I am not trying to justify any generation. Unfortunately human selfish interests rule in pragmatism, and the desire of righteous egoism and the over whelming emotional desire for a sense of belonging, and the comfort of well being, which traditional dependency offers.

I'm 18, and it seems to me that there is a wide diversity in political views of people my age. But they seem to be more liberal or libertarian than conservative on the whole. Of the few dozen people my age whose political views I know or can guess, maybe five are Trump supporters. Another handful are conservative but not pro-Trump. The other 75% aren't traditionally conservative. Some of the people I know are in Chapel Hill, NC, which definitely leans liberal, but others are in Norman, OK, which is more moderate. But I'm on the Millenial/Generation Z border, depending on the cutoff you use. Obviously that's not a representative sample, but I figure I have a bit of insider info, being a young person myself.

Groypers rising.

In Denmark there's been a very mild trend towards more fiscally conservative parties over the past two decades.

Red here represents leftists, blue represents right-wing parties.

Though the kind of ethno-nationalists that demi seems to be cheering for don't have much power, which here would be Danish People's Party, lost hugely in the last couple of years.

What is the point of this post?

Is Denmark an exception? You know the answer, which is yes, as explicitly nationalist parties are gaining across most of Europe.

Why is Denmark an exception? Again, you know the answer, the mainstream parties have made the smart decision of supporting nationalist policies, resulting in no need for explicitly nationalist outsider parties.

In summary, explicitly nationalist parties haven't gained in Denmark because the country as a whole has become more nationalist anyway.

I'm confused after that one time you said what is left and right in Denmark is opposite the left and right here. Do those colors match what we consider left wing, or what you do?

I'm confused why he posted about Denmark here. It's completely off-topic, start your own thread about how 'my country is so very special', thanks.

Red color is left-wing.

Blue color is right-wing.

And yeah the biggest right-wing party in Denmark is called "Venstre" (which translates to "Left").

Because you talked about how you saw the current generation as being more conservative, and I decided to look into the archives for Denmark, and found that indeed over the long term there's been a general shift towards right-wing parties in my country.

I also noticed you seemed focus on ethno-nationalism, so I checked how Danish People's Party were doing in Denmark, and they'd lost a lot of mandates.

So Denmark gets the names and colors backwards. You sure you're talking about Denmark, and not Australia? Nah, they are just upside down. No wait, I just figured it out! You are in a Denmark from another dimension.

We're not upside down, we're more like to the side.

This conversation is making me think of a time when my mom said "my right, or your right", the problem was we were facing the same direction.
