The Competition Democracy: A Danish Warning Vote and get free candy! It is so much 'hygge'!

VOTE AND GET FREE CANDY. It's election time in Denmark. One of the most well-run democracies in the world. But politicians have never been less trusted. Even though it seems like perfect 'hygge' a collapse might be brewing.

Ja, det absurde er at et flertal af danskere gennem årtier har stemt politikere ind som også var ligeglade med vandforurening.

"The West started the war in Ukraine" - Putin.

The most interesting thing is that people believe this lie, and not only in Russia.

That is why it is so important to counter propaganda and constantly repeat the facts:
The war was started and is being waged by Putin and Russia.

Skal vi lave en tråd over ting vi savner fra pandemien?

- Det var normalt at være alene.
- Der var klare anvisninger på gulve, så folk forstod hvordan de skulle bevæge sig.

Her har vi en vælger, som ikke er ekstrem, og relativt veluddannet (altså ikke Hegels pøbel, er min pointe), og som befinder sig i en observation af at et af de mest troværdige demokratier i vesten er... en utroværdig farve.

Og alligevel fortsætter alle politikere og borgere som vi plejer...

THE SPIRITUAL INDEPENDENT Why Modern Politics Mutilates Its Visionaries

The first female prime minister in Denmark was not really like in the famous Danish Tv-series, "Borgen", when she was in office.

Because she struggled with the inherent systemic response.

When she was out of the office she found her rebel (and also her Beyonce-power).

Forfærdelig historie, som ikke bliver bedre. Den hemmelige opgørelse er REU 1404 (2024/25). #dkpol #femicide #dkjura

Husk at fremme de marginaliserede med ligeså stor kraft som du kritiserer patriarkatet.

Tal de usynlige op med samme kraft som du taler magthaverne ned.

Kampen tages i det daglige. I hjemmet, i mødelokalet, i sportshallen, alle steder. Særligt i dag.

8. MARTS. Nej, vi skal ikke have en 'mændenes kampdag' - den findes (hvis du ikke har opdaget det), men er dum og overflødig.

Det argumenterer jeg for her:

Vi er dybt taknemmelige og rørte over de imponerende donationer vi har modtaget de sidste par dage med #EDBspillet. Hele 19123 gode danske kroner er det blevet til! Det gør det meget lettere for en lille frivillig forening af ildsjæle som vores at skabe netværk for transkønnede børn og unge

Hvordan reducere kønsuligheden?
1. Øremærket barsel
2. Øge løngennemsigtigheden
3. Et mindre kønsopdelt arbejdsmarked
4. Mere lige fordeling af ikke-forfremmende opgaver

Det grundlæggende spørsmål:
”Mener vi, at det arbejde, som kvinder laver, er mindre værd, end
det mænd laver?”

God kampdag 👊🏼♥️

1/ Breaking the wheel isn't a military act; it’s an epistemic one. 🧵

On International Women’s Day, we talk about equality. But for me, feminism is about something deeper: Ending the "Great Wheel" of power that turns our democracy into a machine. ⬇️

Det absolut bedste argument for en formueskat er de riges demonstrativt selvhævdende og dybt asociale reaktion på forslaget om en formueskat.

Er i biografen. Pludselig toner Inger Støjberg frem på skærmen. Kvinde råber “vi gider ikk’ kig på dig” og folk griner. God dag☺️

Here in Copenhagen, I have an Iranian friend living with me, who left Teheran recently.

The people of Iran are like most people, peace loving and wanting love and good food.

You know, like in any good comedy.

This is tragedy. Masters of the universe.

Kharkiv 💔
Yesterday night, russians killed 13‑year‑old Lisa Polyanska and her mother by striking a five‑story residential building with a missile. This terrorist attack by Russia also killed nine of their neighbors🕯

Bastards. Terrorists.

Sweden is stepping up their game.

As a Dane I want the Øresund Toll returned, where we tax everything leaving the eastern sea - and when it comes to russia, the tax should be 130% - the cargo and the ship :)

Husk nu at det er Kvindernes Internationale Kampdag i morgen.
Er det så egentlig tilladt at tæve mændene?
Skulle spørge for en ven.

This viral song has a heartbreaking story.

“Papaoutai” by Stromae means “Dad, where are you?”

The rest is in the video.

Culture is memory.

Saw it. Hate it.
Walked around in my safety here in Copenhagen and felt powerless.

But we are not.

They will not win.

I'll think of Lisa more than Putin.

She is worth much more!

Yes, it's so imbecile - "we can bomb, and it has no knock-on effects".

Trump is living in a one-dimensional world of 'This is my world', and no one can beat me! (because my father is stronger than your father).

It's ridiculous and tragic at the same time.

For some reason Kremlin published an unedited recording of coughing and puffing Putin trying to wish women a happy March 8th Day

Hilarious!

Putin and independent women?

He is the supreme patriarch of our times. Trump is just the light-weight farce-version of him.
