We have a country wide hostage situation going on in Finland.
The nazi government is lying, threatening and pushing through never before seen capacity of austerity measures that will not only cripple the economy and shatter peaceful society, but also push finnish people into poverty and uncertainty. #fascism #politics #politicsFI #finland #gunViolence #naziGovernment #austerity #corruption #basicFinns #BasicFinnNazis #nazis
A good but inexperienced leader learns quickly from one crisis and handles the next one better, and Orpo and Purra have not lacked crisis training in this government. But they just don't learn for the better. Orpo and Purra either can't lead or don't want to lead. And both options are completely unsustainable in this situation. Besides the leadership deficit, another big problem is the current form of the Finns party. I believe that Mr Vornanen's actions have come as a shock to all members of the party, and I am sure that none of Basic Finns will support such actions. But it is still necessary to discuss why we have a party in government and a very strong popular support base that not only attracts irresponsible and dangerous people like a magnet, but also repeatedly elevates them to positions of responsible power. It is no coincidence that Basic Finns politicians have the most criminal backgrounds, or that a child molester or neo-Nazi can become a minister in Basic Finns, or that radical far-right groups in Finland have repeated links with Basic Finns.
The Basic Finns are a party whose two leading stars, Riikka Purra and Jussi Halla-aho, have publicly written violent fantasies in which they use a handgun in public, and the Basic Finns voters approve of this, as they do of all the other dangerous and irresponsible behaviour of Basic Finns politicians. And when discrimination, hostility, racist crime and fantasies of violence are accepted and even praised within the party, this has a consequence: more people who act in a discriminatory and hostile way and who foster violent fantasies of power end up in the party. These two issues, the government's total lack of leadership and the chaotic unpredictability of Basic Finns party, lead to the third problem, which is possibly the biggest of all. Finns' confidence in the political system and society is being destroyed at an unprecedented rate. The government came to power by lying about virtually all its election promises. It has not even tried to deliver on its promise of zero tolerance of racism and disinformation. The government listens to no one and cares not a jot about the crushing impact of its cuts on people's daily lives - on the contrary, it arrogantly mocks the poor it hurts with by posing with scissors in hand. The most common response to criticism is to label the critics unjustifiably as communists or representatives of the "Trade Union_mafia".
Ultimately, society works on trust. People must be able to trust that the majority, and above all politicians, will act for the common good. And when, on top of such cruel and intransigent policies, our leaders shirk their responsibilities in a situation that has shocked all Finns, it severely shatters that already fragile trust. This is not acceptable. And it must be said loudly to the decision-makers. Much louder than before. Because when a small group arbitrarily decides the fate of a large group by threatening, lying and behaving with unpredictable aggression, and the large group can only helplessly obey and somehow try to endure and hang on, it is no longer a question of democratic governance of the welfare state, it is a hostage situation.
