The scandinavian countries are widely upheld as some of the best and most civilized countries in the world second only to japan and switzerland. Sure countries are complicated affairs and we can bicker for years about these kinds of opinions, but it's not some kind of weirdo niche to think denmark is a far above-average country.

But several not so pretty aspects were just pointed out in detail.

Perhaps they're just countries, with their own problems and benefits, just like everyone else.

Or, should I just continue to parrot a delusional fantasy of Scandinavian countries being the promised land, with no problems whatsoever?

He literally just said "Denmark is a great country", relax man..

Relax?

Yeah relax

They were. Currently I would avoid Sweden: https://www.gisreportsonline.com/r/sweden-immigrants-crisis/ Other European countries will follow. And yeah, I am against uncontrolled immigration. That’s probably the single way to destroy developed country very quickly.

What do you mean "uncontrolled"? Surely EU have border services, so almost all immigration is controlled.

I don’t want to open this can of worms. It is just not controlled.

You are spreading typical AfD misinformation

I am an immigrant, and not "white" depending on who you ask. I was easily able to travel between schengen countries without having my ID checked ( I am lawful EU citizen). So in answer to your question no, border controls are not tight. Depends on the day.

HAVING said that I also agree with you that EU borders ARE mostly controlled.

I only saying this because I dont like accusations being thrown around, as it inhibits public discourse the ability for poeople to learn vis discussion, EVEN if he sounds like a nutter.

I have some statistics for you: https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/235965/umfrag...

It’s time to talk about elephant in the room instead of screaming “you’re nazi!”

These are the future adults that pay your pension. Or do you have a more efficient idea on how to counter population decline?

The thing is that I have no new citizens around me in white collar positions. I don’t see them in production hall downstairs either. This is valid for my last 3 jobs. It’s dumb statistics. My friends and ex-colleagues see the same situation. I guarantee, these future adults will have no positive impact for my pension. They will only consume the exorbitant high taxes I pay in Germany right now. And I may work until 75…

So no more refugees please, qualified foreigners welcome. But there is only one problem - these 5 million fresh refugees made Germany super unattractive for qualified foreigners. Now you can call me a nazi.
