(The initial headline I was working with was “… doesn’t understand it.” But, upon reflection, I changed it because, in fact, the liberal ruling class and media does understand it at the elite level; they just don’t care because they pursue their own interests not aligned with the populations’ whom they govern. Hence the new title: “… doesn’t care to understand it.”)
The Majority Report — which bills itself as an ultra-progressive dissident media outlet but in fact merely repackages MSNBC-style Democrat Party talking points for a millennial/zoomer audience — recently brought on a PhD candidate from the University of Toronto to handwring about the threat of something called the “far right.”
The current consternation on the Social Justice™ left over Finland’s internal politics is largely due to the incoming “far right” coalitional ruling bloc, which has promised to curb immigration.
Via Reuters:
Finland’s incoming coalition government said on Friday it had agreed to cut refugee quotas, raise the bar for work-based immigration and make it more difficult for foreigners to obtain citizenship, key priorities for the nationalist Finns Party.
“In recent years Finland has been the only Nordic country with a more lenient immigration policy. This changes now,” Finns Party leader Rikka Purra told a news conference, calling the new policy a paradigm change.
The Guardian has described the new coalition as the “most rightwing government ever” in Finland.
Maybe if the left is so troubled by the rise of anti-immigrant sentiment among the Finnish population, they should stop cheerleading the import of hordes of Third World migrants. That would seem to be the “root cause” that the Karamel-uh entity is always on about.

The idea that the Finnish population, which is adjacent geographically and culturally to Scandinavia, would spontaneously become Nazified overnight as the Guardian was to believe, apropos of nothing in the political and cultural environment, is ridiculous.
What’s to understand? Some Finns simply don’t want to be subjects of the Fourth Reich.
First off, it’s now considered “far right” to curb illegal immigration? I’m pretty sure that’s what makes a country a “country”.
Secondly, far right in Europe is also “big government right”. The media tries to portray us “limited government” types as far right——we’re not, we’re for LIMITED FEDERAL government! They are NOT the same...
The entire "migrant" narrative is withering, as 1) the welfare state teeters on economic collapse for not being able to fund the non-prodcutive, 2) the "union" worker wages are being attacked by low-wage applicants, 3) the devaluation and dilution of local culture by other cultures overwhelming it makes for friction aplenty.
