Sture Fjäder believed that the chairman of the National Coalition Party should announce that the party would exclude the blue-red government and thus government cooperation with the SDP. He also wrote that the National Coalition Party should aim to form a center-right government. According to Fjäder, this would be the only way to take leadership on the right; otherwise, the Finns Party would continue its own line. #KOK https://t.co/sQ6sEXzLlb #vaalit2027 #KOK #politiikka (translated)
Kristina Kivinen wrote that the president of Somalia had welcomed Somalis to Somalia. She estimated that dual citizens would integrate there better than in Finland and justified this with religion, Sharia law, and language. According to Kivinen, there would be no racism, True Finns, snow, winter, or dogs in Somalia, but Kela benefits would be lacking. #Somalia #Kansalaisuus #Integraatio (translated)
Klaus said he had responded to a user named Sukkola, who he claimed had blocked him. He stated that his criticism was directed at Said Aw-Musse's position as a religious authority rather than at his personal actions. Klaus described classical Sunni Islam as a tradition in which sharia is seen as divinely ordained and as a legal system superior to human laws. According to him, it included legal, moral, and social rules regarding, among other things, testimony, inheritance, apostasy, and legislative authority. Klaus wrote that Aw-Musse had studied theology in Saudi Arabia and worked in a mosque where the teachings of Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab had been used. He described this figure as an ultra-conservative thinker who demanded the return of Islam to its literal roots. According to Klaus, Aw-Musse's refusal to clarify his position on the primacy of Finnish law and the status of sharia justified suspicion. Merely following the law, in his opinion, did not indicate whether he considered the constitutional order of Finland to be just and final or a temporary imposition. Klaus expressed a desire to know what kind of Finland Aw-Musse envisioned in 50 or 100 years. Klaus believed that questions regarding women's rights, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and criminal law were not leading him into a trap but were inquiries into whether Aw-Musse accepted the principles of the Finnish rule of law. He deemed Aw-Musse's public stance significant for its societal relevance due to his religious role. According to Klaus, integration required not only adherence to the law but also acceptance of fundamental values. #uskonto #oikeudet #kulttuuri (translated)
Mika Merano criticized the reported proposals to raise the retirement age to over 70 years and described the idea as extremely senseless. According to him, the proposals were based on the view that people would have an invisible debt to the state and that their role would be to produce tax revenue by working nearly until the end of their lives. Merano called for a reform of the pension system in the opposite direction. He argued that the state should provide only a small minimum safety net and shift more responsibility to the individuals themselves. He suggested a large-scale reduction in mandatory pension contributions so that people would have more money left from their salaries and could save for their retirement if they wanted. Merano justified his stance by emphasizing individual freedom and personal responsibility. He stated that the state should not dictate how long people should work or how they should use their money. #eläke #yksilönvapaudet #valtiopolitiikka (translated)

Otto Juote criticized the National Coalition Party for allegedly abandoning its values and becoming an assistant to the right-wing government. He wrote that disappointed voters were shifting to support the Left Alliance and the Social Democratic Party and questioned where the previously promised projects, such as Garden Helsinki, senior spa vouchers, and the sale of natural monopolies to international investors, had gone. Juote ironically described the National Coalition Party as a leftist social-liberal party, which in his view had previously supported, among other things, state-owned projects, service vouchers, increased immigration from developing countries, climate actions, and support packages. He claimed that the party had also held onto acquired benefits while it spoke of cuts and reducing debt. Additionally, Juote asked why discussions about entrepreneurship, economic growth, and warnings about right-wing policies seemed to have disappeared from the party. He wrote that Orpo's National Coalition Party no longer reflected the pragmatic interest group and system party that he had previously supported. Juote estimated that he would likely vote for a red tie-wearing socialist in the upcoming elections instead of a blue tie-wearing one for the first time. #Kokoomus #Vasemmistoliitto #Politiikka (translated)
