Re: The problem isn't ideologies spreading on the Internet
Denmark (where I was born) also has a relatively homogenous population (has been described as a tribe) which tends to give a high level of trust and thereby acceptance of high taxation. Also, power distance is low.
In DK the state is seen as "us" - it is still our money. Here in Portugal it is "their" money - when you pay tax it is lost and not in any way linked to what you get in services (that is how it is seen). Power distance is high, politicians are "not" the ones we elect to take care of our money.
The pattern is fraying in DK, immigration and benefit abuse has put pressure on it.
