Gotta give Denmark credit, they're really going for the Shittiest Western European Country Award. Granted, I'm from the USA and we're obviously an unmitigated disaster, but like, what the fuck are you guys doing? Competing for attention?
The UK has entered the conversation, we will not be unseated in Europe. But yeah as hard as we try we pail in comparison to you guys, hopefully your inevitable implosion will serve as a warning to the rest of us aspiring authoritarianists.. Probably not.
Are you kidding? Whatever collapse they are trying to cause over there will inevitably be done here too once they're done. It's like a concerted global fascist effort, and people are sleepwalking straight into it, it's like they have some brain control machine.
Wait, shit, they do- the Internet.
Correct. The exact same fascists who are doing this to the USA have explicitly stated that they're targeting the EU next.
Some US states are in the process of banning VPNs too, though. I’m afraid the USA remains the uncontested champion of being a shitty western country and it‘s not even close.
None of the even remotely good ones. Why is Denmark trying to be Alabama, again?
