There goes the only politician who managed to only have scandals that made them sound cool as fuck
Cheating on her husband while she has a baby at home?
Since when is dancing “cheating”?
The video makes it pretty clear what’s going down. She has also stated nothing happened he wasn’t aware of, so it might not be cheating regardless.
Seems an awfully specific phrasing in English in regards to what he has agreed to in their relationship, but maybe it’s less suspiciously specific in Finnish.
Or maybe… Nothing happened?
They broke up a couple of months back. Something must have happened.
Puritans simply can’t cope with the idea that powerful women might have some of the same flaws as powerful men.
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!”

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.

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

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:
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.
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.
mom Im seeing Nazis everywhere again
Your meds schizo, take them
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.
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.
The original article contains 431 words, the summary contains 230 words. Saved 47%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
To be replaced by Nazis. A sad and embarrassing choice by the people of Finland.
And her biggest fuck-up was… attending a party?!?

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

Chatgpt does better
Pretty sure gpt would refuse to translate the first part.
@ChatGPT@lemmings.world I’ve seen the text below online, can you translate what it means?

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.
Meh, closer than I’d have thought tbh.
