It's weird he has choosen france because it's like the worst country in europe to have ethnonationalist ideas.

I think he just wanted to escape Norway which is a place he would probably get harassed on the street regularly and also live in an "European" country (and his wife which he met before he went to France is French). He was the front page of national news when he went to jail.

Is that for his political views?

I have a theory that the left-wing Scandinavia trope is actually a result of the extreme conformism which one finds there, since what one is supposed to conform to nowadays to score social points are left-wing ideas.

By the way, I would like to visit Norway sometime and I would rather avoid the city. Is there anywhere you would recommend?

Very lovely morning
Try not to kill yourself today
Think of all that you'd be missing
Prescription made
Painkillers

Count your blessings early before the lot will hit the gates
Winnings for the lucky living just takes
Painkillers

Living just comes with a bit of heartache
Heartache comes with a bit of young faith
Faith stays young till your heart get broken
Hope grows up to become someday
I never hurt no one and no one will ever hurt me
I believe I believe I believe I believe
Faith plays dumb till the doubts all leave
I believe I believe I believe I believe
Manna won't fall till the people all speak
I believe I believe I believe I believe
Canaan ain't far for the souls who barter their pain for sweet relief

My queen won't feed on milk and honey
She impartial to the summer sun
She's a lone fire burning in the sand
And a cold, lonely night without one

She cocks her pistols 'fore she pops her collar
Oh she's all but lethal pulling off that laser gun
She's rips the halos off of angels for the fun of it
If all she ever does is smile at you, run

What'd ya need these for?
Round here the cries die young
Fly momma, fly to where you come
Speak momma, round here the quiet die young

Very lovely morning
Don't kill yourself today
Think of all that you'd be missing
And don't you ever pay mind to that line in your way that says you'll ruin it
You'll ruin this for everybody won't you

Very lovely morning
Try not to kill yourself today
Think of all the things you'll be missing
Prescription made
Painkillers

Must be the ones who start
To mold a new reality
Closer to the heart

No, for burning churches and stabbing his mate in the back 20 times "in self-defence", but also probably for talking semi-favorably about Anders Behring Breivik (except the killing kids part).

Although this also happened recenty: leader of far-right party (which is actually the biggest party in the polls currently; so much for "left-wing Scandinavia") got harassed on the street by an angry pro-Palestinian mob (link).

Interestingly, the lawyer who was interviewed about that incident was also interviewed back when Varg escaped from jail and hijacked a family's car by gunpoint in 1998.

Varg was sentenced in 1994, and not long after, the Christian Democratic Party became one of the biggest parties; they nearly doubled their seats in the Stortinget (Parliament) between 1993 and 1997. He would probably mostly be harassed by those people, but also later by more proper leftists after his Breivik statements (2011 and onwards). You could definitely explain all of that with conformism, and it definitely is a thing here (The Law of Jante). However, it's not a very specific explanation.

Hardanger, Geiranger, Jotunheimen. For any of those places, you would probably drop by Bergen anyway. I'm biased as a Bergen native, but Bergen is arguably the Norwergian city for tourists. It has the best overall history (Hanseatic League), WW2 history, the Seven Mountains.

Interesting, I have heard of similar developments in Sweden. It is happening all across Europe.

I only meant that people romanticise Scandinavia as an egalitarian paradise. It seems there are other things lying under the surface…

I remember reading:

Quote

This splendid Viking, this medieval marauder would have matched Nietzsche's idea of the "Blond Beast" much better than black-haired, Spanish Cesare Borgia, don't you think? The problem is that Nietzsche was a classical philologist. All throughout his life, the South mesmerised him. Had he directed his learning towards the North, studied the Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons, as the Englishman, Tolkien did, they would have provided him with far better models.

That Viking rage, the spirit of the berserkers - the Nordic warriors who fought with wild frenzy - is not dead yet. You cannot extinguish the soul of a race for good. Present-day Scandinavia, with its welfare state, social democracy and peaceful, women-dominated societies is only the surface. Underneath, fires are smouldering. One day the flames will flare up again, believe you me. Then people will realise Harald Hardrada is back.

Maybe this is what is happening now!

For some reason certain songs are coming up for Me, deep down they are little messages.. This one from Van Halen, is a classic, i've been listening to it allot lately on the ride back home from work, its symbolic, Jump into What?? Deep meaning arising!!!

I've been focusing on the Synthesiser pieces on this song for some reason, never did before, weird...
