Denmark as welfare society under settlement
Never in my lifetime has to many people protested against one single action from our elite-focused government.
The cancellation of Prayers day is the first step after many years where they increased the retirement age over 2 decades so most Danes never have a chance of seeing the retirement age. In parts of Copenhagen the housed by members of the working class the average living age is about 59 years. Such people will never stand a chance to benefit from a long life of hard labor.
But one thing is to remove the light of the end of the tunnel but another thing is to remove the small breaks in every day life which make life worth living.
And the national holidays is everything life as a Dane is about right now. As a Dane you are born into a role. You might be born as a royal, into an academically family or just into the working class. You become what you parents were. That is normal a way to live a life in harmony, never to aspire to anything but working hard for a week and then drink with your friends on the weekends and national holidays. That is what we call hygge.
And this is what the Danish government wants to remove. All hope, all enjoyment and basically everything which is happiness in life.
So it is with a lot of certainty, I now can write that our welfare society is nearing its end and Denmark will become the most toughest place to live where the population will face the most severe challenges in life.
This is just a very sad day today
