Yeah but then you need something that people seem to get upset over.

Culture.

And that doesn’t mean getting stoned or acting weird or being narcissistic af, but having some basic moral and virtuous behavior.

You see old people come out and start cleaning the stairs after a rain. I saw it first hand and thought wow this would never happen in the US. You see people get in line and let the people onboard the train out before going in. Not gonna happen in the US. You can drink alcohol outside but in the US people would just be drunks everywhere and trash the place. And they trash the place without drinking.

So no.

You can’t replicate that sort of dynamic without people acting a certain way. Basic decency would be a good start.
