  • Wealth inequality is high-ish in norway, with a lot of the country being owned by less than 10% of the population. It’s also a petro-state, making a real green transition for the whole world harder.

    It has a low population, making it easy to have these services with the amount of wealth the country produce by being a petro-state.

    It relies on immigration for it’s population replacement which will likely cause the kind of crisis we see in other so called developed countries.

    I think Norway is in a petro-dollat fuelled bubble, and when it will burst, which is innevitable, will see a decline in its standard of living like in other so called developed countries as it did not invest in itself fully.

    I hope i’m wrong but most petro-state happens to follow fhe same pattern actually.



  • I really wonder how it would work in a country that big in empty spaces and populations with so much authoritarian actors.

    Each county has a well armed police force. Nearly each state has an armed force millitia. The country has a national guard. It also has several armed agencies. It has the three biggest armies on earth if you separate each corp and only count active soldiers. It has so much millitary equipment the overflow gets sold to polices.

    Those armed millitia are all in different counties, are smaller than the local police forces, with less weapon and next to no organizational know how… They would never be able to have any other impact than get outgunned in a remote place by cops or the national guard…

    Unless they all start to cause chaos at the same time, which would maybe lead to a semi destabilization of some part of the USA, I don’t see these people with guns achieve anything.

    Also most people who wants guns are scared/anxious persons and will talk loud about using them but won’t act when it’s time, because their real motivation is hiding a percived weaknesses with a weapon.

    That’s why in all the years of abuse by the insurance system in America, there was only one Luidgi.



  • Yeah! It’s fascinating seeing both types of post from trumpidor the first. That said … I wonder how that works in our material world.

    I mean - from my point of view and analysis, trumpidor is either an actor playing the role of a floundering politician or a floundering politician.

    If he is an actor, most of what I see starts to make sense. He has a team, he works with other, he’s mostly a Muppet with other imperialist hands up his ass and so he must be pitied as he is not his own man.

    If he is not … Everything becomes more complicated as he’s most likely only a demented old man in an untenable position, trying his best to stay afloat in the sea of shit he is himself creating. It’s at best a real attempt at disturbing the uncomfortable status quo and at worst, elder abuse.

    But I’m to get back to the subject, what I am really wondering is how it would work in real life if he had a team writing these. How can these people sleep at night ? Who are they ? Where do they come from ? Why don’t they talk / whistleblower / boast about it ?

    Keeping secret is hard …

    So maybe we are just seeing trumpidor in moments of lucidity and then in rage/drugs/stress induced moments ?

    It’s so hard to guess from so far away …
