Danes are very proud of Denmark. It's a tiny country. There's a sense that we need to protect this tiny state from criticism because it's taken care of us. We've given the world Lego, Hans Christian Andersen, and we rank in the top two happiest countries in the world according to terrible measurements.

So now we're the baddies, what do we do? We don't mention it. Ignorance is bliss.

Okay, but what justification do they provide for such behavior?

Various: rejection due to irrelevance and not provoking substantive debate.
