We all hope that is the case, but Liberals keep coming up with new and exiciting ways to deny reality. See for instance also the Finnish campaign to paint themselves as the winners of the Winter War and the deliberate exclusion of anything regarding the Continuation war.
I’ve sort of come around on the Danish Defense Academy. They seem to be one of the single most effective anti-imperialist organizations in the country, which is a good thing considering that even the Red-Greens have bend the knee to NATO, and now opposition to NATO is basically only a position held by very old social democrats, non of whom seem to have noticed the party all but kicking them out.
Think I started with Switzerland, because I saw Gold and Watches and figured what the hell. Then guessed Malaysia, and Taiwan, before trying Macau and finally getting it right. Felt fucking cheated. Though I have been playing this game for like 2 years at this point, so I have seen a lot of weird not-a-real-country’s come up.

Not a real country alert. Also I fucked up by forgetting that Tradle counts these things as independent, and also by forgetting that strictly speaking you don’t need to have a ressource within your own borders in order to export it.
I mean, it’s not likely that these mobilizations are going to be very effective, so it kinda feels like a repeat of their climate plan.
Denmark is currently having a culture war moment with a Square within the city, which by popular demand was to be named “Palestine Square”. Obviously the useless city government was against it for a while, with members of the county council going out and arguing that names for places in the city shouldn’t be used to make political statements.

Lotta oil + Cocoa beans meant it was fairly easy.
The problem is more for the rest of the world that the United States never stopped holding it hostage. So while the empire is behaving like a lunatic and destroying everything, the design of the empire also isolates it from the worst of their own behaviour and ensures that it takes most of the world with it, should things actually turn ugly.
LMAO, the Danish center-right party “The Moderates” has officially begun purging their employees. Wonderful shit coming out of Denmark and our deeply serious Scandinavian Democracytm. As has been described by SoyViking, the party is more or less just a cult of personality around our current foreign minister and former prime minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, who is famous for trying to turn his previous party into a slush fund for his personal expenses.
Rasmussen is also famous for appointing the queen of the far right Inger Støjberg to the post as Minister for Foreigners and Integration, which the danes on here rightfully refer to as the Racism Ministry, which put her in charge of our refugee policy, culminating in first Denmarks “Jewelry Law” which let the state confiscate jewelry from brown people who sought asylum here (said law was waived when the Ukrainians came, because obviously the law doesn’t actually apply to whites) and also the unconstitutional family separation policy, which ended up getting her impeached and kicked out of parliament back in 2023.

Thought this was a caribbean country first, then guessed Cyprus and then used a geoclue to guess the other small island nation in the mediterranean
I feel like we say that about Elon Musk about once every 2 weeks, and somehow he keeps getting worse.
I literally forgot that the country existed and somehow got it into my head that Columbia and Bolivia and Ecuador were all that existed on that part of the continent. Hence my guesses being so close to the right answer.

Compeltely forgot that the answer country existed, and tried to not use a map for this one. Apparently I’m not nearly as smart
This one stumped me for a while, for no other reason than me being stupid and forgetting how Central Asia looks. Litterally couldn’t think of an industrialized country in Central Asia with plenty of oil and wheat. Then I had an epiphani while on the toilet and remembered that I had somehow forgetten about the biggest country in the region, that famously has a shitload of oil and space for growing food.
Specifically he told then Prime Minister Begin that it looked like a holocaust, which offended Begin as he had spent time in a concentration camp as a child during WWII. However the Israeli campaigns stopped something like an hour after the call, so clearly it worked.
Also supposedly Biden was extremely unhappy about the President telling Israel to stop, so Biden has literally never been good on that issue, ever.
Which is so fucking odd, because those people have been democrats since 2017 and gleefully told everyone about their “conversions” every chance they’ve had.
I remember feeling kind of bad hearing that a guy died from Trumps first assasination attempt and then someone found the guys twitter and obviously the guy was a massive nazi, so my sympathy just vanished immediately. Not sure why i expected the guy to be normal, but somehow I did.
Or just fucking use your own credit card like a grown up. Such a weird thing to lose an entire parliamentary career over, especially because he was one of the SocDems who seemed perfectly happy just being a toadie to the PM.
Edit: LMAO, he got convicted in 30 minutes. Admitted to the whole thing and just started talking about being “vewwy sowwy”
Depends on the topic. For instance, i prefer physically reading books I borrow from the library for anything about economics or theory, because i feel like I can better focus on the physical text. Meanwhile the 900 page massive history book (about the Spanish Civil War) that I was recommended on GenZedong 4 years ago was not even available in my country and so I had to find it as an Ebook.
Danish millitary officers are every bit as imperialist as the rest of NATO, just a lot worse at their job. And the Danish Defense Academy is anti-imperialist sort in the same way that the F-35 is, i.e. it’s too bad at the job of being a tool for imperialism to be of any actual threat.
