@breadandcircuses I'm norwegian, living in the north. We've been brainwashed from a young age that "oil built this great welfare state, and we've gotta keep drilling to sustain ourselves".It's a toxic half-truth. Oil brought riches yes, but our strong democratic institutions courtesy of the workers movement as well as civic society, is what ensured the riches were actually put to use for the sake of people.We don't need to pump up another litre of oil or gas to stay rich, the profits from our sovereign wealth fund (although problematic by skimming off of others' hard work, investing in Israel and disregarding human rights) already cover 1/3 of our national budget. Bar societal collapse, which gets increasingly likely with every additional kg of co2e in the atmosphere, we'll keep raking in undeserved dough forever, enough to cover 1/3 of our natonal budget; even without pumping up more oil/gas or putting any more money into the fund.Just Stop Oil
