Why the fuck do Norwegians care about Charlie Kirk?
American cultural hegemony is so weird to consider when it extends to our political theater.
Don't you have your own weirdos? I'd figure you'd have like Brevik stans or whatever.
Not just this but the now-former leader of the Red Youth (youth wing of the furthest left party in parliament) was practically FORCED TO RESIGN for making a singular incredibly tame joke about Charlie Kirk's assassination on TikTok. It was a huge scandal and the Norwegian news media has remained fucking obsessed with everything this 22-year-old has done with her life ever since.
Neeeeei, vi hater dette landet som det faller neeeed………
OK, we're going to have to pause Norway until we can figure out what's going on.
Fascism is always astroturfed, and our modern day astroturfers are not very good at making bespoke propaganda for each country (well, there are local fascist astroturfers everywhere, but they may not have the kinds of platforms as the international ones)
People outside the US are propagandized to fuck and don't know it. None of them actually know anything about the US, even a lot of the people who criticize the country.
