Iman Sefati accused columnists and Islamists of attempting to prevent the Freedom Prize of the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom for the Iranian people, while simultaneously remaining silent on executions and human rights abuses in Iran. He asked where their tweets on these topics had been in recent days. The prize is awarded to the Iranian people – including conservatives, leftists, liberals, Baluchis, Azeris, Kurds, and other groups. Prince Reza Pahlavi accepts it on their behalf, Sefati wrote. It is not about a single person, but about a people fighting for freedom. In conclusion, he said that those criticized should be ashamed. #Iran #Menschenrechte #Freiheit (translated)

Keijo Kaarisade wrote that Sixseven Korkboy did not make it to the finals of the high school economic guru competition. According to Kaarisade, Korkboy had stated that adjustments were necessary, but had focused on listing things that should not be cut. He mentioned that Helsingin Sanomat had offered Korkboy a consolation prize of columnist work and called him a moral winner. #talous #kilpailu #voitto (translated)

Heikki Pursiainen criticized Finnish economic discussion as limited based on two recently published columns in Helsingin Sanomat. According to him, Korkman described what should not be cut and believed that adjustments were necessary but did not propose any cuts. Pursiainen claimed that Korkman also criticized the government’s policies without offering alternatives. Pursiainen wrote that he found Teittinen’s reflections good in themselves but believed they underestimated Finns' ability to impact matters. He argued that Teittinen suggested that adjustments would probably be politically impossible and that Finland's fate depended on economic conditions and Russia. Pursiainen assessed that there could be many actions: he mentioned more encouraging social security, cutting business subsidies, tuition fees, and abandoning incentives for staying home as a parent. He added that for conservatives, a smaller public sector was a goal and not a reason for lamenting, and in his view, adjustments did not threaten the foundations of the welfare state. Pursiainen indicated that economists should also present their own solutions for discussion and negotiation. #Suomi #Taloustiede #Politiikka (translated)

Arto Koskelo wrote that Soviet propaganda depicted Israel as a stronghold of American imperialism and that Zionism was portrayed as a racist and imperialistic ideology, which was sometimes likened to fascism. He asked how this depiction differed from the tones of Yleisradio or Timo's columns. #propaganda #sionismi #imperialismi (translated)

Mikko Vuorenpää wrote that the content of Timo R. Steward's column demonstrated, in his opinion, that the title was accurate. Vuorenpää described Steward as having been dismissed from the Finnish Institute of International Affairs. https://t.co/AuGi2gxNWq #Ulkopolitiikka #Suomi #Kolumnit (translated)

Mikko Välimaa proposed that Yle allow selected writers to comment on their columnists' articles. He assessed that Timo Stewart's column contained at least five major logical fallacies and believed that they explained why the writing stirred controversy in X. Välimaa described his proposal as in the spirit of "Feasts at Aulanko." https://t.co/TxhlLYa3JX #yle #kolumni #mielipide (translated)

Matti H. Virtanen wrote that he finds it special that people labeled as racists do not need to be named, even though problems in journalism are usually identified in order to solve them. He pondered whether racism would then be seen as an abstract evil residing in everyone. Virtanen referred to Timo R. Stewart's column in Yle, which stated in its title that a racist has nothing useful to say about social issues. According to Virtanen, religions, beliefs, and cultures are not related to skin color or other racial characteristics, and comparing and evaluating them is acceptable civic discourse. He argued that "From the River to the Sea – all Women shall be Free" is not a racist appeal, even though opponents of equality might claim otherwise. #journalismi #kulttuuri #yhteiskunta (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)

Es ist immer wieder FANTASTISCH, wie Robert #Habeck mit einem einzigen reflektierten öffentlichen Auftritt zuverlässig einen zweiwöchigen Totalausfall der deutschen Populismusindustrie auslöst. Ein paar ruhige, differenzierte Sätze – und schon werfen sich Kolumnisten, Kulturkämpfer und Empörungsunternehmer im Schichtbetrieb auf jedes einzelne Wort, bis auch der Letzte bewiesen hat, warum diese Art von Öffentlichkeit inzwischen so erbärmlich berechenbar ist. #Politik #Öffentlichkeit #Populismus

