A crucial part of being Scandinavian is trusting that authority figures are probably right about these sorts of things*. I personally would trust that he had thought of the problem and fixed it. *Only applies to stem bullshit, not important stuff like redistribution of wealth or vaccines.

Inheritance is such bullshit and antithetical to liberal "my own two hands" ideology. But I doubt it has as much impact as property taxes, especially landlord related, and the complete lack of tax on finance/stock bullshit.

Falukorv posted:Reminiscient of the Harpoon missile misfire in the 80s, also from the Danish navy. Accidentally launched a live missile on exercise that travelled some 30 kilometers and struck land. IIRC destroyed some summer cottages but luckily no one was home My boss apparently did the calculation on one of those incidents in the 90s, although it was a shell. Turns out the WWII era gunpowder was not kept dry (or replaced). The whole current thing stinks of management failure, where everything goes from the top down, but no information or notifications are allowed to go from people on the ground to top brass, because that would make the top brass look bad. Turns out that maybe listening to the guys who said the ship wasn't ready would have been a good idea. And this is not a defence issue, it's a general thing.

Who was in charge of starting the revolution when the signal came this morning? https://twitter.com/informeren/status/1780164713529118764?t=ZtCsgUEVKu6xmIMLuO-4ng&s=19

SplitSoul posted:Dragsted wants EL in government. Seems like a recipe for success. Now, let me just take a big sip of water and see how that all went for SF... It's not like the current situation is better, effectively just a neolib centrist government with no opposition that really matters.

SplitSoul posted:Do you think they'd get more or less influence than when they sold out last time to back Mette Frederiksen? Last election, they even refused to consider asylum camps in Rwanda a dealbreaker and they were still sent packing, sans a quarter of their popular support. They're not getting any influence any way because their only options are to support socialdemokratiet or get shut out. They are trying to do some realpolitik to get invited to negotiations so they at least get to try to pull a bit, but obviously that's going to be less ideologically pure. In the Rwanda camp example, there was no way EL could stop that project by themselves, but by not being completely opposed they could hope to at least get some oversight or something. I do agree that they should go all in on Palestine, especially since it seems like there's a lot more public support than their traditional voter base, but I kinda get not wanting to be labelled antisemitic and just shut out of everything like that happened to Jeremy Corbyn. Basically, I don't think getting socialist thought made into policy is possible in the current political landscape, no matter if the left party goes hard or soft.

Zulily Zoetrope posted:It's not like there's a shortage of left-presenting parties that will abandon any and all principles for a shot at influence. Hopeless idealists (which apparently now includes anyone who thinks genocide ought to be opposed) may not be a winning demographic, but it's got to be a bigger catch than trying to siphon your neighbor's base. Are we counting socialdemokratiet here? Because it's them, SF and EL, the rest are extremely marginal. One good thing about EL is that they rotate out their people so they don't get too Christiansborgbrained. I don't know when Dragsted is out, but I'm betting his replacement will have a "less nuanced" stand on Palestine, by which I mean a firm anti Israel stance. For the record, I agree that they should go all in on calling out the genocide, but I get why they don't. Especially because it would be cool to have been unambiguously on the right side before it hopefully becomes the mainstream opinion.
