he’s salivating at the thought of turning his perceived political enemies over to the alphabet boys; not a huge leap to identify him as ‘spiritually american’
The Danes are famous for loving torture, so it is no wonder you find the concept so endearing. I hope you one day get to have the encounter with Danish police the average left-wing activist has.
it may all be a joke to you but in the last couple years i’ve literally had 3 letter agencies kidnapping people off the street outside my apartment. i’ve had comrades doxxed by zionists for attending protests. there’s been law enforcement showing up to intimidate my comrades at their day jobs, asking probing question about our organizing work.
Have those actions you mentioned been directly related to support for Russia?
It might seem like a joke to YOU, but trying to push “neutrality” in this conflict, when Russia is invading a country close by and making incursions into other countries nearby, is an existential threat to my country, its citizens and my family. Nothing exists in a vaccum. You are pro-Russia, not anti-war.
none of those state crackdowns i mentioned have been related to russia, its been for feeding people, opposing genocide, tenant organizing, and being immigrants.
i’ve had comrades getting arrested for this long before trump; granted under trump was the first time i saw someone get dissapeared for almost a year even after their bail was paid.
Danes are the biggest dickriders of the US around. Even after all Trump did they still talk about being the US’ “closest ally.” Denmark is completely bought in on the US propaganda.
They can be. Races are, mainly, a social construct. But me pointing out the popular position amongst the majority of danish political parties is not racism. Some people just like to reach.
I think we mean the same? Race is a social construct, like whiteness. Its not something thats really inherent to anything, so there could be made a construct called “the Danish race.” There isn’t, but in some alternative reality there could be.
Or I might be misunderstanding you
I recommend checking the links. The theory of “race” is a bourgeois idea based on genetics, the theory of nations is a Marxist understanding of historically constituted peoples.
Right, I think we might be misunderstanding each other, because I looked at the links. How does “race being an idea based on genetics” go against “race is a social construct”? Gender is also based, in part, on some biology, but it is still a social construct. Gender, like race (as far as I understand it, and from what I got from the linked texts, though I only skimmed them, so my apologies if I am missing something big) uses genetics as a post-hoc justification for its existence.
Im not saying Danes are a race. Im saying race is a social construct, so there could be made such a construct such as “the danish race”. There isn’t, but there could be. Or otherwise im misunderstanding you
This isn’t quite correct. The Danes are a nation, not a “race.” Social relations are material processes, they don’t disappear just because someone has a different idea. “Race” is a bourgeois theory that states that there are hard lines genetically between peoples, while the Marxist theory of nations understands them as historically constituted communities of people with a common language, culture, and economic life.
Right. I dont really see what the point of contention is. I dont think “dane” is a race (of people teehee). A racial identity or whatever one would call it could be constructed around such a concept. While most Danish politicians are trying to construct something around a national identity that lets them be racist to brown people, there is also a small group trying to do it around some pseudoscientific idea of race - mainly about drinking milk?
So again: Dane is not a race (discounting some great dogs) because races aren’t really real, but because of that, one could construct the idea of a race, if it were something that would be beneficial to ones politics of whatever. And by “one” i actually mean “a bunch”.
No, the fact that that is the general refrain amongst politicians, especially the prime minister - the leader of the country - AND the fact that Denmark continues to cooperate with the US as much as possible, including getting American bases on Denmark proper, is why I consider the country to be completely subsumed by the US.
Sorry you cheap dunk sucked.
You aware he’s likely Danish? US exceptionalism at work even in this argument

Sistah, you accused me of receiving payment from the CIA. I assumed it was a joke and of course I am gonna play in on that joke. C’mon now.
“Hahaha I hope you get tortured to death” Yeah great “joke” my guy
They joked about me being in the CIA. I took part in the joke.
If you can’t take the heat run.
What? I just described your joke back to you. How thin-skinned are you?
The Danes are famous for loving torture, so it is no wonder you find the concept so endearing. I hope you one day get to have the encounter with Danish police the average left-wing activist has.
It was less a joke and more an observation that you are acting more invested in defending us empire than the people actually getting paid to do that.
Being opposed to the Russian invasion of Ukraine is not supporting the Usan empire. I am European. I don’t want to be invaded by Russia.
you seem awfully interested in making lists of antiwar leftists for someone not supporting the usian empire.
your angle isn’t even original. arch-conservative anticommunists have been making lists of my comrades along with our places of employment for years now.

classic doublespeak; war is peace clearly
Ok, I am sorry to hear. I have many issues myself with USA and it is anything but a model for a nation.
You cannot simply allow an aggressive nation to get their wants with consequences. Or ideally, at all.
Danes are the biggest dickriders of the US around. Even after all Trump did they still talk about being the US’ “closest ally.” Denmark is completely bought in on the US propaganda.
So one politicians that says a stupid statement immediately means the entire country it bought by the US?
Wow, racism much.
Do you know what the word race means? Do you think Danes are a race?
They can be. Races are, mainly, a social construct. But me pointing out the popular position amongst the majority of danish political parties is not racism. Some people just like to reach.
Race is a bourgeois theory, I think you’re trying to get at the Marxist conception of the nation.

You’re mistaken. Danes are not a race.
Xenophobia is the term you were after.
