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
I didn’t think Dutch individualism would be this much visible when I went there, I still think they do a lot of great things (especially in transportation or in urbanism) but yeah, I didn’t like the vibe at all.
The Netherlands maybe? They already got the bicycle thing.
