We keep getting this question from our audience, so here it is, once again: we won't take the vax. At least not until there is sufficient, independent data showing that it would do us good.

We're not anti-vaxxers. We just don't want to be guinea-pigs for an experimental drug.

I support the general children's vax program and have taken the flu shot several times myself. I only skipped one year because then it was a different and new vaccine than previously - for the same reasons I'm now skipping the covid vaccine. And don't try guilting me on this.
->
People have tried that with me with comments like: "SO YOU'RE MAKING OTHER PEOPLE BE THE GUINEA-PIGS!". No, I'm making my decision, others are making theirs. I'm not trying to sway anyone else either way. Do what you sincerely think is best for you.
->
What bugs me is using risk-groupers, such as myself, as a means to guilt others into becoming test subjects. No one asks the risk-groupers what they think of all this. They're just a hobby horse that non-risk-groupers who are all for this vaccine and lockdowns are riding on.
->
My opinion is that everyone has the primary responsibility over their own health. Forcing others to risk theirs to protect you is selfish and reckless. I can take measures to keep myself safe without anyone else having to do anything to risk their own safety, thank you very much.

It's Finnish Independence Day, and it's time for nationalists to remind people that it's imore than a flag filter on your profile pic or tweeting some platitude about war veterans.

Being a Finn is our unique identity, and as all previous generations did, we must preserve it.
->
Despite being a small people of 5,5 million people, a Finn can easily be told with a gene test from any of our neighbors. We are a moment in a continuum of thousands of years of Finnish tribes living on this land and improving it for the next generation.
->
We're not, and we should never be, grey, multicultural globohomo mass. If that's what we become, Finland will cease to exist.

The state of Finland is an institution, and its foundation is the Finnish people. No nation without a people, no people without a bloodline.

Data about welfare for migrants in Finland (thread).

66% of people who come from typical refugee countries receive income supplementation.

Saajia: Amount of benefit receivers
Saajien osuus: % of receivers in that group
Pakolaisten lähtömaat: Refugee origin countries
->
55% of immigrants from refugee countries in Finland receive unemployment checks.

That doesn't mean 55% are unemployed.

The number is higher, but not all of them are eligible for unemployment checks, so they get income supplementation instead.
->
75% of immigrants from typical refugee countries receive housing benefit.

They have big families, so they get big apartments, and since they want to live in the big cities, understandably their rents are high.

But who cares, when they don't have to pay for it, right?

Olen yrittänyt analysoida, miksi ranskalaisten reaktio #SamuelPaty mestaukseen on herättänyt erilaisen ja vahvemman reaktion kuin kaikki ne aiemmat iskut, vaikka osa aiemmista iskuista, kuten Nizza ja Bataclan, olivat paljon tuhoisampia. Tässä analyysin tulokset:
->
Aikaisemmat terrori-iskut ovat noudattaneet kahta eri kaavaa: joko on ISIS-isku täysin sattumanvaraisia kohteita kohtaan tai isku jotain erityisesti muslimit suututtanutta tahoa kohtaan, kuten Charlie Hebdo -isku. Mutta tämä opettajan mestaus ei noudata kumpaakaan kaavaa.
->
Hän ei ollut sattumanvarainen uhri muttei mikään julkkiskaan. Hän oli tavis, joka oli työssään tehnyt jotain, mikä pillastutti paikalliset muslimit ja hänet vain tapettiin työpaikallaan. Sellaista iskua on vaikeampi rationalisoida vähäisemmäksi uhaksi kuin aiempia iskuja.

Perussuomalaisen Nuorison eli näin ystävien kesken peppu-jugendin pj Miko Bergbom on Ylen haastattelussa uuden järjestön linjasta yms. Puretaanpa Mikon ajatusmaailmaa hieman twiittiketjulla. Jo otsikossa piilovittuillaan Mikolle, joten jännää on tiedossa.
->
Miko on sananvapauden puolustaja, joka sivutoimenaan pyrkii laajentamaan vaiennettavan vihapuheen määritelmää koskemaan myös vieraan valtion sotatoimien kritisointia. No, harrastuksensa kullakin.
->
No niin, heti mennään pakolaisten auttamiseen. Kansallismielisen mielessä kuuluisi pyöriä ensisijaisesti Suomen kansan auttaminen, ja toissijaisesti eurooppalaisten veljeskansojemme auttaminen, koska he taistelevat samoja uhkia vastaan kuin me.

Äärioikeistolaiselle väkivallalle olisi kovasti kysyntää vihervasemmiston riveissä, mutta koska tarjontaa on heikosti, marttyyrit haetaan sieltä, mistä nyt saadaan, eli otetaan vaikkapa joku #JimiKarttunen ja ruvetaan porukalla tekemään siitä antifasistista sankaria.
->
Fakta on, että ainoa peruste tälle kanonisoinnille oli se, että Karttusella oli kahnaus PVL:n kanssa. Laitavasemmistoa ei kiinnosta, oliko hänellä poliittista ideologiaa vai oliko kyseessä päihtyneen päähänpisto, koska se ei ole olennaista. Olennaista on juuri marttyyrius.
->
Siksi antifa myös tyystin sivuuttaa Karttusen kiusalliset kirjoittelut juutalaisista. Totuudella tai sillä, oliko hänellä antifasistista ideologiaa, ei ole mitään väliä. Marttyyrinviitta oli soviteltu harteille jo heti siinä kohtaa, kun potkaisijaksi paljastui Torniainen.

It's painful to see nationalists who have lost sight of what the point of politics is and fallen for political tribalism: "These guys are our side, and whatever they do is good. The other guys are the enemy, and whatever they do is bad. I 100% support my candidate/party."
->
So these are the people who support "our guys" in politics even when they're not fighting for our cause. Like Trump/GOP stans who can't criticize him even when he's going against nationalist policy or even doing something that's actively harmful to the cause.
->
The Finnish version of this are the Finns Party stans who attack anyone criticizing the party even when it's warranted criticism. They have forgotten that the party and politicians are just tools for achieving the actual goal. They're not the cause we're fighting for.
