What does a Swarth look like, and how can that possibly describe anyone with as broadly a brush as that term is used?

But there are so many lovely shades that people can have, and brown describes only a small subset. Seems very limiting, if you ask me.

Swarthy refers to anyone who's not white enough for your personal standards. Ben Franklin famously complained that Swedes and the Dutch were too swarthy and that only Anglos and Saxons could be considered truly white.

Why yes, in the immediate aftermath of WW1 the social democrats enabled the emergence of a hard-right wing germany through the murder of Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht

Wait? You mean they did not mean to use the imperial flag?

Were the Jutes not good enough for Ben Franklin?
Like anyone who can trace their ancestry back to the 1600s in Denmark, I think I can claim ancestry going back to the Vikings - which basically means I get to feel slightly smug about having one of the first empires, and slightly ashamed that the Vikings had slaves (it only helps very little that we didn't need a civil war to free the slaves).

What is S doing with this new defense plan? Like, everyone seems to agree on what to do, at least on paper, but without funding it's of course completely meaningless. Do they actually mean what they say when they claim they're totally going to work out funding in the fall budget, or is this some galaxy brain scheme to blame the bourgeoisie bloc somehow?

Honestly, at this point I don't actually think SD gain anything by these ads. The shock value is starting to wear thin and given their polls, a better option would be to aim to be the adult party.
But then again, SD, so lol no.

Probably the usual thing that have been going on for the last 20 years, where defence spending is always down prioritised to everything else in the budget.
Especially in the current political situation where S, MP, C and L (V?) all want to cram as much of their individual stuff into the budget as possible.
We have also ended up in the funny situation where the current defence plan is supported by a majority consisting of S, SD, V and MP.

Also, a question for the Danes, apparently DFP is polling at 13% and will make a catastrophic election if this stands?

If the polling holds, they are going to lose about 1/2 their members of parliament. I think they are primarily losing voters to rasismus and NB. And rasismus is going to get the sd treatment, so the influence of the far right in Denmark is going to fall.

On the other hand it looks like it’s going to be social democratic government, so, uhm, rather you could say that the extreme right wing won so thoroughly, they made themselves sorta superfluous this election - I wish I was being glib. Don’t worry though, they’ll return next time to drag the danish full fash with another imaginary immigration problem, I’m sure. Maybe it’ll finally be the “they are outbreeding us” which takes the general populace by storm.

E: I just meant it's only been the most ignorant 10-20% of population who believed that idiocy so far, unlike things like 'they are lazy', 'they are criminal', 'they are an enormous strain on the welfare state', narratives which the majority of the population has bought hook line and sinker.

Ebba really isn't sharp. She is a more refined Skyttedal. Her Alliance buddies in Uppsala got really happy when she got elected as KD party leader so they wouldn't have to deal with her in kommunfullmäktige anymore.

That's not a testament to her not being sharp though, just that they had trouble dealing with her, which is more a testament to their own lack of competence rather than her incompetence.

No, I mean that they hated working with her because she worked entirely on dogma and had no clue about many of the fields she tried to interfere in. She also routinely hired and promoted people from her party based on loyalty rather than knowledge.

Here's a cop giving Paludan a helping hand burning a Qu'ran:

https://twitter.com/AlexDenStoerste/status/1127958333124685825

The BLM leader he has been harassing (with police protection) was denied a restraining order. Note that he had previously received a restraining order of the maximum five years for harassing a dude and his family ceaselessly for three years, and subsequently been charged with violating it several times (charges were dropped as part of a settlement). He has been fined repeatedly for insulting judges and prosecutors. This man is still allowed to practice law.

I've usually held the same stance. I've voted to try to restrict the damage because no reasonable political parties have visions anymore. When V stopped trying to restrict the damage then I lost my only motivation to continue the farce.
