If people get to problematic situations they have to solve them by themselves. I think Finnish consulates borrow money in extreme cases, but otherwise people are supposed to deal with it by themselves when abroad. So if they want to get back to Finland.. well it's their job to arrange and make the trip.

Can't do? Well too bad. No one forces people to leave Finland.

Basically on EU level I want EU people to have nice things and people outside of EU not to have them.

On Finland's level I want Finland and Finnish people to have nice things and others not to have them.

And as a second question, how are you planning to advance your ideas and goals on a municipal level?

I am open to workable/viable ideas on how to make a city less desireable place to move in from abroad, on municipal level. Somehow Helsinki and surrounding cities in Uusimaa have managed to make their cities more desireable, so we have to make whatever they are doing but opposite I guess? :v:

Something like not offering free healthcare to non-citizens, not offering/opening VOK's, not offering toimeentulotuki or whatever monetary support non-citizens currently receive, no free housing to non-citizens, refusing to take quota refugees if all that is legally and politically somehow possible etc. etc. are the ideas rear end finns want? I suppose. I don't know exactly, they don't usually go to specifics in municipal election programs...

For example towns/cities negotiate with ELY-keskus yearly on how many quota refugees each city takes. I assume it is somehow possible to take zero, with considerable poilitical heat from rest of the country. But that is what rear end fins want so :shrug:

I imagine they are trying to figure out on how to get more money to a city budget so they can spend it on various things like healthcare, projects, roads, water, all kinds of small things what a city needs to run. How to organize and find resources to do the jobs the states says cities must do. Then they have lautakuntas where they discuss and vote about all the thousands of small things.

Good question. There is a fair body of evidence that conservative xenophobia is a vestige of disease avoidance strategies in early human populations, so it would only seem logical that PS voters would be the most concerned about disease, right?

Indeed, a PS activist I know keeps ranting stuff in the vein of "the goddam incompetent chickenshit girl government can't bring itself to declare full martial law, curfew, mask mandate and border closure right now"

In many cases though, this instinct is overruled by the average PS activists' spitefulness (anything to own the libs in goverment), FYGM approach to altruism and tendency to subscribe to various conspiracy theories.

I hope this can be changed somehow. It is bad for persut to be anti-mask or anti-vax or publicly voice some crazy rear end conspiracy theories. It does not enhance the already quite bad image of the party.


Qtamo posted:

So your view of the scarcity of resources and land comes only from a competitive point of view where "we" need to be the ones hoarding and overusing the resources?

Yes. The current system is heavily based on buying dirt-cheap goods and services from mass-murdering genocidal country, china. china gets resources for industries by destroying china's enviroment and ripping off and stealing the resources from other countries, especially in Africa too. Ideally EU would wean off the dependency of cheap chinese goods and buy them elsewhere or make them in EU.

If we manage to reduce the amount of people living in Finland it becomes easier to avoid overusing resources if there are fewer people using them. In limited resource scenario I see options as:
- some reasonable amount of people living in plenty
- a larger amount of people living in poorer, less advanced conditions

quote:

You keep bringing up this idea of a multilevel "don't want others here" hierarchy (city/country/continent). Why are the ends at the city/continent (or EU) levels instead of neighborhood and planet?

Because lots of people want to move in to EU. Just look at the situation in EU borders. Generally EU citizens don't want to move to Finland because the wages and climate suck. But when people outside of EU get to EU they want to end up living somewhere, and part of that group ends up eventually in Finland too.

quote:

Should Uusimaa or whatever maakunta you live in become a "no others allowed" area and completely ban immigration from other maakuntas? Is the purest form of this whole idea some inbred village in Pohjanmaa?

Not really, no. No. The idea is to say things in a politically correct way, but let/hope people understand what the words really mean.

quote:

Is immigration from within the EU more favored than from outside of it or should all immigration be banned?

Immigration from EU is more favored. On a country level a country wants educated people who can get a well-paying job or generate more jobs by creating new companies etc. Poor people are mainly a burden on country and so far it seems mostly poor people want to move in here because nearly no one else wants to.

quote:

I mean, the answer to all of this is probably ethnonationalism so we should just leave the EU and so on, but it always makes me a bit curious if there's more thought to it.

Leaving EU is kind of difficult because EU provides many benefits. Being in EU is a compromise. Finland living outside EU would be hell for Finland. Finland isn't UK or Norway which can just YOLO it because of their connections or wealth.

quote:

Wait, would you say your beliefs actually boil down to FYGM? If that's the case, you'll fit right in into municipal level politics, but you'll probably be really disappointed when you figure out that even persus don't care about vastaanottokeskukset on a municipal level as long as they're not in the politicians' own backyards. This goes for absolutely every issue for absolutely every party, though.

Yes, FYGM. It is a difficult challenge to make people see and decide on issues on municipal level. Very targeted/precise NIMBY decisions are not very useful. I don't see what difference does it make where the VOK is. It is too narrow scoped thinking to only want the VOK be to somewhere else than in their own backyards. The politicans should aim for a bigger scope.

EU boycotts Russia because of good reasons. I understand why EU is not boycotting china altough EU has very good reasons to boycott... it is money and dependancy on the goods and services they provide. Just like with the nazis.

Qtamo posted:

They're useless decisions and actions, but that's (sadly) what most municipal decisions boil down to, and most politicians at that level are drawn to the most useless things. As a tip: should you happen to get elected, try to get into a lautakunta that deals with zoning, infrastructure and schools. The two first ones are pretty often in the same lautakunta, at least in smaller cities. Those functions all have a massive impact on the finances of the municipality, either directly or in a more indirect way (zoning), plus they'll still be there after soteuudistus happens. And try to figure out something local to actually focus on, something you can have an impact on. This has way more worth to the wellbeing of everyone in your municipality than obsessing over us vs them.

I am very bored thanks to korona and I needed to figure out something to do with my time. Elections seemed to be a nice hobby project! I got accepted to the candidate list yesterday and before that I didn't want to spend too much time on what I actually want to do. That would have been a big waste if I got refused. Also rear end finns haven't published the local municipal election program/themes so I have no idea what the local rear end finn's election goals are. Vihreät have an impressive 50-point list...

It would be kind of awkward to have my own themes to be drastically different from local rear end finns, at least without me first knowing what the local themes "should" be.. I am hoping they release them very soon. I also need to think about personal, concrete themes which are not just "more money/spending for X" since those are too easy themes :v: Who doesn't know a list of targets where to spend someone's else money on!

I don't know of areas/subjects that are extremely wrong/sucky, just on the usual level of wrongness typical in many Finnish towns. I would like to infulence how the buildings look like here instead of the neukkukuutiot style. Arkkitehtuurikapina-style is more to my taste. But it may be wrong to force that style to others, if the majority really likes the neukkukuutiot style of construction...

Getting good things done locally and getting popular are also the way to get to eduskunta, which should realistically be your goal if you want to have an impact on most of things you've been writing about.

Do you understand that your political philosophy would result into wherever you live being "not as great" in those many other ways as well? People don't want to move into places governed by xenophobic incompetents across the entire world. Much less in Finland.

One realistic strategy would perhaps be:
- have enough xenophilic competents or w/e to run the city well enough.
- and to have enough xenophobic incompetents to influence xenophobic decisionmaking

In other words, hope the competents want to make compromises with incompetents in certain questions, so the incompetents help the competents to vote for some other important subject to the competents.

One other strategy is to somehow educate or at least keep the incompetents at bay from inside the rear end finns, if possible. At least it doesn't work that the incompetent people just fester with each other without a guiding hand to a better form and direction.
