I just feel it gets very complicated very very fast. If our military is ordered (by our fairly elected goverment) to attack another country without a reason acceptable to international law, it might be legal here, but illegal in the country being attacked. It might be perfectly reasonably, but that doesn’t matter, it is literally political violence, both illegal and legal at the same time. Being against political violence or violent political official acts gets messy faster than you can yell “Saddam had WMDs”. I don’t know if I am trying to make a point, but I think it is hard to condemn political violence per se, without having a long hard look in the mirror.

If politicians decides politically to use the military for violence against anyone or anything, is that political violence? And if yes, does that means there is legal political violence?

Yes, scandinavian imperialism has its own disgusting flavour of racism. One might call it an aquired taste. Denmark is by far the worst. But Sweden’s history, isn’t exactly nice either. Just to mention one: The hundred years war. And in modern times all the former oppressed are doing nasty stuff in the same image as their oppressors. Finland to Russia. Greenland doing dirty deals with the US and China. Widespread corruption on the Faroe Islands. Norways robbery of the northern tribes. Icelands neo-liberal adventures. And then we haven’t even started to cover, what the upper class is doing to their ethno-aligned working class in any of the nordic countries or their neo-colonialism. Interesting times.

Copenhagen Zoo and the famous Tivoli had racialized and enslaved people on display far into the 20th century. That map is pretty useless.

Orcas rely on the salt in the water to keep their skin healthy. If they stay too long even fresh water they will succumb to infections. Other types of dolphins seems to be able to adjust a little better to shifting amounts of salt in the water. I have no clue about the larger whales but I suspect they have problems with fresh water because they wont float as easy in it.
