Tilbageløbere

Tilbageløbere is a Danish term that translates to "backward runners" or "rebounders." It generally refers to individuals or groups who are perceived as resisting or attempting to reverse social or political progress. The term is often used in a pejorative sense to criticize those who hold traditional views or who oppose changes that are seen as modern or progressive.

The concept of tilbageløbere can be applied to various contexts, including politics, culture, and social movements. For example, a political party advocating for stricter immigration policies or a group opposing LGBTQ+ rights might be labeled as tilbageløbere by their opponents. Similarly, individuals who resist new technologies or cultural trends might also be described as such.

The use of the term is subjective and depends heavily on the perspective of the speaker. What one person considers a necessary step forward, another might view as a harmful departure from established values, thus labeling the proponents of change as "tilbageløbere" in their own way. The term often implies a lack of foresight or an inability to adapt to changing circumstances. It is a way to dismiss or discredit opposing viewpoints by framing them as regressive and out of touch with the present or future.
