Nordicism: The Undeniable Norse Supremacy
Presenting Longyearbyen, in Svalbard, Norway.
The far north, well above the Arctic Circle, is generally similar to the third world, just much colder than typical. Whether it is in Alaska, Russia or Canada. Services - including internet - are limited, accommodations are substandard and generally absolutely filthy, and the prices are completely insane. Similarly, you better be able to hunt your own food in the far north, unless you are fine eating the lowest quality crap you can think of. Law enforcement is nearly non-existent, with “authorities” making up rules as they go, including as it relates to firearms and the insane harassment despite having all possible paperwork and permits.
The one exception to the degeneracy associated with the north is, naturally, Norway, including Svalbard. Below is a comparison:
The Arctic in the rest of the World, Here in Canada
Case in point, the main store in Inuvik, Northwest Territories, in Canada. With road access to the rest of the country. Depressed stores, empty shelves, and insane prices:
The Arctic in Norway
Then, you have Longyearbyen, in Svalbard, Norway. The northernmost town in the world, and closest to the actual North Pole too. Super remote archipelago in the middle of nowhere, with no road access from mainland Norway.
Not only is the local store not any different from any store on the mainland, but the prices are not even higher. They are actually cheaper (no VAT, and no “Native” to pocket it, so the savings are passed onto the customer).
Not only this, but even gas is cheaper than on the mainland…
Not to mention that traveling back and forth with a gun is no issue…
Of course, the food in Svalbard is also among the best in the world…
Svalbard is another example of Nordicism, or Norse supremacy. Everything we do, anywhere, is better and more efficient.
