Doesn't Støjberg sagen mean that a minister saying stuff like that is legally speaking a directive that should be followed?

In other news, Shah, the guy who ALLEGEDLY swindled billions from the Danish state is now in Denmark and being tried. And hearing about the case just makes it extremely clear that he's just a (very horrible) guy who got involved in the finance sector's shady parts. What annoys me is that we're treating this like a personal crime, instead of an industrial thing in the finance industry.
Basically, what I'm saying is that finance is a cancer on society and should be abolished, possibly violently.

As an economist I always get a bit pissed off when people lump in finance with economics

Stock markets are fundamentally flawed and a detriment to the economy. Finance is an education where you learn to exploit it for personal gain

Thanks, but while I fully support their right to secession, the Faroes have maintained their "blasphemy law". This new law is not a reimplementation of the former mainland "blasphemy law", which among other things was used to penalize antisemites who claimed the Talmud allowed for the rape of goyim women, however; its purpose is not to prevent "blasphemy", its purpose is to prevent petulant nazis from instigating diplomatic conflicts with foreign powers. It can be likened to the law against flag desecration. It's by no means perfect, but then you'd be hard pressed find such legislation from the current crop of legislators. It has borne some weapons-grade salt, though, which is a bonus.

The real issue is that desecrating religious text is just a tool to step on minorities for some people. What we* actually want is for assholes not to be allowed to harass minorities for racist reasons, but removing a tool in the racist toolkit is a good thing, even if there's technically some legitimate uses for it.

The real, real issue is that it's impossible to overstate the fat cowardice of the pastry eating Dane, and their language is the second dumbest in the world after the Dutch.

It's now more vital than ever for the Schleswig referendum to be amended, so the border may be moved to its proper place some 368 kilometres to the north.

I'm not joking about Slesvig-Holstein. That poo poo is recent enough that it affected families within living memory, and in some ways still does today, even if the post-WW2 setup has ensured a faster normalization of things. I guess it's not that important to the Copenhagener conception of history, but I think we can discount the people who think Denmark and Germany don't share a land border.

Which is why it is illegal, at least in Norway, to harass minorities for racist reasons. But it is also legal to burn an object, as long as they are your objects and you do it in a safe way. I too would like to see people stop burning books but I don't think the state should decide what texts are holy and what people can do with them.

i think there’s a pretty big difference between Øverland’s “kristendommen, den tiende landeplage” and deliberately standing outside of a youth centre where a majority of the children are minorities, just to smirk at a phone camera while you burn the quran and yell something incoherent about “replacement” and “scandinavia will never be a sharia state! go home!”, but what do I know

The thing is, if you persecute Paludan (because he's the main character of blasphemy laws) for racism, you end up with a mess of subjective judgements about what is and isn't racist. And then he gets to go on a whole thing about the woke mob being in charge and so forth. If there's a clear law saying he can't do his signature move, we can hopefully skip some of the birth sides crap.

It's important to keep in mind that the racist Danish government doesn't give a single fraction of a gently caress about harassing religious and ethnic minorities. That's pretty much its entire raison d'être next to funnelling public funds into private coffers. The law, which, again, is not a "blasphemy law", is intended to curtail diplomatic conflicts with foreign governments.

https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/ft/202312L00065

quote:

Den seneste tids koranafbrændinger har betydet, at Danmark i store dele af verden i stigende grad ses som et land, der faciliterer forhånelse og nedgørelse af andre lande og religioner. Handlingerne må antages at have haft som deres primære formål at forhåne og fremprovokere reaktioner.

Det kan have store konsekvenser, der grundlæggende skader Danmark og vores ligesindedes interesser i verden. Som Politiets Efterretningstjeneste (PET) har oplyst, har den seneste tids koranafbrændinger derudover haft betydning for det aktuelle trusselsbillede, og terrortruslen mod Danmark er skærpet inden for det i forvejen høje niveau.

Der skal ikke herske nogen tvivl om, at regeringen (Socialdemokratiet, Venstre og Moderaterne) ser ytringsfriheden som en af grundpillerne i det danske demokrati. Regeringen mener imidlertid ikke, at koranafbrændinger har større værdi som ytring end udtalelser, der f.eks. forhåner eller nedværdiger en gruppe af personer på grund af sin race eller seksuelle orientering, eller lignende udtalelser, som allerede i dag er strafbare.

[...]

Henset til, at den foreslåede bestemmelse navnlig varetager udenrigspolitiske og sikkerhedsmæssige hensyn, bør den efter Justitsministeriets opfattelse placeres i straffelovens 12. kapitel om landsforræderi og andre forbrydelser mod statens selvstændighed og sikkerhed.

[...]

Beskyttelsen af ytringsfriheden efter artikel 10 er ikke absolut. Der kan foretages indgreb i ytringsfriheden, hvis indgrebet er foreskrevet ved lov og er nødvendigt i et demokratisk samfund af hensyn til den nationale sikkerhed, territorial integritet eller offentlig tryghed, for at forebygge uorden eller forbrydelse, for at beskytte sundheden eller sædeligheden, for at beskytte andres gode navn og rygte eller rettigheder, for at forhindre udspredelse af fortrolige oplysninger eller for at sikre domsmagtens autoritet og upartiskhed, jf. artikel 10, stk. 2.
