Martin :computerfairies:

Here it is: the Finnish Parliament has sided against #ChatControl !

I am overjoyed that in their statement, they have outlined exactly what this proposal would entail: mass surveillance in Europe.

From their statement (translation by me):

"..the suggested model would, in fact, lead to the mass surveillance of communication and would weaken the integrity of communication in the EU."

The tide is turning in regards to Finland's support of #ChatControl !

After the decision on Finland's stance on Chat Control was deferred earlier this month, it was sent back to different committees for review.

Now the Transportation and Communications committee has sided against the proposal, stating that Chat Control would constitute widespread mass surveillance. ("...laajamittaista viestinnän massavalvontaa" in Finnish).

Marjanen, J., Strang, J. & Hilson, M. (2022). Contesting Nordicness: From Scandinavianism to the Nordic Brand. Berlin, Boston: De Gruyter Oldenbourg. doi.org/10.1515/9783110730104 #OpenAccess #OA #History #Histodon #Histodons #Europe #European #Scandinavia #Nordic #Denmark #Finland #Iceland #Norway #Sweden #Culture #Book #Books #Bookstodon #Ebook #Ebooks @histodon @histodons @bookstodon (10)

De GruyterContesting NordicnessThe terms ‘Nordic’ and ‘Scandinavian’ are widely used to refer to the politics, society and culture of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. But why have people felt the need to frame things as Nordic and why has the adjective Nordic become so prominent? This book adopts a rhetorical approach, analysing the speech acts which have shaped the meanings of the term. What do the different terms Nordic and Scandinavian have in common, and how have the uses of these terms changed in different historical periods? What accounts for the apparent upsurge in uses of the rhetoric of Nordicness in the 2010s? Drawing on eight case studies of the uses of Nordic and Scandinavian from the nineteenth century to the present day, the book explores the appeal and the flexibility of the rhetoric of Nordicness, in relation to race, openness, gender equality, food, crime fiction, Nordic co-operation and the Nordic model. Arguing that ‘Nordic’ and ‘Scandinavian’ are flexible and contested concepts that have been used in different, often contradictory and inherently political ways, the book suggests that the usage of the term has evolved from a means of creating a cultural community, to forging political co-operation and further to marketing models in politics and popular culture. The rhetorical approach also shows how many of the hallmarks of Nordic political culture, such as the Nordic model, Nordic gender equality or Nordic openness are more recent conceptualisations than usually assumed. As such, the book argues for the need to turn attention away from analysing the different components of Nordicness into studying how, when, and for what purpose different features were made Nordic.

Now all eyes are on SPP.

“…with former minister of social services Eva Biaudet leading an informal group calling for the SPP to quit the coalition.”

“With its nine seats in Parliament, the SPP could topple the government if it votes with the opposition in confidence votes expected when Parliament reconvenes in September.”

Finlands PM Petteri Orpo is very fond of making statements like “this cannot be tolerated in anyway” and leading it with a “but” every single time.

but messages were old.
but she said she’s sorry.
but we talked about it and its fine.
but the government program is so good.
but the government needs to get to work.

I am beginning to think the biggest nazi joke in this government is Petteri Orpo himself.

circus must go on.

”Even though these were private messages, that language is inappropriate and I cannot accept such a way of speaking. But the government's work is what needs to be taken care of," said Orpo.

”The Finns Party chair, Finance Minister and deputy PM Riikka Purra, also said that Rydman's messages were ’inappropriate,’ but downplayed them, saying they were private messages released by a disgruntled former romantic partner.” #politicsFI #politics #finland yle.fi/a/74-20042985

The fascist hate-speaker of parliament says it’s absurd that he is blamed by opposition for taking sides.

Which he definitely is, while exploiting the trust based position as “the moral of the parliament” for his fascist means. This slow motion democratic train crash is very frustrating to witness, especially when most just stand there, watching.

