==The line is very arbitrary...==
Is it? Countries are not people. Democracies like Norway, are comprised of many people who elect officials to represent their interests as a people. How is that the same as an individual person?
- zer00eyz 2y agoSo it's fine for Norway to sell oil and buy nestle for the good of its people. But it's bad for the ultra rich to do the same?
- supplied_demand 2y agoWhat "good of its people" are the ultra rich serving? They are serving the good of themselves, no other people involved. When Norway sells oil, lots of that money goes to a generous social safety net that supports people of Norway. The analogy doesn't really work.
- zer00eyz 2y agoSo it's perfectly fine for Norway to trash the planet, and profit off of nestle doing shitty things in Africa? Because it's good for one group of people, at the expense of others?
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> fine for Norway to trash the planet Give me a break, they’re exporting oil and driving Teslas. Once a country has decarbonised they get to start going after the Norwegians. In the meantime, it’s throwing stones from a glass house.
