A HANDFUL of the Finns Party’s ministers have made overt and less overt references to the predominantly white far-right conspiracy theory known as the great replacement or replacement theory.
Helsingin Sanomat on Monday reported that Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Ville Tavio (PS) has pointed to the conspiracy theory in a number of statements in the session hall of the Finnish Parliament.
The theory alleges that left-leaning domestic or international elites are trying to replace the white population with non-white immigrants, enabling non-white majorities to take control of key institutions, destroy cultures and traditions, and ultimately eliminate white populations. The theory has also found its way into, for example, the rhetoric of the Republican Party in the US.
The Finnish name for the theory is 'väestönvaihto,' which translates directly into population replacement.
Tavio has spoken about “population replacement,” a “population change process,” “foreignisation of the population” and “artificial” population growth through immigration, listed Helsingin Sanomat.
In 2021, he linked the conspiracy theory to the government’s policy toward the EU: “The Finnish population won’t get back its own free land because it has been handed over as a playground for the EU. We’re being depleted and the basis of our population is being changed supposedly in the name of wonderful multiculturalism.”
“The socialist government is advocating its own agendas with no regard for the means and won’t stop until our country has been depleted in the name of climate change and our population has been replaced in line with multicultural ideals,” he stated later during the same session.
Tavio viewed a year earlier that immigration is on track to result in a demographic change that can be likened to population replacement.
“Population growth rests on immigration and the birth rate among immigrants. If this continues, the outcome is a change in demographics. You could also talk about the so-called population replacement,” he remarked according to the newspaper.
Minister of the Interior Mari Rantanen (PS) in February used a hashtag related to the replacement theory when sharing a tweet concerning demographic changes in Espoo, Southern Finland, according to YLE.
Two years earlier she appeared to nod at the theory when commenting on a newspaper article about population growth in Africa: “At this rate, Europe will become part of Africa unless the tone and politics change. But some may genuinely want that.”
YLE also reported that her website was recently updated to remove a sentence that played on the Finnish word ‘sinisilmäinen,’ which translates literally to blue-eyed and figuratively to gullible and naive.
“We mustn’t be so blue-eyed that soon we won’t be blue-eyed,” the removed part read according to the public broadcaster.
Minister of Justice Leena Meri (PS) in February stated on YLE A-studio that the National Coalition’s readiness to double the number of work permits granted to non-EU citizens indicates a readiness to replace the population.
Minister of Finance Riikka Purra (PS) argued on Facebook in 2019 that talk about population replacement is not an exaggeration, pointing to a projection about the share of native-born population in Finland, Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
“I haven’t acquainted myself with conspiracy theories of the far right that deal with population replacement, and I’m not planning on doing so,” she wrote. “When I talk about an increase in the number of immigrants and foreigners, about population change, turnover, replacement, variation and the kind, I’m referring to a fact depicted in this graph, for example.”
Purra was at the time the first deputy chairperson of the Finns Party.
Meri, Purra and Rantanen on Sunday all tweeted that they do not believe in conspiracy theories. “I’ll state this to be clear: I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. I also don’t believe in the replacement theory,” wrote Rantanen.
Her response seemed to leave it open to interpretation whether she believes the replacement theory to be a conspiracy theory.
Niko Pyrhönen, a researcher who has specialised in populism and conspiracy theories at the University of Helsinki, on Sunday told YLE that Rantanen has probably employed the term deliberately.
“She chooses and specifically employs the term ‘väestönvaihto,’ which is one of the few that are linked to conspiracy theories and serve as a dog whistle,” he stated.
The Finnish Security Intelligence Service (Supo) has noted that the great replacement is associated with ethnic nationalism, an ideology rooted in the notion of preserving the ethnic uniformity of society. Supo highlighted in its yearbook for 2020 that the theory has been one of the most noteworthy ideological drivers of far-right terrorists.
“This conspiracy theory framework rests on the idea that immigration and multiculturalism pose a fundamental threat to the western white population,” it wrote.
In Finland, theory is quickly becoming *fact*.
I’m looking for new ones, because all of the theories I have known have become facts. 😋
Frustrating to witness.
“We’re going to replace you and if you object it’s because you are white, racist and far right wing. In other words, shut up!”
Time to go all sisu on these “replacements”.
A more accurate name would be, “white suicide theory”... And it ain’t a theory.
Something comparable to Brain parasite makes rodents unafraid of cats, other predators
If you notice you’re being replaced it’s a white far-right conspiracy theory! Then they turn around and brag about how brown the country is becoming! “We’re not replacing you, and it’s good that we are.”
Celebration Parallax.

Imagine if people actually snapped out of their stupor and swooped in on the traitors with trials and execution for treason. As the traitors wail and screech for mercy before their executions they get to be told”mercy for what? You’re not really being executed, but it’s good that you are.”
The Celebration Parallax works for them, but not for us.
If the diversity % starts to fall, it will be the worst crime since WW2.
Whites have a different disease - they have talked themselves into such an orgy of guilt over their imagined past sins that they have turned into pathetic, self-loathing human being ready to extinct themselves in order to atone for their concocted guilt.
Not natural. Still something akin to a takeover parasite.
And the lack of fear remains the largest component. Seeing whites deluged in oceans of invaders without exhibiting the slightest trace of awkwardness or recognition something is wrong demonstrates that.
