As a European I am always baffled by how normalized throwing fists is in the US. I've never witnessed a real fight my whole life and I don't known anyone who ever did, it's just so rare.

It may vary by region. I don't think I've ever seen a fight in the US. I'm sure someone I've known at some point probably has witnessed one, but I doubt I could pick them out of a lineup.

Which part of Europe do you live in?

Germany

That explains it. My country borders yours to the east and I have been in/seen many fistfights.

Its still the Wild West. You think they'd be more reserved without healthcare for free
