Matias Turkkila criticized Yle's main news story, which he said strongly defended France's violence, illegality, and destruction. According to him, the article did not interview any researchers, but the journalist presented his own opinions, which he described as strange, as news. Turkkila also brought up a financial journalist from Ilta-Sanomat, who had stated that the story had pleased him. Turkkila wondered why journalists took delight in violence and the burning of cities. He claimed that the Finnish journalistic community mostly consisted of left-wing activists and asked why journalists repeatedly joined initiatives from activists on the same side. He stated that there were many examples from recent years. #Suomi #journalismi #uutiset (translated)

A young Finnish man wrote about a man he described as a member of the French left-wing party and an activist who defended the opening of immigration from North Africa. According to the writer, the man owned a small shop in an upscale area and tried to protect it from robbery by telling those who came that he was a well-known refugee activist and on their side, having defended their access to France and their right to stay there. The writer claimed that the shop was robbed despite this, and the man lost his lifelong work in an instant. He stated that the man remained in shock, watching the perpetrators, whom the writer described in derogatory and dehumanizing terms. He alleged that the man had dedicated his life to defending them and encouraged them to come to France, even though they were allegedly trying to destroy the country. Additionally, the young Finnish man referred to an evolutionary psychological analysis he published in another column, titled "Self-Destructive Empathy and Men's Responsibility". #aktivismi #maahanmuutto #Ranska (translated)

The Baron of Øresund wrote that T.N. had confronted the police at least three times in the past six months, which, according to the post, had so far led to at least one charge. The author claimed that T.N. had been part of a group of left-wing radicals during the weekend protests in Copenhagen, obstructing police work, and that he had spat on officers. According to the post, T.N. had also been part of a group that fought with the police during the DDF demonstration on September 5. The Baron of Øresund also wrote that T.N. had illegally participated in trespassing at the Maersk headquarters on May 13 and blocked the entrance. According to the author, this had led to a charge of unlawful entry. After the incident on September 5, T.N. had spoken to a Berlingske reporter, the author wrote. The post also described that T.N. had participated in a report on TV 2 Kosmopol after the incident at Maersk's headquarters, where he appeared with his full name and identity. According to the Baron of Øresund, this was how he was recognized. The author characterized him as a left-wing radical activist and repeated lawbreaker, referring to sources in the comments section. #venstreradikal #demonstration #kriminalitet (translated)

Žan Mahnič thanked everyone who voted four times in favor at the Sunday referendums. He assessed that the result, despite greater engagement from the left, exceeded the expectations of the right. According to him, the campaign was supported by leftist parties, several dozen NGOs, influencers, unions, RTV Slovenia, and activists, who he claimed received funding from the state budget through calls for proposals, while only right-wing parties participated on the other side. Mahnič noted that the left expected a victory of 70 to 30, but that did not happen. He added that the two referendums won by the left were decided by a few hundred votes. He interpreted the result as confirmation that the direction of the government led by Janez Janša is supported by 50 percent of voters, even though surveys estimated support at around 40 percent, and in some areas considerably more than 50 percent. He assessed the political balance in Slovenia as 50:50 and predicted that in ten years, due to the voting habits of older and younger voters, it could turn in favor of the right. For the upcoming referendum on the intervention law for the development of Slovenia, he called for a joint campaign of advocates for lower taxes and less bureaucracy. He believed that right-wing parties alone would not be able to secure a victory and that artisans, entrepreneurs, retirees, students, healthcare workers, and others affected by the law should be involved. He attributed a stronger mobilization to the opposing side than that seen in the Sunday referendums and assessed that their concerns were not about Slovenia and the citizens' wallets, but rather their own benefits. Mahnič also warned of the possibility that there might be too few representatives of the advocates in the face-offs organized by RTV Slovenia compared to politicians, NGOs, unionists, and influencers on the opposing side. He urged those affected to actively engage in the campaign and asked what they were willing to do for collective success. #Slovenija #politika #referendum (translated)

Jussi Mäkinen wrote that Finnish immigration discussion, in his experience, had focused on the need for workers in low-paying jobs and funding for the pension system. He criticized that councilor Meri was condemned for speaking about what she thought. Mäkinen also pondered whether conclusions could be drawn from the names of those accepted into the Swedish-speaking medical faculty. Mäkinen criticized Marin's government's decision to raise the compulsory schooling age to 18. According to him, the reform had provided state-funded textbooks and school transportation for upper middle-class high school students, but at the same time enrolled youths in education who might not attend classes. He mentioned hearing from acquaintances in vocational schools in the capital region that, for example, selected students in electrical studies had not showed up for school even after the second academic year had started. Mäkinen also claimed that educational institutions received funding based on the names on student lists, even if the student did not show up. Mäkinen wrote that the proportion of those completing secondary education had risen from about 77.9 percent to 79.4 percent among those young people who turned 20 by the spring of that year. He challenged Meri to publish a positive update when the students on the list would have graduated. Mäkinen estimated that nearly 90 percent of those accepted to high school had Finnish backgrounds and nearly 90 percent of those accepted to vocational schools had immigrant backgrounds. He also shared that his friend, a Master's degree holder in business sciences who had come to Finland as a refugee from Kosovo, had said that they had learned better Finnish on a football team than in a classroom with immigrant-background students. Finally, Mäkinen reminded of a previous discussion where it was deemed important to transfer Finnish children from their local school to a school where the majority of students belonged to the S2 language group. He wrote that the backgrounds of the names on vocational school student lists could not yet be discussed. #maahanmuutto #koulutus #suomi (translated)

"With meticulous research, he documents how an activist-radical, anti-Israel and anti-Jewish left has gained a foothold in academia, in the cultural scene, and also in the Left Party."

Uroš Urbanija wondered whether the absence from a certain festival really meant pressure. He wrote that Asta Vrečko, along with some activists, shouted outside the RTV Slovenija building that people, including himself, should also be removed, sarcastically comparing it to a performance by a symphony orchestra. #Slovenija #festival #aktivizem (translated)

Severin Tatarczyk wrote that BMW wanted to send a political message with the withdrawal of the leasing offer for the President of the State Parliament in Saxony-Anhalt. He considered this a mistake: it was about the office and not about the AfD, and companies should remain politically neutral in such matters instead of engaging in activist symbolic politics. In his view, such actions primarily strengthened people in certain circles while additionally supporting the AfD in other milieus. Tatarczyk also questioned how BMW would have acted if a member of the Left had held the office. #Politik #Unternehmen #Neutralität (translated)
