    You’re making some strong claims, while using an even stronger language:

    • The “race to the button” has begun because of corrupt politicians and “Capitalists”, who sold out the Norwegian people for some “fat paychecks”.

    • Germany “dismantled” their electric infrastructure, because of “boomers”, that are afraid of “hot metal in a pool”, generally everyone who is against nuclear is “just afraid of what they don’t understand”.

    • Oil companies invest in wind energy, to keep people relying on oil in the future.

    • The EU wants to fish Norway dry.

    I already said my part about nuclear energy.

    That wind energy is an oil company conspiracy to keep people hooked on oil and not a diversification of their portfolio, similar to what Saudi Arabia is doing, I’m not going into much either.

    Norway, the EU and GB came to an agreement, that also benefits Norway, some quotes:

    This traditional deal between the two parties has been particularly demanding this year, as the quotas traditionally fished by Norwegian vessels are now located in the British zone, outside the territory of the European Union.

    Norwegian fishermen can now fish the opportunities Norway has acquired from Greenland, including shrimp, Greenland halibut, and redfish, and in the EU zone, such as roundnose grenadier.

    “It is gratifying that we have reached an agreement with the EU and the UK. This means that we have agreed on quotas for important stocks that we manage together in the North Sea. This is crucial for sustainable management,” concluded Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Cecilie Myrseth.

    Maybe if you dial your tone down a bit and add some sources to your claims, you could be taken more serious.

      You can live in this fantasy where Norway is without faults and a perfect Paradise as much as you want

      I don’t care.

      Anything happening in the UK and the US is happening in Norway. Just a little bit later. NPM is an unstoppable force at the moment.

      People are getting shafted by inflation right now, wages are stagnant and the rich are exporting their wealth to Swiss for tax evasion. Birth rates are down and gang violence is in the rise. The Police force are getting it’s back broken with reforms.

      Housing is soon unavailable for the upcoming generation without well funded parents.

      This Christmas the organizations providing gifts and food for the poor had record numbers of people queuing up.

      But hey. Look at this nice street in Stavanger.

      Living in Norway is nice. But the welfare state and stable foundation for a trustworthy political system is under huge stress. People should’t form their opinion of a country based of social media posts.

      You can browse the Norwegian subreddit if you want to know what’s moving behind the facade. Norway has good freedom of the press, so follow Norwegian news outlet as well. Even the state media covers scandals.
