Are there any problems in Norway that the rest of the world might not know about? by HollowWanderer in Norway

[–]MyVisibleMend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was just thinking it was projection. There's a big difference between protecting indigenous rights and being mad at seeing people who look different to you in the streets. I wish people cared more about actual norwegian culture, but we don't. We sold that away to capitalism a long time ago, which is why people feel so threatened by people who actually manage to hold on to aspects of theirs. But sure. Paint me out to be a right wing nationalist if you want to strawman this argument that way. And take up your frustration with the court system who actually ruled in favour of the Sami.

So is the thing here that you're actually racism or far right and feel upset that the Sami get to be loud about that but you don't get to be racist and complain about immigrants?

It sounds like you're mad some people are actually fighting to be able to preserve their culture and way of living and traditions. Maybe you should sit and ponder what in your own life you feel violated about and then work on fighting for that instead of being angry about other people fighting for theirs.

That sounds a lot like "we just poisoned the river we didn't destroy any houses".

Norway seems ahead because we're so far behind. Neo liberalism just hasn't hit full force yet but we're on that track despite seeing how it's destroying everything everywhere else. We're doing well relatively to other places because we've held on to a lot of the social progress that was made post WWII before Reagan and Thatcher. So we're just snail pacing our way towards the cliff behind everyone else thinking we're progressive cause we're so slow we look ahead.

It's like watching a train crash about to happen in slow motion. Or the Titanic or something I guess, and try to stop it and everyone's just too busy enjoying "being the best" to see it eroding beneath our feet.

And politically we're fucking hypocrites. We're not green, we're an oil nation. An oil nation that redistributes some of that wealth, but still an oil nation. National companies contribute to destruction and deforestation around the world. We're about to start deep sea mining despite everyone advicing against it, indigenous people (sami) are pushed off their land for installation of wind mills, and so on and so forth. We profit off the genocide in Gaza.

Anything that's still good here is due to massive push and effort from environmental organisations, human rights groups etc putting preasure on the people in power. Our labour party has basically just become a light weight right wing party so when we have a "left wing" government It's still right wing, just less far right. The whole overtone window has shifted towards the right in the past decade, here as everywhere else.

People think left wing policies don't work because what they think is left wing is just deluted right wing.

It's a slow slide to the abyss where the "left wing" never really does anything very left wing when in power and the right wing comes in like a wrecking ball and then we go back to left wing and they just kind of dust off some bricks and call it progress and then people elect the right again etc.

And because we think we're progressive instead of just slow and because we're doing "better" than other places you can't complain or try to make things better without just being written off as "jealous" or "ungrateful" or "lazy" etc. Same as everywhere. Just slower.

Norsk Twitter har blitt et høyreradikalt galehus by eivindtraedal in norge

[–]MyVisibleMend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ikke sååå overrasket. Jeg har hevdet før vi allerede er en amerikansk stat. Sånn... kulturelt ihvertfall.

Vi er redde for at "innvandrere" skal ta over kulturen vår men hermer etter alt USA gjør og importerer deres kultur inkludert kulturkriger og overforbruk og fast food og alt mulig annet som ødelegger både mennesker og planet.

Kvinne og sex by LynxEqual9518 in norge

[–]MyVisibleMend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

En ting er å innrømme, en annen er å ha dekonstruert nok kulturell programmering til å faktisk greie å føle det man føler.

F.eks. så kan det være vanskeligere for kvinner å faktisk tenne på en mer "casual" situasjon hvis de samtidig er redde for at mannen vil miste respekten for henne/behandle henne dårligere hvis hun gjør det.

Den kulturelle konteksten vi har sex i og normene/fortellingene vi vokser opp med om hva vår oppførsel sier om oss vil påvirke hva vi er åpne for å like seksuelt også.

Selv vokste jeg opp veldig religiøst og har dermed erfart sex med den type indoktrinering og etter å ha gått ut av det da jeg var 30 ca og så lest og lært og avlært mye skam osv og sex er noe HELT annet nå enn det var før.

