The Covid-19 sin bin:
I'm deeply sorry that I didn't wholeheartedly support the small minority who were brave enough to protest the authorities' handling of Covid-19.
I let the rebels down.
I'm particularly ashamed, because as a lawyer, when I got my diploma, like all other Norwegian lawyers, I solemny had to promise I would go out and promote justice and prevent injustice.
I failed this duty miserably.
When we today see the very serious consequences of the authorities' abuse of power, with disproportionate and arbitrary lockdowns and distance regulations, in many cases mandatory vaccinations and various other harmful interventions in our freedom of movement and privacy, I just want to say that I now understand how much I'm to blame because I didn't protest openly and loudly.
Many of those who objected against the policies are bruised and battered and still have challenges in their lives due to the lack of support from their peers and the way they were treated by the rest of society.
I'll do everything to ensure that I don't make the same mistake in the future.
I'm writing this because today's postmodern society is affected by a virus that is very dangerous indeed - the fear of losing face and looking weak if one admits mistakes.
If we're to move forward in this process and succeed in forcing the authorities to put all the cards on the table, I think we must start with ourselves and acknowledge our own mistakes.
Therefore, feel free to write your own apology in the comments below, like and share, and then perhaps we can hope that many others do the same.
Thank you for your contribution.
🙏
