this is also a problem in #Norway. Nobody's talking about the over #fishing or the #trawling off the coast that is destroying reefs, or even the fish farms in #Norwegian #fjords that are dumping massive amounts of #antibiotics into the water - because fish farms are havens for bacteria and viruses.

But some Spanish or Portuguese boats come up to take away quota from Norwegian companies? RABBLE, RABBLE, RABBLE!

People are greedy idiots sometimes.

Suddenly some #Norwegian #grunder is standing at a #political #party victory ceremony doing the #romansalute - i.e the nazi salute.

But it's okay, because a 100 years of #liberalization and #NewPublicManagement has lead to the defunding of #PublicEducation - making people politically and historically ignorant.

Some old codger says "I remember my great-great grandad was tortured and killed by the Nazis for owning a jazz record", and a young guy says "stop being a #libtard, grandad."

Some time later, give it a 100 years or so, the #Norwegian government will have killed the welfare systems and introduced #HardOnCrime measures to deal with #crime.

In essence, they could deal with it by dealing with poverty, but as with most #westernized countries: that ain't happening, chief, because it would change the economy nationwide - again - and people would be irritated.

Instead, we turn more #authoritarian to deal with the issue and give the government even more power too.

In all likelihood #Norway will become even more #westernized as the #nuclearfamily kills the #traditionalfamily, challenging and even deposing political mainstays as #wellfare and #solidarity.

We might even see the #denationalization of #naturalresources, which has given #Norwegian people economic stability and decentralization.

Then we could finally compete with #Sweden who has been the king of #liberalization in the north. They are also the crime and poverty leaders of the north.

#Norwegian property market is next, because the commodification of the property market around the world has lead to one thing: artificial scarcity, which leads to high property prices, which leads to homelessness and exploitation of the renters economy.

This is what happened in the #US, the #UK, in #Canada, in #Germany, and now it will happen in #Norway as well.

The solution: build more housing - be it private or public. Anything else will be neglect or exploitation. Take your pick.
