Wow! I knew there was a lot of controversy linked to the new govt there, but now I really understand why. Those comments are abhorrent and someone seemingly that unhinged should not have any positions of power.

President Niinistö even had to comment (the SECOND time within a month) that the government has to set zero tolerance for racism.

Hey, @QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz! This is maybe a dumb question, but why did you post this on beehaw rather than sopuli?

I was willing to give benefit of the doubt. We've all said things we regret. But damn. What she said is just indefensible. It's not a moment of misdirected anger. It's a pattern of extreme racism.

"but but but the true Finn's aren't like other right wing parties!!! They totally are in favor of [insert moderate policy]"

[–] QuentinCallaghan@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I prefer the party be called "The Rudimentary Finns Party".

[–] ProcurementCat@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

"The party of people with preliminary Finnish descent"

Or maybe just "Perkele" ist enough.
