Migrants’ Rights Network: In this migration crisis, common humanity isn’t enough. We need to reimagine who ‘we’ are

Reija Härkönen: Rasismi ei ole keskustelua

Miten perussuomalaisuutta kielen keinoilla rakennetaan
Yksi kieli, yksi mieli oli J.V. Snellmanin ajama nationalistinen aate 1800 luvulla, jolloin hän oli vaikuttava fennomaani Suomessa. Hän vaikutti merkittävästi suomen kielen asemaan ja Suomen markan käyttöönottoon. Snellmanin päivänä 12.5 vietetään suomalaisuuden päivää.

Reija Härkönen: Perussuomalaiset r.p. ja etninen puhdistus
Perussuomalaisen kansanedustaja Olli Immosen äärikansallismielinen ulostulo vihollisineen ja kivuliaaseen loppuun saakka taisteluineen käynnisti keskustelun perussuomalaisten yhteyksistä natsijärjestöihin.
