Hello World!

It's #Finland calling!

Haven't been updating the terrible actions of our horrendous conservative - #FarRight government, but it has been horrible all the time.

Lately, the far right #TheFinns party has again been mumbling about the #GreatReplacement conspiracy theory.

And the so-called centre-right and right-wing liberal parties just stick with it, because all the #austerity for the poor and tax cuts for the rich, they can do.

Hi, it's #Finland calling!

Pardon, no article about this in English, but must share anyways.

The think tank of the #FarRight government party #TheFinns started a web page vaestonvaihto - #GreatReplasement, and "there's absolutely no #ConspiracyTheory behind it!"

They are comparing the rise of migrants here for instance with the colonization of the US by the Europeans who then repressed the #FirstNations.

And they somehow forget that the #SámiPeople were here first

Once again I'm terribly ashamed of being a Finn.

There has been several these kind of days after the election in April, and the new #FarRight #Conservative government of ours.

A racist #government, that is fomenting fear and hysteria over couple of dozens of migrants and #AsylumSeekers in our Eastern border.

And yes, I do hate #Putin and all of his actions, including this usage of people as pawns.

2/2 Why is it good news?

Well, the #conservative #FarRight government has been in the crisis during their whole excistance.

And #SPP, the only liberal party, has been in a great pain because of #TheFinns party, and because the liberal minority of #NCP has stayed silent.

Nearly no one even believed that they SPP would actually participate in this #government, and we've been waiting for them to leave, and this might be yet another step to that direction.
