She absolutely did so. In 1941 everybody knew that the Nazis were a gang of murderers. Anybody claiming that they didn’t know how bad theybwere are lying to your face. And Nazi occupation of Denmark, as horrible and traumatic as it was, was incredibly survivable for non-Nazis. She and her husband could have said “no thanks we’re good” when asked to join the Nazis and literally nothing bad would have happened to them other than having to postpone home ownership a couple of years.
This is such obvious bullshit. Anyone with half a working brain cell can figure out that even if you actually were doing an adventurism you wouldn’t use the official stationery of your legal organisation for it.
She either made it the fuck up to get attention or some deranged chud mailed in some powdered sugar in a clumsy attempt to smear the DSA. Either way many people are going to believe that Zohran Madani himself signed the letter and licked the stamps.

Being sick is such a ridiculous waste of time. No thank you, I don’t want to spend days on end coughing and having my nostrils clogged.
Danish civil records survived WWII mostly unharmed so the opportunity to commit fraud was not there. Also, she appears in the so-called Bovrup files, a register of people who joined the Nazi party.
Denmark had the least brutal Nazi occupation in Europe. It was still horrible, as all Nazi occupations are, but there is a reason why German soldiers called Denmark “the whipped cream front” and considered deployment there to be a kind of holiday. Norway or the Netherlands had far worse experiences during the war.
You can’t have nice things in the imperial core. A few days ago the news broke about the 112 year old Kirsten Schwalbe, who had just broken the record as the longest-living Dane ever.
Schwalbe is well enough to be of clear mind and has been a recurring human interest story on local TV. The local TV station runs an Instagram profile for her and a biography has been written about her. A cozy feel-good story about a nice old lady, right?
Nope. In a interview given on occasion of the record, she admitted to having been a card-carrying Nazi. In 1941 she joined the Danish nazi party. She claims that she was “not interested in politics” and only did it because her husband did so. She had claimed that she didn’t know what the Nazis stood for. In 1941.
Being tricked into celebrating a closeted Nazi is bad as it is but not bad enough for Danish media. In a vile article state media TV2 is wheeling out so-called historians to make up excuses for Schwalbe. explaining how the Nazis were offering her husband money for being a courier of he joined and during the war and nazi occupation people “had to survive”. The article then immediately contradict itself by saying that the Schwalbes wanted the money to buy a house, not because they were starving. The article goes on to neglect culpability for nazi party members by explaining how it could simply have been a way to express anti-communism and besides, it was looking like Germany was winning the war.
About the Faraday cages in schools: My kid’s high school has returned to pen and paper, is banning computers from class and has stopped giving written assignments as homework because they know that students are just going to use AI anyways. They have also introduced the concept of “forced reading for pleasure”, where students have to sit on their ass for 45 minutes straight and read a God damn book of their own choice, any book, without interruption.
I do think these policies are very sensible but it is a bit horrifying that we are at a point where they are necessary.
The Basque already did this in 1973
The result should also be read in the context of a decision from the ECHR last year where it was found that Denmark had violated the human rights of the defendant by convicting him for defamation in 2021 for saying that Rasmus Paludan, a far-right lunatic calling for the equivalent of the Nuremberg laws for Danish Muslims, was a nazi.
Traditionally Danish politicians have mostly avoided suing people for defamation so the right-wing practice of political SLAPP suits has been unknown to Danish courts. They failed with the Paludan conviction in 2021 but today’s decision indicates that they have learned their lesson and is not going to humour more of these suits.
This was not a random citizen. This was the leader of the fascist Danish People’s Party suing the leader of the centre-right Radical Left party for a statement made in a public election debate.
The Radical Left leader said that he fash leader was part of a movement that wanted to “intern and deport” people based on their religion and skin colour
The fash leader was campaigning under the neonazi term “remigration” and had made it a key campaign issue to reduce the Danish Muslim population. Back in 2002 he was convicted for racist propaganda by disseminating a flyer equating Muslims and “a multi-ethnic society” with violence and mass sexual assault.
At the election earlier this year, the Danish People’s Party became the second-largest right-wing party. Recent polls make them the second-largest party overall and the largest right-wing party.
The legal costs the court ordered the fash leader to pay the liberal he was suing were also rather high for this kind of case. This is likely the court’s way of indicating that the suit was frivolous to begin with and a signal for politicians not to make more bullshit suits like this.
The fash leader is not going to pay those costs himself, unfortunately. His party is going to pick up the tab for his failed SLAPP suit. He will however have to declare that transfer on his tax return as a taxable income and I’m as certain that he is going to do that that I’m certain that the tax authorities are going to come after him if he doesn’t.
Also, this case fell because of the free speech protections in the European Convention on Human Rights. The ageing Danish constitution is the only European constitution with no general material protection of free speech. It only contains a formal protection of free speech in the form of a ban on preemptive censorship.
Except there is an overwhelming body of precedents that the democrats would never do such a thing.
Not to defend Terf Island but most of the clones are not elected, they are simply installed as replacements once the previous clone fails.
I’ve seen the term “academic-hooligan” which might cover it.
My inner child keeps nagging me to buy a real sword, which I have absolutely no use or room for.
What a bunch of posers. True believers in the coming AI utopia take up a heroin habit.
Are there civilians trapped inside the encirclement?
The Samson theory of bullying: The bully’s power resides in their hair and cutting it off wil make them unable to harass other students.
I think they actually use dissolved amber in some perfumes or something. Or maybe rich people used it as a spice or medicine in the olden days.
Either way, your post is too good for badposting.
