I like communism. It's definitely one potential step in the right direction. I don't have trust in sectarian ideologies pretending to be communism with a history of purging communists. Every online community is infiltrated by bad actors but on some of the instances it seems to be admin-supported.
I don't avoid those instances but I've noticed the modlog problems they create.

Edited a shorter ChatGPT summary due comment: > Finns Party MP Timo Vornanen's arrest following a nightclub altercation in Helsinki has sparked significant attention. Allegedly, Vornanen discharged a firearm into the ground after a confrontation outside the Ihku nightclub. The fact that Vornanen, a first-term MP, previously served as a police officer for over two decades adds a layer of complexity and concern to the situation. The decision by the Finns Party's chair to cancel scheduled appearances in response to the incident underscores its seriousness. > President Alexander Stubb's comments expressing trust in the Finnish justice system reflect the broader public sentiment regarding the need for a thorough investigation into the matter. Despite the lack of injuries, authorities are treating the incident as an attempted aggravated assault and firearms offense, highlighting the potential severity of Vornanen's actions. > The decision not to immediately detain Vornanen suggests that authorities are conducting a comprehensive inquiry before taking further action. As investigations continue, questions linger regarding Vornanen's motivations and the potential ramifications of his alleged behavior.

Going more public with their support of other right wingers LLM summary: > China is extending support to Hungary in public security matters, emphasizing a deepening of law enforcement and security ties as the two countries mark their 75th year of diplomatic relations. This move goes beyond trade and investment relations and comes amid Hungary's efforts to reduce dependence on Western countries. The security pact is seen as a diplomatic victory for China in the European Union, potentially straining the bloc's unity on issues such as human rights and trade imbalances with China. Hungary's alignment with Beijing has already caused divisions within the EU, with Hungary opposing EU positions critical of China and welcoming Chinese investments. Additionally, Hungary's ties with Huawei raise concerns despite warnings about the telecom giant's potential security risks in the EU.

The police broke an antifascist counter protest on Finland's independence day with force to clear a route for fascist marchers. ChatGPT summary: Protesters at the 'Helsinki without Nazis' demonstration on Independence Day accused the police of using excessive force. Kristian Wallgren described the police actions as "unnecessarily harsh," detailing how riot gear-clad officers surrounded demonstrators in Töölöntori Square, with mounted police dispersing the crowd. Wallgren found the situation frightening, citing rough encounters with obstacles like bike racks and being pushed against a tree. Despite the chaos, he believed a less forceful approach could have achieved the same dispersal outcome. The police had banned the demonstration from Töölöntori due to a conflicting event organized by the nationalist 612 group. Officers detained 54 demonstrators who resisted orders to leave. Videos shared on social media platforms depicted clashes between mounted police and protesters. Kimmo Godtfredsen, attending with his child, described the police's aggressive and deliberate behavior, noting the concerning presence of mounted officers. Helsinki Police Chief Inspector Patrik Karlsson acknowledged the social media discussion but emphasized the challenge of commenting on individual experiences. By Thursday morning, the majority of detained protesters had been released, facing fines for disobedience towards police officers.

ChatGPT summary: Russia reportedly planned disruptive campaigns to hinder Finland and Sweden's NATO membership, as revealed in a leaked intelligence report obtained by Yle MOT. The document outlined a strategy involving organizing demonstrations under the guise of disruption to heighten tensions, particularly exploiting incidents like the Quran burning in Sweden. The objective was to sow discord and create a rift between Turkey and Europe, slowing down the NATO accession processes of both Nordic countries. The Finnish Security Intelligence Service, Supo, confirmed awareness of these plans in Finland but refrained from providing further details due to operational considerations. While there's no evidence that Russia successfully implemented its disruptive strategies in Finland, Sweden continues to await approval for NATO membership, with the Russian intelligence service allegedly focusing more on campaigns against Sweden to exploit existing tensions. The leaked documents, prepared by a Russian intelligence officer, were obtained by The Dossier Center, an organization dedicated to tracking criminal activities associated with the Kremlin. The identity of the report's author is known to the MOT investigation team but remains undisclosed for security reasons.

Neo-Nazi suspects discussed 'how easy' attacking Sanna Marin would be, court hears Two suspects chatted about how easy it would be to attack a Social Democratic Party event in Lahti which then-PM Sanna Marin was scheduled to attend. Police seized the suspects' ammunition cases, with some of the bullets arranged to resemble swastika patterns. Image: Poliisi Yle News 17:56•Updated 18:00 On Monday, the trial of Finnish men accused of crimes with terrorist intent, who authorities claim were motivated by far-right ideologies, began at Päijät-Häme District Court on Monday. According to the prosecutor, three of the four defendants are facing various charges related to firearms offences and training to commit a terrorist act. The fourth suspect is facing firearms possession charges. Police have said the suspects are neo-Nazis who aimed to use accelerationist tactics to destabilise society, start a race war and advance their far-right goals. Contrary to what authorities initially suggested during a preliminary investigation of the case, the prosecutor said the men did not formally form a group. The central matter of the prosecutor's case surrounds the firearms that the defendants stand accused of manufacturing using 3D printing technology — allegedly part of preparations for a "race war." According to the prosecutor, the 28-year-old defendant attempted to manufacture, acquire and share firearms parts and ammunition for terrorist purposes. The defendant admitted to manufacturing two guns and also admitted guilt of aggravated firearms offences, however the suspect denied the crimes were terrorism-related. Target lists and "banter" Among other evidence, a police preliminary investigation showed that two of the defendants had discussed the possibility of attacking a Social Democratic Party event in the city of Lahti. Two of the defendants, discussing the matter on the messaging platform Telegram, shared information that then-prime minister Sanna Marin (SDP) would be making an appearance at the event. According to information during a police interrogation, one of the defendants specified that an attack meant shooting. One of the defendants, however, suggested that discussion was their "ordinary banter" about how easy it would be to carry out an attack on a Finnish head of state, and that the discussion was merely a matter of them blowing off steam and seeking extreme experiences. On the other hand, the man also said that he could have killed Marin if he wanted to. According to the prosecutor, the 28-year-old suspect gave the 26-year-old defendant access to a weapon for a few days, and the younger suspect used it to shoot at a family's mailbox. The prosecutor said the motive for was the family's race. List of "leftists" One of the defendants noted that the accused did not actually attempt to carry out a single attack that harmed anyone, even given the opportunity. He also said during the preliminary investigation that he stated in a Telegram conversation he was not prepared to carry out racist killings and risk receiving a lifelong jail term. Police have previously said the suspects had planned attacks on railways and other infrastructure, and also discussed plans to attack people. One of the suspects had compiled a list of addresses of members' belonging to the Helsinki-based European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats. The 28-year-old chief suspect had listed the addresses of several groups and individuals named as "leftists". This list included a number of associations, political individuals and other entities, including the Left Alliance party office in Helsinki, the Tampere-based alternative nightclub Vastavirta and the volunteer-run Book Café in Turku
