pan-scandinavism was a pretty cool idea, too bad it died horribly
What we got does feel like something very fitting to the scandinavian spirit
peoples who usually express "You are my dearest friend, I love you and I would do anything for you" through a grunt as a beer is passed, the fact that we have no formal treaties or agreements of defense but it's still just taken as granted that one would go to war for the other
oh and speaking of that, skandinavere: one of my favourite bars have my favourite toilet stall graffiti: an graffiti argument about whether or not Skåne belongs to denmark
All citing references, footnotes found by the toilet paper
You go in the cage, cage goes in the water, you go in the water. Shark's in the water, our shark.
I'm now reading the Kalmar Union wiki page and I come across this line: "...the Treaty of Kalmar, signed in the Swedish castle of Kalmar on Sweden's south-east coast, which in medieval times was close to the Danish border..." and I'm like, that definitely needs a citation
lo and behold, right after: [citation needed]
god bless you, nameless wikipedia editors
well closeish. Skåne was danish in medieval times.
I was more amused by the conversational wording of "in medieval times"
you know, back then, in the before days
Skåne was under the Danish crown until the Roskilde Peace, 1658
so a bit more than Medieval times. I guess medieval just refers to when the treaty was signed though.
btw Abdhyius in norwegian news i recently read VIctoria
aside from finding the protagonist and Victoria both frustratingly dumb (in a very plausible ye olde days way, but still) I liked it
I remember loving Jan Kjærstads trilogy where Victoria plays an important role, which was a partial motivation for reading it, but it's been at least ten years since I read them (Forføreren, Erobreren and. . .something. Opdageren?) Who knows what I'd think of them now.
you see why we have problems just denouncing him although he was a fan of hitler?
i'm pretty sure it's possible to denounce the whole hitler thing while appreciating the beauty of his work
at least I didn't find any obvious fascism in the text
except of course the subtle fascism inherent in all naive heartfelt romanticism, *shakes fist at the 19th century*
nationalism gave us independence and democracy. But. Yeah if one writer would be a fan of hitler, it'd be him.
I mean like denounce denounce. Immediately post-war style. We brought back the death penalty to execute collaborationists. That we didn't just denounce hamsun as a trash man traitor was solely because of how fond we were of our great authors.
We solved it by deciding that he had gone insane in his later years.
remember the dutch resistance guy, in band of brothers, when the american soldiers are silently shocked at the sight of women being forcibly shaved, going "She's lucky! The men who collaborated are being shot."?
that kind of thing.

iirc the big blow to pan-scandinavism was when Norway and Sweden failed to help Denmark at all against Germany's 1864 invasion
tbf Danish politicians had been a bunch of bumbling jingoistic idiots about the whole thing as I understand it, and who the hell volunteers to fight the Prussian army?
And the corporation continues to consolidate. And nobody minds.
AT&T has reached a deal to buy Time Warner for more than $80 billion in what would become a colossal corporate merger, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.
In what some analysts are calling an unprecedented “seismic shift” for the media and technology world, the deal could turn the legacy telecom carrier into a media titan the likes of which America has rarely seen.
A combination between the two companies could rival some of the biggest mergers in history, with AT&T potentially gaining control over hugely valuable brands spanning television, film, sports, news, video games and mobile and residential Internet service.

that kind of thing.
without having any citations or research to back it up, I feel like a bunch of the people driving that sort of thing might have been the ones who felt bad about not joining or helping the resistance during the actual occupation
though I'm sure at least some of the freedom fighter veterans were assholes about it too
It is cold and rainy today (and will be all week) and I am really enjoying it at the moment, but as with 48 hours in Vegas or a dinner with a bad date, I would like for it to just go back to summer already

not being active resistance and actively helping the occupiers aren't the same though
I mean it's not like I think it's a good thing to do
but it is very understandable that there was wrath
While I wouldn't exactly condone the behavior, remember that in northern NL especially people outright starved in 1944-1945, that breeds a special kind of resentment.
And yeah of course about 10x more people claimed to be in the resistance than there actually were.
The corporate SF dystopia can't get here quickly enough. Only then will I be able to live out my cyberpunk fantasies and use naff slang like "download this" or "get de-rezzed, corp-sec".

I mean it's not like I think it's a good thing to do

for sure, but I think someone who was not personally harmed in the occupation being an enthusiastic participant in an angry mob afterwards is gross
especially when directed at the 'German girls', who did nothing more than date german soldiers - just a big ball of slutshaming, xenophobia, cowardice. probably other bads as well
and even for someone who was actively fighting or otherwise suffered at the hands of germans and even more so their local allies, there's just a huge difference between mob justice and, well, justice

Operation Bøllebank (English: Operation Hooligan Bashing[1]) was the first combat operation conducted by Danish Armed Forces since World War II. In April 1994, a Danish contingent with elements of the Jydske Dragonregiment on peacekeeping duty in Bosnia, as part of UNPROFORs Nordic battalion (Nordbat 2) located in Tuzla, was ambushed, when trying to relieve a Swedish and Norwegian observation post, Tango 2, that was under heavy artillery fire by the Bosnian Serb Šekovići brigade at the village of Kalesija, but the ambush was dispersed when the UN forces retaliated with heavy fire.

I personally prefer either the American school of over the top names, eg. Freedom Dragon, Skullfuck Eagle etc. or the sinister blandness of corporate and/or German names like Fall Gelb, Fall Rot etc.

apparently the death penalty was part of military law right up to 93, which surprises me
also, it's not prohibited on a constitutional level so if the situation in parliament got sufficiently fucked it could be brought back I suppose
