So even a social democracy like Finland has troubles with far right fascism. That does not bode well.
Modifying the cliche phrase, good times make complacent people, complacent people want fast solutions, fascists promise fast solutions, fascists create bad times, bad times create aware people, aware people create good times
It’s funny how history repeats. Humans never learn.
“But it’s different this time!”

Love Eddie Izzard
I truely believe that this is not an act of god and blame “thats how history works”.
I know for a fact that russia is mangled in politics in many many countries and it has full blown departments with the sole purpose of inciting controversy and “extremify” the “west”.
All these fascists raising their head can be directly linked in many countries to russian propaganda.
Seems most of the western world does right now. Social Media has done a number on our society.

Somebody hates losing.
Wanting to reduce the deficit and immigration isn't fascism. Every time you misuse that word it becomes a little bit more meaningless.
The devil's in the details.
Give us the details then. Id love to hear your take
Edit: love being downvoted for asking for information
You’re downvoted because you’re participating in bad faith but you likely already know that.
Edit: yikes on a fucking stick this user is posting here looking for child pornography posts:
They're not arguing in bad faith. You maybe didn't notice the user change, @[email protected] didn't say anything about what fascism is, they literally just asked for more information. If you did notice the username, then you're making one hell of an assumption over the tone of their comment.
That CSAM comment was clearly a joke in light of the shitpost memes community closing. People joke in meme threads.
You're exaggerating things and turning another user into a scarecrow just so you can jump down on them and circle-jerk over them. That's very disgusting behaviour on your part.
Oh god you took what I said about CSAM out of context as a gotcha? And its getting upvoted????
This is max level cringe. I actually wish the worst for you.
Asking for information is bad faith now. Are you joking right now? Im not from your part of the world and just dont follow any nordic politics... i dont know how to sift through real info and misinformation if im not from there. People throw the word fascism around like its a hot potato
So you confidently claim that whatever is happening has nothing to do with fascism and that the word is being misused, then, when called out, you're just asking questions and admit you are ignorant about Nordic politics?
Maybe inform yourself first before aggressive engaging in discussions on topics you self admittedly don't understand. Otherwise, it's fair to assume bad faith.
I am asking for your help to inform me LMAO
Its funny that when I "do my own research" people say I am doing it wrong but when I ask them for their research they say "DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH".
Really cant win with you guys. I am asking for your help and you still think its bad faith. I am starting to think that you dont have any information to share and you are piggy backing off of some common belief and I hate that.
Also, saying "id love to hear your take" is aggressive now apparently.
I have to apologize, I thought JasSmiths comment was also written by you.
Like clockwork, the sea lion demands that everyone else show proof rather than quickly doing a google search. At least you admitted you aren’t capable of critical thinking. Have a fantastic day mister! All the best.
Wanting to reduce immigration, if you are in a Western nation with ageing populations and a falling birth rate is fucking stupid. Also, people advocating for reduced immigration are shitcunts.
Better?
I'm sure wanting to shoot black people with automatic weapons has no correlation with fascistic ideals either.
Call it xenophobia, racism, authoritarianism, tribalism or whatever you want. They are all precursors and defined in Fascism. Let’s not wait until it happens to call it what it is… Fascism.
Still losing.
Search for Finns party + controversy and you'll find why people are calling this specific party fascist. The party leader has a post about beating up immigrants In Helsinki and they had a minster that made a lot of 'jokes' about Hitler and attended an event linked to neo-nazis, for example.
