You mentioned before that the Danish Left is actually less philosemitic than the Danish Right for reasons of Left-wing counter-semitism, that is, that their staunch anti-hierarchicalism leads them to oppose J's because J's are above browns in the Middle East and probably above everyone in Denmark as well? You used the term 'janteloven' to refer to this kind of thinking, of extreme leveling.

Therefore, the Danish Right would be less anti-hierarchical and thus more indifferent to J-dominance wherever it might be visible, and so are more pro-Israel?

How is the state of alphabet soup studies in Denmark? The 'Left' includes the governing Social Democrats? Meaning that those complaining are in the opposition only?

I'm not really understanding the Left-Right divide there on 'diversity'. Are the Social Democrats and Venstre both 'pro', leaving DPP as the more 'anti' out of the biggest three parties?

I don't entirely understand the dynamics myself and I think it might also be messed up because we are getting a lot of media from the US which is incompatible with the traditional danish dynamics, so we kind of have several "understandings" going on at the same time.

Jante loven is basically just that no one is better than anyone else. Even the Queen. Although we love the Queen and Swedes are, well, let's just say that when the dumbest danish blonde moved to Sweden both countries average IQ increased :P Nah, we love Swedes, but we also joke. We love dark jokes, we love edgy jokes, we love satire and irony. But don't think you are anything special. That's why there is complete outrage against jews for them having special rights wrt circumcision. The left knows that if it was a muslim tradition, then it would have been illegal already so they have found a place to rub the right with.

I think the danish right is also janteloven, but it is more pro merchant class & monarchy. The danish monarchy and aristocracy has a good history with the jews, I myself come from the upperclass and have jews all around me. The right is pro israel, yeah. Even the banned alt right wing party is pro israel, explicitedly so, although I have my doubts that this is only a front, I don't know -- one of the youth leaders is surely not pro jews, I know that.

The left includes social democrats, yes. I don't really know how the divide is currently, and I don't think the political parties themselves know. I think we might be on the brink of some fundamental chanes in danish politics, that, I'm afraid to say it, would eliminate anti immigration influence.

Social democrats changed to anti immigration last election to steal voters from DPP. We have 2 new parties, Hard Line and New Right. This is fracturing the right but also is a result of increased demand for anti immigration. At the same time we have Conservatives, Liberals and Venstre who are mostly pro immigration. Venstre recently got new leadership, has kicked out the former biggest proponent of anti immigration, the former leader has left to create a new party "The Moderates", which is a pro immigration party lol. So right now anti immigration parties might have as little as 10% influence, in reality, and with the old parties thinking of new ways to exclude the the anti immigration politicians, we could see the voters not getting their way for at least 1-2 elections more. It really could turn out badly, especially because we have no way to reach the masses and tell them about the situation. And one of the biggest "right wing" news papers just hired a communist chief editor.

DPP is certainly the most anti immigration out of the big three. Denmark is in a weird space right now.
