I don't quite understand the question. Norway is Norway, the US is the US. If Norway still has some measure of national sovereignty, it maybe means that the capitalists haven't gotten around to it yet. You could maybe describe Norway as relatively protectionist, isolationist, etc

Norway is ultracapitalist, owns the largest sovereign wealth fund in existence, 1.3% of world stocks, is antifragile wrt recessions.
The US is one of the few richer countries pr. capita, but does not have:
- clean air
- universal health care
- job security
- good infrastructure

Yes, "everywhere" is probably hyperbole.
Kneejerk sounds neat when you say it, but my experiences with US culture and imperialism is not at all limited/local to the US.
Pretty annoyed at Norwegian support for it, too, but most European countries are effectively client states.

That said, my previous experience of the US was my entire family being detained as, quote, "possible terror suspects" over a weeks-old passport policy change. :)
Not hankering to go back any time soon.

Also, I'm "white" by US standards. Can't say I think it'd go as smoothly if we were, say, not white. Or visibly Muslim or "Muslim" in some way.
Lastly, this stuff leaves a record. Wouldn't be surprised to have some DHS asshole question me about my tweets if I entered again.