“This is how Jussi Halla-aho (BF) wants fo act as speaker of parliament: “parliament isn’t a kindergarten that needs to be controlled.” The position of speaker of parliament has aroused discussion. Professor emeritus thinks that the neutrality of speakers position shouldn’t be compromised.
Yle article. Some representatives of opposition feel, that the speaker of parliament has not acted neutrally with the benefit of the whole parliament in mind. “I think its curious that to be neutral i should side with opposition. It doesn’t work like that. I based my decision on existing practice and informed decision making allowed of the speaker of parliament,” Halla-aho justifies denying the parliament summon request. Halla-aho doesn’t believe opposition is truly worried about his neutrality, but is disappointed in the decisions he made opposing oppositions wishes.
“They have to have ability and preparedness to defend integrity, role and authority of the parliament against situations coming from outside and inside”, says Salminen. If the speaker pf parliament would act biased, that would have an affect on the functionality of parliament and speaker himself, Salminen says. It could for example stir up protest mentality. “Is the base of everything that the speaker of parliament remains neutral. On that is build the trustworthiness and trust of the political system towards the speaker of parliament. It is obvious that if the neutrality is at stake it affects the work of the speaker in multiple ways. Some may feel his creditability is at risk, and that might narrow the possibilities the speaker has to fulfill his constitutional duty, meaning the whole parliamentary system. Salminen sees that the speaker of parliament is sort of a moral leader of the parliament.
Quotes by Jussi Halla-aho, speaker of the finnish parliament. Jussi tweets: ”Some are always thinking about nazis. I suggest you find something better to do.” from interview: “They encourage this psychosis like mentality at least into one very loud and airspace filling group.” Halla-aho doesn’t think that opposition is actually worried about his neutrality, but is disappointed with the decisions he has made, which have been opposing oppositions wishes. “the principle of the parliament is to follow the will of the majority, not the leftists.” “I think this discussion is some sort of mourning done by the green leftists activists and journalists because we do not have a leftist government anymore.” tweets by halla-aho: “i got the impression during last government season that the shaking of institutions is a positive phenomenon. did it go out of fashion?” “constitution, working order of parliament and established ways are surely ‘technical questions’ but none the less important guidelines. the option is arbitrary and ‘red commie mentality’ where the most aggressive and loudest gets their opinion through.” “1/4 some facets seem to be feeling bad over the justifiable, just and strong in historically views decision i made. In the middle of the anger one should remember the good sides of it.” someone answers to halla-ahos tweet: red commie mentality, you are a sick man and completely unsuitable to be the speaker of parliament.” jussi answers: “get over it.”

“Leader of Christian Democrats Sari Essayah says; No one should be mocked as a nazi or black sack.”

I am once again left with no words to describe this shit show.

The action program she mentions has only white people in it, as well as literal fucking nazis AND it is literally the same program mentioned above as “program thats struggling cause BF doesn’t care for it”.
So good luck with that.

What would Jesus do?#naziJokeGovernment #naziJokeMinister #politics #politicsFI #finland #naziscum

HS article. Politics, government. Sari Essayah: No one should be called a nazi nor a black sack. Leader of Christian Democrats says that the finnish society has to clearly resign from antisemitism and hate speech. (photo of Essayah giving a speech.) Leader of CD Sari Essayah told STT in an interview that she hopes for more “forgiveness speech”.
Goverment party CDs leader Sari Essayah tells that she has been feeling bad and partly surprised by the writings ghat has been lifted into publicity in the early times of the government. Essayah commented her views about government crisis, apology of Riikka Purra (leader of BF) and racist writing of Purra to STT in thursday evening on phone call. “I think it is utmost importance that there has been an apology and resignation (of old writings) has been made. And on the other hand now we have this workshop, which leads actions regarding this program for actions.” she says. Action program Essayah mentions is meant to weed out racist speech. She says it is important to clearly resign from racism, antisemitism and hate speech as a society.
“I think you could say, that in finnish society anyone shouldn’t be called with names, not as nazi nor as black sacks. I think that we should see other humans as our neighbours and treat them as such” Essayah says. Essayah thinks it is good that “douple messaging” and other potential below the surface subjects have come up in Finland. Double messaging is when for example a small group of far right is shown support with symbols unknown to the great public. “We cant have any of that in finnish society. So in that sense the conversation has also been clearing air.” she says.
