Systems breaker wrote that without X he would have believed in a pandemic and would have been vaccinated twice. He would also have considered sea rescue honorable, believed that there had only been a few hundred Moroccans in Ceuta, all of whom were now back home, and that the Russian would be at his door the next day. Moreover, he would have assumed that students were protesting for better schools. In the end, he thanked Elon Musk. #Gesellschaft #Meinungsfreiheit #Impfung (translated)

Binga Tupamäki wrote that the events in France were finally treated as riots rather than peaceful student protests, but he criticized the media coverage as still having a strange tone. According to him, Helsingin Sanomat suggested that the videos circulating from the riots promoted the far-right agenda and emphasized that the involvement of immigrants could not yet be confirmed. Tupamäki asked why the editorial teams were hesitant in this case, even though they had previously speculated on matters before official confirmations. He believed that comments from Donald Trump and Sebastian Tynkkynen should not become main news stories instead of the violence, and called for a deeper analysis of the causes and consequences of the events. According to Tupamäki, contemplating the connection between immigration failure and social unrest does not make a person far-right. He referred to the decades-long discussion in France about the segregation of suburbs and the problems of integration, and assessed that there were no common norms or respect in an increasingly unequal environment. He urged an examination of the role of the radical left and claimed that the streets of France were primarily places of rioting for the far left. Tupamäki mentioned that Greta Thunberg participated in the protest and praised students for rising against the system, even though he claimed there were no concrete demands. He assessed that the unrest was more related to revolutionary fantasies than to a shortage of teachers and budget cuts. According to Tupamäki, the rigid reporting by Helsingin Sanomat and other media ironically benefited the far-right: if people saw videos and heard that only far-right individuals thought about the conclusions drawn from them, they might begin to identify with it. He considered honest and fair reporting as a means to prevent radicalization. #Ranska #mellakat #media (translated)
