While I agree with us having to lower our oil dependency, and agreeing it will be a cold day in hell before I vote for FrP, Høyre, or Ap, I'd like to see some nuance on the alternatives.
Some of them traditionally staunch NATO opponents, others having their trademark being great ideas (that I honestly agree with), but no plan on how to feasibly implement them, and most, if not all parties, not having the slightest idea on how to make legislation in relation to technology without it being batshit crazy.
This election was more of a "pick the least shit" situation. Which we have to do, but still, left me with a bitter aftertaste.
My point being that it is not as black and white as this video makes it out to be. I do, however, agree with the spirit of the message, and the moment we stop using our voice because we can't find the unicorn party that has a semblance of competency, we end up like the US where the angry loud people can vote in wherever crazy shit they want while the rest of us sit idly by.
Also, what the fuck good is our sovereign wealth fund when it's being used to profit of war and genocides, and all it does is make the numbers go up.
Divest from inhuman and anti-environmental causes, and maybe we could spend some of it on schools, health- and elder care, and infrastructure.
Hot takes I know.
Also, don't take my word at face value. I'm a voice on the internet with my own internal motivations, thoughts, and subjective umwelt.

There is demand for oil, and you should supply your oil for as long as possible. This reduces the dependence of several EU countries, such as Germany, on Russia and hurts Russia. If you don't sell it, Saudi Arabia will. That is not a better solution.

This sums up all my elections in Germany. I hate it and I do not think that democracy can survive like that.
