Dutch are smart. While the local Muslims do openly hate and beat LGBT people, just like the Russians, Netherlands looks somewhat different from Russia and Ukraine. For example, in the former USSR countries, electricity carrying lines all go through the air, but in Netherlands all electricity goes under the ground. That makes the landscape less like the socialist dystopia, while at the same time reduces the danger of somebody getting electrocuted, if the electric cable falls onto the ground, or if a helicopter or a drone crashes into the electric grid, which happens during a foggy weather, where a thin cable goes unseen by the pilot.
Rain water also quickly gets underground, because both pederstrian and car roads are made with a slight convex curve, so water doesn't stay on the road, but escapes into the ditch and and then into the channel, where it belongs. In addition, water carries out all the dirt with it, making roads much cleaner than the average Russian house interior. That is compared to Russia, where all roads have the opposite - concave curve, preventing the water from escaping for months, until it evaporates or freezes, creating the ice danger.
Dutch are smart at city engineering, and can achieve a lot with very little effort put at the right place.
Dutch are also smart in the way they tackle the LGBT issue. Compared to openly hostile Russia and Ukraine, Dutch approach is a rather non-direct and avoids confrontation with transgender people. I've already mentioned, that Dutch have enormously long wait times, which are intended to dissuade the people from actually breaking the gender norms by beginning HRT. Now Dutch are also trying to subvert the entire revolutionary part of the LGBT discourse by hiring these influencers among the LGBT. For example, Dutch and other "smarter" countries now push this idea that young people don't need to change their gender, because the entire concept of gender is "obsolete", and therefore by wanting to be girls, transgender people act counter-revolutionary and participate in body-shaming. Instead transgenders must accept their nature, their male genitals, their toxic testosterone and their body hair.
So the Dutch is this Devil, who paves the road to Hell with "good" intentions, trying to control the people like it controls the water, with a system of dikes. "Preacher likes the cold."
