… what
Yeah it’s the same here, they and the younger gens have apparently gotten very polarized; the ones who are “good eggs” are really decent folks, and the shitty ones are really shitty.
So while the extremist reich wing party PS (Perussuomalaiset or “Finns Party”, because naturally only a nationalist wank is a real Finn) was their most popular party, as a proportion of their cohorts more young people voted for the Left Alliance than older ones did. Here’s a handy table from our 2023 parliamentary elections (source):
Actually based on that study the claim that gen Z is more conservative than older gens doesn’t seem to hold up. Seems like they’re about as conservative, but also more likely to vote Left
Hmm, I wonder if Gen Z’s politics are different over there compared to here, because at least in Finland the 2. most popular parties they voted for were a right wing extremist party and a “fiscally conservative” party that is essentially indistinguishable from the extremist one (the joke is that the way to tell them apart is that the “fiscal conservatives” wear more expensive suits.) Sure, many do also vote for eg. the Left Alliance who are democratic socialists, but on the whole the generation is more conservative than the older ones
I’m not entirely convinced putting the US in charge of it would make things any better. It’s not like eg. Facebook or Twitter aren’t full of reich wing bullshit on purpose
Honestly I think we’re thoroughly fucked at this point
Same shit happened here in Finland too, our extremist right wing party is very active on TikTok and the under 25’s voted for them in droves. That generation is more conservative than Millennials or even younger Gen X, which is a bit fucked up. Especially young men and boys have gone off the deep end
It’s always great fun when people who have absolutely zero fucking clue how something works declare it “stupid”.
That’s pretty much how I expect things to go as well. Russians have a long history of imprisoning and outright murdering any POWs returning to Russia – they know the stories the POWs have would run counter to the bullshit they’re fed, so it’s easier to just get rid of the POWs if they don’t toe the line.
And it’s not like this is the first prisoner exchange that’s happened during this war. If released POWs were actually capable of changing the narrative, they’d probably already have done so.
People released from Russian captivity always look like concentration camp victims.
It’s disgusting how so many western “leaders” seem to be completely OK with the idea of letting Russia win. That country needs to be dealt with somehow, they’re quite literally fucking evil.
Oh I wish it was. Eg. here in Finland sharing movies etc. among friends or downloading them off the internet used to be legal as long as you weren’t doing it for profit or distributing stuff to a huge audience, but that changed in 2006 because the new EU Copyright Directive required it, and that directive was hugely influenced by the likes of WIPO.
