Fuck it, not even Ceausescu was doing this (or something similar to this) in communist Romania, and I grew up under Ceausescu as a kid, I should know. The worst that was happening from this point of view was maybe an older neighbor lady stopping you on your way back from the grocery store and literally going through your purchases (yes, kids were sent to the grocery store to do small purchases), but nothing more than that (and, even then, we, as kids, knew that what those old ladies were doing was wrong)
Which begs the question: how come today’s Norwegians are ok with this? How is this normal in a liberal democracy? Is this what modern liberal democracy was all along? I.e. a dystopian State infringing more and more on one’s basic liberties, all in the name of the “greater good”? That’s nuts.
