You came through Kelly! And quite quickly too. 👏

A lot of emotions bubble up after reading this. On one side, I’m inspired to read more about Danish history and feel enriched by what you’ve shared, particularly from a historical context.

At the same time, I found myself missing the agency bit. What do you propose we as ‘nye danske borgere’ do to address some of the perfectly human emotions, like the anxieties and fears that change can trigger?

Maybe it was intended as both historical context and a vent/katharsis piece, but I was left wanting more on that front. It’s a tricky piece.

Thanks for sharing.

Ahhh, that's another project I'm in actually. I should schedule a post talking about it. I'm in an NGO that's set up to support Denmark live up to its values. That's how we avoid despair, constructive dialogue
