Jussi Mäkinen wrote that the controversy surrounding the Helsinki Pride community would fit better into context if it were stated that it is the local association of Seta in the capital region and the former HeSeta ry. According to him, the association was established to do social and youth work, not to organize marches or engage in commercial activities. Mäkinen mentioned that the founding meeting was held at the restaurant Gambrinus in Helsinki on November 29, 1990. Mäkinen estimated that after the Tahdon2013 campaign, successful people from the upper middle class became involved in the association's activities, and its public image changed. He described the development such that marketing-oriented activities were built on top of an organization based on community and volunteer work. According to him, as organizations grow, politicians and other actors often seek positions in their administration, who are not familiar with the organization's rules or seek to change them. Mäkinen wrote that, in his opinion, neither STEA nor its predecessor RAY funded Pride events, but rather social and youth work. He described the Pride event as a demonstration and a fundraising channel for the organization's core mission. Mäkinen criticized the actors he characterized as event producers for deciding to stop social and youth work if funding were cut, according to him. He concluded by asking whether similar actors would next turn to veteran organizations or the Lotta Svärd organization. #HelsinkiPride #Seta #sosiaalityö (translated)

Henri Vanhanen called for a halt to the issuance of Russian tourist visas to Europe and stated that he agreed on the matter with Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen. He justified his stance with both moral reasons and European security. According to Vanhanen, Russian sabotage and other hostile activities in Europe had increased, and Russia had adapted its methods following European countries expelling Russian intelligence officers and complicating the conditions for diplomatic cover operations. He wrote that intermediaries, criminals, and individuals disguised as ordinary tourists were being used in the operations. Vanhanen assessed that a tourist visa issued by one Schengen country allowed for extensive movement in Europe, and this opportunity was exploited to prepare hostile actions. He stated that Schengen countries had issued nearly half a million tourist visas to Russians last year, which he regarded as impossible to justify in the context of an ongoing offensive war for the fifth year. Vanhanen believed that humanitarian exceptions, family reasons, and the status of those fleeing persecution should be secured, but he distinguished regular leisure travel from these grounds. He urged Europe to end the opportunities it offered to Russia, which he claimed were being used against Europe. https://t.co/AZTRFAHrwP #Eurooppa #Venäjä #Turismi (translated)

Arto Koskelo described Onni Rostila as a cultured bourgeois who, in his opinion, was not a supporter of the National Coalition Party but embodied qualities that right-wingers had previously valued: erudition, modesty, morality, and competence. Koskelo referred to Rostila as a cultured bourgeois 2.0 and estimated that he would not be the last of his kind. #sivistysporvari #politiikka #Suomi (translated)

Timo Hännikäinen wrote that in his opinion, Donald Trump had no moral compass or clear goal, but rather his actions primarily served to increase his own wealth and the need for admiration. He compared Trump to Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un, stating that at least they operated according to some kind of logic and did not voluntarily help their enemies. Hännikäinen argued that no enemy could harm Western countries as much as such a leader, whom he compared to the emperors of the late Roman Empire. #Trump #johtaminen #politiikka (translated)

Klaus said he had responded to a user named Sukkola, who he claimed had blocked him. He stated that his criticism was directed at Said Aw-Musse's position as a religious authority rather than at his personal actions. Klaus described classical Sunni Islam as a tradition in which sharia is seen as divinely ordained and as a legal system superior to human laws. According to him, it included legal, moral, and social rules regarding, among other things, testimony, inheritance, apostasy, and legislative authority. Klaus wrote that Aw-Musse had studied theology in Saudi Arabia and worked in a mosque where the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab had been used. He described this figure as an ultra-conservative thinker who demanded the return of Islam to its literal roots. According to Klaus, Aw-Musse's refusal to clarify his position on the primacy of Finnish law and the status of sharia justified suspicion. Merely following the law, in his opinion, did not indicate whether he considered the constitutional order of Finland to be just and final or a temporary imposition. Klaus expressed a desire to know what kind of Finland Aw-Musse envisioned in 50 or 100 years. Klaus believed that questions regarding women's rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and criminal law were not leading him into a trap but were inquiries into whether Aw-Musse accepted the principles of the Finnish rule of law. He deemed Aw-Musse's public stance significant for its societal relevance due to his religious role. According to Klaus, integration required not only adherence to the law but also acceptance of fundamental values. #uskonto #oikeudet #kulttuuri (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized Yle for often choosing female journalists to incite moral panic, according to him. He interpreted Yle's analysis as showing that support for the National Coalition Party among women had dropped to 12 percent and that the Finns Party had surpassed this party. However, according to Mäkäräinen, women were not punishing the National Coalition Party for its policies but for its austerity measures, and men were supporting the state. Mäkäräinen believed that the decline in women's support was due to the impact of budget cuts on sectors predominantly employing women, such as social services, organizations, and public services. In his view, this did not make the cuts unjust, but rather highlighted their effects. He mentioned the Social Democratic Party, the Left Alliance, and the Centre Party as the most popular parties among women and claimed that the left proposed tax increases amounting to nine billion euros. According to Mäkäräinen, the costs of these increases would fall on men who work overtime, start businesses, and pay progressive taxes. Mäkäräinen assessed that the issue for the National Coalition Party was its attempt to soften difficult decisions, while the Finns Party spoke about the same issues more directly. He argued that men were underrepresented in the care sector and overrepresented in dangerous jobs, entrepreneurship, and at the high end of the tax revenue spectrum. In his opinion, the National Coalition Party should maintain its stance even if it lost some female support, as this could help it win over voters who support the sustainability of the state. https://t.co/DfwLyPN03s #Politiikka #NaistenOikeudet #Taloustieto (translated)

