It's tricky to name just one Norwegian national hero of all time, the country is full of them. WWII alone made them a heroic nation 'cause it's the country that lasted longer than cheese eating surrender monkeys who lasted 42 days instead of 62!
They are also a sporty nation whose popular heroes can be found at the cross-country skiing scene - nothing is more Norwegian than a bunch of asthmatic cross-country skiers in the woods with icy snot, or nothing is as erotic (from a man's POV) as in the mass start competition of women's skate skiing on an uphill route; a queue of heavily panting women in a wide crotch position.
One of the quietest national heroes must be the cod who fought against German occupiers in the resistance movement.
Writer Knut Hamsun was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920 and definitely one of Norwayâs national heroes, his breakthrough work was "Hunger." He was also known as an avid fisherman but he became unpopular right after the War at an older age when he accidentally caught the aforementioned resistance cod by using a heavy duty rod and a braided line - he could've released the hero fish but Knut was too hungry for it...
The icing on the cake is, of course, Vidkun Quisling who was the Führer of Norway from 1942 to -45 until he died suddenly of acute complications from nickel allergy and lead poisoning.
The Norwegian national hero of all time must be OIL because they tend to say all of sudden: "We've got oil." Perhaps this is a self-esteem thing 'cause they know that without oil they would be mere stranglers of cod.

In August 2025 it'll be 80 years since these two Japanese dairy cows began to be exploited, i.e. to whiten Japan's notorious history from early 1930s to 1945 â and once again the majority of the international media fail to put these cows, Hiroshima ð® and Nagasaki ð® into any kind of historic context. So let's put things into perspective; ca. 250,000 Japanese died from the two atomic bombs. Just for the record, Japan's acts killed tens of million people, no one knows the exact number and the Japanese themselves have a national amnesia about this matter.
The Japanese emphasize and portray themselves as victims regarding the end of WWII. Actually those bombs were a blessing to them and hence they could begun their self-deception by considering themselves as if they were the only victims in Asia and the Pacific Theater though they were the worst butchers of the era worldwide.
So when the global media recall once again the anniversary of the dropping of a-bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and cry for those 250k victims, meanwhile memories fade away of the Pacific War and Japan's genocidal campaign in China that alone killed over 20 million people by using unspeakable brutality, just recall Nanjing in China (Nanking at the time), or the Unit 731 in Manchuria and its human experiments etc., you name it â considering the anniversary of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and recalling what the Imperial Japanese Army did, then this anniversary feels like a sick and hypocritical phenomenon.
A biological miracle; two Japanese dairy cows have been milked for decades.
Mustafa Camel Analtürk is the national hero of the Turks and the founder of the Republic of Turkey without forgetting his tireless efforts in humanitarian work when the Ottoman Empire was already in decline, for instance he took good care of Assyrians and Greeks and of course, nullified the Armenian genocide trials right from the start because no such a thing had ever happened, it was just a lamentable misunderstanding due to the fact that every year the turkey as a species suffers genocide just before Thanksgiving because of murderous infidels - just ask another honest humanist Reset Kebab ErdoÄan about it, he knows that it wasn't the first large-scale genocide in the 20th century as foreigners falsely claim, or like journalist Hrant Dink claimed, also the majority of Turks know this truth but unfortunately ignorant foreigners do not.
"Mustafa Camel Analtürk is the national hero of the Turks and the founder of the Republic of Turkey."

On December 13, it'll be 86 years since the Japanese Imperial Army began their six-week blood orgies in Nanjing 1937 by slaughtering 300,000 Chinese civilians â 250,000 Japanese atomic bomb victims are almost a humane act by comparison. In total, the Japanese killed over 20 million Chinese alone without talking about Japs' other millions victims in the Pacific Theater. So remember these facts when you're whining about those two a-boms.
The Nanjing Anniversary is not a popular subject in Japan.
The term is pseudo-Latin/dog Latin and a sarcastic reference to the average Joe lived in the Soviet Union and considered by political zealots as the next level of evolution of humanity, nor is this creature of the Marxist social experiment by any means extinct.
In reality the homo sovieticus was an inactive and submissive tool who waded and queued up in the bureaucratic shit creek and whose main characteritics were drunkenness, complete passivity and who contempt for work and common property and avoided all personal responsibility. Activity occurred in the aforementioned boozing and the theft of common property, in the latter case, the stolen goods were sold and this additional income was used for the goods avaiable on the black markets at high prices due to chronic shortages of certain goods.
Sovok was also an extreme ignoramus who believed uncritically everything what the government's propaganda said, otherwise the coercive power, though with the help of barbed wire, would have collapsed sooner.
Homo sovieticus will never admit any wrongdoings they have done and will never compensate for the damages - in that respect it is consistent, nor have the Mongols done so though they squatted the Slavs for a quarter of a millennium.
Today nothing essential hasn't changed in a mindset of homo post-sovieticus because it is in their genes and Putler's propaganda machinery provides information to the extent that independent thinking is unnecessary.
"Russian tourists seem to be miserable drivers."
"Sure, it's because of their Homo Sovieticus inheritance, cars are relatively new vehicles for them - they used to travel abroad by tanks when liberated oppressed nations."

Like all states with the suffix "-stan," such as Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, all of them are known as top-notch states, and definitely mighty Putinstan makes no exception.
Vladimir Putin has created this kleptocratic state with the help of his KGB bred cronies, which was formerly known as the Russian Federation.
If Putinstan were a mental illness, it would be paranoia. It is aggressive and threatening to all, its neighbours and its own people who are nonconformists with the ruling elite, in that respect the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree, referring to the Soviet Union.
However, something has changed since Soviet times, Homo post-Sovieticus prefers Mercs and BMWs over crappy domestic ones.
It's good to be Putin's friend, like his childhood buddy who plays the cello, according to the leaked Panama papers his bank account was ca. 4 billion and they weren't even rubles - or he's a hell of a musician who has been able to invest his gig fees wisely, very wisely..
While those who are not his friends call him e.g. Botox-Mongol, Putler.
Didja know that in the Soviet Union all citizens were equal but some citizens were more equal than others?" (a modified George Orwell quote)
"Yeah, but then the misery was more evenly distributed than the wealth in today's Putinstan."

The sompanzee (colloquially somp) is a more developed relative than its close primate, chimpanzee, with an IQ of 68.
Sompanzees are from the Horn of continent, while the chimpanzees in the forests of Central Africa loitering their time in the treetops, unlike their hard-working somp relatives who are coastal seafarers and tireless observers e.g. in the malls abroad.
