The most immediate, and annoying character trait I noticed was the habitual need Danes have to tell other people how wonderful Denmark is,
Yeah Britts do exactly the same, so 👉👈 lol
Danish people are by nature in awe of authority
This is simply not true. For instance US intelligence complain about our lack of it, together with lack of strong ideology which makes hiring agents in Denmark harder.
IMO this can be roughly translated to it’s hard to find truly fanatic Danes. The “loose living” part is also contrary to your original claim that we are intolerant.
The food variety and quality was nothing like as good as in the UK.
Oh my god, 🤣🤣🤣 that’s just insane coming from a Brit. Yes you can get decent food in UK, but that’s all from foreign kitchens. You can keep your Marmite. For Christ sake man???
The public infrastructure was inadequate, and oh so slow.
My god, what is this clown on?? Denmark has one of the most developed infrastructures of the world, We have 4 independent forms of public transportation. We have world class public IT, where almost everything to do with public services can be done online. What is he babbling about?
Monopoly was the name of the game in business. No competition whatsoever. Danish produce and Danish produce only was the rule of things.
Name just 1 example where that’s the case. Denmark is a capitalist country like the rest of Europe. Almost all kinds of produce can be had as either danish or foreign, in UK they may have higher overweight of foreign produce, because the country isn’t able to feed itself like Denmark can. But the foreign options are clearly here if you want them. Incidentally UK used to be the greatest importer of Danish produce for decades by far. But the declining UK economy may have changed that.
The sheer cost of living in the place was/is at least 2-3 times that of the UK,
Another lie, yes it’s more expensive, but not nearly as much as claimed, and by the stats the higher wages more than compensates, so we have the equivalent of USD 10000 better purchasing power on an average wage. This guy is just completely lost.
everyone was asking me so proudly if I felt lucky to be living in Denmark.
That sounds weird, I’ve never heard that from any of my foreign friends. I’ve never heard it anywhere else for that matter. It would be more normal to ask whether he likes it here. Maybe if he plans staying, those I’ve heard. I generally just say I hope they like it here. Then they don’t have to answer, but can if they feel like. I think most people in most countries want foreigners to like their country.
Then there is the much vaunted Danish Medical System. Again according to Danes the best in the world.
Yeah that’s shit, and yes quality is declining steadily and has for years. In fact not unlike the UK unfortunately. I still think ours is a bit better, there have been horrendous stories from UK after COVID.
costs of prescription medicine and Dental care, even on the back of this public health service are out of control.
Yes medicine is expensive to start up, the public contribution increases if you need medicine over longer periods of time. This system sucks, and the politicians lied about it, when they made it.
Dental care is even worse, it’s insanely expensive, many people go to Sweden, Germany or Poland to have their teeth done. So yes on these 2 points we can definitely do better. There have been some slight improvements for young people after school where they have free dentist. I guess it’s for the young, because it 's cheap, but of course they say it’s to give them a good start.
This is certainly micro steps, where nothing has been done for 30 years.
and was appalled and shocked at the levels of Marxist/Feminist views being foisted on the young people.
Oh boy 😜 they must be pretty bad at it, because I don’t see that Marxist feminist society he seems to be so scared of.
My guess is he’s a conservative religious nut, that believes he will benefit once the conservatives have given everything to the 1%
The history of their country prior to the end of WWII is just not taught at all,
This is taught in public school, but not in a nationalistic way they often do in other more authoritarian countries.
Almost all the teachers were female (of a sort)
Yeah I’m beginning to see where this is going. It’s probably true most teachers are women, so what? Most nurses are too.
Almost every lecture I attended was weighted heavily towards a European future, and very few were not heavily biased in that direction.
Yeah, I think public opinion is pro EU in UK too now. After Brexit one of our strongest anti EU parties have actually changed their policies, and now want Denmark to stay.
Brexit was mostly in the interest of the Russians, who were a strong influence in the Brexit election, but the British government very conveniently refused to even investigate it.
It’s funny how NOT cooperating with your neighbors fail to yield any benefits?
OK I think I’ll stop here, the guy is clearly not very smart, and basically wrong about 90% of what he is saying.
He complains that Danes claim Denmark is one of the best countries to live in. By most measurements it is, and by most measurements Denmark beats UK. But anyone is of course free to prefer whatever country they want. If you are happy about and prefer the country you live in that’s great.
