Sture Fjäder wrote that Greta Thunberg, who was named an honorary doctor at the University of Helsinki, defended French high school students. He used a derogatory term referring to Thunberg's Swedish identity and political orientation and described the situation as embarrassing. #gretathunberg https://t.co/J1kUJDmAfX #Helsinki #koulutus #nuoret (translated)

Saara Huhtasaari criticized Petteri Orpo's presentation of the National Coalition's 60 million euro fuel package and wrote that it would not lower the pump price of gasoline or diesel. She reported that Orpo had accused the Finns Party of stalling the package, to which Riikka Purra responded that it contained no measures to reduce pump prices. Huhtasaari agreed with Purra's assessment. According to Huhtasaari, road traffic in Finland consumed about 3.3–3.5 billion liters of fuel annually. If 60 million euros were distributed evenly, it would mean less than two cents per liter, she estimated. However, in her view, the package was targeted at commuting tax deductions and professional transport, and it would not be reflected in the filling station bill of an average motorist. Huhtasaari wrote that the pump price could be lowered by temporarily easing the distribution obligation or reducing fuel taxation. According to her, Purra and the Finns Party had proposed easing the distribution obligation, but the National Coalition and RKP did not support either measure. She criticized the package as a constructed image before the elections and claimed that the National Coalition was not ready to make decisions that would actually lower the price of fuel. #polttoaineet #suomi (translated)

Miko Bergbom referred to the assessment of the representative from the Swedish People's Party, indicating that fuel prices in Finland would not rise high enough for the climate policy goals to be compromised. According to Bergbom, the distribution obligation was strictly adhered to for the benefit of individual companies and climate actions, while the transportation sector and ordinary drivers were overlooked. #ilmastopolitiikka #kestäväkehitys #suomi (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Sanna Ukkola's writing about the Prime Minister's meeting with Imam Sharmarke Said Aw-Mussen. According to Mäkäräinen, Ukkola regarded the meeting as ordinary work and believed that the imam, who was born in Turku, was being asked impossible questions regarding Sharia. Mäkäräinen argued that asking the imam was not a misunderstanding: in his view, the imam left open whether Sharia would be applied in Finland in family or criminal law matters. Mäkäräinen wrote that, according to him, freedom of religion did not justify the establishment of a parallel legal system alongside Finnish laws. He claimed that in Muslim-majority countries, freedom of religion, women's equality, and individual rights were not realized in liberal democracies due to Islamic doctrine and Sharia. He cited Lebanon as an example, where he believed the growth of the Muslim population and political organization undermined previous balance and led to civil war. In France, Sweden, Belgium, and Britain, he mentioned the visibility of parallel societies, honor-based violence, segregation of areas and schools, and pressure to accept practices related to Sharia. In Finland in the 2000s, Mäkäräinen claimed that groups with a Muslim background who had immigrated were connected to the overrepresentation of sexual offenses, unemployment, use of social security, and demands for their own rules. He believed that distinguishing criticism of Islam from calls for deportation did not make questions about Sharia suspect. According to Mäkäräinen, the primacy of the Finnish Constitution and criminal law should be clear in all matters, and Finland did not need to repeat the experiences of countries where the application of Sharia had been tried. https://t.co/bGpZ7VaTux #uskonnonvapaus #integratio #muslimit (translated)

The Listener podcast announced in episode #107 that it had interviewed Hannele Al-hamzawi, who, according to the podcast, had lived as a member of the Muslim community for 16 years and was now sharing her experiences in the Finnish Muslim community for the first time. The episode also discussed how Al-hamzawi prevented an honor killing, the visibility of Islam in the daily lives of Muslims, parallel societies in Finland, as well as Muslims' perceptions of Finnish men and women. The podcast stated that the episode was scheduled to be released on Sunday at 12 PM on Spotify and other platforms. It also claimed that the imams did not want people to listen to the episode. #kuuntelija #podcast #muslimiyhteisö (translated)

Samu Mökillä wrote that in Finland, with its long distances, many families needed a car for their daily lives, and that the fuel prices raised by the Middle East crisis had increased the cost of essential transportation. He criticized the proposal to use the commuting tax deduction to alleviate the situation, arguing that it mainly benefited commuters. According to him, the support would not help, for example, farmers, the transport sector, or lawnmowers. Mökkilä asked why fuel prices could be lowered elsewhere in the world but not in Finland, and considered the commuting tax deduction insufficient if the cost of living was also rising. He estimated that individual support lost its significance as general inflation consumed purchasing power. The rise in fuel costs would also increase freight rates, food production, industry, and logistics, which would be reflected in the prices of many products. He called for a reduction in distribution obligations and taxes instead of subsidies and described the commuting support as a small band-aid for a broader increase in living costs. According to Mökillä, politicians wanted to appear to be doing something, even if the support's impact on people's wallets was overshadowed by rising prices. Mökkilä also wrote that the state budget was heavily in deficit and dependent on revenues collected from motorists. He stated that high fuel taxes were part of climate policy, but rural residents, actors in the transport sector, and small entrepreneurs often had no opportunity to change their fleets or reduce driving. He criticized politicians for disregarding the situation of ordinary Finns, saying that while there was talk of savings, millions were sent to a terrorist organization. #Suomi #polttoaine #talous (translated)

