At least in Denmark, the far right is under attack for supporting Trump earlier, backtracking and admitting they were wrong, and joining everyone else in being pissed. I don't think this helps them.

There's a good recent novel on the underground communist anti-japanese resistance in Korea before the war: Mater 2-10 by Hwang Sok-yong, and the actual task was to last 24 hours before you broke, and very few did, and a lot of them died right after. State repression works. At least for a while.

I was thinking the same thing about music. Every technological advance always somehow leads to great weird new music, but AI? In three years it’s just slop and cheap soundalikes. It’s like there’s something distinctively uncreative about it.

Jeg var ret glad for den, da den først kom til Danmark. Den har noget virkelig flot kameraarbejde, og Matsoukas' musikvideoæstetik skinner flot igennem. Visse scener svæver ligesom en god trapsang nogengange gør det :)

Der har været noget kritik for nylig af, at Queen & Slim ikke fik dansk premiere, men jeg kan helt nøgternt godt forstå det. Filmen havde premiere sidste

Trying it in a 'first-past-the-post' system seems more likely to me to lead to what has happened in the UK.

And, crucially, it only worked because Denmark is a multiparty system. For every right-wing worker they got, they alienated an old voter, and actually lost a few votes in 2019 compared to 2015. Those voters went to other left wing parties, though, leading to an overall landslide victory.

The thing that worked for the Social Democrats 2015-2019 was moving right on immigration and left on welfare at the same time. It was less accommodating the far right, as it was outflanking them on nativism, by outbidding them on what they'd do for the white working class.
