Oh and one big thing here is that all this is absolutely a smoke screen for the capitalist class.

They have now kept this culture war stuff on the front page since the election. Meanwhile they have already given a huge handout to the richest in this country by adjusting taxation on investments. This however isn't outrage worthy and is more complicated so nobody talks about that.

Same with the absolutely crushing long list of cuts they are pushing to the most fundamental workers rights.

The progressives and libs are all busy doing anti-fascist marching and being deeply outraged by the racism and at the same time we are getting deeply screwed. A lot of "the poors voted wrong" discourse as well. Also people being worried about our "country brand" with zero awareness of where that sort of discourse comes from. Finland Incorporated is where we live.

Personally am pretty exhausted by it. Everyone believes that if we had just kept the neolibs at the helm, none of this would happen. They forget how all the covid support went to capitalists, how covid protection was dropped as soon as investment said no. How our healthcare system has been steadily collapsing for decades regardless of who the talking heads are. The Left party voted for nato here and is fully a capitalist party that does social justice, all forms of class consciousness is just gone.
