Political Correctness in Denmark

Denmark is glorifying a mass arsonist.

Here.

The article does not say if conditions improved even more after she had the infrastructure burned down.

As a generality, throwing off colonial power has been a very bad idea. The horrific results in the Third World need no mention.

That principle applies to the US. Lawyers decided to have a violent revolution in 1776.  Taxes had gone from 1% of GDP to 2% of GDP, but falling mostly on the wealthy landed gentry. These taxes were to fund the expensive military campaigns to protect these landed gentry from marauding Indian tribes seeking to exclude the British  illegal aliens. So thousands were killed an maimed. The British authority was expelled.

Had we remained a British colony, slavery would have ended in 1833, not 1863. Abolition would have been enforced by a Sheriff, and not by a war that killed 850,000. Race relations would not have required 100 more years to improve.

We would be more like Canada, a reasonable not an extremist people, ruled by a Parliament.

Our mistake is dwarfed by that of that other lawyer mistake, the independence of India, led by Mahatma Gandhi. That one caused the deaths of millions of people in mutual ethnic cleansing. It plunged two nations into deep poverty, and set off many later wars.
