Well, based on what I’ve read, - the “Dutch disease” is already a common term, and in this case ASML is like oil, they mostly employ foreign nationals and don’t contribute much to Netherlands’ education system or anything, but bring revenue.

Anyway, doesn’t seem to be anything specific to any specific country, it’s just that the kind of people who want to do this, can. Spirit of the time.

At the same time please remember how there were excuses all over the place to do such things against “far right”, that not being formulated as literal Nazis. Any kind of law-abiding conservatives (that is possible) have been pressed out from acceptable public discourse, so only trash that doesn’t care remains.

I mean, OK, shouldn’t really blame the public, of what I remember, that concept of what is “far right” and “toxic” and unfit for humanity was mostly a corporate policy in 2010s, so the very same people. The worst decade for public discourse honestly, I’ve recently realized that I’ve just forgotten how bad that really was, the stage of humanity where the most respectable and trendy people are teenage wh*res in Instagram and corporate shills in corporate ads.

And It’s important to remember this, feedbacks work, it’s better now. The wheels of history turn slowly and all that.
