Racism against children must be one of these "western values" I've been hearing so much about.

Fascist terrorists are rounding up "undesirables" and your immediate reaction is to get mad at the victims for not doing the proper paperwork?

Self-defence doesn't count as murder.

There are countless of well-documented examples of the American empire sponsoring terrorist attacks, sabotage and assassinations against Cuba. To this day the American empire upholds an illegal an unprovoked blockade of the island as well as occupying the land on which the Guantanamo naval base and torture black site is placed.

Before the revolution, America ran Cuba as a colony, leeching off the hard work of Cubans. If anything, the history of American relations with Cuba has been one of profound violence.

But okay, most of the times they made sure to put in a middle-man to do the actual dirty work which absolves them of all sin I guess.

Given the substantial losses of men and equipment and the meagre gains I do think it is safe to assume that the counteroffensive does not go as well as Kiev has hoped for.

Just what we needed, another pointless carbon-guzzling ride to amuse the undeserving rich.

In my experience every tech job takes place in a former industrial building that has been converted to office space by real estate speculants.

Apparently you need to see exposed brick to code effectively.

Those were not vacation days, just days where they could till their own fields instead of their lord's. For most people life then was full of backbreaking labour, illiteracy, disease and the constant looming threat of starvation. There is no need to romanticise feudalism.

Møgsvin (filth-pig), used as an insult similar to "asshole" or for someone who is literally filthy or messy.

Ikke den hurtigste knallert på havnen (not the fastest moped on the docks), used to describe someone who is stupid.

Pis mig i øret (piss in my ear), similar meaning as "fuck off".

Svagpisser (weak-pisser), for someone who is squeamish.

Pikhud på fingrene (cock-skin on your fingers), for someone who is squeamish about manual labour or about touching hot objects.

Skidespræller (shitkicker), someone who is annoying and unserious.

Bonderøv (peasant-ass), someone who comes off as rural or in a more broader sense someone who is uncool or uncultured.

Klaphat (clap hat), synonyms with idiot. Refers to a type of hat worn by football fans in the 1980's featuring a pair of stuffed hands that will clap together when the weather pulls a string.

Et moderne reboot af Olsenbanden ville have en masse materiale at arbejde med. Det moderne erhvervslivs opblæste disruption-hype og finansielle fiksfakserier vil sagtens kunne skabe en ny version af Hallandsen. Den moderne Jensen vil passe perfekt ind i new public management. Og så vil der kunne være meget sjov i at lade de moderne Kjeld og Yvonne have mellemøstlig baggrund. De skal i hvert fald ikke bo i Valby længere, for det er blevet for dyrt. Måske skal den røde kuffert indeholde en harddisk med bitcoins?

A different version of the same rant can be translated to:

It's the same thing every time! You have a plan, a brilliant plan! And then your surrounded by dogheads and deadbeats, lousy amateurs, miserable hacks, ridiculous shitkickers. Incompetent assholes, impotent mush peasants and social democrats!

Another great quote is made by Jensen, the burnt-out detective tasked with catching Egon and his gang. His younger and more naive colleague remarks that "crime doesn't pay" which prompts Jensen to give the following answer:

Oh God! My dear, dear young friend, you are terribly mistaken. Believe me, I've been on the force for more than 25 years, and I know what I'm talking about. Duty carries its own reward, but it's modest. Integrity is beautiful, but meager. Justice is proud, but one-eyed. Love is sweet, but costly. Friendship and camaraderie, those are good to look back on in your old age. But the only thing that pays, that's crime!

Jensen makes a lot of glasses-off remarks such as "when the really big criminals arrives the only thing the police can do is to offer them protection".
