From the Finnish comic strip Fingerpori by Pertti Jarla, translated by me. Original:

    Åkesson joined SD when it was openly a Nazi party to “change it from the inside.” Could not be more like the comic. All he got them to do was update the rhetoric. If there was another panel of the comic, all of the same people would be there but they just wouldn’t be wearing the uniforms anymore and he’d be sitting there all smug saying “mission accomplished.”

    Yep, everyone claims to be a “moderate” when it suits them, especially the far right. Like Åkesson they realise the optics are bad and put on a nice suit while supporting the same horrendous shit they always did

      Åkesson was a nazi, distributing nazi propaganda in the streets before be went with SD. Sure he went there being a not-a-nazi…

      Maybe le pen shows the way, try to fake some populistic show until in power?
