01 JUN The Threat Look at a European City on an Ordinary Afternoon in 2026 Look at a European city on an ordinary afternoon in 2026. It works. The trains run, the museums are open, the cafés fill up at lunch, and when evening comes, the old facades lie in a warm light that…

MAY 2026

31 MAY The Threat I Have Seen the Clip Now. I Have Seen Her Face. And I Will Not Pretend I have seen the clip now. I have seen her face. And I will not pretend I looked at it with cool eyes. Because I did not. Two women wanted a bath. That was all.
30 MAY The Person Radicalized by the West We throw the word radicalized around constantly now. It is what we say about people we have decided we are done with, and it almost always means something closed, someone who has turned away from us…
30 MAY The Person We Use the Word Radicalised All the Time Now We use the word radicalised all the time now. It's said and used about people we've decided we're done with, and it almost always means something closed, someone who has turned away from us and…
30 MAY The Subversion Welfare Is Not Care - It Is The Apparatus That Replaced It Welfare. It is the softest word we have. Almost motherly. A word no one can be against, and that is precisely why it is so useful to those who want something from it. For the word itself is…
29 MAY The Person The Apparatus That Replaces Being Needed Because it's Friday, it looks like sunshine, and the weekend is just around the corner... let me see if I can't manage to become enemies with even more of you. With a "little text" about why…
28 MAY The Subversion Tony Blair and the Permission to Notice TONY & THE NET ZERO LIE Things are moving fast these days. Here sits a man in an interview, saying calmly, almost reasonably, that we spend too much money on Net Zero, and that it's not the right…
27 MAY The Threat The Monster Wears a Hundred Veils Now You begin somewhere outside the centre. A post about European economics, a UN meeting, an article about refugee policy - where Israel is mentioned in a sentence, in parentheses, almost by chance. And…
26 MAY The Subversion Denmark's Climate Religion Works Because There Is No Outside 4 out of 5? Aaah... isn't that stretching it a bit? 4 out of 5 in a particular demographic.. In a specific confined place in the country. Let me guess. You asked in a single street out on Østerbro…
26 MAY The Subversion The Liberal Mind Cannot Function in the Light I see this pattern of 'concern' everywhere - and the compulsion to discredit AI before people learn what it can actually show them. After having used it extensively for several years in all domains…
26 MAY The Machine When the Infrastructure Can No Longer Hold What Cannot Be Said There is a pattern in the way many prominent voices are talking about AI right now, and it is not the pattern they believe they are showing. On the surface it is about jobs, about the economy, about…
26 MAY The Person When Antisemitism Calls Itself Criticism THE FOUR TESTS Criticism or Antisemitism? In recent years at universities in London, Paris, New York, and Copenhagen, students march with signs. They sing songs of liberation. They occupy lecture…
26 MAY The Subversion Free Palestine Meant Free Us From Them Translation of Rawan Osman's post - "Free Palestine." I grew up with those words. In LEBANON, most around me wanted a free Palestine for an entirely practical reason - to send the Palestinian…
25 MAY The Person We Swore We Would Fight It and Now We March With It "NEVER AGAIN!?" There is a thing boys do, when they sit close enough together and talk seriously enough about what actually weighs on them - and it is TO SWEAR.
25 MAY The Person The Hole in the Bagel Is Where Civilisation Used to Be Daniel calls it by its name - Jew-hatred. Not "anti-Zionism," not "criticism of Israel," not "structural analysis." Jew-hatred. The same hatred as in Poland 1941, Russia 1903, Germany 1938, only with…
21 MAY The Machine The Danish State Is Turning Its Citizens Into Suspects Peter Loft was permanent secretary in the Ministry of Taxation for nineteen years. He is not a man who speaks without having done the maths. He was probably born with a calculator. Not much else…
21 MAY The Subversion Sweden Drops Islamophobia Because Fear Can Be Rational SWEDEN has decided to drop the concept of Islamophobia. The reasoning is almost embarrassingly simple for every adult in the room - a phobia is by definition an irrational fear, and if you force all…
20 MAY The Quickening The Language Is Coming Back From Above A sitting American Vice President said yesterday what no Western European politician of equivalent weight has dared to say in decades. He said it from a podium inside the White House, without pauses,…
18 MAY The Threat The Niqab Is Not Neutral Cloth It Is a Flag Listen. If I insisted that Krisztina wear this every time she left the house, so as not to send sexual signals to other men, and you considered me anything other than batshit crazy, a candidate for a…
18 MAY The Subversion A Civilization That Can No Longer Say What a Woman Is There is something strange about a country that has reached the point where a court must decide what a woman is, and then gets it wrong. In AUSTRALIA, a federal court has just ruled that Sall Grover,…
17 MAY The Subversion The Word Extreme Does Not Measure What People Think You are not extreme. But someone needs you to think you are. ... I have experienced that moment myself. Meant something - something quite ordinary, something I had meant for years, something that…

16 MAY The Threat Reality Itself Refusing to Bend There's a particular feeling that has spread in recent years that most people sense, but few find the words for. It's the feeling that pressure is coming from two sides, and that it's always you who…
16 MAY The Threat Two movements that hate each other but share the same enemy There is a particular sensation that has spread in recent years, which most people feel, but few find words for. It is the sensation that the pressure comes from two sides, and that it is always…
15 MAY The Person Denmark's Moral Capital Didn't Come From Expanding the Vote Argh… damn it, I had decided to let it go. But I can't. I apologize. 😅🤷🏼‍♂️ You can have a fitness picture to both soften the text - and remind you - that life is NOW. It doesn't wait.

12 MAY The Subversion They Took the Dictionary and Made Reality Optional Modern definitions have turned meaningless. It might look harmless or like a minor thing - but it is not. Language is our portal and access to reality.
11 MAY The Subversion We Parked the Question of Man and Called It Progress The previous post ended with the question - Who are we? That question we in the West have had an answer to for the last 400 years. Our answer has been - "Let us refrain from answering it." Let me…
11 MAY The Subversion The West's Useless Answer - When Neutrality Becomes Its Own Order The previous post ended on the question - Who are we? That question - we in the West have had an answer to it for the last 400 years. Our answer has been - "Let us refrain from answering it." Let me…
10 MAY The Person A Man Becomes Human Through a Woman We never celebrated either Mother's Day or Father's Day in my childhood home. We were too "clever" to fall for those commercial holidays, where an industry has decided that you show your love with…
10 MAY The Threat With Law Shall the Land Be Built—But Whose Law Yesterday I ended up in front of Copenhagen City Court as we took part in a peaceful demonstration. The demonstration was for a free Iran. For Freedom. For Man. But there was something about the…
