I follow all kinds of accounts, but it doesn't mean I agree with all of them.....

@WasKahane @RockChartrand @ThatEricAlper I don’t believe that you are waiting 5 years on a life saving procedure anywhere in DK. You must be very unique and it does not represent our healthcare system.

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@DG_genx @ThatEricAlper Not correct in Denmark, if your wait time is too long, you then have the right to be transferred to a privat hospital and get the procedure done faster. You get to chose if you want to take that option.

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@WasKahane @RockChartrand @ThatEricAlper Which procedure?

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@JAL1988196662 @ThatEricAlper As a Dane, I can tell you that you are very wrong. We have very good healthcare and no we do not have long waiting times. But keep telling yourself that the money is better used in insurance companies than on hospitals.

@Panache25012 @maddenifico Then if he has nothing to hide, release all of it - unredacted. What are we waiting for??

@KjellBjRonning @SusieJessen Nu er vi faktisk nogen der gerne vil bo udenfor de store byer.

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@KjellBjRonning @SusieJessen Og når så priserne på boliger stiger og der mangler lejeboliger, så klager de i byerne...... var det ikke lettere at fokusere på at få hele landet til at hænge sammen - også selvom man ikke kører med fulde busser alle steder?

As a Danish and European politician, I am not accustomed to deliberate public falsehood as a political method. But it is probably something we will have to get used to.

Take, for example, Jeff Landry’s blatant falsehood that Donald Trump was the first major politician to truly place Greenland on the world map.

If we confine ourselves to this century alone, Colin Powell was co-signatory of the Igaliku Agreement in 2004 while serving as Secretary of State. John Negroponte, then Deputy Secretary of State, represented the United States when the Ilulissat Declaration was signed in 2008. John Kerry visited Greenland in 2016 while serving as Secretary of State. And Antony Blinken visited the island in 2021.

Greenland was also visited by Angela Merkel in 2007, when the purpose was to study climate change.

And the island has continuously received visits from American politicians who genuinely take an interest in Arctic affairs. The foremost among them is undoubtedly Lisa Murkowski.

So Greenland has long been on the world map - partly because of climate change, and partly because of the question of Arctic security. And Greenland has continuously been integrated into Arctic cooperation, not least as a consequence of the Igaliku Agreement.

There was a time when I read a great deal of Jürgen Habermas and believed that the norm of truth was an unbreakable norm among civilized people. I believed that, as Habermas put it, the better argument exercised a kind of “forceless force.”

What we lack today is a new Habermas for the twenty-first century - someone capable of describing the performative role of the lie.

Because the reality is this: to someone who knows nothing about Greenland, Jeff Landry’s statements sound perfectly plausible. But they are simply a fabrication. A good story. Something designed to generate support without any ambition toward truth. Harry Frankfurt argued that this is the very essence of what he called “bullshit.”

We no longer merely disagree about values. Increasingly, we disagree about reality itself.

Jeff Landry is part of the post-truth culture that permeates American politics. But it is also something we in Europe will increasingly have to adapt to, simply because of the influence the United States possesses.

It is difficult to say where this post-truth strategy will lead the Western world. But I will be honest: I have reached an age where I preferred the world shaped by the ideals of the Enlightenment - by truth as a moral norm and obligation.

That world is gone. Perhaps permanently. I understand that. But I cannot pretend to admire the replacement.

@EvolvedPub @magyarpeterMP Oh the horror…. Going back to democracy -how dare they…..

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@RealityPolice1 @RasmusJarlov Please name some of these countries? I can’t Think of any.

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@TimHannan Could it be withon the same week?

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@Macnkc @Mollyploofkins So Trump can’t do anything with the Presidency, majority in Congress and majority in the Senate. Please explain to me what needs to change? Judges are making sure that things are actually legal - that does not make them activists.

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@RpsAgainstTrump Well if he uses his weight to pin you to the ground and uses his diaper fumes to gas you, then you might be knocked out.

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@minkonto Hvordan kan det nogensinde blive statens opgave at bestemme hvad vi skal spise - og især da ældre mennesker på plejehjem, som ikke har store muligheder for at vælge noget andet? Formynderi og bedrevidenhed.

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@BobSaca08005552 @RayneMan76 @ToriatheistTori Sure they do. Keep telling yourself that.

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@JesperNAnd @MadsStrange_ Åhh hvis bare S havde siddet ved magten i flere år, så kunne de have rettet det..... hov vent.......øhhhh

[Michelle Elgaard @MicaElgaard]

@PSMIDTDK Det mest tåbelige er da høre feks Pia Olsen Dyhr jamre over hvor meget de fattige har behov for den her engangs check og samtidig så benytter hun og venstrefløjen enhver chance til øge skatter og afgifter, så de fattige bliver ramt - igen. Men så kan de jo føle sig åh så gode....
