Very depressing thing of the day…
The masses have been divided in the west.
Family links are next to none existant and people are seen as tools to an end.
Individualism made it very easy to make the whole of idea of “organizing” something fringe or hard.
People simply forgot we used to work collaboratively for our own good and welfare and see organizations as a feodal like link, because that’s mostly the reality of the westerner.
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.
You over estimate the courrage of the citizens of the USA.
Half will side with the cops.
The other half will bluster and wave their guns around until bullets start to fly, then they will mostly shut up and side with the cops.
Usa is a nation of cowards, this is how fascism came back so easily in the first place.
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.
