The news from Denmark made me think back on the shit that went down in Norway 11 years ago, and holy fuck-
You had a roided up thumb failson calling himself a Knight Templar and fancying himself as a protector of white Christendom blowing up bombs near a government building in the capital to distract from his intended target, a summer camp for the youth wing of the local soc dem party held on a nearby island where he went around shooting and killing 70+ children like fish in a barrel dressed as a policeman.
Like no, he didn't attack government officials or politicians only targeting government buildings as a feint* he specifically wanted to kill children who he thought were communists
*His primary target was apparently the former leader of the dem soc party who had left the island by the time he arrived
:desolate:
I seem to remember that Breivik claimed he was part of some larger "Templar" organisation, whatever happened to that thread 👁️
Also, the whole incident was a bit awkward for every anti-Muslim cryptofash "immigration critical" politician and """"intellectual"""" in Europe as he had basically quoted every single one of them in his manifesto
if i remember correctly his primary target was the former prime minister of the demsoc party, gro harlem brundtland, but she had left the island an hour before breivik arrived
Oh yeah, I forgot that detail! So it was intended as an even more explicitly political attack. Am I correct in that they weren't even in power at the time?
This happened under Jens Stoltenberg's second government which lasted to 2013, which was a coalition of Ap, SV and Sp. So they were in power, and lost power the next election.
