“Getting to Denmark” is a phrase coined by political philosopher Francis Fukuyama to denote a good goal for most countries around the world: becoming a stable, nice End of History country like Denmark. But as I have often pointed out, history hasn’t ended in Denmark, which in the 21st Century has taken the lead, since the 2001 election, in working to be Staying Denmark by not letting itself be overwhelmed by immigration fraudsters who have the goal of Getting to Denmark personally, by hook or by crook.
From the New York Times:
Denmark Plans to Isolate Unwanted Migrants on a Small Island
By Martin Selsoe Sorensen, Dec. 3, 2018COPENHAGEN — Denmark plans to house the country’s most unwelcome foreigners in a most unwelcoming place: a tiny, hard-to-reach island that now holds the laboratories, stables and crematory of a center for researching contagious animal diseases.
As if to make the message clearer, one of the two ferries that serve the island is called the Virus.
“They are unwanted in Denmark, and they will feel that,” the immigration minister, Inger Stojberg, wrote on Facebook.
On Friday, the center-right government and the right-wing Danish People’s Party announced an agreement to house as many as 100 people on Lindholm Island — foreigners who have been convicted of crimes and rejected asylum seekers who cannot be returned to their home countries. …
This summer, a ban on face coverings was introduced and quickly nicknamed “the burqa ban” as it followed a debate on the Islamic garment seen by some as “un-Danish.” This month, Parliament is expected to pass legislation requiring immigrants who want to obtain citizenship to shake hands with officials as part of the naturalization ceremony — though some Muslims insist that they cannot shake hands with someone of the opposite sex.
The government contends that hand shakes are “a basic Danish value.”

It is better than nothing, but mostly a symbolic gesture to get voters off their backs. Looking at the size of Lindholm island on Google maps, this is a one time only deal, what are they going to do two years from now with the next batch of criminal asylum seekers?
Jesus, imagine having just 100 people you need to get out of your country…
Anthrax Island?

The BBC is outraged that a mentally ill Utah man won’t face hate crime charges for assaulting a Mexican after he announced he was going to kill a Mexican.
Seems like they can pretty much do whatever they want in terms of a sentence. Eight serious charges aren’t enough??
Meanwhile, a ND psycho planned to kill Trump with a forklift:
No one calling for hate crime there. Most of the WP commenters shared their sympathy for his attempt.
So: Donald “All Tweet, No Action” Trump is beaten by Denmark on his own bread-and-butter issue.

To the extent that Danish People’s Party pressure since the early 2000s is responsible for the relatively good news that only 10% of babies being born today in Denmark are Non-European (the same rate presumably a lot higher in neighboring states of Sweden and of course Krazy Merkel’s Germany; the same figure is hovering near 50% non-white births in the USA), I ask:
With no Danish People’s Party on the scene (say, if a Danish judge banned the party for racism in 2002), what % of births would be to Non-Europeans today?
In fact, the Arab and European or South Asian-European mixed people look very beautiful and rest of the combinations especially Black White isn't good looking at all IMO.

Sometimes I wish we were a Danish colony rather than a British one. The problem is that we still, to this day, look to the Brits for guidance on how to deal with these issues. And since they’re a bunch of cowardly, worthless chumps, who give away everything and demand nothing, we figure that’s the way to approach the Muslim issue. This whole sharing a language thing is getting real old, fast, because it means they can still exert significant soft power over the U.S. and Canada. Although Canada doesn’t seem to mind too much.

How about Greenland? Denmark owns Greenland. They could give them tents and those rations soldiers eat. Plenty of space.
There's a lead-zinc mining concession at Citronen Fjord, just about as far north as you can get in Greenland. They may as well earn their keep.
Nonsense. So what? What is to be gained by destroying them now? Africa depends entirely on aid and assistance from the West. If you bring down Whites, Africans will not survive. Blacks in White countries also very heavily depend on welfare paid for by the White taxpayers. The slaves from Africa were caught and sold by other Africans as part of tribal warfare. Those not sold would have been killed. The descendants of slaves in America would never have existed if their ancestors had not escaped Africa as slaves, and they live much better than any black people anywhere. Arabs took more than 10x the amount of slaves from Africa during the same time period, but there is no African descendants in those countries because the men were all castrated, and the women who became pregnant had their babies killed at birth. But nobody suggests that Arab countries all need to be destroyed as punishment.

I believe Greenland is still a ‘Danish possession’.
Far more space in Greenland, and more importantly, much further from Denmark.
Of course, under Danish law, there’s no oppression or arbitrary nastiness in Greenland. In short, it meets all the definitions of the perfect ‘asylum’ land under all legal/diplomatic conventions.
Come to think of it, Denmark should be generous and offer up Greenland to be the common asylum EU center.

