I get where you’re coming from, but the real problem isn’t just the media siding with the government—it’s that the vast majority of Danes don’t even grasp the long-term consequences of this internal erosion. That’s what’s truly frightening.Just forget about it. The media will always side with the government.
Even the business-friendly media will at best write something like "The current rules are not very business-friendly. We have to attract and keep the smartest people, so when there is uncertainty, this is bad for business and bad for our welfare state!"
There are plenty of cases where even UHNWI business people were screwed over by the tax authority - and I'm sure they had good lawyers. But the average person doesn't care about this.
Look at the other Nordics, and you can’t ignore the fact that Denmark has produced some of the biggest and most innovative companies in the region. But that kind of success doesn’t happen in a country that slides further into bureaucratic authoritarianism.
If there’s even the slimmest chance of reversing this trend, it won’t happen by waiting for politicians or media to suddenly grow a conscience. The only way forward is through education and resisting every step of the way.
If we’re going down, we might as well go down fighting.
