Nah, man. I live in a country that works that way. It doesn't work.

I think the only reason it doesn't work better in Norway in every single modality is that Norwegians are excessively conflict-averse and thus enable abuse.
That said, people here just proceed to *openly* enable it for all sorts of reasons, instead of trying to hide/ignore it.

Yeah, I've found it very difficult to make friends from the US that were my own age for similar reasons - though I understand this varies a lot by state and class.

That is very much so on purpose, I assure you.
My interactions with others have been... unpleasant.

I like to say that they remind me a lot of Poles. It's not meant to be a flattering comparison.
Not that I'm all that keen on Norwegians, either. At some point, it's just post-monkeys being post-monkeys...

Heh, the Poles have definitely endured worse.
First the country was utterly wrecked by the Nazis, left as a bargaining chip by the allies to avoid prolonging the war, maintained in its ravaged state by the Communists (with all the psyops that implies).
THEN neoliberalism.
The US, for all the rampant cruelty of its leaders, at least won the war and had 10-20 years of pretty great levels of prosperity (for some).
Poland hasn't had that since the inter-war period. And that was under a military dictator.
