Whilst not denying it, this is a very Dutch argument: yea, we're a bit shitty, but not as shitty as the other guy!

I loved my time in the Netherlands. I'd love to go back. But I think it's good to be eyes-wide-open about things. What I read about Denmark is not dissimilar: hugely tolerant as long as you put your dustbin out with the handle the right way round on the right day, at the right time. Otherwise, you're in for a fight.

Oliebollen forever!



For me it comes from Asian anti-utopianism. “No point getting so worked up about the way humans just are.”