-> The Western Elites do not interact with unskilled/illegals migrants in their daily lives. Even the few lower-skilled migrants they encouter – like waiters in hi-end restaurants- are orderly/disciplined.
-> They live in quarters where you only find the usual highly educated non-European migrants.
-> Their children attend schools/colleges, where diversity works, because everyone there comes from hi-class background.
-> Even older elites (50 years and older) attended schools with non-European elites. This is now nearly a century-old.
-> Elites, who do visit developing countries, move from fancy new airports to upscale hotels with all amneties. After that it’s straight into fancy business-centers in the capital. They might see poverty along the roads, but it’s not that crushing poverty in the provinces/rural/remote regions.
TLDR: Do not expect the elites to change their perception, they don’t know jack.
-> The key for Western nationalists is the highly competent upper-mid-rank elite. Like the police-chief of a major city, the former manager of a MNC in a developing country. These people are not completely isolated from diversity, while at the same time they are needed to keep things running.
e.g. These upper-mid-rank officials in the Communist China/Russia/Vietnam knew how good life is in the West, how far the West was ahead. Without their support people like Gorbatschow/Deng Xiaopeng/Van Linh couldn’t have pushed through their reform-agenda.

I believe Leftists are evolved to form coalitions, as part of a reproductive strategy to gain resources, but modern technology (for instance: cheap flights) means they form coalitions with people who are a net drain on those resources. And, besides, it is much easier to transfer wealth in the modern world than two or three hundred years ago, so there are less checks and balances on their behavior, such as famine or bad harvests.

'Third generation migrants' will not be an issue with people born circa 1984 (this age cohort).

That is the difference between Sweden and Denmark. For geographic and historical reasons, the Swedes have no fear of invasion, and so feel free to engage in risky social engineering projects that will probably weaken and divide their country. (The same is true of Britain and the U.S.) The Danes have long experience of being invaded and so are far more cautious about these things.

Then, when you first implement their proposals, you first get a lot of praise. Eventually, things turn to hell, because progressives have no idea about human nature and a tendency to side with bad behavior/bad people. Now that the negative results of progressive policies are obvious in your csse, you cede to be a role model and a new shining example has to be found. For instance Sweden was held up as a shining example by progressives for decades. Now that their refugee policy has made them the rape capital of the western world, Denmark is the new example.

Sweden doesn’t seem like “a normal country.” It seems like an extreme or polar case on a number of dimensions. Sweden often tries to be seen as the most X country of whatever X is. Compared to Sweden, Denmark is seen as less extreme, more normal. It also helps that nobody in America knows much about the history of Denmark other than a few colorful figures like Queen Christina, Hans Christian Andersen, Kierkegaard, and Bohr. So it’s easy for us ignorant Americans to assume it must have had a “normal” history.
Probably the second most normal country in this regard is Netherlands, but its history is better known to Americans. Belgium is too divided and too artificial in origin. Norway is too on the fringe and has too much scenery. Switzerland is like a more successful Belgium at being multicultural. Austria is stuck with Hitler. Ireland’s history is too famous.The Czech Republic would probably rank high in normality, if not for its Communist era. Finland is too fringe. Slovenia is a pretty normal country for one that was sort of behind the Iron Curtain. I think Charles “True Grit” Portis wrote a portrait of Slovenia in the 1980s as the most European place an American can come across.
So, top contenders for normal countries:

Someone here commented that Fukuyama was right–30 years ago. What he couldn’t have predicted was that–having destroyed the USSR–Western elites would begin to attack and destroy their own societies. This madness was out of the blue. “The West circa 1990” is still a good model for the rest of the world to emulate.
The alternatives are liberalism or Islam. I don't see any others.Replies: @Ibound1, @Ibound1, @Charles Erwin Wilson
Islam is not a philosophy. It is a belief system and one which requires you to believe a 7th Century Arabian warlord establishes the rules for living – forever. You can always convert to Islam. I prefer not to.
I'm thinking maybe Kodiak Island. That way, there would always be plenty of room for subsequent waves of inva- uh, I mean, caravans of refugees.Replies: @stillCARealist, @Charles Erwin Wilson, @(((Owen)))
Kodiak Island? Polar bears need a new food source now that our ice sheets are being melted by mass immigration and its side effect of global warming.

Limp-wristed, liberal, social gospel Christianity is dying, but genuine Christianity not only lives, but is ascendant. The values you cite are not the values of Western Civilization, they are the values of Marxism, and its bastard child postmodernism.
Devotees of liberalism do not have children. Islamists do, but when the adherents to Islam come to the West, the become as corrupt as any liberal. They too face declining birth rates. Islam is dying, just like liberalism.
The interesting question is how much damage the death throes of both will inflict on the the rest of us. My assessment right now is the damage will be great.

Steve, is it really possible that Americans have not heard of Tycho Brahe? The last of the naked eye astronomers, He was Keplers boss, had an artificial nose made of brass or gold, was exhumed twice, may have beaten Newton to calculus by a century, and his pet elk died falling down the stairs drunk.

Wait till you see a picture of the man.

It’s likely that Shakespeare was going through a Tycho Brahe phase when he wrote “Hamlet.” For example, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are names of ancestors on Tycho’s coat of arms.
“I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams.”
When Tom Stoppard directed his movie version of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, with Gary Oldman and Tim Roth, he was going through his Science phase and made the castle in Elsinore look like Tycho’s observatory.
