Hvis du hver eneste dag, i hver eneste situasjon og hver eneste anledning blir fortalt indirekte at det du vet 100% er riktig, faktisk er feil, hva skjer med deg da? I over ett år har folkemordet i okkuperte Palestina pågått. Folk over hele landet har protester og sagt fra ar vi vil ha handling fra våre folkevalgte. Ingenting skjer.

The title of this article is something I have had in the back of my mind since very early on in my career and it has stuck with me. Note! If you are offended by swearing, bad language and grammar you will have a blast reading this article as it contains a lot of it 😂
