I don't think anybody here is in favour of autocracy, are they?
The discussion is not about political arrangements - with regard to those, Norway is entirely different from China.
I think I do see, from Jack of all trades (npub1gg4…euuk) 's last posts, the real point of difference though:
It's about whether or not we discard the good in search of the perfect.
This is very clear, for example, in the statement that "it doesn't really matter that Norway is attempting to replace oil&gas use domestically".
This is identical to the common climate-change-denial argument that 'there's no point in us taking action because x isn't, and they produce more emissions.'
It comes down to the difference between those that want to do what we can - limited though it might be - and those that think there's no point doing anything because we can't do everything.
