The good answer is to make sure everyone has what they need and a good future ahead of them. Very few people do crime, especially violent crime, just because. So upping the social safety net, integration efforts, better education and so on.
And for violence, doing something about the alcohol culture surely can't hurt.

Okay, but have you considered that all of that costs a lot of money to do.
Tax money that's much much better redistributed into the pockets of my bougie friends, so they can finally buy their second summer home in Spain.

Well according to https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/y6Aam2/irena-pozar-hyckleri-nar-manniskor-dor-pa-jobbet , the amount of people killed by gangs is the same as people dying at work. So maybe we should have the police focus on secretly listening in on employers and stop suspected ones from being in public places, without evidence. I fully support a stop and frisk program for suspected company owners.

PET says there's no connection between the Danish arrests and the cases in the Netherlands and Germany. The arraignment is double-plus secret apparently, so we probably won't know more for a long while.

Considering how entrenched organized crime is in construction it would probably be a good idea if it would be focused on construction companies and the cops were accompanied by inspectors from Arbetsmiljöverket.

I assume you're talking about the Norse and thralls? 'cause that was about 800 years prior, and thralls weren't traded in any extent afaik

We did participate thanks to being in a personal union with the Danes, but Norwegian ships and sailors were the exception rather than the rule

Statare was a thing in Sweden long into the 20th century and many of them were de facto serfs, while not chattel slavery we don’t have to look back far for this sort of thing. (Or at all if looking outside of what is legal)

We should though. As long as we claim sovereignty over the territory and people of Greenland, we should treat it as being just as much a part of Denmark as any other territory, rather than accept the notion of it "not really being Danish".

Do you think the average Dane was involved? Norway was just as complicit as Denmark in our colonialism and slavery. Hell, "Danish" slavery in the Caribbean was started by a Norwegian merchant from Bergen, even if it was obviously at the behest of the Danish king. The Kingdom of Denmark-Norway was a partnership between (upper-class) equals, which explains why the Norwegian upper class immediately attempted to rejoin Denmark at the end of the Napoleonic wars.

I tried once to confirm this but didn't find any sources to back this up (I was trying to argue that Norway has just as dark a past under colonialism as other European nations). But I'd be happy if you have any sources that Norway was as bad as Denmark I'd appreciate it

A Buttery Pastry posted:

This is cherry-picking worse than my original joke - the upper class in Norway consisted mostly of Danes. Henrik Wergeland called the period "400 years of Darkness" just 20 years after Norway was ceded to Sweden, so it was far from a popular notion


But, it was intended as a dark joke and not a serious post. I'm not really funny though, so I can understand the confusion

We can discuss Color Climax instead if you like? Or what didn't become illegal before 2015

Yeah I'm not sure any country in Europe comes off well in a game of "crimes of empire", which makes it a silly game to play if you don't have a point to go with it. Maybe there is one country somewhere that somehow missed out on all the plundering, but it's not Norway.
