In Finland, a conservative government including the far-right True Finns has launched a Margaret Thatcher–style attack on job security, unemployment benefits, and the right to strike. Trade unions are fighting to defend the country’s storied social model.

      I expect this will be the trend all across Europe given that there will be more pressure to increase military spending as countries go further into recession.

        The Netherlands has been steadily enshittifying for 20 years and counting with our liberal (in the European sense) government privatising everything they can get their hands on, and simultaneously taking away the social safety nets we were once so proud of. It sucks.
