Nobody said we shouldn't. The point is, we shouldn't look away from the issues in a country just because they are doing better than others in some cases.
It means that when people advocate for improvements, YOU SHOULD STOP IMMEDIATELY PLAYING CRAB BUCKET.
Let better be better and then sure raise some issues. Your comment seems intentionally obtuse.
...your argument is that we literally should not criticize ideas until they're actually implemented and proven to be lacking? How does one establish that something is better without open critique?
I think it speaks more to who you are as a pwrson that your first reaction is to criticize an idea.
Negativity begets negativity. I choose to look for positivity and hope first, and criticize later.
You're seeing a motivation behind my comment that isn't there, so you really shouldn't call me obtuse. Is Norway doing pretty good? Yes! Could they also do better? Yes! I'm not playing crab bucket, but I'm also not sticking my head in the sand here.
Maybe next time open with the "pretty good" stuff. Before this comment everything cooking was negative which sure looks like crab bucket (not just from you, but also from you) and I'm still leaning toward obtuse by omission tbh.
I'm sorry I didn't spoon feed my comment for you, mister obtuse.
I forgive you.
