Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against CPS-like services. I just realise that it is a double edged sword. Open for exploitation for those with horrible intentions, and a crucial service for people who really need it.

A lot of the times, when children get taken away, it’s for good reasons, like drug abuse, crime, violence or sexual abuse.

But Norway is in the middle of a giant moral panic about teen crime. The justice system recently implemented a new system to hasten the punishment of teenagers and lowered the age required to be sent to prison.

All of these measures are heavily biased towards teens of immigrant families. Middle Eastern looking kids hanging out in a shopping mall will frequently get the cops called on them for loitering around, and that results in CPS involvement, meaning families that are visibly foreign are much more subject to scrutiny for simply having a normally rowdy teenager.

Our CPS equivalent are also infamous for using sloppy “interrogation” tactics and often twist the words of children and lead them on to get a conviction against their families. Especially so against immigrants.

I’m betting it will end up like Ghost Ship.

Scandinavian child protection services really serve as an instrument for terrorising immigrants and poor families.

Norwegian version of CPS has repeatedly been sued by the UN for breaking human rights.

If you ask me, ukraine has been an incredibly fucked up country since the 90s.

But when I do it, I get called a gymrat /s

Blowing up Nordstream was the EU equivalent of blowing their own brains out.

Yup.

I would love to visit, but anyone in my country who visits Russia ends up on a list nowadays.

There have been university professors and researchers who have been arrested and had their jobs taken from them simply for having been on vacation there or having had russian coworkers.

Norway is in full blown russophobic hysteria.

A full on pan-scandinavian war like in the good ol’ times would be hilarious.

A bunch of tattooed, barista-looking Norwegian dorks versus hairgelled party-Swedes versus drunken Danish uncles versus emo Finns with mullets.

Alien ant farm really fucked up when they covered that MJ song. It completely overshadowed the rest of their Anthology album, which is otherwise a really solid album for the era. I still hum to Movies, Courage and Happy Death Day.

If you can, pirate Anthology and listen for yourself. It’s an incredible time capsule of the early '00s and the last gasp of a dead genre.

I have a coworker who was a UN soldier in Lebanon in the 80s.

The way he described it is that they were basically cops and hall monitors. He would make sure that locals wouldn’t dig up and steal cables or rebar while observing israeli soldiers.

Someone hasn’t seen Ghost perform unplugged.

Lmao, even if you vote Democrat, they’ll just give up power to the Republicans.

What’s even the point of voting?
