        yea but it was an INFAMOUS thread that got referenced for a long while after. someone made a post basically congratulating her on her win, and there were a TON of people thirsting over her in the comments (as well as infighting)

        i also remember at that time the less lib r/cth2 made a parody post comparing her to sexy lola bunny or something

          Elected officials not performing their due responsibilities as representatives to the people are based now?

          I’ll remind you that the scandal took place during a 40-year high inflation in Finland.

            yes-chad

            It’s not like Finland is socialist. This is a lib politician elected by libs who want her to do lib shit. Disappointing libs and partying instead of enacting lib shit in public office is based

              I get what you’re trying to say, but there are people, working class people, who actually suffered under their policies (literally giving up cheap Russian electricity and nuclear power projects which in turn caused high energy price inflation, which I assure you was mostly shouldered by the poorest in the society, while the upper class parties on. This was what made the scandal so revolting in the first place.)

              This sounds like one of those “red states deserve to be poor and suffer from it because they kept voting for the Republicans”

          context matters. a proletarian fucking off and partying on the boss’s dollar is cool because it goes against the normal oppression happening.

          a bourgeois public official partying and fucking off while being paid public money is business as usual.

      • Even then she was kind of doing her job for the capitalists. The partying was a part of her “it’s time to live” drive to minimize covid after many million euros making artists and other petty bourge had cried in the media for weeks about bringing concerts, gyms, festivals and restaurants back. This is very small country so some of these same people were in said parties.

        The leather jacket was a propaganda look for nato, she was dressing for the part.

        The speed in which she flipped on both covid and nato has been something to behold.

        i remember people going in on her for being a woman and partying, and some sexism on some ‘which way western man’ shit that got push back, if that’s what you mean?

        not to defend a ghoul but i specifically remember that mini struggle session

        Remember people posting a picture of her on here when she wore a leather jacket. Spray bottles were needed.

        I don’t know if it is a lack of going out and touching grass, or if it is just a politician thing. She just looks like a fairly unremarkable 30-something. Same applies to the baffling amount of horny for Trudeau.

      No, I do not remember that and I am definitely not horny over her, thanks for asking.

        Same.

        There’s no shame in that.

        Or maybe there is, who knows.

          Shame or not, there’s practical consequences - I once was scolded by mods and had posts deleted for being horny for Tulsi. zelensky-pain

          So the lesson is, don’t be horny for neoliberal girlboss warcrime politicians.
