"Specifically, what prevents 100% of the dutch from adopting the "toil-free life"?"

It's that little itch some of us experience called a work ethic.

"Dutch tolerance may become its own victim...." What a powerful observation - and true everywhere.

Leftists misuse the word "tolerance." What they really mean is a dissolution of standards expectations and boundaries. By its use, it is clear these self-deluded degenerates actually believe that "tolerance" is a high virtue. In fact, it is doubtful whether tolerance, as used, is a virtue at all.
