    Remember when a Danish news site ran a segment where they let a bunch of Nazis explicitly advocate for killing Jews? And then when the government tried to take legal action against the channel for conselling and abetting literal murder based on race, the actual European Court of Justice’s human rights council overruled it and declared that the government doing so against the channel was against and freedom of the press and freedom of expression?

    Yeah, European values amirite?

    How is this news? Who has claimed that there is no racism in Europe? Europeans have literally invented modern racism.

      There are swaths of people out there praising the “Nordic model”, even claiming that it’s the best socialist mode ever. Not to mention Europeans in places like reddit, who pretend racism is what Yankees do

        These people have not lived in a Nordic country. The Nordics provide ok welfare states for their citizens, but otherwise they are just regular capitalist societies. And that racism is what “others” do is a well-known defense of racists everywhere.
