| Content of slogan editorial: | Amsterdam is one of the largest cities in the Netherlands. A lot of people hide in the anonymous mass of a large city. Not only criminals and drug addicts, but also people who are too lazy to earn their own living in a honest and decent way.
Social Democratic Holland has many laws and arrangements to protect the weak and poor. But since the Flower Power Generation introduced the attitude of Fuck-The-Authorities and Free-For-All, hundredthousands people have abused this system over the past 30 years. By concealing their life in a anonymous city, they do not have to take responsibility for their own deeds.
It so happens that this attitude has led to overcompensation by Local Authorities in the Seventies and Eighties: to win the votes of citizens, local (leftwinged) politicians have promised the poor certain privileges on top of their unemployment benefits etc. Many public servants have a job in upholding the social security system by distributing all kinds of subsidies. Both parties have become dependent on each other. A large group of people take financial support from politians and public servants for granted. And certain politicians and public servants owe their jobs to voters who expect all kinds of allowances. This exorbitant phenomenon has especially been instigated by the sickly overcultivated elite who perceive themselves as benefactors.
This extravagant symptom is another example of a SocioCybernetic Feedback loop. This feedback loop keeps itself alive and causes a large critical mass of economical rot: the working class unknowingly has to feed the mouths of more and more Social Parasites by means of untransparent dissipation of funds.
This phenomenon of sickly overcultivation has infiltrated society on a large scale, as hundred thousands of people on all economical levels profit from this misappropriation of financial aid. It is an example of built in socialdemocratic corruptness on a macroscopic level, in stead of individual corruptness on a microscopic level of society as seen in poor countries.
Nowadays, one does not even know how one's neighbour earns his money, especially in a city. Thus, people can live an obscure life without taxpayers knowing where their money is spent on. The Government even offers settlements for people to take their benefits abroad. So some clandestine people live happily off the taxpayer's back in an exotic country for the rest of their lives! Some even receive Child Allowances to start a family in another country, thus subsidized by Dutch taxpayers.
So, while in Third World countries people are starving because of lack of social security, in Holland you have the opposite problem: the arrangements are so luxurious that many people live off the system, and only a few are willing to work for a living.
Eventually, the real poor and weak will become victim of this idiocy when Human OverPopulation becomes a threat to spoilt society. A healthy society should find the correct balance between helping the poor and weak on the one hand, and stopping sneaky misuse of the system on the other hand.
Thus, government should provide chances for everyone to earn their living in an honest and decent way.
