Under the title ‘This is Not Trisolaris, This is Europe’, the essay asserts that Norway has become the most baizuo and shengmu (or ‘woke’, as the Anglophone alt-right might say) country in the world because of long periods of prosperity and peace. They claim that the country has abolished all the ‘masculine’ (阳刚) social policies of the past and opened its doors to refugees, to the extent that Norwegians will become a minority in their homeland. Through a metaphor immediately recognisable to Three-Body fans, they compare far-right mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik to Thomas Wade and Norwegian politicians to Cheng Xin. In other words, they suggest Breivik was forced to sacrifice himself to rescue his nation from liberal self-destruction.

Wow. Yikes.

This review is heavy. I’m wading through it though. It’s very interesting
