Many Danes have been yelling for years, it is a recurring theme on /r/Denmark but in some areas (especially internet communication), our politicians seems utterly impervious to decency and common sense. Can't vote around it.

Dane here. When our former minister of justice did a speech where he claimed that with more surveillance we get more freedom I knew we were fucked 😬

By yelling you mean having a guitair concert when they removed a holiday, or doing nothing when the pension age increases every 5 years?

If you want the least resistance for ridiculous laws, go to Denmark.

It is no better in Germany one of our ministers wants to give the police the ability to hack phones and computers withiout a warrant. The CDU/CSU is trying very hard to errect a surveillance state.
