It could also be a machine translation hickup. Maybe Hebrew has gendered titles, like in German?

She is still just the vice president. She is performing the duty of acting president but Maduro is still the legitimate president of Venezuela.

Until now they were at least polite enough to put on a rigged election to make it look democratic. They can't even be arsed to do that any more.

Danish Election: Clowns Keep Dancing As The World Burns

The world is in flames as the genocidal US Empire lashes out across the globe. Current news is concerning and very serious. Here, as a palate cleanser, is something far less serious — deeply unserious, in fact — namely a few short tidbits from the clown show that is the ongoing Danish election campaign:

**Danish Elite Learns to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb**

Nuclear proliferation is good, actually. At least that's what Denmark's political elite thinks now that they might get to host the weapons themselves.

Just a day after reassuring the public that their shiny new nuclear agreement with France — extending the French atomic umbrella to cover the Nordic hermit kingdom — would absolutely, positively, cross-their-hearts-and-hope-to-die not mean weapons of mass destruction on Danish soil, several right-wing parties have decided that maybe, just maybe, it would be totally awesome to have some nukes stationed here after all.

Only the Socialist People's Party, the Red-Greens, and the Alternative maintain the radical, extremist position that perhaps nuclear weapons are bad and Denmark shouldn't have them. The rest have apparently decided that since Russia exists, the only logical response is to embrace nuclear proliferation with the enthusiasm and sense of responsibility of teenage boys playing with fireworks.

The Social Democrats, having no principles whatsoever, have decided that while there are definitely no nukes coming now, they are absolutely open to changing their minds later. The far-right Liberal Alliance is positively giddy at the prospect of turning Denmark into a nuclear parking lot, calling it "carrying a responsibility for European security." The Liberal Party is "open to discussing it." The fascist Denmark Democrats and the Conservatives are open to the idea as well.

Lars Løkke Rasmussen from the Moderate Party has lifted his head from whatever public coffer he is currently raiding to make the bizarre claim, delivered with the straight face of a man who has never experienced shame, that since Denmark has already "gone down a path" by accepting the French nuke deal, you have to be open to going further — because if you never wanted to do that, you shouldn't have made the deal in the first place. Checkmate, pacifists.

It is the same logic as saying you might as well drink the whole bottle because you've already had a single drink, and if you didn't want to get shitfaced, you shouldn't have ordered the first gin and tonic to begin with.

The fascist Danish People's Party "doesn't think it makes sense" to even talk about nukes on Danish soil yet. The fascist Citizens' Party, meanwhile, admits they haven't thought about it at all. One almost admires the candor.

**Oligarchs Rend Garments, Don Sackcloth Over Proposed Wealth Tax**

Robert Mærsk Uggla, the shipping magnate whose family name is synonymous with Danish capital, is very, very upset about a proposal to tax personal wealth over DKK 25 mln. (RMB 27 mln.) with 0.5 percent annually.

Lacking a fully developed self-identity, the oligarch is unable to distinguish between himself and the nation and perceives national finances as an extension of his own. "A wealth tax would be harmful to Denmark," he writes in a commentary in reactionary broadsheet Berlingske, apparently believing that his personal discomfort is equivalent to national catastrophe.

The wealth tax, proposed by the Social Democrats, is of course entirely symbolic — a pathetic gesture toward progressive credentials after decades of neoliberal gutting of the welfare state. It will likely raise little revenue, affect few people, and be the first thing sacrificed in any coalition negotiation. But even this half-assed proposal is enough to send the hereditary rich into paroxysms of grief, as if the Bolsheviks were already at the gates.

Other oligarchs are rising from the coffins full of soil from their native lands where they sleep to make public statements about how mad they are. The CEO of wind power company Vestas and the owner of discount hardware chain Harald Nyborg are threatening to rage-quit and leave the country if they have to pay even the tiniest little wealth tax.

The nation holds its breath, wondering how Denmark will survive without the particular genius of men whose primary skill is inheriting money. Who will guide the container ships? Who will erect the windmills? Who will stock the shelves with cheap power tools? The tragedy is almost too much to bear.

