People from Denmark also all learn English during school and have done since at least the 60s, which is why you found that only 15% of them can't speak English. Over 50% of Danes correspond in English for their work and are confident they can read English news according to 2013 survey. The proportion of US Americans that can't read AP News stories is honestly probably higher, with the US now at 21% illiteracy.

AP News may be primarily US-focused news source, but they are a global news organization. They sell their stories via syndication to hundreds of other news organizations and newspapers worldwide, in multiple languages, and have done for a very long time. To decide that all their articles are automatically for US audiences is just wrong.

Gaslighting is repeatedly presenting information that's untrue to convince someone of an alternate reality. Literally not possible to do in a single message, and nothing I wrote is not factual.

I only tried to let you see how Americentrist your response to OOP was, and your subsequent response is to weaponise victimhood to dismiss any introspection. I will not waste further time.

This is a news article published in the 'world news' community of a worldwide Internet forum, from one of the oldest and most respected not-for-profit news agencies in the world, whom themselves published the article in their 'world news' section. It discusses Danish people's overwhelmingly negative responses to the American president's tariffs.

And you somehow make this into "ugh why to the liberal elite always only care about what the rest of the world thinks".

Maybe, just maybe, this article wasn't written nor shared solely for the demographic of USA voters?

Thanks for that. Great to see they're using native seeds and the program has been so successful they've been approached by groups in Australia and California to possibly adopt a similat approach.

Democrats largely avoided identity politics in the last election, especially for Harris/Waltz campaign - whereas the MAGA and Republican camp was full of identity politic attacks on 'critical race theory', 'wokeism', 'antifa', 'DEI', 'woke liberals' and 'leftists' (each of which are undefinable terms to Republicans anyway). Results: they lost, and they still get idiotic posts like this one complaining that they identity-politicsed too hard.

If you have specific examples of identity politics where you think Democrats went too far and lost their audience then by all means, share them - but I'm confident this is just the echoed opinion of some talking head.

Curious how a dumb statement claiming that the the last Democratic admin's policies were targetted towards only marginalised groups and somehow ignoring the rest of lower income classes and middle class would go.

It'll go down like it is right now - lots of people pointing out how dumb it is.

Do you have a link to info about this story? Sounds cool and obviously people are interested to know more from the comments.

Would be nice if OOP shared a link to the story instead of just a meme image, then the comments would be much more informed.

Edit: OOP has shared a link to the story. They are using native seeds. https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-latin-america-53532912

Nope sorry, corporations can only be 'people' legally if it endows all of the benefits but none of the risks.

I'm told this is a cornerstone of capitalism.

Far right wing government, a president (PM in their case) that has multiple credible cases of corruption against him and is holding onto power desperately to try to avoid prosecution.

Sound familiar?

Whoever did it should also immediately dispose of their ICE=KKK stencil and realize that a using a stencil is a really stupid way to get caught.

Nah. The image screenshot is asking 'where is his suit' and OP is referring to it also. The fact you wanna go off on everyone about a tangential issue and say they're missing the point is some cool irony though.

Also, casus belli is an act or event used to justify a war - that's not happened here, this is rhetoric only. You are probably thinking of jus ad bellum.

Backdrop of military folk also because this press conference (to the several embedded press people they dragged along for the event) was held at the US military base on Greenland - because they were not invited to visit any other part of Greenland.

So, they had literally nobody else who could be in the background of the shot except reporters and US base personnel.

Both Denmark and Greenland governments responded by saying they view this as an escalation and that Vance had better watch his tone. I think they should start talking about cancelling the renewal date of the land lease for the US base (doesn't matter if the date is far in the future, just telling them they're risking expulsion is enough).