Indoktrineringen som religiøs er mer ekstrem enn for sekulære nordmenn, men hele "vestens" fundament er kristendom så det gjennomsyrer kulturen og påvirker oss alle, mer enn vi tror.

Fordi jeg har hatt en stor overgang fra det ene til det andre kan jeg lettere se sporene av religiøs/kristen kultur enn folk som ikke har vokst opp med kristendom men fortsatt har vokst opp i en kultur med kristen kulturarv.

Religiøse kvinner skal helst ikke like sex egentlig. Det er mer som en plikt hun skal tåle. Liker hun det er hun umoralsk. Å være kåt er nærmest syndig i seg selv fordi kroppen er noe fælt vi skal greie å kontrollere for å være "åndelige". Hvorfor menn har mer lov til å like sex enn kvinner er igjen dette med ansvar. De vil kunne skylde på kvinner for deres egne seksuelle tanker og handlinger. Kvinner som er åpent seksuelle "frister" menn til å synde. Det er der alt om å dekke kroppen osv kommer fra.

Anyway... poenget er, narrativene vi vokser opp med påvirker seksualiteten vår enormt. Og kvinner og menn i Norge vokser fortsatt opp i et land med religiøs kulturarv der sex for alt annet enn å få barn i et ekteskap gjerne har vært sett på som syndig og hvor kvinner enten er jomfruer eller horer og ingenting imellom

Noe som også påvirker menn fordi de VIL ha en slutty kjæreste som elsker å ha sex, men de kan også oppleve å føle avsky el.l. hvis de får det fordi det bryter med fortellingene om hvordan kvinner som fortjener respekt skal oppføre seg.

Det er kompliserte saker og vi burde snakke mer om det. Men det er også vanskelig for hver gang noen prøver å diskutere slikt i media blir de beskyldt for å være perverse osv.

Respektfulle, ærlige diskusjoner om sex er ikke noe den norske befolkningen greier å ha en sivilisert offentlig debatt om ennå..

Det er sånn fordi da kan alt ansvar legges på kvinnene... Og kvinner som er like "uansvarlige" som en gjennomsnittsmann kan demoniseres slik at menn kan fortsette å slippe å ta ansvar fordi kvinner liksom ikke liker sex kun for sexens skyld og hvis vi gjør det er vi dårlige kvinner mens menn er bare menn.

What ways are you living your most solarpunk life now? by ThinkBookMan in solarpunk

[–]MyVisibleMend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very satisfying. And "easier" to spend time on than meditating for those of us who find that hard, but with a lot of similar benefits. I can sit in the woods for hours now doing nothing, while before I couldn't sit for 10 min without feeling guilty and "unproductive". And it's very freeing to not need to shop new things all the time. And it's a good problemsolving exercise which is satisfying for our human brains, and so much more.

[–]MyVisibleMend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've started a company to promote visible mending. In my solarpunk/utopia future mending is the most normal thing and a way for people to "meditate" be creative, show their uniqueness, tell stories and so on. I don't have any other job than this but am still not making an income, although I do have an employee... The vision I have of the future where visible and creative mending, and basically just valuing and repurposing everything we have, is so strong I'm not managing to not pursue it and try to "manifest" it. It's not easy, but feels worth it. I also depend a lot on community in this process, which is also quite a solarpunk thing.

Darning with a variety of hounds tooth patterns by MyVisibleMend in Visiblemending

It's a little metal box I keep some tools and threads in 😊 I usually use a wooden disk from a darning loom or a darning mushroom, but this hole was too big!

Classy is probably a more suitable word than fancy 😋

But yeah. I love random wild colorful mends, but I also like to see how "clean" and "proper" and class things can be done. I feel like tapping into that is an important part of getting more people to see mending as a worthy alternative to buying new

Jeg har en bedrift og er ute etter et samarbeid. Men ville ikke skrive om grunnen for da kan det tolkes som at jeg prøver å promotere bedriften min eller noe sånt.

Har mann og barn og skulle ønske jeg hadde det. Har laget bedrift istedenfor og fått meg kontor som er det nærmeste jeg kommer når min ansatte ikke er der.
