gets broken and no-one has the spine to fix it. Everything is solved by people isolating themselves from wrongdoers, not isolating the wrongdoers.
It's just that by some luck we've had some successful people born here that people have completely deluded view of our country (including finns themselves).
As mentioned earlier in the thread, the sensible young men (the 1%) learns Japanese because they either want to go all-in hikikomori to ignore this or move the fuck out of here.

They never were, I just didn't know any better

I'd say late-2000s, the 2007 meme is accurate