The True Finns wrote that it was easy to operate within the party because it did not have to change its positions based on opinion polls, but could rely on its own line. The party stated that it had consistently warned about the consequences of mass immigration, deepening EU integration, and ideological education policies, even when bringing them up was not popular. The True Finns considered themselves the only option for those who wanted more sensible immigration policy, savings on secondary expenses, and prioritization of Finns in Finland. The party justified its views with its consistent policies and the knowledge of whom it was working for. #perussuomalaiset #ps #perussuomalaiset #politiikka #Suomi (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Timo R. Stewart's column, stating that Stewart had already decided in advance that those who disagree are stupid and racist. According to Mäkäräinen, Stewart defined racism as evaluating individuals based on their ethnic or religious background and concluded that such individuals had nothing useful to say about international politics. Mäkäräinen mentioned that the column likened the observation of group differences to climate denialism, young Earth creationism, vaccine resistance, and reptilians. He also claimed that it had asserted that the Finnish media, researchers, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had adopted their Middle Eastern stance from Hamas. Mäkäräinen argued that the claim about the absence of pure races did not refute the phenomena indicated by statistics, attitude surveys, and street views. He highlighted religion, cousin marriages, concepts of honor, fertility, and renouncement of religion, adding that the common goals of Muslims could be examined from their own polls. According to Mäkäräinen, explaining unpleasant phenomena solely with prejudices and labeling dissenters as racists was essentialism. He criticized a sense of moral superiority and argued that it led to a lack of fact-checking, distinguishing between immigrant groups, or noticing that one's own media repeated Hamas's casualty figures. He believed that placing morality above observations weakened empathy. https://t.co/dglVfEEw2o #rasismi #media #ilmasto (translated)

Kunniaväkivalta ei kuulu Suomeen. "Kunniaväkivallan" sijasta voisimme puhua vaikka häpeäväkivallasta, koska mitään kunniallista siinä ei ole. Suomesta ei saa tulla yhteiskuntaa, jossa takapajuisten kulttuurien varjolla alistetaan naisia. #ps #perussuomalaiset #maahanmuutto https://t.co/hwgaVTCJXR #kunnia #väkivalta #ihmisoikeudet

Toimittajalla on oikeuksia, joita tavallisella kansalaisella ja vapaalla podcastilla ei ole. Kunnianloukkauksessa toimittajaa ei tuomita yhtä helposti kuin yksityishenkilöä, jos puhe koskee yleistä etua. Sanomalehti maksaa toimittajan juristit. Podcastin tekijä maksaa itse. Valtamedialla on Julkisen sanan neuvosto, joka käsittelee valitukset median sisällä. Vapaalla podcastilla tätä väylää ei ole. Toimittaja pääsee lehdistökortilla eduskunnan ja viranomaisten tiedotustilaisuuksiin. Sinä et. Julkaistun median sisältöä koskeva syyte kulkee usein valtakunnansyyttäjän kautta. Tavallisen ihmisen puhe menee suoraan tavalliseen rikosprosessiin. Toimittajan kotietsintä arvioidaan lehdistönvapautena. Sinun kotisi etsitään tavallisena kotietsintänä. Tämä ei ole vahinko. Arkadianmäen sirkus rakensi järjestelmän, joka pitää vallan ja tiedon samassa sisäpiirissä — ja kutsuu sitä demokratiaksi. Sirkuspellet eivät halua aidossa kilpailussa syntyvää totuutta. He haluavat, että ainoa ääni, joka nauttii oikeudellisesta suojasta, on se, joka ei koskaan heiluta venettä. #journalismi #media #vapaus

Purralla on selvästi mennyt kuppi nurin sen suhteen, että hänen mielestään euron bensaa ei missään koskaan luvattu ja mediaa myöten heitä nyt piinataan syyttä. Kuittailu bensasta liittyy ihan suoraan siihen, että perussuomalaiset poliitikot kävivät oppositiossa aivan ylikierroksilla aiheena bensan hinta. Hallitus sai kuulla tästä kunniansa kaikilla mahdollisilla tasoilla. Siitä pidettin palopuheita, kontenttia taottiin ihan kyllästymisiin asti. Bensaa eurolla ei kirjattu mihinkään vaalilupauksiin, mutta esim. Miko Bergbom kehoitti ihan suoraan äänestämään PS-puoluetta koska bensan voi riisua veroista euron hintaiseksi. “Jos me otetaan verot pois, polttoaine maksaa alle euron.” “Siit voi sit jokanen miettiä mitä puoluetta kannattaa äänestää!” #politiikka #bensa #vaalit

1. Thukydides tiesi sen jo: sota syttyy ja leviää, kun suurvallan kunnianhimo paisuu yli äyräiden ja herättää pelkoa muissa. Venäjä on taantuva suurvalta, joka käyttäytyy kuin nousukas. Vaarallisempaa yhdistelmää on vaikea keksiä. Venäjä on holtiton ja hajoava. https://t.co/88Q7oYRT1Y #Thukydides #Venäjä #suurvalta #FI #RU

Palataan viime hallituskaudelle, kun sitä kovasti halutaan. Mitä oppositio teki vallassa ollessaan polttoaineiden hinnoille? Tekivätkö he veronkevennyksiä? Eivät. He kiristivät polttoaineiden veroja. Jättivätkö he indeksitarkistukset tekemättä, jotka nostavat hintaa? Eivät jättäneet, vaan he nostivat hintaa sitäkin kautta. Entä olivatko he valmiina tarkastelemaan ilmastovelvoitteita? Käytännössä eivät: Marinin-Saarikon hallituksessa päinvastoin ajettiin sitä kuuluisaa "maailman kunnianhimoisinta ilmastopolitiikkaa." #ps #perussuomalaiset #autoilu #politiikka #ilmasto #verotus
