It seems some of these people have made their intentions public. They are guests here, expats. Often working for a tech company or married to an Estonian. Despite this, they are still in favor of giving Estonia to Russia.
I’m active on many Facebook expat groups and you’d be surprised how openly some of these Americans, British, Chinese, Indian that fully support the idea that Eastern Europe should be forcibly integrated into Russia. They are a small minority, but they’re very vocal. One well known example is the Chinese opera Singer who publicly stated that he thought Estonia should be forced back into Russia: [https://youtu.be/Q4xgE0TLBGM](https://youtu.be/Q4xgE0TLBGM)
I realize that freedom of speech is important here, but if these people actively want to support the destruction of this country, surely there must be something the Estonian authorities can do? I mean, why should they be granted visas if they don’t appreciate the country that is hosting them?

You can report them to companies they work for. The guy driving for Bolt around Tln with the letter z on his car window ain’t workin for Bolt anymore.
The funniest thing is that when the missiles start flying they dont separate who is estonian and who is the one who wanted foreign invasion. These people are loonies.

If they break a law (war propaganda is a crime in Estonia, inciting hate is a crime if consequences are likely), they can be charged.
I am an Expat and I find this disgusting. However, most of the times these people have no idea of what they are saying since they come from reality that are totally different from ours here.
I have recently been attacked by Estonians on Real Estate groups. Lately it happened because I reacted with “grr” to an hostile comment where a refugee was looking for a room/apartment. The guy just DMed me very stupid insults, rigorously in Estonian and without an Avatar.
On Telegram there is a channel where people share pictures of middle eastern/blacks/asians and they insult those individuals for no reason.
Now I don’t wanna go Off Topic, but I don’t understand why targeting expats when the problem in my opinion is also in the autoctone population.
Edit: I wonder what does this Chinese guy think about Taiwan 🤷🏻♂️
Edit2: guys why downvoting? 😅 I am not saying is not true that foreigners are assholes, I am just saying that is wrong to target only them since there are also Estonian assholes (which is even weirder) and cannot be expatriated!
Send them directly to Ukrainian eastern border!
Fortunately we don’t have the American “1st Amendment” type of freedom of speech. That shit is illegal and should be reported.
I don’t know anything about the Estonian legal system, but what are the criteria for deportation here?
Just curious, but where do their ideas stem from? I can guess for the Chinese guy, but the Europeans? Are they just afraid that otherwise war will affect their home countries or have they bought into Russian propaganda? I guess their future is not tied to estonia, since the economy always goes to shit wherever Russia governs, so purely for selfish reasons they should prefer an independent Estonia if they wanted to live here, not even taking into account the atrocities of war.
Its theyr oppinion and its theyr right to expression. Aslong as they aint attacking or harassing anyone, its fine.
Whoa whoa whoa dude. I’m in the same Facebook groups and there has been only one dude. The Chinese singer.
You cannot combine the whinny rants of foreigners complaining about daily life in Estonia with that c*nt. He should be kicked out of the country in my opinion. But he is the only ex pat saying such things I have ever seen in the 20+ years I have lived here.
If their calls are clearly against the Estonian constitution, they should be stopped.
We have gone through this already in 2007. Report the loonies, there are some but which country does not. Most people want to just live well and know how bad life is in Russia. Babuskhas have now activated with cross border purchases since their pension makes them wealthy in Russian terms.
I’m in those expat groups and I’ve never read anyone saying this shit…except that one Chinese guy everyone is aware of.
If they are doing this kind of war propaganda you should report them to KaPo. Getting on watchlist is probably pretty easy like this.
Chinese singer is unemployed and an obvious China plant. Otherwise he would have no business eee being the pariah he is.
The other whiner expats just usually don’t grasp that Estonia isn’t a luxury hotel and is still a small developing country, or, in this case they don’t support an annexation to Russia, they just say that NATO and the US have been too cocky. I don’t agree with it but some do.