Eija-Riitta Korhola-Dunderfelt wrote that the candidacy and the suitability of the candidate could be questioned. However, she considered it immoral that the candidate was not informed about the matter in time and that efforts were made to completely prevent his candidacy. Korhola-Dunderfelt described the procedure as fraud. #politiikka #moraali #vaalit (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)

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)

I must say that the scale of the discussion surrounding Häkämies' visit to Israel is starting to frustrate me. The task of security policy is not to make decision-makers look good, but to keep the country safe. We have a neighboring country to the east that is at war, the security of Europe is in its most serious situation in decades, and Finland must at the same time strengthen its defense, preparedness, and alliance relations. In this world situation, I would prefer politics to focus less on proving its own moral purity and more on taking responsibility for how Finland's security is actually ensured. We do not have to like all our partners, nor do we have to approve of all their actions. Nevertheless, defense policy must be able to be conducted in a world as it is. Right now, we have more important matters to attend to than gathering political points from our supporters. Virtue signaling does not deter a single ballistic missile. https://t.co/6ME2hwb1Nd #turvallisuuspolitiikka #Suomi #puolustus (translated)

Mitä helvettiä? Tämä on aikamoinen paljastus millainen moraali sinulla on @anttikaikkonen jos pitää paikkaansa ? Eikö sijaislapset ole olleet yhteinen päätös? Se on elinikäinen vastuu eikä siitä irtauduta ja heitetään kuin vanha rukkanen nurkkaa vaikka muuten tiet erkanevat. Nyt meni maku tähän kaveriin lopullisesti😑. https://t.co/YNfCTbO9LT #moraali #sijaislapset #vastuu

SDP on hoksannut, että palestiinalaisten puolustaminen houkuttaa hyvesignaloinnista kiinnostuneita kuin mätä hedelmä banaanikärpäsiä. He kauppaavat pääsylippuja moraalisesti muiden yläpuolella olevien empatiaeliittiin. Tunne on demarien tuote. Järki jää sille kakkoseksi aina. #politiikka #etiikka #moraali

Oli SDP:ltä ja muulta vasemmistolta täysin moraalitonta ja häijyä valehdella kansalaisille aborttitoimenpiteiden asiakasmaksuista. Vasemmisto väitti, että tulee uusia maksuja. Todellisuudessa yhä useampi nainen (kyllä, nainen) saa nämä palvelut maksutta. https://t.co/64xO5A21HC https://t.co/qLlxY7wWgd #abortti #puolueet #politikka

Tunnen monia akateemisia työttömiä. Heille usein ongelma ei ole Kelan tukien taso. On säästöjä, ansiosidonnainen, hyvätuloinen puoliso tms. Ongelma on se, ettei ole töitä. Vasemmiston ajatusmaailma, jossa suurin ongelma ei ole työttömyys vaan tulonsiirtojen taso, on yleishaitallista Suomelle. Näiden akateemisten henkilöiden materiaaliset tarpeet on täytetty. Ihminen on kuitenkin luotu tekemään jotain. Työ ratkaisee suurimman osan ihmisen ongelmista samantien. Tulee mielekästä tekemistä, elämällä on taas suunta jne. Vasemmisto puhuu vain tulonsiirroista ja toimeentulosta. Ikäänkuin tämä olisi ratkaisu. 3 tonnia Kelasta tassuun ja ole tyytyväinen. Kiitos vasemmisto, siitäs sait rikas! Terve ihminen ei voi olla tähän tyytyväinen. Hän haluaa olla merkityksellinen ja saada koulutustaan vastaavaa työtä. Elintaso ei ole ongelma. Vasemmisto ei puhu yhtään mitään miten ihmisille saataisiin työtä. Vain +9 miljardin tulonsiirrot, jotka tulevat vähentämään työpaikkoja Suomessa ja lisäämään mt-/päihdeongelmien määrää. Mistä tällainen moraali on edes syntynyt? En tajua kuka tällaisen puolesta äänestää? Kuka on vastuussa että ihmisen mielet on korruptoitu tavoittelemaan Kelan rahoilla elämistä? #työttömyys #koulutus #työelämä
