> we prefer not to talk to each other anymore The "we" here being "The Dutch". Pretty much everywhere (other than Eastern Europe maybe) is it easier to talk to random strangers. I've also never seen any place where it's more socially accepted to be a complete dickhead to strangers (other than locals in overcrowded tourists destinations, but that's a special case). After spending a few years abroad I found it absolutely shocking.
