At what point did the final straw finally break?

    The answer is naturally "lots of little things", but I would like to mention in particular:

    • Norwegian e-waste in Agbogbloshie, and other failings relating to the global south and the environment
    • The shutdown of Google+ and other grievances with Silicon Valley
    • The Christchurch mosque shootings and their context and response
    • COVID-19, what made it worse, and its potential for societal change
    • Being trans and autistic, having an autistic brother, and a widowed immigrant mother
    • My dad's death itself
    • The faltering of our support network in Norway, the health system etc of Minnesota
    • The state of Leech Lake reservation
    • The fall of Norwegian culture in Minnesota

    Not all of these were necessarily major factors, but some of these I think are more unique grievances.