🇸🇮 Slovenci! Ne jamrajte! Politika je ogledalo naroda. In Slovenci si bomo morali priznati, da to, kar gledamo v ogledalu, ni lepo. 🤮 Niti malo. Kot državljana me je sram, da imamo v politiki ljudi brez moralnega kompasa in brez sramu. In da nam jih stara omrežja nastavljajo prav zato, ker so kompromitirani. Kompromitiran človek je ubogljiv in upogljiv človek. Kako je štiri leta svoje delo opravljal podpredsednik vlade in minister, za katerega priča zdaj javno razlaga, da sta skupaj vlekla kokain? Da ima problem z odvisnostjo. On pravi, da so to laži. Mogoče. Ampak o testiranju funkcionarjev na droge takrat koalicija ni hotela niti slišati. Šofer avtobusa piha, minister pa ne. Kako lahko ljudje iz poslanskih pisarn EU po svetu kažejo vozniška dovoljenja, za katera policija pravi, da so ponarejena? Uradne dokumente! In koliko dvomljivih spričeval in diplom smo v zadnjih letih že pogoltnili? Vse to so orodja omrežja za manipulacijo posameznikov za dosego svojega cilja. Težava te družbe je preprosta. Omrežja nam nastavljajo nadpovprečno nesposobne, nepoštene in takšne, ki jih nekdo lahko drži za jajca. Zato, da se v državi lahko v miru krade. Brez kraje javnega denarja bi Slovenci lahko imeli polovične davke. Nafto pa bi danes točili za 1,50 evra. Mi pa smo krajo institucionalizirali kot novo gospodarsko panogo. Edino panogo, ki ji produktivnost res raste. Ta hip predstavlja vso »navidezno« gospodarsko rast. Dosti imam zgrajenih škarp, podarjenih ur in drugih omrežnih cukrčkov. Honorarjev tu, malo tam … po vezah to ali tisto. Službica, honorarček … Dosti imam sistema, ki se dela, da dela, v resnici pa s figo v žepu vzdržuje vse zgoraj napisano. Dosti imam politike, v kateri sedijo šivilje, kradljivci, ljudje s kartotekami, kleptomani, drogeraši in taki z množico odprtih ali kakršnih koli kazenskih postopkov v preteklosti. Kje mi te perle najdemo? Ljudi na najvišjih položajih, ki jim je davčna optimizacija intimna opcija in za katere resno ne vemo, ali so na strani Zahoda ali Rusije. Brezsramno se s pomočjo ukrivljenih medijev rogajo državljanom. Če sem iskren: celotna politika potrebuje lustracijo. Praktično vsi. Od leve do desne garderobe. Brez izjeme. Ker je ukradena. Ker imajo o njih dokumente, videoposnetke, obljube in prste v marmeladi. Domače omrežje, tuje varnostne službe, Mossad in KGB. To so ljudje, ki ne morejo vladati. Ker jim je ta opravilna sposobnost odvzeta. A Slovencem se je odvzelo več. Odvzelo se jim je državo in jo pod mizo prodalo. Nesposobnost vladanja pa pomeni izgubo suverenosti. Kar se nam konstantno dogaja na mednarodnem političnem parketu. Ker se vidi vsa šizofrenost Slovenije. Vidi se njena odvisnost. Država brez kompasa, na katero kažejo s prstom kot na vzorec »vazalne« države, enkrat enih, drugič drugih. Kakšne signale pošiljamo partnerjem, se ne vpraša nihče. Ti signali so jasni. Držijo nas za jajca, nimamo svoje besede. Mahamo z belo zastavo. Dosti imam ukradene države. Ampak ukradli je niso sami. Pomagali smo jim mi. S tem, ko smo nekritično presojali »narejene informacije« medijev. S tem, ko nismo zahtevali pravega novinarstva, in ker smo si tudi s tem pač ubili demokracijo. Ker smo pokopali glas razuma in ga nadomestili s plačanimi kolumnisti, ki lezejo iz vsake pore. Slovenija je res katastrofa. Kaos natega, laži in sprege. Egoizem na kvadrat. Krivi smo tudi sami. Butalci. Z vsakim »saj so vsi isti«, z vsako nedeljo, ko se nam ni dalo, in z vsem, kar smo pozabili v treh dneh. Krivi smo popolnoma sami. Zato še enkrat: poglejte v ogledalo. In ne pljuvajte vanj. V ogledalu ste vi. Politika je zrcalna slika naroda. #Politika #Slovenija #Družba

Näin se Väinö Tannerkin sanoi kesällä 1939. Pääkohdat: - Ei Davidin linkoja, rahat vaippoihin. - rajasulku voi olla militarismia ja liioiteltua viholliskuvaa. - korvetit ovat turhia. Ynnä muuta. Kirjoitus on kuin Kremlin tilaustyö. (Janne Saarikiven kolumni, HS) https://t.co/bZM9OjFWyw #Politiikka #Historia #Suomi

Correctiv bezieht weiterhin Steuergeld aus dem Programm „Demokratie leben!“ des Familienministeriums. „Das ist, als würde die Mafia Geld bekommen, weil sie angibt, ein Kinderheim zu betreiben, mit der Begründung, man finanziere ja nur das Kinderheim und nicht die Mafia. Correctiv hat sich durch gezielte Desinformation hervorgetan, wird aber dennoch finanziert, um Desinformation zu bekämpfen.
