"For many foreigners, this is the only job they can get easily," union rep Papy Nkunda says. "With Wolt, to get good money, you have to be outside at least 12 hours."
If ~50% of the voting age population supports an extremist right wing government (pretending they’re not extremists is pointless when we have had eg. multiple governmental neo-Nazi PR flaps and the Speaker of the Parliament has said he’s a “proud Aryan”) and we’re statistically one of the most racist countries in Europe, and immigrants have a notoriously hard time finding anything but menial jobs, I’m not sure what sort of other conclusions you can draw? Well, aside from blaming it all on the immigrants and proving my point, of course.
Seeing as the government is a coalition of parties, maybe it isn’t 100% racist-extremist and that’s why half the Finnish population doesn’t outright reject them?
Right, it’s only 2/4 “I can’t believe it’s not real fascism” + 1/4 “we’d be ok with concentration camps as long as they were privately funded” + 1/4 “we’d be ok with concentration camps as long as the signs are in Swedish and Finnish” which is much better. Especially the National Coalition Party is more or less indistinguishable from the Finns Party, and they’ve made it exceedingly clear that they’re 100% fine with bigotry and many of their members are exactly as bigoted as the worst of PS / KD.
When the PM whines about how the opposition makes Finland look bad by talking to foreign press about literal fucking neo-Nazis in the fucking government, and makes several proclamations about how they won’t stand for racism which is believable for about 4h until the next PS or KOK member says something incredibly racist, it’s not exaclty going to inspire me to believe that the majority of people voting for those shitbags don’t endorse this behavior as well
Where’d you get this data?
