Prime Minister Sanna Marin, when is your next party?

We live in a world of facades, where the image we convey is more important than the reality we experience. Lying is therefore accepted and promulgated as a norm in today's society; a world of hypocrisy where we are conditioned to appreciate what is presented to us by rejecting the facts showing the truth -- the lethal weapon is the mainstream media that decides of our choices, our lifestyle, and our opinions. Then come social networks, where we can apply the brainwashing we have been victims of.

 

So, what did Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin do wrong to make an apology for partying? She answered brilliantly: "I am human."

 

This corresponds to the blow suffered by pastor TD Jakes after his sermon on the stereotype of independent and strong black women erected by American society as a norm.

 

Our leaders lie, steal, lead the world to wars, and cause global warming, but we adore them under the pretext that they are above us, superior beings, while ignoring all their faults. The simple reason is that they hide their deeds. Even when exposed by whistleblowers, we do not care; our leaders can do all sorts of craziness but shouldn't let us know; we like to live a lie (isn't it Photoshop?). Now, we have a woman, Prime Minister, who assumes her endeavors, partying like all of us—a video is broadcast—some are offended! Isn't she human? Are we not partying? Has the Finnish economy and its quality of life suffered a backlash following the Sanna Marin party?

Here in Africa, there are presidents who have been in power for ages; everything is lacking in their country: no development, only corruption; we do not see them partying (perhaps they are ashamed of themselves, which is unlikely); but they are adored, respected, and honored -- men of little integrity and dignity! In the West, their rulers dragged them into a recession with an inflation affecting badly the purchasing power, and none of them apologized, and no one complained about them despite their disastrous record, because no videos have emerged showing how dishonest and failing they are, but the facts are there to prove it—we don't want facts but videos to be outraged (thank you social media).

 

Not wanting to enter into a debate on gender, it is wonderful that there is a woman who shows to the eyes of the world how in our current society, we can occupy high positions of responsibility and have fun like any human being; the criticism must be on the work the people or the company have assigned to us. In addition, if partying in private with loved ones is reprehensible, we should therefore be prohibited from having a moment of joy and sharing it, especially in Finland. 

Compare to those who not only underperform (the facts prove it), who are a nuisance to the world (a statement), who present themselves as saints but lead us into chaos, they don't party! At least no video of former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has emerged. Hillary Clinton called blacks "expendables," but they overwhelmingly voted for her against Donald Trump. We remember the triumphant welcome of French President Emmanuel Macron to Cameroon. The facts demonstrate that the leadership leading us is failing, but we accept the way the media presents them as very good people; alas, the results are there showing the opposite, but we are waiting for a video in order to react. 

 

Please, Prime Minister Sanna Marin, feel free to upload your next party video. You are demonstrating to the world great leadership by teaching us to be human regardless of our social position and wealth. When people realize their leaders are also humans like them, they will eagerly oppose injustice and be more critical towards them.
