Tony Blair Institute
At least clown college contributes to society
Without clown college we’d never have Fellini movies, for better or worse
I think clowning is a noble profession
Someone who dedicates themselves to making other people happy through buffoonery and farce
It’s actually rather sad that people have such a negative view of them really
Same here, I kinda love clowns! People who call it creepy either had a bad experience (fair) or dont like how visually over-the-top it all is. Guess we’re so heavily trope-conditioned and hyperaware of any Deviance From The Norm in fashion, art etc. now (thanks to lib metaculture, ick) that nobody’s used to “”“Weird”“” traditions. I struggle to find a more lively kind of performance art that’s still alive in Western pop culture. Personally think Clowning should be a timeless order, like the Freemasons lmao
If clowns are considered “creepy” in North America, its no wonder us
s have such stupid shit to say about our First Nations - our “culture” can’t even handle dancers in colorful masks! Our entertainment is men in suits with snappy arguments, that we absorb on TV between office shifts! Bullshit!!!I think part of it is an actual inability to distinguish the art from the artist, and equating the skillful performance of apparent incompetence with actual incompetence, which is then reinforced by them being depicted that way by other media.
Also, pantomime is the only comparable performance art I can think of, which is often just clowning: the musical.
Finnished with politics
Remember when r/chapo was horny over her?
this comment could be used in a thread about any vaguely famous woman under the age of 60 lol
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
I once saw a Chapo talk about how Marjorie taylor green was attractive, anything is fking possible with these people
Maybe the CIA was right to close the sub down.
I can fix her
People on hexbear even defended her after she was caught cheating on her partner and partying instead of doing her job lmao
Wait but that sounds based though
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.
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”
But partying and fucking off rules?
Maybe not then cheating part but the other part slaps
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.
if this was what she was doing in her job then yeah, id prefer that
European Succdem moment
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

This is why
exists.dude holy shit the wording of that post still lives rent free in my head
‘say hello to finland’s new left wing social democratic president, sanna marin’
r/chapochapo.chatHexbearRemember 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.
Have you seen most world leaders? Not being a wrinkled lich makes you a UN 8
Politics is show business for ugly people.
I think dudes just get weird when an attractive lady vaguely shares the same politics/taste in video games/favourite brand of toothpaste/etc
No, I do not remember that and I am definitely not horny over her, thanks for asking.
🥵
I still am… kind of.
Same.
There’s no shame in that.
Or maybe there is, who knows.
There’s no shame in that. Or maybe there is
Shame or not, there’s practical consequences - I once was scolded by mods and had posts deleted for being horny for Tulsi.
So the lesson is, don’t be horny for neoliberal girlboss warcrime politicians.
Damn, you’re like a modern-day Nelson Mandela.
lmao the press release even said the quiet part out loud, that this is her reward for bringing Finland into NATO
Ms Marin has a record of accomplishment, from setting one of the world’s most ambitious climate targets – enabled by a full programme of digitalisation and deployment of technology – to shepherding her country’s accession to NATO following Russia’s aggression in Ukraine (the swiftest accession in the alliance’s history).
What do we want? Market-based, means tested solutions!
When do we want it? In a reasonable amount of time!
Can you imagine what kind of vicious freak you have to be to want to be associated with Tony Blair?

On a slightly unrelated note, I think Finland is the only country in the world where Pete Buttigieg would be a leading politician.
Finnish people love an ineffectual lib that is “qualified”. Most of them seem like they were made in a lab. Tarja Halonen is the only finnish politician I’ve seen that isnt dead behind the eyes. I guess it is preferable to the alternative which is the saying the quiet part loud party.
Nah he’d be big in most of Scandinavia
Sweden doesn’t really do the technocrat much, and when we get them they’re usually dunked on. Only buttigieg-y politician in Sweden I can recall being successful is Bildt, but he fucked it up for all technocrats to follow. Kristersson also has a similar vibe, but he is a leading politician because he is being buoyed by the saying the quiet part loud party, not because he is well liked.
Can’t speak much for Norway and Denmark however.
Fair, Denmark is technocrat country though, everything thing is “nuanced” (nuance is when the left wing government does tax cuts and the libertarian does anyi-immigration policy)
Don’t get me wrong, the policies are largely the same, just a difference in affect.
The norwegian-dutch-danish nuance brain axis is real
Absolutely, we love our dweebish politicians.
Don’t trust the liberals, they will betray you. -
I’m this close to fedposting. Fuck, I hate this war criminal piece of shit.
That’s the normal reaction to seeing him. It’s like instinctively stamping on a roach out of pure revulsion
Analog horror videos be like
lmao they got the most soulless looking still of her for this
also fun fact, the party that controlled finland during ww2 is now in charge. thanks social democrats
That’s not really new. They, the social democrats and the former agrarian party basically played musical chairs and formed various coalitions with each other for decades until the True Finns exploded
The True Finns being the mask-off epic online poster fascist party
The True FinnsThe Basic Finns, you mean.
Amazon Basics Finns
Didn’t they change their English name to just “The Finns” some years back
dunno if they have the self-awareness for that
edit: they did, the losers.
I had a silly unexamined belief that she was cool and lefty because she had topless women kissing at her house.
She got Finland into NATO. That’s a guaranteed lucrative job lined up for her.
TBI as an abbreviation for the org is kinda funny though. The jokes practically write themselves.
Oh there is talk about digitalisation and Finland… from someone working with marginalized folks in Finland who have to try and deal with these neoliberal tech solutions of ours I’d have so much to say about this to our Neoliberal Princess, but I am just too tired for that now.
She did throw the entire unemployed, disabled and sick part of this country under the buss with her “It’s time to live” covid is over-announcement. It’s Biden lite.
