Bjorn is a Stalinist?

[DBTrek]

As for internet pussies, I'm not a beta male fawning over people richer and supposedly more succesful than me. That's what egalitarianism is actually about: The opposition to elitism. You guys, otoh, "know your place". And take great pride in it.

That's where you're confused. Egalitarianism isn't opposition to elitism, it's opposition to individuality. We're a "know your place" culture because Americans have to fight for our place in the hierarchy, and therefore, if you aren't at our level - best get to steppin' back to your place. Places gotta be earned. We don't hand them out like Zwarte Piet candy. That's why the lowest rung of the American ladder is an SJW haven of proto-Danes constantly trying to drag everyone down to their shitty level, Denmark style.

It's an American thing that's hard to get if you weren't raised in it.
But I bet the Danes of 1000AD would get it.

Europe is far more stratified than America ever was or is. You literally have nobles.

We should have let Stalin have Denmark during Yalta. It is an interesting question whether those fairies would be any different if the Soviets had controlled them for the 20th century. Imo the difference would be negligible.


Denmark is fine with Totalitarian govt. Aside from the one they have today, they got on fine with the Nazi one.

Denmark is the most debt laden per capita country on Earth. Far be it from me to shatter your expectations, but sensible capitalism sounds like a Stalinist term for, well, Stalinism and state enforced conformity.

I've never been to Denmark (partly because I don't speak Arabic) but it sounds like a frozen gulag shithole.

It would add insult to injury if on top of this Marxist state they had some kind of stupid monarchy. That would be like rubbing salt in the wound. Why would a state that already wastes so much money of stupid bullshit like commie college need a king? Retarded if you ask me

It's culture. You wouldn't understand.

As for most debted.. sure personal debt. Meh, not a huge problem:

http://www.nationalbanken.dk/en/publica ... -debt.aspx

Danmarks Nationalbank's analyses show that household debt is not a serious threat to financial stability. This is particularly true in relation to mortgage banks. The vast majority of households with high debt levels are financially robust, and as far as mortgage debt is concerned, the repayment ability of households has proved to be robust. But (non-mortgage) banks are likely to see a stronger increase in losses if the Danish economy is hit by a severe setback. A special issue relates to the use of mortgage bonds with short maturities for financing the households' adjustable-rate loans.

And now, since it's approaching midnight here and I have to be up in about six hours, I'll return some time tomorrow to see how high your bullshit mountain has gotten.

That may be your postmodernist, personalized definition of egalitarianism. In the world outside your safe space bubble, what you actually described in your post was the definition of collectivism. Not egalitarianism. From Merriam-Webster:

1: a belief in human equality especially with respect to social, political, and economic affairs
2: a social philosophy advocating the removal of inequalities among people

There's nothing at all anti-individualist about that. In fact, it is more respectful of individualism because it assumes that all citizens should be equal before the law and have equal opportunities to advance their social, political and economic standing and influence in society.

And you just demonstrate how much of an obedient peasant you are. You have one of the Western world's lowest social mobility.

You bet the Danes of 1000 AD would get it. The Danes of 1000AD who weren't jarls and kings were all beta male cucks, sucking their master's dick, saying Yes, master, please master, can I have some more, master? And those who were jarls and kings didn't gain their tiles by "earning" it from the ground up, from peasant to jarl. No wonder someone like you'd pine for a weak ass society such as that. Danes of 1000 AD were a people of submissive bitches. Same as practially everyone else of that time. Could they bash someone's skull in? Sure.

Didn't make them any less submissive, though, any less pathetic by any modern free man's standard who believes the land he lives on, belong to him and not... his "betters". But I guess grasping what freedom is all about is hard to understand when you've been raised to be be a brown-nosing toady:

Yeah because Jeff Bezos and every other American billionaire and inventor you can name were all nobility. They certainly knew their place when starting from their garage.


Europe on the other hand is a giant toilet where rich wig wearing faggots still play dress up and are revered by their citizens as nobility. You are more cowed than TG Lee. You have a monarchy? How can you possibly act like you have some high ground over America? That wouldn't fly for a minute in the states, partly because we don't have state-sponsored homosexuality the way Hygge-land does.

They aren't called nobles, but they're being treated like old school nobles all the same. If Trump imposed a planned economy, rolled back private ownership of businesses, outlawed other political parties...and called that "Greatenism"... it would still be fucking Communism. The higher you put your elites up on a pedestal (and Trump is also the elite), the closer you come to not simply nobility, but aristocracy.

"Europe" doesn't have nobles, btw. A minority of countries there have. Denmark has a nobility.... but it isn't an aristocracy. It lost all of its legal privileges and political influence, unlike for example the British nobles. I worked for a count in my teens. No one in their right minds would even have considered acting more deferential to him than any other employer. His name was simply "Adam", or is... dunno if he still lives. Most nobles are just middle class blokes like the rest of the Danes.

Us having a monarchy doesn't at all preclude us from being more equal, having more equal opportunities, more equality in general. And thus, more freedom, because freedom is choices. Our monarchy isn't an aristocracy, she doesn't rule us, nor even govern us.

"Wig wearing..."? Your image of "Europe" seems... no, it is... resting solely on you having watched British TV shows or movies, or TV and movies about Britain. Your nearly as geographically illiterate as DB.

Danes strong and assertive don't accept class bullshit. Americans puny and weak, don't move up in the world, stay where their parents, grandparents, great-great-great grandparents were. Sad.

I agree with that assessment. SJWism is the manifestation of the feminizing of American. Egalitarianism is a fatal cancer.

Every Millennial female I know, and almost all Millennial males are lost. Luckily, they don’t have children.

SJW'ism is Victimhood Culture. You're part of that culture when you paint a little criticism as someone trying to oppress you, portray people who disagree with you as part of the Racist/Communist, unfair "Systemic Racism"/ unfair "Systemic Deep State" boo-hoo bitchyness. Trump is part of that culture. Trump embodies that culture more than any political leader ever has. Elitism is the cancer.
