Finland's former Prime Minister Sanna Marin, who narrowly lost an election in April, stepped down on Friday as chair of the centre-left Social Democrats, hoping to take the focus off her personal life after an often turbulent four years at the helm.

      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

      Color haired weirdo tells people from other countries how to live. Go do a salvation mission in Africa. I think they have it worse there than in Finland

      Wanting to reduce the deficit and immigration isn’t fascism. Every time you misuse that word it becomes a little bit more meaningless.

          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:

            Where am i to find all the CSAM pictures without shitposts on lemmy.world 😞

              They’re not arguing in bad faith. You maybe didn’t notice the user change, @PatFussy@lemm.ee 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?

          You’re either an immigrant or a deranged person. Immigration has been a disaster for the west. Mainly BC it’s immigration from third world countries. Canada is seeing insane house prices, the middle class has disappeared and a generation (who voted for this) are regretting it and are already lost

        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.
