Not really earthshattering, but the Danish Conservative leader, who might become the next PM because hell timeline, is married to a Dominican man who apparently pulled a Dolezal on everyone about being Jewish. He also lied about being the Dominican president's nephew.

I'm not sure how deep down the organizational pyramid the brainrot goes but i think that that poo poo about the energy war is just the justification they came up with after the fact. the truth of the matter is that we are basically still occupied countries and, much like japan in the 70s got told to torpedo its own economy... or else, we got the same order. we are not, and never were in the position to refuse, we just were lucky it was not required of us until now

there is absolutely a ton of propaganda that obfuscates this material reality for liberals to gobble up, but i would bet that the higher ups know the deal.

i do not think most of the higher ups know the deal. they mostly read the same newspapers and watch the same television as everyone else, and are getting their brains hacked by mobile phone games like everyone else. we tend to imagine this because what they say tends to make so little sense that we think they have to mean something else, but most european politicians up to cabinet or commissioner level are true believers.

there are no adults in charge, even malevolent ones. we're on our own.

My country is falling apart, hundreds of millions of euros go missing due to corruption, the judges are bought by the mafia, everyone will freeze to death when the winter comes. The opposition finally calls for a protest against the Government and a few hundred people gather in the capital today. The issues they protest against: cooperation with the World Health Organization, use of digital payments and gender studies. And a guy gets caught carrying a nail bomb. We truly deserve whatever befalls us next.

I’m looking at the photos from the protest, a group supporting the release from prison of the author of The Croatian Jihad was also there. The dude wrote a book about the need to implement sharia law in Croatia and the loving fascists love him. He’s also quite obviously mentally ill, and should be in treatment, not in prison.

there was a dude who killed his room mates, though apparently out of ideological commitment/revenge, not just because they made fun of him, seeing as he also threatened strangers over the US bombing muslim countries.

$545m price tag lawyers hosed up in the Sanjay Shah case and he can't be extradited from Dubai due to procedural error, failing to deliver investigation reports rather than just summaries of them. The guy defrauded the Danish state for least $1.2bn in a reimbursement scheme. Give it up for literally the most expensive lawyers on the planet, everyone! :lmao:

Pretty sure the Nordic nazis are fairly committed to Ukraine at the moment like literally everyone else is. The Danish People's Party even excluded the daughter of their chief ideologue for saying to at least hear him out, he's got nukes. She'd been saying for years to ally with Putin against the Muslims, though, presumably she liked what she saw in Chechnya, but that didn't warrant exclusion apparently.

I'm just extrapolating from the Finnish Nazi Party* (which may be wrong to do as Sweden isn't Finland, but I'm gonna do it anyway!). About 100% percent of Finns who anyone knows (i.e. not just some rando) who have spread Russian propaganda and misinformation on Twitter and Facebook have been members of the Nazi Party or former members of the Nazi Party, or are married to a prominent Nazi Party member.
