The OP does have a point. Community solidarity has traditionally been there in the Nordic countries due to the harsh climate conditions and need to band together. However, the 20th-century welfare state model allows one to contribute to the community and help the neighbours without having to interact with them personally. Note how charitable organizations that do require personal interaction have broadly fallen by the wayside now that the welfare state has taken over, except for the occasional foreign sect working outside of the mainstream churches.
