      Definitely not the Netherlands, we’ve got a terrible case of American-style individualist brain-rot

      Union membership rates in the Netherlands are like 10% only. Ever since the end of ‘Pillarisation’ we’ve been mostly individualist. The only real exceptions are religious communities and local sports clubs.

      We’ll need a massive cultural change first to make people care about their fellow citizens again. We’re too alienated.

      I think Denmark has a much better chance, because their society favours collectivism a lot more. But then again Danish society has its own issues of course
