Norway statistically has the most happy ppl, and is considered the most free country on earth.
I want to note here, since I've been living in Norway for a few months now, things aren't really "perfect".
The law is very strict, which is good, but then you have laws such as being unable to yell to your children otherwise the state will take them from you. I'm not talking about abusing your children (in which case, yes, the state/police SHOULD take them from you) but just about YELING to your children.
I know a 14 years old girl who was telling me the other time how, when a child misbehaves or cries, yells etc, the parents just give them money in order to shut up.
At the same time, many kids. (14-16 years old) browse on snapchat and tinder (TINDER) all day long and have sex at those ages...
It is very messed up.
Of course, multiculturalism is very intense (I always see more blacks than whites) but because of the strict laws, there aren't many crimes and discrimination towards other races. However, this goes both ways. Blacks/Asians are not allowed to talk badly about whites and whites are not allowed to talk badly about blacks/asians, even if some of them yell, pollute the environment (throw trash outside) etc. Yet again, because of the strict laws, the incidents are few or happen in ways that can be controlled, hence not being a crime.
I have also noticed that Norwegian people are not really open to speaking their mind, or specifically to talk about "sensitive" topics that may bring conflict or "hurt " someone. Truth be told I haven't made any Norwegian friends yet, but this is their overall culture and it can be seen in a variety of indirect ways.
Another thing I've noticed about them is that they have BLIND faith to their government. Surely not all of them, but the vast-vast majority. This is also why Norway was one of the most vaccinated countries. Because their government advised them to do it (WITHOUT EVEN placing fines or any punishment if they didn't vaccinate, like they did in some other countries).
Now, statistics show that they are one of the happiest people in the planet... But do you think that a white SS would be happy to seeing 4 out of 5 of his neighbors being black, or to be served at any shop out there by blacks, and just seeing that he is the minority here?
Or that he can't even comment in a negative light about the uncivilized third world immigrants that pollute the building? (As an example)
Fuck statistics man. After coming here I've been very disappointed by all of those things. The two people with whom I came here are very happy about the strict laws and "against discrimination" and all that.
Having strict laws is good indeed, but avoiding to address certain important issues because of "muh feelingz" is plainly wrong.
In my opinion, at least.
The crime rate is indeed very low here an because of the wealth and the high salaries, it is very unlikely for someone to get robbed, even if they leave their phone unattended for hours.
The nature here is also absolutely stunning.
(By the way, I did read that the OP is not white, but I wanted to comment about Norway from a white person's perspective)
It is also important to note that I lived in Greece for all my life, and Greeks are very... well, hot-headed so to speak and can have more anarchist tendencies. This is definitely bad, but it could also be affecting my view of Norway. I don't know.
