Alex Vanopslagh wrote that Liberal Alliance's Mads Strange had asked a person who described himself as a conservative Muslim in the TV 2 program Højskolen on Wednesday if it was a problem that only 16 percent of Muslim men in Denmark believed that homosexuality was acceptable. According to Vanopslagh, the person rejected that it was a problem and would not answer what he personally thought about homosexuality. Vanopslagh wrote that he disagreed and considered homophobia to be among the least Danish things. He believed that Muslims could be Danish if they supported the fundamental values of democracy and had embraced Denmark. As a member of parliament, he claimed to have both the right and the duty to establish the requirements for Danish citizenship. He wrote that applicants should at a minimum acknowledge the precedence of Danish law over religious laws, an individual's right to make choices about his life, and equal rights for homosexuals. They should also not support Islamist regimes or terrorist movements. Therefore, Liberal Alliance would screen applicants and say no to individuals who had praised terrorism, supported Hamas or similar organizations, threatened people who left Islam, or acted hostile towards homosexuals, he wrote. Vanopslagh wrote that the government would reintroduce a bill on citizenship for 2,055 individuals. He referred to the government's own statement that applicants' values should be screened, but that the screening should not apply to the 2,055 individuals. According to him, this risked allowing Islamists, rabid anti-Semites, or anti-democrats to gain citizenship. Liberal Alliance would not vote for more citizenships until the screening was in place, Vanopslagh wrote. He described Danish citizenship as a gift rather than a right. #Danmark #Statsborgerskab #LiberalAlliance (translated)

The argument of interest on interest was derogatory for the employer, as the employer, according to the writer, was not punished but simply did not have to pay wages to someone who was not at the workplace. The writer questioned why the employer should be forced to pay for something it neither chose nor could influence. The writer also stated that Danish companies were exempt from employer contributions and that Denmark had a labor market contribution of 8 percent, which was deducted directly from employees' salaries to finance labor market policy. According to the writer, this meant that other employees essentially financed individuals who were not working. The writer argued that those referring to Denmark should therefore first advocate for the abolition of employer contributions and then that employees should pay for others' absences from work. The writer described the article as very poor. #arbetsmarknad #företagande #politiskdebatt (translated)

Rikke Sten wrote that individuals with an income below 1 million were referred to as the poorest just a few months ago, while the blue were portrayed as evil for not giving 2 million Danes a large check, as the good did. She wrote that this portrayal had made Pia sad. Sten wrote that individuals with an income above 710,000 were now considered among the richest, and that it was seen as good to take student grants from those who were previously referred to as the poorest. She wrote that the terms good and evil depended on who used them. #politik #sociologi #samfund (translated)

The Baron of Øresund questioned whether there had been Russian drones over Denmark or if the country had been attacked by a "capable actor," as the government had claimed according to him. He also wrote that politicians and the media had suggested or speculated that Russia was behind the explosion of Nord Stream. He further wrote that there had not been a provocation or a test of NATO when Russia fired a flare at a Danish helicopter, which according to him was flying too close to a Russian warship. He asked when what he described as lies, deception, and misinformation would be regarded as war propaganda. #Misinformation #Krigspropaganda #Rusland (translated)

The Baron of Øresund wrote that a new video, in his opinion, showed a Danish helicopter flying close to a Russian warship, and that the helicopter may have itself been the provocateur in the episode. He referred to Defense Minister Jeppe Bruus calling the video a Russian misinformation campaign and saying that some of the material did not originate from the day in question. The Baron of Øresund asked which parts did, and whether it included the footage of the helicopter near the ship. If it did, he believed that the Russians were justified in reacting as they did, under international law. He wrote that the Folketing and the media should demand answers, but that he did not have high hopes that they would do so. #forsvarspolitik #russiskkrig #modinformation (translated)

Vláďa Foltán stated that Canada, Denmark, Germany, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom joined forces against Donald Trump's sanctions against the International Criminal Court and strongly rejected Trump.

Eva Selsing wrote that she did not see it as a problem that the left was critical of B.T.'s conservative profile. On the contrary, she believed that praise from left-leaning politicians and commentators would be a cause for concern, as it could indicate that the media had deviated from its conservative line. She argued that B.T.'s direct conservatism scared a left that had had a significant influence on media debate for decades. According to Selsing, the left only supported conservative viewpoints it could control, and the more subdued conservatism had followed the left's norms of shaming, censorship, and cancellation. She wrote that this type of conservatism had dominated the Danish media landscape until a few years ago, and that the situation still prevailed outside of B.T. Selsing believed that B.T.'s success was partly due to the media offering conservative perspectives and analyses that the readers and viewers, according to her, could not find elsewhere. She criticized other media for presenting uniform headlines and analyses and for expressing outrage over differing opinions. She wrote that actors with interests in conformity and censorship therefore reacted strongly to B.T., and that she would be more concerned if they did not. #Borgerlighed #MedieDebat #Ytringsfrihed (translated)

Nadja Natalie Isaksen wrote that she hoped voters would remember Christian Johan Zedig's name in the next election. She connected him with others she described as victims of decades of failed immigration policy. https://t.co/4VmvGkTccm #valg #udlændingepolitik #danskpolitik (translated)

Emilie Jäger wrote that she was proud to work at B.T., which she described as a free and independent media outlet with a civic foundation. According to her, this was reflected both in the newspaper's debate section and in the choice of topics. She believed that Denmark needed different media and mentioned Information, Politiken, DR, and B.T. as examples. Jäger wrote that she often received calls from dissatisfied politicians and their advisers, and occasionally even ministers. However, she had not experienced internal pressure from bosses regarding her political beliefs or about covering anyone in a certain way. She believed that B.T. also adhered to fundamental journalistic principles of hearing all parties, faithfully representing their viewpoints, and describing facts. According to Jäger, sources she interviewed both within and outside Christiansborg were sometimes dissatisfied, but her impression was that sources on both the right and left generally felt professionally treated. She also wrote that her management and colleagues, along with her, had turned a large deficit into a million-dollar surplus, while the newspaper played an important role in Danish democracy. #journalistik #demokrati #BorgerligtMedie (translated)

Henrik Dahl wrote that Lars Løkke Rasmussen, in his opinion, was the Danish politician most indifferent to facts. Dahl claimed that Rasmussen had neither knowledge of migration nor wanted to acquire it. He referred to his own experience from working on the preparation of the VLAK government's initiative against parallel societies and wrote that Rasmussen, despite great efforts, did not learn anything about the subject. #danskpolitik #migrasjon #LarsLøkkeRasmussen (translated)

AI, power, and wages will be in focus at a labor market conference in Stockholm on November 12, where Harvard professor Richard B. Freeman and Danish professor Jakob Roland Munch will discuss how AI can change the balance of power between employers and trade unions. #AI #arbetsmarknad #löner (translated)

Lars Andersen wrote that Soleima from the Folk High School had reported 79-year-old Pia Kjærsgaard for violence, even though none of those present, according to him, had witnessed the violence. He expressed enthusiasm for the report and wrote that such behavior could increase the desire of Danes to remigrate what he called the Soleima segment. He added that only portraying Soleima wearing a bomb vest would, in his view, be more effective. #dkpol #vold #Soleima (translated)

Danish Justice Minister Nicolai Wammen told Danish television TV2 on Wednesday that he can't find the right words to express how angry he is that a Swedish police officer and the father of a victim has been subjected to such a senseless and unnecessary act of violence. #umor #nasilje #migranti (translated)
