Saara Huhtasaari interpreted the raised eyebrows, large eyes, and open mouth as indicative of cognitive dissonance. She wrote that a person defending immigration and asylum seekers had asked in France why the rioters acted that way, and had received a shove in response. Huhtasaari described the rioters as Islam-leftist and pro-Palestinian and claimed they had destroyed places. Huhtasaari called such empathy "suicidal empathy" and argued that it did not take into account the intentions or reciprocity of the recipient. According to her, the identity of a "good person" could lead people to vote for the same party despite the riots, and maintaining and projecting beliefs overshadowed the facts. According to Huhtasaari, the mainstream media framed the events as student protests, but reality emerged nonetheless. She wrote that change would only begin when a person could admit that immigration had not worked. #maahanmuutto #kognitiivinendissonanssi #mediakritiikki (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)

Elina Hiltunen criticized the right for the lack of source criticism on social media and wrote that images unrelated to the events in France were associated with them, as well as unfounded stories. She described the situation in France as horrific and claimed that the far-left, Islamists, and gangs were collaborating destructively. According to Hiltunen, the spread of false information harmed her own side and benefited the opposing side, so she urged checking the facts before sharing. #totuus #lähdekritiikki #faktantarkistus (translated)

Tuomo Saarni pondered what it would feel like for an entrepreneur who had built their small business for a couple of decades to have it destroyed in an instant without society being able to help. He described neighbors staying behind locked doors and the entrepreneur having to start over the next day. Saarni also wrote that the state would require the entrepreneur to continue paying taxes so that the people who destroyed his property could, in his view, exercise their freedom without regard for others. He criticized the press for reporting that the demonstration had the support of the neighborhood and regarded Western democracy and journalism as being in crisis. #yrittäjyys #demokratia #journalismi (translated)

Henri Vanhanen wrote that Russia's frozen assets should be used for the benefit of Ukraine instead of being returned to Vladimir Putin's control. According to the Financial Times, the United States had suggested partially releasing the assets to entice Russia into peace negotiations. Vanhanen deemed the proposal absurd and assessed that Putin would not abandon his war of aggression without reciprocal concessions. Vanhanen believed that Europe had been discussing for years the use of frozen assets for the benefit of Ukraine but had not properly addressed the principal amount itself. He wrote that the United States was now even suggesting transferring the assets to Washington's oversight. According to Vanhanen, Russia should pay for the destruction it has caused, and Europe should find ways to use the assets to support Ukraine instead of making them a bargaining chip. https://t.co/9zBKU31Qb4 #Ukraina #Venäjä #rauhanneuvottelut (translated)

Petteri Vaara criticized the government's decision to grant a 150 million euro tax support to Anglo American's subsidiary, Sakati, through Business Finland. According to him, the value of the metal deposits located in Viiankiaapa in Sodankylä, a Natura 2000 area, was tens of billions of euros: about 15 billion euros for copper and over ten billion euros for nickel, gold, and palladium. Vaara believed that the mining company would receive the extracted metals and the vast majority of the economic benefits, while the risks of the project would remain with nature and taxpayers. Vaara wrote that the state was preparing and partly funding mining projects but handed the responsibility for leading them to multinational companies. He also criticized the National Coalition Party member of parliament, Pia Kauma, who stated that protected nature calmed and comforted people, but metals were needed for batteries and electrical cables. Vaara mentioned that Sakati had met with several ministers, their assistants, and members of parliament and had used consultants from the law firm Borenius. Vaara claimed that 79 percent of Finns opposed mining in nature conservation areas. According to him, the government was pushing for the project to gain the status of an EU strategic raw materials initiative to expedite the permitting process. He also criticized Anglo American's plans to purchase old-growth forests in Inari and to restore drained wetlands to replace Viiankiaapa. Vaara referred to a statement from the Permit and Supervision Agency, which indicated that the actions proposed by the company were insufficient to mitigate the environmental harm of the project as required by the nature directive. https://t.co/spQ6nEoAhG #Suomi #Luonto #Kaivosteollisuus (translated)
