It’s been six years since the George Floyd killing and the global Black Lives Matter campaign dominated the news. A few months ago, another murder took place — that of 18-year-old Henry Nowak. But it’s only now, months later, that his fate has come to light. And even now, it doesn’t appear to have received any attention outside the UK. But Nowak was white, and the killer belonged to an ethnic minority.

What is happening in Europe today is therefore not primarily about online hate, but about control over the narrative. Censorship is rebranded as ‘safety’. Surveillance is rebranded as ‘responsibility’. Control over information is rebranded as ‘protecting democracy’.

Many have a strong interest in keeping public fear alive. The modest media coverage of this cautious, realistic shift by the IPCC clearly shows this.

The modern, secular West has abolished the idea of “absolute evil.” We kept the rational explanations but discarded metaphysics. What remains are systems, structures, and context.

The other is households, small businesses, workers, craftsmen and shops who must make ends meet without the Oil Fund. The first economy grows while the second is squeezed. The state has oil wealth as backup. Families only have their paycheck — and are told they got too much in wage negotiations.

The state supported business, and taxes funded welfare for the Norwegian working class so no one had to beg. Now Norway has been turned into an EU colony. The state dominates business, the country is built on hypocrisy, regulation and public initiatives, tax money is handed out worldwide, and beggars are back on the streets.

Aftenposten urges us to fight “hate speech” on 17 May, with Gaute Skjervø presented as the face of what it calls a defeat for Norway. VG offers a lecture on far-right forces, racism, and the claim that being Norwegian has nothing to do with where your parents were born.

On Constitution Day, 17 May, we should not lose sight of the fact that what the people’s elected representatives did at Eidsvoll in 1814 was not to ask for greater security, but rather to constitutionalise the right to independence and freedom.

The patriotic hymns of the era express gratitude to God for the land and to those who fought for it. More priests joined the Liberal Party and the fight for union dissolution with Sweden. Norwegians came to view themselves as a people with a God-given history and mission.

The municipality gets the fees. The real estate agent gets the commission. And families are told they are lucky to own something that keeps rising in value. But the question is simple: If the home makes us so rich, why do we have to borrow more and more just to live in it?
