At what point did the final straw finally break?

The answer is naturally "lots of little things", but I would like to mention in particular:

  • Norwegian e-waste in Agbogbloshie, and other failings relating to the global south and the environment
  • The shutdown of Google+ and other grievances with Silicon Valley
  • The Christchurch mosque shootings and their context and response
  • COVID-19, what made it worse, and its potential for societal change
  • Being trans and autistic, having an autistic brother, and a widowed immigrant mother
  • My dad's death itself
  • The faltering of our support network in Norway, the health system etc of Minnesota
  • The state of Leech Lake reservation
  • The fall of Norwegian culture in Minnesota

Not all of these were necessarily major factors, but some of these I think are more unique grievances.
