Fellow fascist defends her actions and calls the entire debate out of proportions, news at 11.

I wouldn't expect any less from one of the most vile people in modern Danish politics (of which there are seemingly limitless). When has a seat of immigration ever had someone who wanted to help immigrants, not paving the way for internment camps?

It's good to see Enhedslisten keeping at it, but it's a drat shame they've proven time and time again that they have no desire to be a governing party.

Also the fact, that a vote for Enhedslisten is a vote for Socialdemokratiet doesn't help things.

As a Canadian recently moved to Denmark, the above checks out 110%. The level of casual dislike for Swedes here is actually shocking. Not joking.

It's a cultural thing, obviously, but don't see it as everyone here wanting to string up Swedes if they could! The three of us are properly the most "brotherly" countries you can find, in the sense of the word.

We've just been through too many wars together not to have these small jabs ingrained in our collective minds.

And 90% of the time when something horribly racist does happen here, it's caused by Inger St�jberg. It's not our fault she skipped out on DF because she's a power-hungry lunatic wanting to be in the ruling party.

Yet it was S�po who spent a year figuring out, that it may have been a single shooter that was trying to assassinate random immigrants in Malm� in 2009.

But I suppose the fact that they did catch him in the end makes them superior.

As a progressive leftist, Denmark offers me fascists and, frankly, fascist enablers in Venstre and SD. As a Canadian, this has been a shock. Living in København I have actual leftists to vote for but they are not forming a government any time soon. SD is a huuuuge letdown federally.

Oh, but you can vote for SF or �, don't worry!

Except that a vote for SF is a vote for SD by another name, and � are like DF, in that they'll do everything to stay out of a position of power. So three parties, with your vote being funneled to the one on the top. Which consists of selfish ghouls and enablers of fascism. And these are supposed to be the good guys.

I saw a bus rear end the other day that had Mette Frederiksens mug and the message "Let's stop talking about immigration. We're all in agreement on that front," and some call to talk about the climate and welfare and all that junk.

I think it's time to start protesting.

If you ever have the pleasure of riding the bus, you'll be blasted through the video screens with 1 minute SD propaganda every ten minutes. Didn't even think that was legal.

I'd say if you vote for �, pick a candidate that isn't near the top of the list, but IIRC personal votes don't matter with that particular party unless they've changed it.

My cousin from � is voteable on a municipal level, but yeah, a vote for him goes straight into the pool. They're still the leagues ahead of anyone else socially, shame they rarely have the will or momentum to do anything with it.

That, and they're aligned with greedy murderers in SD and friends.

Outsider here, why is so much of european politics so heavily focused on migrants right now? What percentage of the population do they form in scandinavia, and isn't the constant focus on them drowning out discussion on economic issues?

Populists are desperate for anything to rally the docile masses against, and immigrants are what they always fall back on.

Because their kid goes to a private schools? There's like thousands of people who do that. That kid will never have a normal life any way no matter which school she goes to, in my mind that's (the fact that their children practically get to live in a kind of gilded cage and get to be celebrities no matter how they might feel about or cope with that fact) a far more compelling argument against the monarchy than just being angry that some of their kids are sent to rich peoples' private schools.

The loophole thing in the article sounds far more disturbing.

Evil in what way? Do you think that people that gender discriminate based on a nutjob religion are the kind of citizens Denmark needs? Hopefully we will get some similar laws in Sweden soon as well instead of paying damages to idiots who refuse to shake hands.

Evil in that it's a floodgate opening for all kinds of restrictions, based on what can be perceived as harmless oddities.

I've become completely disillusioned with Danish politics ever since SD won in 2011. They took every despicable action the previous government did, and bloody double downed on them.

It's hard to prove you're a good person politically, when every single party is either blatantly corrupt, evil or moronic.

Is it about refusing to shake hands in general, or is it that you can't shake everyone's hands just fine but then refuse when it comes to a specific minority? Because the first is whatever, but the latter is kinda lovely.

It's a way to deny minorities jobs and such, by saying they're refusing to integrate or cooperate by not shaking hands.

It's a minor gesture they're turning into a weapon, that's all it is.

Danish government is planning to up humanitarian aid to largest amount in the country's history, 2.6 billion. There is some weasel speak in this, as some of the increase is simply due to the DK economy being strong. However, some of it is redistribution of funds that would have been used on immigrants in previous years, but since this number has dropped low due to restrictions, can be used on foreign aid instead.

If playing SuperPower 2 has taught me anything, it's that humanitarian aid is the cheapest way to make other nations like you the most, so you'd be an idiot to ever slam that slider anywhere but 100%.

THEN you buy all the cheap, North Korean and Gaza tanks from the open market and take over the world.

And how much of is actual humanitarian aid? Probably only a fraction. About a third of it never leaves Denmark, IIRC, and they illegally used it to cover costs of asylum rejections. Also worth noting that foreign aid was at its lowest in 30 years in 2017.

Edit: Watch S complain the funds don't go to Danes.

Should've bought more open market tanks, everything else is a beginner's trap.
