Uitstekend van Lubach. Vond dat in China ook een totaal bevreemdende ervaring: alle verkeer zoeft geruisloos voorbij. Maar hier is 2035 nog te vroeg. Het is neoliberale lethargie. Dit is waar links een program zou moeten hebben dat controle over de economie neemt.

De eindstand is dat het meest extreemrechtse kabinet sinds WOII niets voor elkaar heeft gekregen, behalve miljarden belastinggeld laten verdampen, het land onbestuurbaar gemaakt, racisme genormaliseerd en alle crises verder verdiept. En toch blijft het zetelaantal voor extreemrechts nagenoeg gelijk.
