Many fathers do not see their own children, and the system that is supposed to facilitate equality between the sexes favours the mother. Between 12 and 17 per cent of fathers almost never see their children when they do not live with them. That is 50 000 men, and even more children, according to Øivind Østberg. He is a lawyer and leader of MannsForum. -The figures have been stable over the years, he says.

That decision has already been made, as with the EEA, immigration, DAB radio, wind turbines, the electricity coup and paper straws. As tolls and climate fuel taxes have shown, public opinion no longer matters. The EU now decides.

But the municipality and county forced through a takeover. In what was described as a coup, the Church was ousted from its own festival: politicians gained the right to appoint the board, reducing the Church to a minority, while the requirement for unanimous approval of statutory amendments was abolished.

Trump himself does not drink alcohol, and although it is rarely mentioned as a political argument, it fits well into the new picture. Around Vice President JD Vance and a broader internet culture there flourishes a preoccupation with strength training and a widespread scepticism towards industrially produced foodstuffs.

They do not take in what is happening, but insist – every single day – on their own interpretation, which insists on seeing the world through specially adapted glasses. After ten years the signs of madness are massive.

Denying this is undemocratic. It reflects the perceived reality of around half of Norway’s citizens. No one has the right to shut down this debate by playing the Breivik card. Those who do are now the problem.
Continue reading »The culture of goodness judges policies by intentions rather than consequences. It rewards moral self-image while shifting costs onto others, suppressing criticism through moral condemnation, and replacing responsibility with symbolism. Genuine goodness demands truth, accountability and judgement. Politics should be assessed by its results—not by the virtue claimed by those who enact it.
Continue reading »We are getting steadily less welfare in return for the services we believe our taxes are paying for. Elderly care, healthcare, policing, schools, infrastructure—everything that matters to citizens—is deteriorating. Yet the overall tax burden continues to rise. Income tax remains unchanged, but taxes and duties on other goods and services keep increasing. Something has to change, and it starts with our attitudes: become more sceptical of the authorities, more angry.
Continue reading »The Labour Party (Ap) has long been in government, built institutions and staffed much of public Norway. This historical power is treated as proof of goodness. Criticism of its methods is dismissed as anger, polarisation or a threat to democracy. Democracy is reduced to Ap’s personal shield. The party claims the role of care, responsibility and democracy, while portraying FrP as harsh, dangerous and morally suspect.