**Social Democrats Flip-Flop on Abolishing Public Holiday**

When the Social Democrats, the Moderate Party, and the Liberal Party abolished the Great Prayer Day — a public holiday for centuries — it was presented as a grim necessity to fund military buildup urgently needed to repel Russia's Asiatic hordes.

Getting rid of the holiday had actually been a wet dream for the cabal of socially maladjusted libertarian nerds running the Ministry of Finance long before the Ukraine war. The war merely provided convenient cover for what they had always wanted to do.

Now, having bled votes in last year's local elections for becoming too right-wing and horrible even by Danish standards, Social Democratic candidates fear for their seats and their nice cushy jobs. Six out of ten Social Democrat candidates, including several government ministers, have suddenly discovered that they are, in fact, "overwhelmingly in favor" of bringing the holiday back.

State media claims the world has really changed since they abolished it. It hasn't. What has changed is that people got more pissed off than expected, and the Social Democrats' internal polling showed them bleeding support to parties that actually pretend to care about workers' quality of life.

The Great Prayer Day has become the most popular promise in Danish politics, a symbol of everything taken from the working class that parties are now scrambling to pretend they want to return. Whether it will actually return remains to be seen, and even leading Social Democrats who claim to favor it still waffle about securing funding.

**Nazis Threaten Democracy Itself With Stickers**

A group of Nazi losers, feeling that Danish politics isn't quite Islamophobic enough, has taken action. Someone placed "Fuck Islam" speech bubble stickers on five of Conservative candidate Rune Kristensen's posters overnight and filmed themselves doing it in the darkness, like the tough, brave warriors they undoubtedly imagine themselves to be.

Kristensen is sad and offended. "As a candidate, you're used to hats and glasses and beards drawn on posters," he explains. "But this is more unpleasant."

State media is reporting this instance of mild vandalism as if it's an affront to "the democratic process" [wanking motions intensify] itself, complete with interviews with random people on the streets talking about how disrespectful it all is. Stories of people fucking with posters and solemn reflections on how terrible this is for "democracy" are a fixture of every Danish election campaign, as predictable as the sunrise and approximately as newsworthy.

The national police are monitoring the situation, registering all reports of "harassment and threats" against candidates. Being a Nazi in Denmark is OK; hurting the feelings of people who matter is not.

**National-Conservative Blob Mad at Anti-Imperialist Protest**

Several parties of the national-conservative blob are performatively outraged about a recent protest in Copenhagen in memory of Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, who was martyred in an unprovoked US-Zionist terror attack on Tehran.

The national-conservative blob now wants to prevent attendees from obtaining citizenship, with party spokespersons falling over themselves to vice-signal about how much they hate the protesters and how unfair it is that the woke ECHR gives these scary non-white Muslims human rights.

"If you basically hate Denmark and everything Western — freedom, democracy, women, homosexuals, and whatever else these boring types hate — then I think they should travel back to their home country or their parents' home country and live as they wish to live there," says the virulently Islamophobic Minister of Immigration, Rasmus Stoklund. Fascist leader and convicted criminal Inger Støjberg calls Khamenei an "Islamic dictator" (presumably more scary than an ordinary dictator) and rants on Facebook about how the protesters should be put "on the first plane home."

The far right loves to circle-jerk about how important "freedom of speech" is — but only when it comes to being racist. When people, especially non-white people, speak out against the political correctness of the national-conservative blob, they want to unleash the full machinery of state oppression. Screening citizenship applicants for "anti-democratic opinions" (read: disagreeing with the national-conservative blob) has long been a wet dream for the right.

SoyViking [he/him] @hexbear.net 1w ago

That was back in the days of the competent imperialists. Denmark has been going through a similar human centipede process as the rest of the west during which the elite, who were supposed to know better, were ingesting the propaganda meant for the proles and now believe it fully. They really do think that they are invincible because of the purity of their Aryan democratic free markets or whatever.

Meanwhile the generation that remembered WWII is dead and the generation that remembered being scared of nuclear Holocaust during the cold war is on its way out. The people at the helm now are the children of the long 1990's who grew up to think of the west as invincible and who never had to deal with real material or ideological opposition.
