Back during 9/11 I had a similar incident in texas but it was over a canada sticker.

I still have no idea why.

Also I haven't payed attention but someone mentioned a rumor of trump wanting to put tarrifs on importated car parts.

I was complaining in here a few weeks ago about the DSA in my state being kind of lovely. Yeah and now gotta deal with this poo poo too. Staying independent I guess. Sadly the republican candidates here run with / talk like they are running for seats in Oklahoma, not New England, so I can't really take them seriously either. If my job situation wasn't 'finally got the exact job I wanted' I'd probably be talking with the wife about running for office. She just got a job here too so neither of us are doing it yet, but honestly it might be in the cards at some point.

The whole intent behind this is to break up the ghettos and remove the “separate but equal” plurality that exists in Denmark. Not increase the divide between immigrant/refugee and Native Dane.

While that will draw more comparisons to Canadian Indian Schools, those schools were designed to strip children of their identities and religion, change their names, place them in foster families, and depopulate native lands and reservations.

To say that is equal to educating a diaspora on the culture and language of their new land to increase cohesion is a bit heavy handed.

Maybe it really is a sinister plot, and then I was hella wrong.

There are much easier ways to break up ghettos that don't involve harsher punishment for crimes based on your area code, mandatory classes on how to be danish and electronic tracking to make sure 'ghetto' kids don't go out after 8pm(though admittedly the last one won't be implemented). You can force relocations per example. This is straight up class discrimination and likely racism, and I'm curious if the Danish courts will let it stand.

As always, DSA chapters are at the local scale and even one voice can have a noticeable effect. You personally can make them less lovely. Why not join and at the very least post on their equivalent of a mailing list. You might not do much but posting from home is pretty easy effort to make a little improvement.

This is all good and right advice. I tried doing this with a few groups locally before the trump time and sadly when you start working with them to explain the process we have in place, a lot of people see the extra work and bail.

But thankfully there is this big fearful thing that exists now that will make them want to do that extra work.

What's important right now is for every Dem strategist, congress critter, and political hack to go out a few months before a pivotal election and tamp down their enthusiastic base. It would be truly awful to have people elected who want to change a status quo that's clearly working for everyone. *A sea of politicos in DC nod enthusiastically*

Yeah, the Danish have been turning hard right for years now. Its a good example of things being about as hosed in Europe as they are in the US. Though with the retirement of Kennedy from the SC, that might not be true anymore. Dude was a hardcore republican in most ways, but a reliable vote for civil rights through most of his career. That's gonna change now, with whoever Trump is going to put up for the seat.

Honestly I think Trey Gowdy might be an ok supreme court pick and certainly the least awful name I've heard floated so far. He's legitimately sharp as hell, can tell when he sucks at a job and needs to step out, and called the Nunes memo out as the wet fart it was.

Also five-time Forensic Files guest star so he's got the reality tv connection working for him.

Their native culture will be "wiped out" through normal assimilation, it's what happens when you move to another country.

If you live in a place long enough you absorb the culture/language/what ever and that's cool, but creating laws trying to enforce some kind of homogenous ethnostate is kinda hosed.
