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.

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.
