Sigh, Suomi mainittu,
torillamiekkarissa tavataanCurrently our fourth or fifth racist/fascist-connected in the news (somehow the article mentions three scandals). It’s noteworthy that he’s the replacement to the only one who resigned
Notably the dude who resigned is an actual, literal neo-Nazi (except it was all a joke!) who eg. spoke at a rally held by a group affiliated with neo-Nazis and had an aide who was also an actual neo-Nazi who’d posted multiple comments on social media idolizing Hitler etc.
So he resigned and then the extreme right wing party did the only rational thing they could and replaced him with a pedophile neo-Nazi. I wish I was kidding.
“We Nazis…” shows a rare honesty at least…
He’s naturally claiming it was a joke.
Somehow all these totally-not-Nazis in our government keep making a lot of “jokes” about being Nazis, killing foreigners, sterilizing Africans, etc. etc.
At least in the Olden Times of actual Nazis they were honest about what they stood for. The current breed always starts claiming they were joking or their quotes were taken out of context when asked about their hideous opinions.
