I do wonder how much of this is due to cultural homogeneity and the benefits that follow. Will this remain the case in the presence of a larger proportion of immigrants? I don't think its a fair comparison, when people contrast Nordic countries with the US.
Many studies have found that social trust is higher and easier to maintain in homogeneous societies.
- Darmody 3y agoYou're wrong about the immigration part. They now have to use the army to fight the gangs in Sweden. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66964723 https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-66964723
- pb7 3y agoExactly. As soon as immigration increased, crime and disorder increased. It's easy to maintain utopia when everyone looks and behaves exactly like you.
