this is the type of comment i want to leave any time someone praises a scandinavian country for almost anything.
the image of the nordics most people outside of them have is from 40 years ago.
I feel that the question about citizenship is mutual. Either that, or perhaps it's a question of comptence and ideality.
Im not sure about the property part, as the state appears to want to claim private land (in a rather indirect way through heightened taxes and reclassifications of property, such as making a 10 hectare farm into a "villa with garden") with the excuse to use it for natural area, though it's any body's guess to what will actually happen.
I do agree on public transport, as it is anything but functional in its current state. The windmills are nice, but we can't actually properly use those we've built so far and the politicians don't seem to want to fix the problem, instead choosing to just build more. And yes, our politics are just a sad joke, both the right and left wings.
Though, I do disagree about the violence part. I'd love for every single politician to get kicked out of Christiansborg and replaced by people who hopefully don't lie out of both ends, but if done using violence (and especially if done without the backing of the citizen, such as by a group who have made it their life goal to be hated by as many people as possible), then I cannot imagine it ending in anything but disaster.
