My point is that all fucking Nazis should be banned from politics and reformed in jail, and not exclusively pro-Russian ones

Yes, as soon as it can be proven that they've done something illegal. What DO you know about the Estonian nazis? Kaalep has for sure said some nasty things, but tbh he was WASTED that time I met him (not willingly! I didn't know that girl from my course in uni was a fucking Sinine Äratus member trying to get into real politics and that the friend she wanted to meet up with would be a fucking nazi lmao) and there was nobody around to record anything. In public he HINTS at being a nazi, but never have I heard him say he wants to exterminate Jews in public. He also got expelled from EKRE. Not sure if it was for being too nazi, or not nazi enough. Madison is the second worst IMO and he actually left EKRE because "it had changed too much for his liking". Again, not sure if too nazi or not nazi enough for him. But he has a master's degree in law so I'm pretty sure he knows EXACTLY how to toe the line between legal and illegal speech.

Both EKRE and the brand new ERK are full of assholes, but clearly there were disagreements on how nazi they should be. Reportedly those with the biggest nazi-boner were the Helme family (ironically, they're also the ones most commonly associated with pro-Kremlin views - Putin LOVES propping up nazis around the world). With this rift, I don't think either party will do too well in the upcoming election in 2027.

There's an unfortunate reason that we can't make any single political leaning illegal: If we do, we lose freedom of speech. The nazis are already complaining that they're being censored. Right now everyone's laughing at them. You start putting them in jail for their opinions rather than their actions, and suddenly they're no longer the butt of a joke, they're martyrs.

Aren’t you afraid of Nazis in your government?

I'm afraid of what our society has become that people vote for them more than anything.

I'll be honest with you. I'll be fine under the Estonian nazi rule. I'm straight and white. Some of my friends are not straight, or not Estonian. If EKRE ever gets a big enough majority to influence things, our only saving grace is that it takes time to enact new laws and these friends can escape in that time. At the same time, the nazis, unlike the liberals, aren't calling for privatized healthcare and education. They're running on pure xenophobia, not with the addition of unfettered capitalism like in the US.

Still, I'd get the fuck out of the country too if that happens. Not because I refuse to fight nazis, but because if this happens it means that enough people WANTED it to happen, so it's obvious that I no longer have anything in common with the majority of my own country.

But mostly it's all saber rattling from them. They had 19 seats and they were in the coalition, and they did jack shit. They're really just a populist party and when Putin was arranging the refugee crisis to push for increased xenophobia in Europe, they got popular by saying shit a lot of people were thinking. Then it turned out that the massive amount of 10 or 11 or whatever refugees we took in didn't affect anything, and they just looked like idiots to most of the country. The only reason they got 17 votes in the election after that is that the other parties fumbled it even harder, to the point we're back to voting for fucking neoliberals primarily.

In 2027 I will probably vote for SDE despite my disdain for Läänemets. I imagine most people I know will vote for Isamaa or something similar, purely because they don't really promise to rock any boats. Some people vote for EKRE because they're populist, but not too many. Luckily we have very good education and that sorta slows down the nazi popularity. But if EKRE gets a significant bump in their seat count, I WILL be making an exit plan, probably for a mediterranean climate.
