This is still going on in Europe today. Denmark has a large scale cultural genocide program similar to what Canada did to their indigenous population, except it targets Muslim children instead. The openly stated goal is to sterilize Muslims in Denmark of their own culture and force them to be acceptably Danish. The Europeans seem to be entirely fine with it, apparently, judging by the near complete lack of serious political effort to try to make Denmark stop the attack on Muslims and their culture.
- 0xdeadc0de 5y agoCould you point me to any new sources on this?
- tokai 5y agoI think adventured is interpreting danish integration policies a bit too harsly when it is calling them genocidal. They are hard though, and there is a current of xenophobia in danish policy making. It would be more relevant in this case to mention that Denmark did very similar things, as Canada, towards the Greenlandic population during the last century. Utilising forced adaptations of kids, suppressing greenlandic language and culture, and force moving communities to hinder them being able to live in a traditional greenlandic way.
- neom 5y agoIf you happened to be Danish, I watched this 30 min minidoc the other day and it was eye opening, I was curious how accurate it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A1LtmxkAYk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9A1LtmxkAYk - If you have some time, i'd love to know. Thanks.
- tokai 5y agoSkimmed through it. Seems mostly accurate. There is a lot of laws made explicitly to control the muslim minority. There is something about it that feels off to me though. Maybe its the "oh wholesome Denmark is actually awful". It's not really a dark secret, nationalistic populism has been on the rise in all of Europe for 20+ years. The scene with the 'antifascists' being used as an argument for the animosity in Danish society seems construed imo. We don't see what lead up to it. But if I saw someone vlogging with his pals in that spot, just after a Paludan 'event', I would also tell them to stop filming. That corner as been used as hangout for a gang, and coupled with the boiling atmosphere in the neighbourhood its not really safe. Regardless I find the video factual but very bombastic.

- 908B64B197 5y agoWhat should Denmark do then? Stop accepting migrants? Also is there even a serious source for this?
- strcmp 5y agoSo clearly it was bad for Canada to convert the culture of the people they colonized... and you're saying it's bad for Europe to convert the culture of people who are... ACTUALLY MOVING IN? Sounds like we're damned if we do, damned if we don't. Should white countries, people and culture simply cease to exist? It's absolutely insane to be talking about "cultural genocide" when referring to a group of people coming in. "In Rome, do as the Romans"
