    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
