I think adventured is interpreting danish integration policies a bit too harsly when it is calling them genocidal. They are hard though, and there is a current of xenophobia in danish policy making.

It would be more relevant in this case to mention that Denmark did very similar things, as Canada, towards the Greenlandic population during the last century. Utilising forced adaptations of kids, suppressing greenlandic language and culture, and force moving communities to hinder them being able to live in a traditional greenlandic way.




If you happened to be Danish, I watched this 30 min minidoc the other day and it was eye opening, I was curious how accurate it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A1LtmxkAYk - If you have some time, i'd love to know. Thanks.


Skimmed through it. Seems mostly accurate. There is a lot of laws made explicitly to control the muslim minority. There is something about it that feels off to me though. Maybe its the "oh wholesome Denmark is actually awful". It's not really a dark secret, nationalistic populism has been on the rise in all of Europe for 20+ years.

The scene with the 'antifascists' being used as an argument for the animosity in Danish society seems construed imo. We don't see what lead up to it. But if I saw someone vlogging with his pals in that spot, just after a Paludan 'event', I would also tell them to stop filming. That corner as been used as hangout for a gang, and coupled with the boiling atmosphere in the neighbourhood its not really safe. Regardless I find the video factual but very bombastic.
