Tom Jensen wrote in a leader in Berlingske that the two Muslim participants in last week's episode of the TV 2 program 'Højskolen' had invoked Danish values such as tolerance and inclusiveness to defend views he believed were far from those values. He raised questions about the limits of tolerance in Western democracies and referred to philosopher Karl Popper's argument that open societies must be able to protect themselves against intolerance. Jensen described a growing hatred of the West, which he linked to fundamentalist and dictatorial regimes, as well as people, often from MENAPT countries, who had obtained residency in the West. He wrote that some of them were increasingly allying with a left wing that accepted extreme views when they were expressed by minority representatives. He associated Hamas-apologetic pro-Palestinian demonstrations with parts of the recent unrest in France, growing antisemitism, and opposition to Iran's influence in the Middle East. He also connected the debate to Pia Kjærsgaard's showing of TikTok images of Afrah al-Jabouri in 'Højskolen'. Jensen wrote that free citizens had the right not to tolerate intolerance and warned that the foundation of society could otherwise crack. He concluded by stating that one must tolerate the bad atmosphere. https://t.co/M4FFmI3JqU #Tolerance #Demokrati #Ytringsfrihed (translated)

- National highly specialized care is based on the regions taking joint responsibility for patients across the entire country. For the Västra Götaland region, these conditions represent both a great trust and a clear responsibility. We will contribute our expertise where it is most beneficial, while also depending on the expertise of other regions in different areas. That is how we together build a strong and equitable health and medical care system in Sweden, says Jonas Claesson, Director of Health and Medical Care in VGR. #högtspecialiseradvård #Sahlgrenska #VästraGötaland (translated)

Alex Vanopslagh wrote that he was happy to see Rasmus, a 20-year-old from Holstebro, who according to Vanopslagh had built a window-cleaning business with 17 employees, four departments, and 4,000 customers. Rasmus worked up to 70 hours a week, but Vanopslagh emphasized that he enjoyed building his own business and setting goals and determining on his own. Vanopslagh described him as hardworking and responsible and wrote that Rasmus was so invested in his employees' well-being that he paid them better than himself. He hoped that more people would start businesses and create jobs, and said that he would continue to work for less bureaucracy and lower corporate taxes in Denmark. #iværksætteri #entreprenør #arbejdspladser (translated)

Aja baja wondered if someone in Sweden had not understood what the post was referring to and claimed that Swedes' everyday life was about avoiding a group that they described derogatorily.

Johan Romin wrote that Swedish journalists had long struggled to understand the situation in Gaza. He claimed that Hamas was driving the recurring wars and many casualties, describing the movement's goal as the annihilation of Israel and the expulsion or killing of the country's Jews. According to Romin, Hamas representatives had said this in interviews, and the movement's actions did not contradict their stated goals. Romin wrote that Hamas had been building tunnels for decades with funding from the Western world, while TV crews did not understand what the work was about. He recounted that he had filmed in Hamas tunnels without then understanding their purpose. In 2015, he claimed to have filmed an ongoing tunnel construction at a street corner in northern Gaza and was arrested and interrogated by Hamas. He also wrote that Hamas had worked to foster a new generation of terrorists and suicide bombers. As an example, he mentioned a studio at the al-Aqsa television channel, where, according to him, there was a Quran on the table and a picture of Goofy alongside a child about to sacrifice himself for the al-Aqsa mosque. #Gaza #Hamas #Israel (translated)

Magnus Barsøe wrote that Denmark should establish an investment fund inspired by Norway together with Mayor Michael Vindfeldt. They presented the proposal in Berlingske and called the fund "Denmark's Generational Fund." Barsøe compared Norway's sovereign fund, which he claimed had nearly 22 trillion Norwegian kroner, with Denmark's economy. He wrote that the treasury had an overall surplus of nearly 500 billion kroner from 2021 to 2025, and argued that the money should be invested instead of being used for political priorities. The proposal included a starting capital of between 100 and 150 billion kroner from the state's account in the National Bank, as well as annual state contributions of ten billion kroner for ten years. According to Barsøe, the investments should be widely spread across foreign stocks and managed independently of politicians. He also suggested a cap of two percent on the fund's annual payouts. If the fund started with 150 billion kroner, Barsøe claimed it could grow to about 500 billion kroner in 20 years and then send nearly ten billion kroner a year to welfare. He wrote that the fund should help pass on values to future generations and noted that Denmark's "oil" was labor. #Danmark #Økonomi #Investering (translated)

Glenn wrote that 90–95 percent of Swedes, according to him, believed that anyone who had cheated or provided incorrect information in an application should lose the grants or benefits that the information had granted access to. He stated that support for that principle was broad within the education system, the tax system, the benefits system, in job applications, and among insurance companies. At the same time, he felt that the requirement for truth seemed to weigh less in issues concerning residence permits and citizenship, and wondered why. Glenn wrote that the right to reside in the country and citizenship were among Sweden's most important laws, and questioned how it could be seen as a lesser problem if such decisions were based on lies. He argued that the debate placed disproportionately great importance on smaller issues compared to this. #Sverige #Medborgarskap #Rättvisa (translated)
