Immigration|The basic Finnish think tank reserved the address “vaestonvaihto.fi” for its statistics page and equated Finnish immigration and American colonization there.
Basic Finns the think tank equates the foundation of Finland with the one published on Monday on its statistics website The fate of the native population of Finland and the native inhabitants of America.
The website presents the growth in the number of foreign speakers in Finland and Uusimaa with various statistics.
For example, there is a clock that runs down, which tells you that according to forecasts, one third of the people of Espoo will, at the current pace, speak a foreign language in less than 13 years.
The explanatory text left at the end reads as follows:
“History is full of examples from the times of great national migrations to recent history, where migrations have completely changed the demographics of regions. The fate of Native Americans is a classic example of a continent-wide population shift,” the page says.
The traumatic experiences of Finland’s Baltic neighbors under Soviet rule are also linked to Finland’s immigration statistics.
“The Russification of the Baltics during the Soviet era, as a result of which Estonians and Latvians remained minorities in many areas in their own countries, is also an example of the phenomenon,” the text continues.
Immediately after, a comparison is made with Europe and Finland:
“Emigration from other continents to Europe is now leaving European native populations as minorities in their own countries from region to region – and Finland is no exception,” writes the government’s think tank.
The site got earlier on monday attention, when Yle toldthat in addition to the “vaestokello.fi” address, the “vaestonvaihto.fi” address was also reserved for the site. The statistics and population clocks appeared on the website after the publication of Yle’s news.
Population change is a term associated with a radical conspiracy theory about the conscious change of population. The protection police have paid attention to the word during their investigation motives of far-right terrorism.
Basic Finns management has said that he uses the word to describe the change visible in the population statistics without reference to some secret club behind the wedding row and plans.
Finland executive director of the foundation Simo Grönroos tells Helsingin Sanomat that the purpose of the site is to highlight the speed of changes occurring in the population. According to him, the idea of a population clock became a member of parliament Teemu from Keskisarija (p.s.).
“When there have been these debt clocks, he figured out that a similar clock could be made from population patterns.”
Information is taken from public sources, such as city population projections.
What does the word population change mean to you?
“For me, it means a mathematical fact when the birth rate of the native population is low and there is a lot of immigration.”
With the clocks running down, do you want to say that the development is threatening?
“Necessarily. Such a change can be a really serious threat to the nation, if you think about, for example, Tibet, where the Han Chinese have been settled, or what kind of threat Russification was to Estonians.”
Can the fate of the native inhabitants of America and the Russification of the Baltics really be equated with Finnish immigration, when the first two were about colonialism and the fact that the stronger used power?
“In that sense, it can be equated that the end result will be the same from the point of view of the regular population.”
What do you think of this conspiracy talk?
“I do not mean that it is a conscious conspiracy. Different interest groups and actors push mass immigration from their own perspectives. They hardly think about the end result in the longer term.”
Finland The CEO of the Migration Institute, Doctor of Political Science Saara Pellander’s according to the comparisons made by the foundation of Finland are so strange that it is difficult to comment on them.
He is so confused by the text he read on the Väestökello page that he has to gather himself for a moment to say something about it.
“You don’t move to Finland because Finland would be the target of colonization or other subjugation, like the Baltic countries were during the Soviet era or the representative of indigenous peoples in America. It was a completely different situation. Nobody here is taking Finland away from the Finns,” says Pellander.
Pellander’s according to the situation in Finland is actually the opposite of, for example, the colonization of North America, because those who move here become part of Finnish society.
Immigrants are often in a weaker position than those who have lived in the country longer.
“They move here to study, work or for family reunification. They will build Finnish society and not destroy it.”
Pellander considers the sharp division between foreign speakers and those already here to be bad.
“If we look at this issue far enough, then all of us have changed from something. It is not a meaningful way of looking at it that people who moved from elsewhere are a threat.”
