The statue of the Little Mermaid in the entrance to Copenhagen harbour has been daubed with the words racist fish.
The 107-year-old statue has often been vandalised by protesters, ranging from pro-democracy activists to anti-whaling campaigners. As recently as January, Free Hong Kong was scrawled on the rock on which the 1.65-metre bronze sits.
Protesters have variously knocked the mermaid off her perch, beheaded her, lopped off an arm and poured paint over her. Copenhagen police said no one had claimed responsibility for the latest assault. We consider it vandalism and have started an investigation, a spokesman said.

One thing for sure: it’s not a satirical story about factual graffiti.

Id like to see the leftists try to deface the Merlion statue in Singapore. It would not go well for them, either before or after the ass caning.

Ridiculous. I saw that statue in the 70’s on school trip to Europe.

Newt Gingrich once pointed out that a successful society requires either a strong common culture or a strong central government. Singapore is multi-racial and multi-cultural, and thrives in the only way such a state can - through strict law enforcement and an un-opposable political system.
If the Left ever gains power, they will turn the USA into a police state - because to survive, they will have to.

The story might not be satire, but the graffiti almost certainly was, with the intent of pointing out “everything that exists is now racist”.

i have heard that Denmark is not given to the sort of cultural browbeating so many other countries have been performing.

I have seen Copenhagen’s Little Mermaid and remember it as being green. I checked on images and have confirmed my memory. So, being green is racist? Green fish supremacy? Being able to swim like a fish does merit some recognition that Copenhagen’s pot heads can never have.

Once the Left disposes the local police it will bring about a Federal police force known as the Posse Comitatus by repealing the Posse Comitatus Act. By employing soldiers to enforce the law, it would end the people’s protections by the Constitution.

It’s not easy being green.

Sorry, my post about the the posse comitatus was related to another thread.

If she’s a mermaid, shouldn’t she be hailed as a trans icon?
