Me too and yea exactly. I have a lot of examples of this crap. And then a forum member from Russia tells me it’s just right wing propaganda and there aren’t problems with immigration in Europe. Typical woke idiocy. Altough Trump and MAGA are utter nonsense imo.

You know in my city we have a similar place as Christiania although much much much smaller. So there’s violence and drug dealing, often by immigrants and refugees. People intimidated, Women have been raped, people stabbed. But the left doesn’t talk about it and want to keep it a no go zone for the police because they don’t want to be deemed racist or whatever. That’s where a lot of my gripe with the far left stems from actually.

Gpt also said it’s a recent thing in Denmark Denmark has become stricter on immigration over the past two decades due to a combination of political, cultural, and social factors. Here’s a breakdown of why and how this shift happened: 🇩🇰 Why Denmark Became Stricter on Immigration 1. Concerns about Integration Many Danes believe that some immigrant groups—especially from non-Western countries—have not integrated well into Danish society. Issues cited include: Language barriers Low employment rates Social segregation (e.g., in neighborhoods or schools) Clashes over values (e.g., gender equality, freedom of speech) 2. Rise in Right-Wing Populism The Danish People’s Party (DF) gained popularity in the 2000s by campaigning on anti-immigration platforms. Even mainstream parties (Social Democrats, Liberals) shifted their policies rightward to win over voters concerned about immigration. 3. Refugee Crises (2015 and Earlier) The 2015 European migrant crisis intensified concerns, especially after large numbers of asylum seekers arrived from Syria, Afghanistan, and other countries. Denmark imposed border controls, limited benefits, and passed laws to discourage asylum seekers from choosing Denmark. 4. Preservation of Welfare State Denmark’s generous welfare system depends on high taxes and broad social trust. Many Danes fear that high immigration—especially of low-skilled migrants—could strain public services and erode social cohesion. 5. National Identity and Cultural Concerns Danish politics often frames immigration around preserving “Danish values”: secularism, gender equality, freedom of expression, etc. The fear of parallel societies (separate communities with different norms) has driven laws targeting “ghetto areas” and cultural practices (e.g., face veils). 🏛️ Examples of Stricter Policies Strict family reunification rules Citizenship tests with cultural and historical questions Mandatory language and integration programs “Ghetto laws” targeting neighborhoods with high concentrations of non-Western immigrants Asset seizure law (2016) for asylum seekers (confiscating valuables to help pay for their stay) Reduced social benefits for new arrivals 🎯 Key Point: Denmark hasn’t just shifted to the right on immigration—it has normalized tough immigration policy across most major parties, including the Social Democrats, who currently lead a government that is more restrictive than many conservative parties in other countries. Would you like a comparison with Sweden, Germany, or another country’s immigration policies? Or want to know how these policies have affected immigrant communities in Denmark?

But i think that’s a newer thing. They had bad experiences with immigration. Places like Christiania got worse. They saw how horrible Sweden, Belgium etc. is doing with immigration so they became stricter. West European left is also delusional with immigration imo.

Yea also it didn’t really matter it was the way things were kind of normalcy. Life was brutal. Europeans were brutal. Native Americans were brutal. Mayans were brutal etc. But since we have things like Geneva, convention, human rights and so on it does matter. -

What’s the UNs fault in this? They tried imo -
They probably took that from Adolf Gpt: The Reichstag Fire is one of the most infamous political events in 20th-century history, often associated with Nazi manipulation and the consolidation of Adolf Hitler’s power in Germany. 🔥 What Was the Reichstag Fire? Date: February 27, 1933 Location: Reichstag building (German parliament) in Berlin What happened: The building was set ablaze late at night. The fire caused significant damage, particularly to the assembly chamber. 🧍♂️ Who Was Blamed? Marinus van der Lubbe, a 24-year-old Dutch communist, was arrested at the scene. He claimed he acted alone to protest against capitalism and the decline of workers’ rights. ❗ Nazi Response Hitler, newly appointed Chancellor of Germany, seized on the event to stoke fear of a communist uprising. He persuaded President Paul von Hindenburg to sign the Reichstag Fire Decree the next day. 🏛️ Reichstag Fire Decree (Feb 28, 1933) This emergency decree: Suspended civil liberties, including freedom of speech, press, assembly, and privacy. Allowed for warrantless arrests and detention without trial. Targeted Communists, Socialists, and other political opponents. Paved the way for the Nazis to crush opposition and consolidate power before the March 1933 elections. 🕵️ Was It a False Flag? Theory 1: Lone Arsonist (Official Nazi Position) Nazis claimed van der Lubbe acted on behalf of the Communist Party, using it as justification for a crackdown Theory 2: False Flag by the Nazis Many historians believe the Nazis orchestrated or at least exploited the fire to engineer a crisis. SA (Sturmabteilung) or SS (Schutzstaffel) operatives may have helped start the fire or knew in advance. The Nazis had a strong motive: it allowed them to eliminate civil liberties, jail opponents, and expand their power under the guise of national emergency. 💡 Historical Consensus Today Most historians today agree that van der Lubbe probably did start the fire, but: He may not have acted alone. The Nazis almost certainly used the event cynically to justify authoritarian rule. Whether they set it themselves or opportunistically exploited it remains debated. ⚠️ Impact The fire marked the beginning of the Nazi dictatorship. Within weeks, the Enabling Act was passed (March 1933), giving Hitler full legislative power and effectively ending democracy in Germany.

Are there many people who refuse to go? I think ultra Orthodox Jews usually refuse to go.

Well it’s not about that. But this woman seems like a huge bully. Making fun of people trying to aid Palestinians etc. Look into her eyes they are dead and her voice is annoying too. -

Well gladly i’m not American. American politics and the two party system is beyond trash imo. -
I was just thinking about some of the fears and this seems to be huge. That’s what MAGA comes down to imo. Fear of losing values, money, country, control etc. Which is conservatism they want to keep stuff and conserve it. In the political spectrum it’s more a fear of the right wing to lose something. Culture, country, money, power, control etc. On a personal level it can be also a fear of losing youth, life, looks, relationships and so on. On a spiritual level i guess it comes from a sense of lack or incompleteness. I can feel it quite strong sometimes the fear of losing something but I’m thankful for psychedelics and especially non duality for at least providing glimpses of no lack and completeness. Now most of left wing would say the fears of MAGA are totally insane. But if let’s say the fear of native americans to lose territory and they would understand it. Which is not a great comparison but you get the gist.

Aren’t Asian Americans the group who have the best grades at universities and highest salaries etc.? Which would make a case for good integration. Also Nigerians and so on. -

I mean i agree reasons for US being as powerful is allies, military, dollar as world currency, vassal states and governments, soft power like Hollywood and so on. But i think the loss can’t be prevented but yea it could have been prolonged. So i don’t think it was MAGA it would happen anyway. Every empire fell. Rome, Ottomans etc. -
Maybe maga is trying to have homogeneity. I guess the fear is that if there are too many let’s say latinos and leftists in the US they will get the vote power and destroy the « empire » from within or make it weak and then get destroyed by competition like China or something along those lines.
-
Left and right don’t trust each other at all. Otherwise they could find solutions.
-
Well first it sounds impossible. And after a week or two far left would say it’s inhumane, immigrants can’t be tracked and they all need legal status.
-
Far lefists actually just want to open the borders. No borders no nation is a slogan.
