As the far right party is flying high on the polls—with, predictably, no, zero, zip dip after one of their senior advisors was caught on tape with some racial hygienic musings about how decendants of Pakistani immigrants shouldn't have children while white Norwegians should up their production—Norway's once again gearing up for the ethnonationalist orgy that's Constitution Day. For the children.

Reminds me about something I learned in an introductory social anthology class in uni, about the two basic/core forms of religion: asceticism and ecstasy. And how for a religion to survive, it either needs constant little ascetic drips to keep people from forgetting or the occasional ecstatic blowout that will keep people remembering for a long time. Norwegian nationalism, perhaps a bit surprisingly in such a Protestant corner of the world, is quite ecstatic.
