Controversial road signs showing the direction and distance to Syria and Iraq were set up in a Danish municipality with the most asylum seekers in the country. They did not last long, though, as while some claimed it was a "fine initiative", others branded it "racist."
Unknown people planted the controversial signs 'Syrien 4426' and 'Irak 5317' with arrows pointing to the direction to the two destinations and indicating the distance in kilometers, on Friday, local media reported. The signs were set up in the municipality of Thisted, Northern Denmark, which houses six refugee centers.Although the signs did not "survive" for long as they were taken down by volunteers, they managed to spark a heated debate between their supporters and opponents.
The signs did not go unnoticed by the nationalist Danes' Party (Danskernes Parti), Thisted's deputy mayor and a number of activists. While some of them praised the move and others chastised it, most of them agreed that the incident has prompted a lively debate.
"Fine initiative to create a debate", wrote Thisted's deputy mayor Ib Poulsen on his Facebook page as reported by Ekstra Bladet.
Comment: This is another indication that the U.S. is now living under a pathocratic system; where at the very top of all or most governmental institutions the pathological mindset has taken the reins of power and everyone else is under its sway in one way or another. And heaven forbid one should try to correct or point out the error of its ways. You're either 'with it or against it'.
