So even a social democracy like Finland has troubles with far right fascism. That does not bode well.

[-] CobblerScholar@lemmy.world 96 points 1 year ago

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.

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.

All of Europe has those problems atm.

Seems most of the western world does right now. Social Media has done a number on our society.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


HELSINKI, Sept 1 (Reuters) - 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.

Marin, who had announced her intention to quit soon after the election loss, was the world's youngest prime minister when she took the post in 2019 aged 34, attracting attention around the globe and helping lift Finland's profile.

After leading the country through COVID-19 lockdowns and the ensuing economic turmoil, Marin became a vocal supporter of Ukraine after Russia's invasion last year and succesfully pushed to end Finland's military non-alignment in favour of NATO membership.

Marin, now 37, has appeared on the covers of Vogue and Time Magazine, has a million followers on Instagram and is considered by fans around the world as a millennial role model for progressive leaders.

But at home, voters concerned with issues like immigration and a growing public deficit in April handed Marin a narrow defeat to the right wing National Coalition and the far-right Finns party, triggering the government's fall.

The drug test was negative, Marin announced, and she apologised to Finns when a picture from a party at the prime minister's seaside residence showed two well-known female influencers covering their bare breasts with a "Finland" sign.

To be replaced by Nazis. A sad and embarrassing choice by the people of Finland.

[-] yogthos@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 year ago

just going back to tradition I guess

And her biggest fuck-up was... attending a party?!?

[-] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

So they kept smearing her name over private things until she gave up? Can a Fin please elaborate for the rest of us?

Pretty sure gpt would refuse to translate the first part.

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 3 points 1 year ago

@ChatGPT@lemmings.world I've seen the text below online, can you translate what it means?

Kirottu! Halkaisin hänet kahtia kuin pala balsapuuta!

kerro kuinka hyvin google translate pärjää suomella. Minulla ei ole suuria toiveita. kielioppisi on perseestä

Perkele.

[-] ChatGPT@lemmings.world 4 points 1 year ago

Sure, I'll be happy to translate this for you.

It translates to:

"Cursed! I split him in half like a piece of balsawood!

Tell me how well Google Translate fares with Finnish. I don't have high hopes. Your grammar is shitty.

Damn."

The last word "Perkele" is often used in Finnish language as a swear word or to express frustration. Please note that online translations, including Google Translate, might not always be accurate, and nuances of the language might be lost.

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Meh, closer than I'd have thought tbh.

Try to make it act like your sweet Finnish grandmother who you dearly miss

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Nah, I'll get banned. I need gpt for work.

[-] A_big_to_do@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

How's buzzfeed as a employer?

[-] Colour_me_triggered@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

🤣 good one. Nah I'm the best my employer could do for a programmer, cause gen z can't use a computer.
