I just read the nastiest comments from Danes and Canadians about Greta Thunberg and Thiago Ávila being kidnapped by Israel. Tell me again how progressive and polite/nice Danes and Canadians are?

I never said all of them you dipshits. Canada and Denmark are constantly getting treated like utopias and everyone won't shut up about how "nice" everyone is, it's a bullshit trope and these countries aren't as progressive as everyone makes em out to be you just don't care about Indigenous people
I expect you to exempt me, personally, from all statements about men, white people, or USians. If you don't, I will assume you're talking about me specifically, even though you have no idea who I am.
Every place does! I'm just tired of the bullshit "everyone is so nice if Canadians accidentally bump into each other they'll keep apologizing back and forth" type shit
Canada is super racist and phobic, but since we're polite about it, people don't listen to the message and think Canadians are nice. Try being non-white or trans or otherwise 'different' and you'll see a very different side of many Canadians.

Every day I get more and more horrified about how we (Danes) behave.
Not sure if it has always been bad (problably has) - but the tone is getting rougher for each passing day.
So... Not sure either, why we are being put up on some pedistal?
We have Petit Pierre and all his mini-MAGAt lemmings. No country is perfect, but I'd rather be in Canada than down south. As a dual citizen, I KNOW it's better here.
There are assholes in every country, sadly. Look at politics globally to see how much support right-wingers have everywhere as proof. I don't think national stereotypes are ever applicable to entire populations either.

I admire Greta.
But we have our own maple-maga far-right dumb-as-a-rock trolls too.
Every country has.
We learned this in the government to government meetings after the Desautel Decision

(We’re awful in other areas as well but the Zionism and Islamophobia is very bad but waved away because we’re not as bellicose as the US)
