MODERATORS
It's the typical phrasing of social pressures to not stand out in Scandinavia, drawing from a book where the author phrases the "rules" somewhat as a legal code. Tall poppy syndrome is an overlapping idea that might be more familiar to English speakers.
Googling tall poppy syndrome brings up that it's mostly a nz/aus thing. I've never heard of that in the states. In the wiki article it mentions there's a Japanese saying that goes "the nail that sticks up gets hammered down," which I have heard.
