Fathi’s political statement

Fathi submits a small pile of wood shavings. When pressed by Jaakko, Fathi explains that the wood shavings specifically remind him of the politician Teuvo Hakkarainen (a sawmill owner, and member of far-right The Finns party). He notes that the existence of people like Teuvo Hakkarainen brings Fathi some sort of peace because they existed in a time “when right-wingers were stupid and always openly said what they hated”, rather than sneakily crafting laws subtextually designed to favour certain religions or ethnicities. Jaakko acknowledges Fathi’s clever point, and awards him first place, but only four points.
