Political Action

[Bloomy]

This should actually be posted under sucess and accomplishment cause thats what this is.
Like most people I prefer to sit warm and safe in my sofa and talk about the politcal clima on facebook.

Also Ill add with ptsd and all the after math of it I really have enough struggle my self.

But now - today - I reached my limit.

Noway has its own little Trump in female version named Listhaug. Today she brought the police with her to hunt for people that stays here illegal. She and police force went in to diferent stores where there was foreigners and asked for their papers to prove their legit to stay in Noway. They have and still do break into peoples houses specially at night to throw out kids from Noway with police force. There seems to be no mercy and there are so many cruel stories. Like they threw out a guy in hospital on his death bed to send him back to the country he came from for more then 20 years ago.

So today I had enough. And I created this action to meet other people hopefully to discuss and do something.

Im so shit scared now that I can almost say being raped by my father was not that bad. Understand that undr second world war they gassed human being for not being their cup of tea.
So I mean - father raping me concers me only. Goverment f*ckin the people concerns so many and goes so deep on so many level and is potensial to create a third world war.

This is our future.

And I also know that norwegian government is part of why I struggle today. Cause they create unemplyment, build down the welfare state and offers and so much more Im so frightned.

Adminstrators - if this is to political please delete.

Good for you, @Bloomy.

It's awful to hear what's going on there. I am so sorry. I am sure you will find some people there to help fight this.

:hug:s

@hodge Im so scared of our future. I had to atleast try to initate something even if I dont really want to. I prefer sit safe and warm in sofa. But I cant anymore. So even if no one say yes atleast Ive tried. We will see how it goes.

Takk :hug:

I feel the same way, @Bloomy. It's had an awful effect on my PTSD, and I'm not alone. Hubby and lots of friends are also really upset.

Couple of thoughts
Try to keep it non party political ( politics, the idea that some people get to inflict their views out other people by force, is not a solution, it's the problem)

Read or listen to the audio book of Etienne de la Boetie, discourse on voluntary servitude ( it's free to download and probably takes about ninety minutes to listen to)
It was written almost five hundred years ago, and the illustrations he uses are usually drawn from ancient Greece and Rome, so it won't inflame present day political preferences.

I've been reading Benjamin Tucker this weekend, these days he gets dismissed as a "social darwinist" and "racist" on the basis of some incredibly dishonest straw man and quoting out of context by Richard Hofstadter, and people tend to look no further
His collection of essays "the man against the state" is brilliant, esp "the new Toryism"


Good luck

Like most peopl...

This is the kind of stuff I wish I could share elsewhere when young people think the grass is greener in other countries. Seriously.

 

[Anarchy]

young people think the grass is greener in other countries.

Unfortunately it's not just young, the Nordic countries get held up all too often as the utopia we should all have;

ok, the compulsory eugenic sterilisation of people that state sector school teachers, doctors and bureaucrats took a capricious dislike to might have stopped for now (at least one little girl got sterilised because she was short sighted, needed glasses and so couldn't see what the teacher was writing on the blackboard! Oh and the united state used to contribute funds for those policies),

but the anti minority stance which the thread is about, shows that ideas of who should populate the [hellish] utopia, and who it's imaginary largesse should be limited to, an who should be forcibly weeded out, are all too current.

The posts of members like @Bloomy here show what a complete myth the tales of tolerance, caring and generosity are.

D'oh!

I Don't know how Benjamin Tucker's name snook in, good as he is, it's Herbert Spencer's work with that title that I'm reading, and he is the philosopher and sociologist who gets wrongly slandered by Hofstadter.

@Anarchy "but the anti minority stance which the thread is about, shows that ideas of who should populate the [hellish] utopia, and who it's imaginary largesse should be limited to, an who should be forcibly weeded out, are all too current"

Im half sami. Some of my trauma derives from this. Mothers family was destroyed by the hellish utopia as they denied my family to be sami people as they actually where. It has cost me a whole lot and it still is a deep wound that they stole family identity and also mine and made us being ashamed of being who we are. Im still ashamed to listen to joik. Im still ashamed of being one of "those people" all though Im slowly learning to take back what is rightfully mine and be proud of it. Like listening to joik as an example. I refuse to be ashamed of that anymore. Ive started now this last months for the very first time in my life to come out as sami even do Im also partly norwegian and grew up as such 100 %. i also learn my jamaican daughter to never bow and always be proud that she is norwegian as well as jamaican and aint nothing wrong with her beautiful brown skin and her stubborn curly hair.

Maybe this concerns me especially with this as a back ground seeing my own family become totally destroyed by the majority and their racist prejustice politic in the name of lets all be homogenic?

@Zoogal - Noway like to be hypocrits and promote themselves as a nature loving and preserving justice country and Im well aware that theyre lies goes a long enough way for people to belive in it. Its all just that do - a big lie. People dream about the green grass - thats what we all do I guess. But we should also be thought to be consiousness and realistic about society and the facts of it.
