This "style" of thought? I'm not sure what you'd call it is something we're seeing more and more often in today's culture. The premise that if something, anything, ever goes wrong while using any "system" the solution is not to address the issues as they come up but to abolish the entire system and start over. Often, by recreating the same system but with extra steps or one that relies on everyone thinking similarly and coming to same conclusions. The catch is it's their system and therefore it's better. Like was said, in theory, alot of the proposed systems do work but in reality it rarely goes like planned and most of time ends in utter failure. Most of the proposed systems are rather logical. If 9 is the desired outcome you just add the appropriate amount to the given number and voila 9. The problem is that when you add people it's more like you have an orange, a 2, and a rock. If 9 is still the desired amount what do you add now?

Ditto.

Like I said. community trust and behaviour like this is more common than most believe. You can even see it portrayed in tv shows and movies. That "small town feel" is essentially what we're talking about. Low population size combined with similar if not identical cultural values lead that increased trust and behaviour. This ^ just makes for an easy example because of how homogeneous the Scandinavian countries are.

I want to be upfront this has nothing to do with "race" and everything to do with cultural diversity. It's kind of an unfortunate issue. Societies with multiple cultures tend to have higher crime rates. Societies where the majority of people come from or subscribe to the same culture have less. People inherently place less value on things not of their culture. This can be overcome through a variety of means but it is something that has to be overcome.
The "little ethnic diversity" come into play because there is just that. Scandinavian countries have very little ethnic diversity compared to other European countries. This is especially prevalent outside of the larger cities.

You can only add them if you edit a comment.

Ah thanks, yeah I didn't bother to google it. But now you've raised by interest in it to the point where I had to see where it came from. The best part is that the word got its start on reddit. It's been shortened from mid-witted coined in a 2012 article and first used in a meme on Jan. 1 2017. https://en.meming.world/wiki/Midwit

Did you mean nitwit? I've never heard or seen the word midwit.

Where there's a whip, there's a way.
