Roni Arvonen said that the story of the Kuuntelija podcast began unknowingly in the spring of 2021 when he was depressed. He mentioned becoming accustomed to the mockery he received online, forgiving his critics, and thanking them for the attention. According to Arvonen, the actions of his own party colleagues from the National Coalition felt particularly hurtful at that time, and he felt they continued their criticism long after he had already hit rock bottom. He described gradually rising from that difficult situation through weightlifting and judo training. Arvonen expressed his gratitude to the National Coalition for the spring of 2021 and stated that he is now living the best time of his life. He cited as reasons his healthy young child, his wife, and the opportunity to work full-time on his own talk show. #kuuntelijapodcast #elämäntarinoita #masennus (translated)

In the interest of the linguistic development and the development of Estonian culture, it is necessary to equalize this right so that Seto, Võru, and other languages have similar rights in the education system. Education Minister Kristina Kallas told ERR that the change is necessary because, for example, children whose mother tongue is Russian or Ukrainian currently have the right to demand that the school teach them their mother tongue for two hours a week, while children who speak Võru, Seto, or Mulgi at home do not have the same right. #murdekeel #kohalikkultuur #haridusreform (translated)

Jari Mäkäräinen criticized an article in Helsingin Sanomat and said he had made corrections to it. According to him, the nonfiction writer Ari Haasio and Mattila had suggested that Finnish identity was ambiguous, compared the mistrust faced by evacuees from Karelia to current fears directed at Muslims, and stated that everyone was a descendant of immigrants. Mäkäräinen wrote that migration was an old phenomenon, but migrations from different times could not be equated. He noted that the first people arrived in what is now Finland about 11,000 years ago and believed that this did not provide a basis for equating the current migration from Afghanistan or Somalia with the arrivals of earlier traders, craftsmen, or industrial founders. He described Finlayson as an actor that built factories in capital-poor Finland, brought technology, and created jobs. Mäkäräinen compared him to a Mohammed coming from Somalia, who he described as illiterate and dependent on Kela support. He believed these examples illustrated different types of migration and claimed that there were differences in education, employment, cultural distance, and criminality. He also claimed that those coming from Afghanistan were overrepresented in rape statistics. Regarding the evacuees from Karelia, Mäkäräinen wrote that they had come from within Finland, spoke Finnish, and shared key features of Finnish culture. He said they had faced mistrust and derogatory name-calling, but believed they differed from current arrivals from Afghanistan, for example, in terms of adaptation, work ethic, and use of social security. Mäkäräinen also denied the comparison made by Haasio and Mattila between 19th-century antisemitism and the Somali discussions of the 1990s. According to him, the groups were not similar, and Jews had mostly integrated well. He argued that current migrations should be evaluated based on their impacts on employment, crime, and social security. Finally, he wrote that the continuity of society required, in his opinion, the adaptation of newcomers. #maahanmuutto #suomalaisuus #kulttuuri (translated)

Alex Günsberg wrote that, according to him, an equivalent amount to Finland's average pension could be accumulated by investing 1,500 euros in the S&P 500 index for a child at birth if the retirement age were 70 years, or 2,100 euros if it were 65 years. He claimed that through the Ponzi scheme he described, 2.4 billion euros in investment costs and 438 million euros in implementation costs were transferred to interest groups of the state. Günsberg stated the TER for costs was about 1.15% and the TER for the S&P 500 index fund was 0.03%. According to him, savings would accumulate about 3 billion euros per year without changes to current pensions if the state's manipulation were stopped. #eläke #sijoittaminen #talous (translated)
