  • Edit: is there a reason you’re downvoting every comment I make?

    Yes you are making straw man arguments, and conjecture. Like: " have a feeling you would fit in with conservatives here more than you realize."

    It’s interesting to me that I almost brought up Sweden as a cautionary tale for you to explain how conservatives will leverage immigration

    There is no way you can claim Sweden is a right wing country anywhere near Republicans, and they are left wing even by European standards.

    What I find even more interesting is that you say you have a great democracy with no major issues

    I didn’t say we don’t have issues, what I stated was that we dont have issues that requires demonstrations. Because we are in agreement on trying to solve them.

    Just as an example of a straw man argument you make.




  • Truly a friendly correction: “immigrants.” Emigrants are exiting, immigrants are entering.

    Noted. Here though emigrant covers both.

    But the situations in USA and Denmark are not comparable, Sweden today has record crime rate and gun violence, akin to USA. Something completely unheard of for a Scandinavian country.
    And we have a world leading welfare system. We also receive way more immigrants from Arab countries, a culture which for some reason has a harder time then others adapting to the conditions here.

    We have lots of Jews, with zero problems, we have lots of Vietnamese with zero problems, we have lots of Turks with zero problems (almost). We have lot’s of Polaks with zero problems. Both recent and way back. Also no problems with European immigrants. We also made an exception for Ukraine, and received many Ukrainians with zero problems.
    It was not until we were floded with Arab muslims it became a problem. And as a country we have now decided to limit immigration hard. Their discriminatory behavior towards women, and their demands for special treatment of their backwards ways have caused significant friction.

    I don’t see any reason why any Dane would protest that? It’s not like we are withdrawing previous granted visa, like Trump is doing with Ukrainians now. Trump is insane, and doesn’t give a shit. We are trying to make it work, but because it doesn’t work as well as we want immigration is somewhat on hold.
