I kind of do think that racists burning the Koran should fall under hate speech law and be illegal, but we all know what's happening now has nothing to do with protecting marginalized people and is all about the desperate desire to buddy up with Turkey and get into NATO. Cool.

Now the big question is who else is going to be stuck in this amazingly corrupt mess, as it is unlikely that he could have gotten away with all these things without ANYONE in the top tier of the police organization not knowing about it and keeping silent.

Jack Trades posted:And what kinds of other symbols would that be extended to? Yeah I know it's kinda open to interpretation, I know in reality this kind of distinction couldn't be enforced in a good way, I know the law probably has to be pretty black and white. But we do have laws that say hate speech is illegal, and they're already pretty open to interpretation - I just kinda think they should acknowledge when e.g. Paludan is very clearly aiming to hurt and upset Muslim people. The current move to expressly prohibit Koran burnings shows how freely our government will throw out the sanctity of free speech when it suits their purposes, while they'll refer to that same free speech to justify why obvious acts of hate speech must be permitted. I'm just expressing (perhaps poorly) my displeasure at the hypocrisy of it all.

Kamrat posted:Is she saying that Ukraine was part of Russia before the war? Probably not. Also note that both countries were pretty neck and neck until recently on that index, which among other analyses gets its data from asking the business community about its perceptions and for years has listed Denmark as the least corrupt country, so maybe take their evaluations with a grain of salt. Corruption is obviously still a massive problem for both, I just thought the answer was rather funny.

Not to say that Russia is not corrupt or anything but it always irks me when people bring up the Corruption Perception Index as if it was a measurement of the amount of corruption. Sweden has among the countries with lowest CPI, iirc, but out politicians are corrupt as gently caress. It's just that your average Svennebanan is excruciatingly naive.

Denmark remained at the top through both Finance Minister Bjarne Corydon's jump to McKinsey, who had just advised him to sell off the public energy grid to Goldman Sachs, and Ulrik Nødgaard, then Director of the Financial Supervisory Authority, being hired as head of Finance Denmark, the lobby organization for the largest banks, who also ran the Finance Sector's Association for the Support of a Healthy and Competitive Business Community, who had funded all the parties that voted in favor of the bank bailouts.

The CPI is based on asking business organisations, economics consultancies, thinktanks and groups like the World Bank and WEF how corrupt they think a country's public sector is. I've no reason to think that Transparency International are anything but sincere and honest in how they work, but I do suspect that some of those sources are inclined to look upon some types of corruption, or corruption by certain parties, more favourably than others.

There's been a few high-profile cases about corruption in the highest echelons of Danish police in recent years, but it's more "hire my company to deliver a service in exchange for gifts" than "pay off the traffic cop to look the other way" type of corruption, so who's to say if it's bad or not? Political corruption is basically mostly legal.

It was fun when, during my school trip to Belgium back in 2010, my class got to make a visit to a PR-firm because my dad used to work for them. It was pretty funny to see how my classmates completely lost their poo poo when they got explained to them the process of lobbyism and how it forms society. They were flabbergasted and the lady from the firm was like “wellp that’s our job!”

I still get danger close to a anger-induced aneurysm whenever I think of Corydon selling off some of our most vital energy infrastructure to the literal worst people, then getting a crushy job with those worst peoples best friends (also still remember TDC) and the worst people making billions within a year. However it's loving laughable to think that corruption in denmark somehow 'just as bad' or even equivalent to the corruption going on in a lot of the rest of the world. I can understand how someone might think that, if they never lived for any amount of time in such a country, or I guess, spoken with people who have experienced the difference. It's loving insane how immaculate and squeeky clean denmark is in comparison to several places I've lived. Note, I'm not saying denmark doesn't have correuption at all, or that denmark doesn't suffer from having a small, undemocratic, power-elite, in control of large swathes of business and organisations. It's just incredibly priviledged and ignorant to think it's even on the same scale. I guess that 'for mysterious reasons'  the new neofascist hotness is pretending that in politics, the anti-corruption stance is both meaningless, empty suit, symbolism and intrinsically linked with being a secret agent of US imperialism, but gently caress me it's dumb.

"Least corrupt" is a useless phrase anyhow, because it doesn't mean that there isn't corruption. Ask N people what they think corruption is, and you'll get at least N+1 answers.

Childfucker is back in parliament. https://politiken.dk/indland/politik/art9230928/Jeppe-Kofod-bliver-medlem-af-Folketinget Revelation 2-13 posted:I still get danger close to a anger-induced aneurysm whenever I think of Corydon selling off some of our most vital energy infrastructure to the literal worst people, then getting a crushy job with those worst peoples best friends (also still remember TDC) and the worst people making billions within a year. However it's loving laughable to think that corruption in denmark somehow 'just as bad' or even equivalent to the corruption going on in a lot of the rest of the world. I don't think anybody even barely alluded to anything of that sort, though. Firstly I was making fun of the CBS woman responding to a question that wasn't asked—I'd assume "mike" was thinking of the recent case where they found enormous piles of bundled cash in a disgraced Ukrainian minister's home, everyone is probably already aware of how Russia does things at this point—and then I said to take the index with a grain of salt, because it placed Denmark at #1 for many, many years and we've had a bunch of really blatant cases in the last decade, even beyond the technically legal poo poo I already mentioned, which would be deemed conflicts of interest in a functioning democracy. I could add that campaign financing laws are worse here than in the U.S., in that they can barely be said to exist at all, and what little oversight there is can be disregarded by simply anonymizing contributions through shell organizations that, for example, happened to be based out of the same offices and headed by the same people as what was then known as the Finance Council. Notice that the first listed member was also involved in the largest money laundering scandal in history, with extensive ties to Russia incidentally.