Jouko S. wrote that the decline in support for the National Coalition Party was, in his opinion, solely the fault of the Finns Party. He estimated that the support for the National Coalition Party would continue to decline because the party's representatives were, in his view, extremely arrogant and refused to admit that the responsibility lay with themselves and not others. https://t.co/zhlhe5cBaM #Politiikka #Suomi #Kokoomus (translated)
Juho Hirvelä warned in his writing that the western Finn cattle, which belongs to Finland's native breeds, was on the brink of extinction according to him. He stated that the same concern applied to the eastern Finn cattle, or Kyttö, and the Lapland cow. According to Hirvelä, the Ketomo family business from Northern Finland reported that it uses milk from all three native breeds in its ice creams. The company had also raised dark bees of the north during the summer and intended to showcase native breeds at the I Love Me fair. Hirvelä thanked Ketomo for its work for native cattle and hoped for more similar businesses. He encouraged people to check out the company’s ice creams in grocery store freezers and mentioned that the fair would be held at the Helsinki Messukeskus from October 16 to 18, 2026. Hirvelä estimated that saving the native cattle required getting the animals back into production. According to him, they would not be saved in Korkeasaari Zoo or at the mercy of wild wolves. He wrote that the native cattle had helped the Finnish people during years of famine and that now it was time for people to help them. #alkuperäiskarjat #suomi #kestäväkehitys (translated)
Alex Günsberg compared the Finnish pension system to a pyramid scheme. According to him, an entrepreneur would receive a prison sentence for years if they funded the benefits paid to the old with the money from new payers. Günsberg wrote that the only difference in the system was that the state could, in his view, compel payers to participate under the threat of violence. #eläkejärjestelmä #yrittäjyys #pyramidihuijaus (translated)
Tanja Aidanjuuri wrote that the plan in Helsinki to ban advertising of fossil fuels could, according to her, cost the city nearly 100 million euros in advertising revenue. She criticized the proposal as unnecessary and absurd and listed as examples of potentially restricted advertising gasoline and diesel cars, flights, cruises, synthetic clothing, plastic products, and fossil fuels. Aidanjuuri described that the Greens in Vantaa could, in her opinion, follow the same line and that advertising would then practically be limited to, for example, veggie sausages, rainbow flags, and new mosques. She also pointed out that taxpayer money would be used for the handling of the matter. Aidanjuuri cited a proposal stating that the advertising ban would be investigated in the preparation of the next outdoor advertising agreement for Helsinki's public areas and that the advertising agreements of Urban Traffic Ltd would also be taken into account. The assessment would examine, among other things, the legal boundaries of the ban, its climate and environmental impacts, effects on the city's economy, the city's own communication and marketing, as well as the media landscape. The proposal also mentioned the possibility of examining advertising's ethical principles more broadly and limiting outdoor advertising from entities considered to violate human rights and particularly polluting industries. #Helsinki #ilmastonmuutos #mainonta (translated)
Anatoli Karatammi stated that he had asked an artificial intelligence about the voting in Finland that has sparked discussions and its consequences, such as the bottle return issues. According to him, the artificial intelligence responded that only representatives of the Finns Party opposed the vote, and that representatives from the National Coalition Party, the Social Democrats, the Centre Party, and the Greens voted in favor of it. https://t.co/BJgKSkTM42 #Suomi #äänestys #tekoäly (translated)
Venla Manninen wrote that, in her opinion, there was evidence presented regarding the effects of mass immigration on Western countries and that the situation in Germany, France, and Britain, as well as statistics on sexual crimes, unemployment benefits, prisoners, and gangs could not be ignored. She believed that the differences between parties were evident in how willing they were to address the problems of immigration. According to Manninen, the Finns Party was the only credible party to solve these issues. She criticized the green-left for focusing on multiculturalism and stated that the Social Democrats had voted against nearly all of the government's immigration tightening measures. She also highlighted the border security law, claiming that six social democrats, including the party's vice-chairman, voted against it. Manninen criticized the Centre Party for its lack of direction and noted that the party had announced it was aiming for 40,000 net immigrants per year in this electoral term. She described the National Coalition Party as contradictory: according to her, the party spoke about deporting criminals while simultaneously wanting tens of thousands of immigrants for low-wage jobs. Manninen argued that only a small portion of labor immigrants found employment in jobs requiring special skills and that nearly all directed towards low-wage sectors. Manninen believed that the Finns Party was advancing Finland's and the Finns' interests and dared to say things that, in her opinion, other parties did not acknowledge. However, she pointed out that no party could change laws on its own. She stated that without the Finns Party in government, concrete legislative actions would not be taken to address immigration issues, and instead, tightening measures might be lifted and rules loosened. #maahanmuutto #Suomi #politiikka (translated)
