Probably

And it’s not just poor people who are those leeches either…

Which is it? You just said we’d hate how progressive it is, now you’re saying it’s probably culture, not government, that leads to more equal outcomes.

It's not like America's white population is particularly safe either.

You guys are acting like American whites are particularly safe.

Table 11 on page 3.

American whites have a homicide offending rate of 4.5 per 100,000.

UK's homicide rate was 1 per 100,000 people. Similar figures for other European countries.

Smaller, less diverse countries are easier to govern in the first place.

Economic class is the best determinant of criminal activity, but I don't think thats what you were referring to.

You mean to tell me a mostly homogenous society that shares similar values gets along? Who knew?!?

Its because we have so many guns.

Not that guns are even inherently unsafe, its that the number of people willing to shoot someone is a lot larger than the number willing to stab someone to death.

North Dakota had a murder rate of "2" in around '08...

2 domestic murders, I could never guess why?

It's harder to stab people to death...

And as I've lived there back in the 90s, the occasional death by illness domestics or other "accident" never stir up any issues for belligerents.

You really should have interjected yourself into the conversation and asked them what the demographics of the country are. Of course you might have had to tell them what the word demographic means.

I really wish people would stop talking about Iceland and how nice it is. That's just a queue for the NWO to try to "culturally enrich" it.


With all the supply chain issues, I'm not sure it's feasible at this time to import a couple dozen shipping containers of murder

America's stabbing rate is higher than the UK's.

There were more knife homicides in the US per 100,000 than the UK.

While I haven't found the data, I suspect US stabbing rates among whites is still going to be higher than the UK's stabbing rates among whites. American whites are still pretty violent compared to most of Europe, it's just that the Black population makes them look less violent.

Could you expand on that?

Both governments and culture can be progressive.

Not only is it 100% white, but it's pretty much ethnically pure-- nearly all modern Icelanders are descendants of Vikings and their Irish captives who arrived on the island in the 10th century AD.

100% correct here. They have shared the same societal and cultural values for centuries. There is a common understanding between all Icelandic people as to what they deem acceptable and what they don't. They all operate under the same set of standards and "rules" much unlike the melting pot that is America. We could never replicate their societal structure and values on a large scale here for what it's worth, so anyone trying to use iceland, or any of the Scandinavian countries, as an example to follow isn't being realistic.

I was there in late October of last year. Stayed in Reykjavik for 4 days and Vik for 3. Never saw a uniformed police officer. Hell, their Prime Ministers house or office, can't remember which one, is directly on a main street in Reykjavik with no fencing or walls around it and his car parked directly on the street in front. They are very liberal/progressive leaning especially when it comes to climate activism, clean energy, and social issues. I was completely mind-fricked at how rational and accepting they were for being so "progressive" as it just works in their culture. American progressives need to take a trip there and learn some things.
