A public Holiday stolen and a nation devasted

Few places on earth can be so depressive as a country where the central government goes out and steal public holidays. None have tried it since a German dictator took advantage of the illness of a Danish king centuries ago. People who have watched the movie “A royal affair” know how it ended for him.

The public holiday is today. It was a Friday I hoped to spend in my garden preparing it from the wet winter. The climate changes have affected Denmark a lot. Flooding, storms, rain. Our houses are not build for all this water. They basically rot because wood in Denmark is of poor quility. Paint is too costly because there are very few businesses left, so there is no real competition. We cannot afford to keep all the repairs up and now we cannot even get the time off to do it.

Life is not easy in Denmark. I doubt if other populations on the earth might ensure more hardship compared to us. I have stopped watching the news. All these wars. Yes. People get killed but in most cases it is a bullet and then it is over. It is not like here where the government over Copenhagen wants us to work until we simply die at work.

Nothing can be done until we have an election the next time. I can see that some parties want to put pressure on Israel by acknowledging the people who used to live there before terror organizations like Lehi and Haganah put so much pressure on the world that they created Israel which is now running some kind of apartheid rule over the orignal population. I think I will vote for one of them.

Until the election, all we can do is trying to survive. It will be hard and for many of us, the election will come too late. Many do not know how much more they can cope with. First we had the pandemic where many small businesses were forced to close while the big supermarkets moved into their business area. In shopping malls the supermarket even expanded out in the hall way in front of the closed smaller shops. Denmark took the wrong approach with the lock-downs. Sweden proved to the world that an open strategy was a better strategy. Yes. More people might have died but the way of living in Denmark during these years was not a real life but a life waiting. Many would have chosen death instead because now where we live and see that a public holiday is lost, life is almost not worth it.

Anyhow, now I will drive to work. The prices of public transport has exploded so while I have to fight for a parking space, public transport is simply too costly to use for ordinary people.

It is just a bad day today.

Denmark to follow in Tuvalu’s foodsteps

Every 6 summer cottages in Denmark will not be buildings any insurance companies will ensure in the future. Why?

Because they will be removed by the rising oceans. That is the sad result of the climate crisis. Of course we could do as they do in the Netherlands. We have the techonoly and knowhow to build dikes. But then of course that would be an investment for the next generation, so in many places in Denmark people who has decided to be the last in their line of heritage votes against building dikes because frankly they believe it is better to enjoy the view while they are alive and just die when water comes to claim their property.

Part of me understand them. It is not fun to be old in Denmark. The job with the lowest recognition is a job where you look after old and handicapped people. Many job-advisers tell the children in school that if they fail getting the jobs of their dream, they can go to work in nursing homes and be on their cell phone until they can go home from work. The people in the nursing homes are neglected as result of this, so why not take the oppertunity to let nature decide when it is over.

During the last couple of years we have never seen so many storms and so much rain. People cannot build basements because the soil cannot absorb all this water so it ends up in the basement in houses which never have been build for the amount of rain we see these years.

I have children and I enjoy see them move on in life but I also sometime think if I got them for my own sake because they will have to live in a world where they cannot get proper meat, they risk seeing their home flooded and they cannot even make jokes about it, because some might be offended as I wrote a bit abouit in my previous post.

Many Danes have decided that the world is not a good place, so they will not get children. I respect them fully when I see that we have used the resources the world has provided us for a full year in 3 months. In a few years the Danish government will cut down on farming so we only produce the food from the last the reduced Danish population needs. The rest of the world will have to provide food for themselves because the new taxation of our agricultural sector will cut the production with 70 procent according to the organizations which represent the agricultural sector. A massive number of jobs will be lost. Migrant farmer workers will have to find work in other countries and other countries will have to make sure that they can grow the food they want because now Denmark will be green and only support the vanishing population until the last Dane is gone from this world, which will happen in 2 to 3 generations only the ocean rise at a higher speed than predicted.

I hope that I am gone when this happen. Already today it is difficult to find food in the shops which we as a family can afford and it will only get worse.

As stated in the headline, Denmark is following the foodsteps of Tuvalu and is properly gone in 100 years. That is the end for sure!

Freedom of speech has come to an end in Denmark

Readers of a blog which I am co-author on “1000 places you don’t want to be as a teenager” has properly wondered what we will do now where we are close to the goal of posting about 1000 places where children have endured what no children should do.

I can tell you that there will be no further posting and it is for a legal reasons. Denmark is no longer Denmark as most remembers it. The Danish laws have been changed in order to boost export to a number of countries abroad where human rights have less priority. Countries who called for a stop from import of goods from Denmark if we did not change our laws so we do no insult them in what they call culture.

Right now the Danish police are checking up on old archives websites to see if anyone has made jokes in the past. A trial has been conduct against a person who had posted jokes on a website some 8 years ago.

A joke in Denmark which has been common for some time states that a group of drinkers of alcohol and a certain sexual minority both enjoy “cold stuff from boxes”. I will not name either groups so I will not insult them even when the sexual minority while they gain protection from the law in regards to freedom of speech still can be prosecuted if they engage in their sexual act. They are a sexual minority (I hope) and that entitles them to protection from the rest of the population even when it is question about jokes.

While I am fully for any law that could increase export abroad in a situation where Denmark as society has become so much under pressure that we had to remove a public holiday which is a torment so big that it is hard to find any place on this globe where the population endures so much suffering, the price of boosting our export in my mind is too high.

Denmark might not be there at all in some years. We have the Russians who will go after one country after another. We have the nature itself which seems destined to focus of wiping our country out with flooding and endless ammounts of rain and then even if they do not succeed, then we are pushed to live in a way which is almost like telling us “Do not be Danes anymore!”

Something is rotten in Denmark. I cannot put my finger on it. We were fooled to believe that isolation usself of friends, family and the society entire was the way to survive the pandemic. Sweden showed us that was a lie but the cost of isolation has already meant a huge increase in mental health issues in our society. Everyone get burned out early and has to retire.

Now many of us are back at work only to discover that we cannot smoke during breaks (even breaks where we pay the breaks), our children cannot meet and drink like they used to which increase their problems to function in workplaces and at the schools because drinking with someone is the only way we Danes socialize.

And then they start stealing holidays in the parliament while they grants themselves extra days. (Yes, they did that).

And now the police attention on jokes. Jokes was the thing which carried the Danes during WWII. Early on we were occupied by invading forces. While it seems that we just settled to our fate, we made jokes at the occupiers and talked secretly so we could hide refugees and minorities from them so they did not end up in the gaschambers.

And of today we cannot use jokes to endure the daily life, we Danes have to endure.

So it is time to retire and remain at home. As stated in the start we cannot participate in the fight for human rights any longer as the freedom of speech seems to have been abandoned to a point where we can compare ourselves to citizens in North Korea or Russia.

My personal blog will continue but I will try to keep away from politics.
