Norsk "Høyre"-ordfører drar til New York på skattebetalernes regning for å koseprate med en marxist med skremmende aksept for islamister. For en parodi.
I still laugh from time to time about a seminar I attended at Cambridge where anthropologists and moral philosophers were talking about morality in cross-cultural perspective and the subject of private property came up. After various know-it-alls suggested there was no deep basis for private property ("cultural construction"), an ethologist piped up, "Have you ever tried to take a banana from a gorilla?" and there was just dead silence for about a minute and then everyone pretended nothing had happened and just continued as they had been.
I 2014 avslørte NRK hvordan mange eritreere med asyl i Norge likevel reiste tilbake til Eritrea. De skjulte turene via naboland, betalte lokale myndigheter og sørget for at det ikke ble stemplet i reisedokumentene – mens de fortsatte å motta beskyttelse i Norge. UDI bekreftet omfanget av misbruket.
Samme mønster skjer fortsatt i 2026, ikke bare med eritreere, men med «flyktninger» fra flere land som reiser hjem på ferie og besøk. Det er på tide med strengere kontroll av reiseaktivitet og at de som misbruker asylordningen mister statusen og sendes permanent tilbake.

Another way of putting this: Europeans have been fed bullshit about the US on a range of issues by their media for decades and now they're learning the truth.
And it's not just about affluence.
Does inequality cause social collapse?
Measuring the rate of inequality across hundreds of archaeological sites around the world by looking at the distribution of house sizes, and checking if there is a relationship between inequality and how long a site survives, you find that:
No! In fact, there is a slight positive correlation between the rate of inequality and site duration.
@fitzmagic13 Internet trolls love saying it’s the worst while Spain tied Cape Verde…absolute cope from the internet like the US squad hasn’t handled their business like the best in the world…
There is a popular narrative that in the US only the super-rich are doing well, while Europeans are better off than Americans.
They are not. Americans, excluding the top 1% and even the poorest 20%, are much better off than their European equivalents.
Sorry Europe, try harder.
It’s still remarkable to me how centre-right parties across Europe would sooner speedrun themselves towards electoral oblivion than just meaningfully address immigration.
