Unfortunately having more choices doesn’t necessarily mean people get any smarter. In Finland we have about 20-ish registered political parties (in a country of 5 million) and we now have a far right government that lied its way into power, gutted our welfare system, destroyed public healthcare, significantly weakened worker protection from getting fired spuriously, made political strikes illegal to stop people protesting them, and has multiple literal neo-Nazis in it.
Do you guys think you’re suffering from an external propaganda force as well? I’ll put my tin foil hat on for this, but It really seems like all this extreme right wing bullshit spreading around the “western world” is happening to destabilize countries as an act of “information warfare.”
Or it’s the usual grifters gotta grift and we keep falling for greedy assholes that want easy money and political power. :(
We’re fairly conservative compared to the rest of the Nordics, so it’s probably just a case of Finns being complete fucking imbeciles as per usual. It’s even been a running joke here that Russia doesn’t have to do anything to us, we’re perfectly capable of fucking up the country ourselves.
And it’s not likely to get any better either. The under-25’s are more conservative than millennials or even Gen X
Wait, 5 million people had 20 different choices, and y’all picked the nazis? How the fuck did that happen?
Too many Nazis here, and I’m not being facetious.
The best (“best”) part is that one minister essentially had to resign because he’s a Nazi, so the extremist right wing party (well, one of them…) replaced him with a pedophile Nazi. Somehow he hasn’t been forced to resign. I guess part of it is that he’s more “smart” about his Nazism and doesn’t do it as openly as the other dude, and reich-wingers say that he’s not a pedophile because he didn’t get convicted, but that’s only because cops couldn’t (or, more likely, wouldn’t) prove anything except that he had asked eg. teenagers out on dates, called them sexy etc etc but none of that is illegal.
Honestly this country is incredibly fucked up and in case anybody was planning to visit I recommend staying the fuck away, there’s better vacation spots with fewer Nazis.
But yeah, I don’t think any system of government will work. Humans are just way too shitty on average

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I hope for the best for you folks though!!

My point is that Americas system is fucked, and has been for a while.
Idk if any country right now has a foolproof system, or if that even exists in this word, but what we are doing isn’t working.

Whats the age of consent over there?
16, looks like. Why?
Cause in america its 18, so technically fins are already pedophiles if they legally hookup with a 16 year old. Its crazy pedophilia is subjective
And then there’s the chuds who go “ackchually it’s not pedophilia it’s ephhpehehehbebehophilia” when the kids are past puberty.
