    The shame of the Norwegian criminal justice system is not in how they treat their prisoners but in who they haven’t gotten around to imprisoning. White Wing nationalism absolutely tearing that country to shreds.

      Are they?

      I live here, and can’t say we have such a huge problem with them.

      They exist sure, but more in a “their batk is louder than their bite” sort of way, with the exception of ABB, but he is in prison so…

        We don’t. He’s full of shit.

        The right (FRP) is on a hard decline atm, allmost back behind Høyre. People tend to think a bit more before voting than when answering a random questionaire.

        Are they?

        https://www.newsinenglish.no/2024/11/12/conservative-wave-rolls-over-norway/

        Most startling is another new poll, conducted by research firm Ipsos for state broadcaster NRK, that showed how 47 percent of Norwegian men aged 18-29 said they would have voted for Trump if they’d had voting rights in the US. Among them is Herman Winther, a 23-year-old philosophy student at the University of Oslo who didn’t like Trump at all in 2016 but now sees value in what he described to Aftenposten this week as “conservative realism.”

          18-29 year olds being populist is most certainly not tearing the country to shreds.

          The latest polls have AP back on top. Currently, neither centre right or centre left have a clear win.

          We’ll see what happens come September

            Jesus. Imagine reading what I posted and reaching this conclusion.

              Great comeback when being called out on spreading horseshit, mate.

              Please read up on the current state of Norwegian politics before sharing any more of your interesting “knowledge”.

      …you would want to ban an opposing political opinions? Really? You know that cunts like Viktor Orban and Donald Trump only ever can get elected via the absolute and complete failure of the opposition?

          Where did I write that I want a compromise? I want jackasses to be able to go out and embarrass themselves

              They should have the right to vote however they wish?

              Are you saying the issue is not that say in America that the dems refuse to hold primaries and their neoliberal policies disgust the general public, its that folks have freedom of speech?

                I mean, I do think that hate speech and extremism such as white supremacism should not be allowed, yes. They do not act in good faith, why should we extend our good faith to them?

                But besides, that is slightly beside the point I was making. What I was trying to point out is that they do not embarrass themselves to the target demographic

                  And if you don’t realize that you are being embarrassing then you are not being one? Huh… Majority of my childhood saved!

                  And the banning things… Do you think that a large majority of the polulus in agreement of it? If so, then there is no need for a ban as it is viewed as socially unacceptable as it is. But if its not? How could that ever be enforced?

          I’ve seen tons of these comics. Can somebody asplain how “No, you can’t do that” is a compromise?

            I gotta say. I’m remembering the Columbia / UCLA protests, the BLM rallies, and the anti-War marches. And I’m remembering the police response. The police did not appear to side with the “We Want Civil Rights” folks. In fact, quite a few of the police were - themselves - waving the MAGA flags.

            It wasn’t the “We want to kill black people” group that cancelled. It wasn’t the reactionaries that got banned.

              If you can copy into your response where anyone above or even under me talked about platforms then I will call myself a moron!

              This is the second time I reread everything, we are not talking about facebook&twitter&… moderation; we were still talking about freedom of speech!
