Is the outrage more or less unhinged, than when the tyrannical, mega-racist, swedish state, with its super corrupt justice system, unjustly and unwarranted put asap rocky in jail, after he and his entourage simply and innocently defended themselves, by circle-beating and bottle smashing two afghan immigrant kids?

Theres alot to criticize the jury for, but lets not throw out the baby with the bathwater. That decade with just televotes had alot of bad top 10's. People act like eurovision always was "democratic", when televoting only became a thing from 1998 onwards, it was all jury before then. I could buy the pure democratic argument if it worked closer to a real election, 1 person 1 vote etc. but televoting can be easily couped and manipulated. Not much of an representative democracy when it 1) costs money to vote 2. anyone can vote 20 times. The 2 most popular songs ended up in the top 2, one of them the jury liked less. hard to be up in arms about this Falukorv fucked around with this message at 16:57 on May 16, 2023 |

The foreign ministry also categories the entire country as extremely high risk, encouraging people to seek professional assistance if they decide to go there. Plus they've apparently got curfews, which would put a cramp on most holidays. I would definitely expect most Danish tourists to end up getting jailed and then deported, for failing to adhere to sensible precautions, even if it's easy enough for locals to deal with the issues the country is facing at the moment.

I've always agreed on embalming and hanging him, in that order.

This is what enhedslisten put in the program: "Vores mål er at Danmark skal stå uden for NATO og andre militære stormagtsalliancer. Men det forudsætter en ny sikkerhedsarkitektur på nordisk, europæisk og internationalt plan, samt en styrkelse og demokratisering af FN og fælles sikkerhedspolitiske fora som OSCE. Så længe Danmark er medlem af NATO, arbejder Enhedslisten imod NATOs bidrag til angrebskrige og rustningskapløb. Enhedslisten arbejder for at omdanne det danske forsvar til et nationalt territorialforsvar frem for en interventionsstyrke, der er indrettet til angrebskrige." It replaced something lke 'we are working to get out of nato and to shut down the danish military". Seems like a more nuanced stance to me, considering that the only adversary of consequence is no longer a communist state which, at least in theory (though not practice) used to have similar values to enhedslisten. I'm not an expert on the vagaries of russian aggression though. As per usual, there is a circular firing squad forming in the idiot/stalinist part of the party of course.
