If there is a reminder on how bad Finland’s racism problem has got, take a look at the rise of the Perussuomalaiset (PS)* party since the 2011 parliamentary election and specifically its main motor, Jussi Halla-aho. Having him treated as “a normal” politician by the media and other politicians makes him look like a wretched politician in an intensive care ward.
His political life-saving support comes from his blog, Scripta, written in the 2000.
For many Finns, it is difficult to weigh how demeaning and racist his writings are and how they paint a capricious and greedy man who is a white supremacist desperately seeking recognition and approval. Halla-aho will never apologize for his racist writings because it would cut off his political life support.
Moreover, playing down and moving forward with a poker face concerning the damage he has caused on Finland and especially on minorities, would not be possible if he apologized for his racist writings.
There are many ways to skin the cat of an old racist who hides behind the cloak of democratic institutions. One of these methods is to reverse the roles of his victims in his writing to grasp how toxic the person is.
Example 1:
“I am thoroughly confused as to why muslims have such a great desire to inflict pain on those who are in a weaker position, such as animals, children and women. I think this pattern is pretty clear. Why do muslims jump around ululating with their dicks hard whenever heads get chopped off or someone gets whipped?
- Jussi Halla-aho (2005), published in the blog Scripta Mietteitä kansainvaelluksesta, April 20, 2005
Reversing roles 1:
“I am thoroughly confused as to why muslims white Finns have such a great desire to inflict pain on those who are in a weaker position, such as animals, children and women. I think this pattern is pretty clear. Why do muslims white Finns jump around ululating drunk with their dicks hard limp whenever a Russian’s head gets chopped off or someone gets whipped beaten to a pulp?

Example 2:
“It is hard for me to think about a lower reptile in the universe than a Scandinavian social democrat. The most slimy subscpecies of this reptile is the Swedish social democrat.”
- Jussi Halla-aho (2006), published in the blog Scripta Sosiaalidemokraatin selkäranka, March 23, 2006
Reversing roles 2:
“It is hard for me to think about a lower reptile in the universe than a Scandinavian social democrat a Finnish Perussuomalaiset. The most slimy subscpecies of this reptile is the Swedish social democrat Sweden Democrat.

Example 3:
“All muslims are not terrorist, but in an European perspective this is irrelevant. What is relevant is that all terrorists are Muslim.”
- Jussi Halla-aho (2006), published in the blog Scripta Islamin yleisestä ja erityisestä suvaitsevaisuudesta, September 21, 2006
Reversing roles 3:
“All muslims white Europeans are not terrorist, but in an European perspective this is irrelevant. What is relevant is that all terrorists are Muslim mainly white affiliated to far-right and radical right parties like the Perussuomalaiset.