The True Finns wrote that they warned about the problems of immigration at a time when other parties described immigration and multiculturalism as a richness. The party claimed to be the only one that took the downsides of immigration seriously and was able to offer solutions to them. According to the True Finns, the problems were not solved by virtue signaling or by aiming for 45,000 new work-related immigrants annually, but by acknowledging the facts and basing politics on them. The party stated that under the leadership of its interior minister, immigration policy had been tightened historically, and practically all tightening of the government program had been implemented. It referred to a 24-point list of changes in policy. #ps #perussuomalaiset #maahanmuutto #maahanmuutto #perussuomalaiset #politiikka (translated)

Dennis Mitzner criticized Timo Stewart for suggesting that he believed Israel was an obstacle to the two-state solution. Mitzner argued that the Palestinians had not accepted Israel's state proposals in direct negotiations, the latest of which were the Camp David and Taba offers in 2000–2001, as well as Ehud Olmert's offers in 2008. He added that Israel unilaterally withdrew from Gaza in 2005. According to Mitzner, the PLO's decades-old support for the two-state solution did not indicate that the Palestinians accepted Israel's existence as a Jewish state. Mitzner wrote that Stewart viewed the destruction of Hamas's ideology as unrealistic without killing all people. Mitzner interpreted this to mean that Stewart considered all Gazans as supporters of Hamas's ideology, but he himself said he would not go that far. He referred to Hamas's election in Gaza and claimed that no Gazan had attempted to help Israeli hostages in the past couple of years. Mitzner compared the situation to the Allies' victory over Nazism and the defeat of Japan, as well as the actions of the United Arab Emirates against the Muslim Brotherhood. He stated that the Western left should stop rewarding Palestinian violence and anti-Semitism. According to Mitzner, Stewart claimed that there was no Palestinian state because Israel occupied the territory and did not allow it to become independent. Mitzner denied this and described the area's history: according to him, it belonged to the British mandate from 1917 and prior to that to the Ottoman Empire. He wrote that the Arab leadership rejected the UN's 1947 partition plan, after which Jordan controlled the West Bank and Egypt controlled Gaza without establishing a Palestinian state. According to Mitzner, the territories came under Israeli control in the 1967 war, which Jordan, Egypt, and Syria initiated with the intent to destroy, and the Arab world's negative attitude towards Israel continued with the Khartoum resolution of the three no's. Mitzner claimed that Stewart ignored Palestinian actions and concluded by asking whether the dispute ultimately related to the fact that the opposing side was the Jewish state of Israel. #IsraelinVastaisetAsenteet #Palestiinalaiskysymys #KansainvälinenPolitiikka (translated)
The Finns Party wrote that Marin's government had opened the opportunity for students from third countries and their family members to come to Finland and benefit from Finnish education and social security at the taxpayers' expense. The party stated that it had started to limit the program and said the work would continue in the next election term. According to them, the Finns Party was the only party that could continue this work. #siksiPS #perussuomalaiset #opiskelijat #maahanmuutto #opiskelijat #maahanmuutto #perussuomalaiset (translated)

Elina Hiltunen wrote that, in her opinion, people were expected to constantly perform, be independent, and emphasize their own accomplishments or identity, even though not everyone could manage alone or was perfect. She described such belief systems as ruthless. Hiltunen stated that in Christianity, salvation could not be achieved by one's own deeds or rules, but it was a gift from Jesus. According to her, no one was better than others, and everyone needed grace. She wrote that receiving the gift made a person love their enemies as well. Hiltunen encouraged those who saw Christianity as rules and abstaining from fun to get to know Jesus with an open mind. She recommended starting with the New Testament instead of the Bible and asked readers to share their thoughts and join her Instagram community to discuss the topic. She also urged sharing the video further. #armo #kristinusko #yhteisö (translated)
