I'm not necessarily in disagreement with them, if the only alternative is the apocalyptic fixation with "immigration" (often coupled with conspiracy-theory about some Western cabal directing it all) I see from many at GOV.Hesperadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394374828751466705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29566846.post-84864388695159833112011-06-19T12:06:56.693-07:002011-06-19T12:06:56.693-07:00One thing I should mention: Hans Jansen is renowne...One thing I should mention: Hans Jansen is renowned in the Netherlands for his dry wit. In this particular column in Dutch, he used deliberately un-studious language, just to have fun with possible leftist commenters and opinion leaders. Hence the use of PI terms that probably annoy progressives, like "Third World" (deemed outdated), hence the deliberately childish reference to the kindergarten, resulting in a column that reads uncommonly "light" in Dutch. My challenge was to capture this tone and translate it for a different audience.<br /><br />Interesting difference: on the Dutch site, the discussion immediately focussed on the critique of leftism/progressivism, i.e. the self-defeating <i>cult of jealousy</i>, whereas on JW the upheaval was about innocent religions supposedly being attacked and then the prompt disclaimer by the site's editor in chief.<br /><br />Kind regs from Amsterdam,<br />Sag.Saguntohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757127844703829220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29566846.post-69752752207194020652011-06-19T11:52:08.144-07:002011-06-19T11:52:08.144-07:00Sagunto,

The commenter "Grey" I agree with, and mostly I would agree with Jansen's view of Third World cultures: though of course they are not uniformly "jealous" or fatalistic about theft as the underpinning of economy, that melange of attitudes is prevalent enough in non-Western cultures to make a cogent generalization. (Indeed, this could be one of the reasons why Islam has been able to spread (in terms of actual dominance) mostly only in Third World regions).Hesperadohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10394374828751466705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29566846.post-32121812458554212672011-06-19T11:45:38.457-07:002011-06-19T11:45:38.457-07:00Guess again.. ;-)Guess again.. ;-)Saguntohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09757127844703829220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29566846.post-42683064846865429982011-06-19T11:42:46.523-07:002011-06-19T11:42:46.523-07:00Thanks Sagunto.
