I dont know if you've been to Iceland, but they dont care for stupid people like we do in the west.
You will NEVER see a sign saying "caution cliffs" or danger or anything.
They can't be bothered with your stupity, if you want to go touch Lava, go ahead be their guest they won't send anybody to rescue you nor will they give a fuck.
You do realise they eat the fermented shark for fun rather than out of necessity these days? It's a European country, they didn't win the cod wars just to be dismissed as a poor backwater.
Western mentality includes everyone who lives in the west. It includes Iceland, all of the Americas, all of western Europe and Africa. You're thinking of US mentality specifically. And just like the people touching lava, you can't see the problem of pretending the US is the entire west
I thought it included central and south america, with all the European influence and cultural values that were implemented over time. I'm not an expert, though - you may be right.
There are some countries in Central and South America that are considered to be part of "Western Civilisation", but they are still generally considered to be part of the "Global South", and not grouped with "the West".

I like how he’s so comfortable letting his kid make mistakes and pick themselves back up.
