Notes
[←1 ]
‘Oikophobia’ as defined in Wolfheze, Sunset, 194.
[←2 ]
This is the motto of the Dutch province of Zeeland, referring to its constant struggle against the sea.
[←3 ]
Commonly referred to as ‘Dutch courage’ by English participants in the Anglo-Dutch Wars.
[←4 ]
The dams, dikes and polders of a former inlet of the North Sea called the Zuiderzee.
[←5 ]
The dams, levees and storm surge barriers around the Rhine-Meuse-Scheldt delta.
[←6 ]
A term recently introduced into Dutch public discourse by Thierry Baudet, leader of the new parliamentary party Forum for Democracy.
[←7 ]
Terminology wrongfully ascribed to Thierry Baudet by the politically correct Dutch media.
[←8 ]
An indirect reference to the title of the 1995 work De verweesde samenleving, ‘An Orphaned Society’, by assassinated Dutch patriotic leader Pim Fortuyn.
[←9 ]
A reference to PM Mark Rutte, a.k.a. ‘Mister Tefal’.
[←10 ]
A politically correct euphemism for the non-ethnically Dutch residents of the Netherlands.
[←11 ]
A reference to the new semi-American education funding system that came into full force in 2017.
[←12 ]
A reference to the ‘progressive’ pioneering role that Holland was supposed to play in the international arena during the ‘Social Justice Warrior’ government of PM Den Uyl between 1973–77.
[←13 ]
A reference to the Social Justice Warrior elite inhabiting the fashionable inner city district of Amsterdam.
[←14 ]
A term used by patriotic opposition leader Geert Wilders to indicate the fenced-off seats of the government in the House of Representative.
[←15 ]
An ancient office still existing in the Netherlands, approximately equivalent in rank to a mayor or provincial King’s Commissioner.
[←16 ]
Slightly raised dry and infertile landforms, usually adjoining the marshlands; the Dutch word geest is popularly associated with the homophone word for ‘ghost’.
[←17 ]
The famous Dutch flower fields, including the well-known tourist attraction Keukenhof, are concentrated in the transitional region between the sand of the dunes and the clay of the low-lying pastures.
[←18 ]
References to, respectively, the Eighty Years’ (or: Dutch Independence) War (1568–1648), the Second Anglo-Dutch War (1665–67) and the Franco-Dutch War (1672–78).
[←19 ]
In the wake of the French Revolution the Netherlands were conquered by the First French Republic and annexed by Napoleon, but restored by
the Vienna Congress. In 1848 a domestic constitutional compromise saved the Netherlands from revolution and civil war. During the First World War the Netherlands managed to maintain neutrality.
[←20 ]
References to, respectively, the 1944 Benelux union, the 1949 NATO alliance and the 1949 independence of Indonesia. It should be noted that Indonesian independence was a result of pressure by Holland’s ‘ally’ America. The Netherlands lost its New Guinea colony for the same reason in 1962.
[←21 ]
In 1964 and 1969 the borders were formally opened to Turkish and Moroccan ‘guest labourers’, many of whom were undesirables, who were deliberately ‘exported’ by their government.
[←22 ]
There are around 350,000 native speakers of Frisian, while the most conservative estimates put the numbers of Moroccan and Turkish residents at around 370,000 and 400,000 respectively.
[←23 ]
A reference to the assassination of patriotic leader Pim Fortuyn on 6 May 2002, nine days before the parliamentary elections he was widely expected to win. The assassin was officially identified as a lone-wolf Social Justice Warrior, but various conspiracy theories continue to blame the Dutch political establishment for the conveniently timely elimination of the threat that Pim Fortuyn represented to the status quo. The Dutch people referred to him with the sobriquets of Onze Pim, or ‘Our Pim’, as well as by his academic title ‘Professor’.
[←24 ]
The term ‘purple’ refers to the grand political coalition of ‘red’ social democrats and ‘blue’ neo-liberals that ruled the Netherlands from 1994 to 2002.
[←25 ]
A reference to the semi-legal assistance that the Dutch ‘churches’ render to fraudulent ‘refugees’ who have been refused asylum status, but whose continued residence is effectively ‘tolerated’ by the government. This practice is politically encouraged not only by the ‘progressive’ parliamentary block of Social Justice Warrior parties, but also by the ‘Christian’ parties of the present coalition government (the junior partners — CDA and CU).
