Yeah, no… voting for the far right is never going to “fix” anything. I understand the frustration with the status quo, but when will people ever learn that the far right will only make things far worse, and kill far more people…

This is a very common phenomenon in Brazil. I don’t know if this happens in other countries, but here the so-called protest vote is often used when voters are very upset with the government. This was one of the factors that led to the election of Mr. Bolsonaro. People were very upset with all that news about corruption, the lack of flexibility on the part of members of the Workers’ Party to deal with political crises (crises created by other players) and the growing influence of foreign think-tanks that little by little shaped the mind of the average voter.
This myopia ends up creating this type of situation.
To make matters worse there is the straw man of communism. Whoever invokes the name of communism uses it in an amorphous way, a communism that is the incarnation of evil, the one that sours milk, knots horses’ manes and hides objects in the house when we need them most.
Mixing facts with more absurd fake news, it scares people and ends any debate. Even though the extreme right and the cynical right have created chaos on our continent, communism is lurking, ready to destroy the family and society along with their henchmen like the gays, the feminists, the environmentalists, the progressive priests and pastors and anyone else they don’t understand.

Russian ammonia
Finland has closed all but one eastern border checkpoint to stop asylum seekers from crossing over from Russia. However at the same time, Turun Sanomat reports that Russian raw materials continue to move through the Turku rail yard.
Every week, 64 freight cars of ammonia pass through the city as chemical company Yara continues to source raw materials from Russia.
The ammonia is destined for Yara’s fertilizer factory in Uusikaupunki.
“At the moment 10 percent of the ammonia at Uusikaupunki’s factory is sourced from Russia. Rail transport has not closed on the Russian border,” said Teija Kankaanpää, Yara’s plant manager in Uusikapunki.
