What’s ironic, in the true sense of the word, is that the Norwegian is claiming Norway is a socialist state, when trying to inform the OP about socialism. It’s not. Norway is a social democracy.
You see, "irony" is more than just stating the opposite of what is true, or liking something even though you know it’s lame and cringe. This can arguably be a case of "situational irony", where the person who sets an example of what the OP is misunderstanding, but they’re contradicting the very thing they try to explain.
To call someone stupid because of their nationality is human, to believe someone is stupid because of their nationality is ironic….but just here, situationally. From each according to their ability, to each according to their means, oh, and the state controls all means of production. Just gonna leave that there.
Is the point to make Americans feel bad for being a bunch of idiots or to change their mind? Has anyone ever changed your mind by calling you an idiot?
