Fortify in Lom
Fortyfying in Lom, or what Peter Wessel Zapffe says, sublization, which is much better than submission :-)
I want to inform that it’s no better in Norway. Why they say we’re so happy here in Scandinavia, I’ve no idea? It was such a blessing during the Pandemics, with no airstripes above the Totenåsen Hills, where I photograph. Now it’s worse than ever, so I only go photographing on cloudy days. Too new wind power plants pop up everywhere, so I cannot enter the hilltops anymore. My plan now is to finish photographing my once belowed Totenåsen Hills, for then withdrawing at Lom, fortifying ourself there. Lom is surrounded by national parks, so I hope it can be safe for new wind turbine plants, but you never know? Too Norwegian governments recently introduced an exit tax on 40 percent of your wealth, if you want to flee the country. So they do for sure want to keep us trapped in this nightmare. Today I read the governments make a new tax system, doubling the property tax for house owners. So my plan is to withdraw in Lom, living as simple as possible, entrenching myself in photography, and forgetting about this hellish world the best I can.
“Something is fundamentally wrong with the way life is structured. This didn’t happen naturally. This wasn’t an accident. At some point, people sat in rooms of power and decided how everyone else would live. They invented systems, rules, schedules, and labels, then told the rest of us to call it “normal.”
Who decided we need numbers attached to our identities? Who decided childhood should be spent training for obedience? Who decided our value would be measured by productivity, clock-ins, and how much of our life we’re willing to sell just to survive? These weren’t laws of nature—they were choices made by humans to control other humans.
You drive through downtown and see massive buildings towering over the street like monuments to submission. Inside them are people in suits, trapped in routines they didn’t choose, performing roles they don’t believe in, smiling because they’re required to. Step out of line and you’re punished. Say “no” and you lose your income. Lose your income and suddenly you can’t eat, can’t live, can’t exist. That’s not freedom—that’s coercion with better branding.
We’re told we’re “free,” but every essential thing in life is locked behind compliance. Work or suffer. Obey or fall. Resist and you’re discarded like a defective part. And if you complain, you’re gaslit into thinking you’re the problem—lazy, ungrateful, broken.
What makes it worse is how normalized it all is. The control is so baked into daily life that questioning it makes you sound insane. People defend the system that drains them, protects the people on top, and squeezes everyone else dry. We’re expected to accept this as “just how life is,” even though it clearly benefits a small group while everyone else trades their time, health, and sanity for the right to barely survive.
This isn’t order. It isn’t progress. It’s a machine that runs on human exhaustion—and we’re all forced to keep feeding it.” - オプション利益
“Derfor trodde aztekerne at solen støtt er på jakt etter månen og stjernene, som gjemmer seg så godt de kan. Til denne jakten trenger solguden å styrke seg på menneskeofre, ellers vil hans søsken klare å drepe Coatlicue, og verden gå under.”
