We have a lot in common, but failed to learn what Germany did regarding Nazism.
We have made a very AFD like party part of the government twice(-ish), let the same guy make criminal statenents, yet never took action to make sure it does not get further than that.

The Netherlands is a country of merchants and marketeers, which dates from centuries back. They do what is profitable or the lowest cost.
The Netherlands never was a liberal country. It marketed itself as such. It was progressive, if that progressivism meant profit.

We are currently a country overrun by elderly. They are everywhere, and because there are so many, they get to make the rules and use that power to grab even more money than they already have. They keep living in way too large houses so that the younger generations can’t get their own place to live. Hooray for dutch democracy.

So many people are unaware of how good the Netherlands still is and their voting means a slow tearing up of that. Quite a few mayor political problems not getting solved because of that. Still being proud of being progressive but in reality getting more and more conservative, even a bit regressive.
But for the moment still a fantastic country.
Germany as well btw, but your bureaucracy is holding you guys back.
