My fellow Norwegians, including our economists it seems, perceive the transfer from the oil fund (Norway's pensiom fund), which makes up 21.8% of the Norwegian state's budget, as some sort of gift from the government or a gift from the nature to the citizens.

However, considering that the state is just an institution that manages the pension fund on our behalf, meaning - the fund is the citizens' wealth, the transfer from the fund to the public budget in reality is a wealth tax, just like any other wealth tax.

I've got big fish to fry, so thx for sharing. 

 Ha ha ha, this is awful, first lesson of freedom, get in a spot where the actions of government don’t affect you, so they lunacy is simply amusing rather than soul crushing. Gm rune. 

 😁 

 There are such amazing get-away places in Norway! But how free you can really live, depends on the community around you. If they are fearful and in awe of government, the most remote places can be unfree. What's your take Rune, how free can you live in the Norwegian mountains, forests and islands? 

 I think we might have a different idea about freedom. 

If I have to escape to the mountains for some reason, I'm not free 

 If it's an escape, I agree, there's no freedom. I personally choose to live in pure nature because freedom for me is being in harmony with it. I'm only learning this myself, and I love to share the experience with others. But currently not too many people are able to live in tune with nature anymore. That's why I have a calling to live in the mountains, forests, plains and islands, to heal, to learn about balance and harmony with Earth. That responsibility for me is an essential part of freedom. 

 Sounds terrific 

 Exactly, since we cannot defeat their cannons, abandonning their "influence zone", the metropolis, is the one and only real revolution.
