    What the hell is happening in Denmark at the moment??

    First forcing the chat control topic upon Europe, now this?

    I looked up their government, would have expected far right or so, but it is liberal social democrat…

    So what happens here?

        It isn’t just Denmark. You see it here in Sweden, too. I’d be surprised if you didn’t see it across Europe.

        I’m not really happy with any of the big political parties here in Sweden. The Greens hate nuclear power so much they’d prefer to open up fossil fuelled power plants than keep nuclear ones up and running. The Left party work really hard to get out of the EU. These are both parties I align the best with.

        The Social Democrats are just these milquetoast soft-core conservatives, pretending to care about issues but turning their coats the second they get the chance. Unfortunately they always end up leading any of the left-winged government coalitions, typically with the help from the Centre who then gets to dictate all the policies, so it just ends up being a centre-right government that sells out our welfare to private interests.

        It’s been like this for well over a decade at this point. Useless bunch, the lot of them.

          Yeah Sweden has been doing great strides toward a full surveillance state, it is creepy as fuck.

            All country leaders are looking at North Korea with loving eyes.

            I remember how almost twenty years ago people were scoffing at the great firewall of China, how they’d restrict information and what not. Now all western countries are all “we must do this, for the children!

      The soc.dem. are not a left party anymore. The current government consists of three different center-right parties. And they have some weird priorities sometimes.

      The social democrats copied a lot of anti immigration talking points from the right because this seems to be just popular in Denmark. I guess they are just weird.

        But these laws are not anti immigration, they are anti freedom in general.

          True, my guess is as good as yours. It feels like they paired seemingly good intentions (I mean who is against fighting CSAM right) with a complete lack of technical understanding and proportion. Maybe that’s not a political spectrum kind of think but generational lol. Idk tho it still confuses me how people can be so ignorant to go through with this.
