Stop lying. I live next to Rotterdam, there are bad neighbourhoods but no no-go zones. But I’m sure a tourist of a week knows the place better than I do.
Also, I love that you keep going out of your way to call the Netherlands a narco state since you found out I live there, even though it isn’t producing the desired effect. You literally cannot make a point without trying to insult someone in the process, and you don’t care to be divorced from reality to do it.

Claims that The Netherlands are a narco state are defensible though. We are one of, perhaps even the, largest producers of synthetic drugs on the planet. The "mocro maffia" earns billions; the shadow economy of the Netherlands is enormous.
A narco state is not just a country that produces drugs, though. In a narco state, the drug producers have control over all parts of the government, having completely corrupted its institutions with bribes and threats of violence. In a narco state, there isn't only violence between different gangs, but also a war-like footing between gangs and the government. The assassination of Dirk Wiersum was a travesty, but a rare one. In a narco state, people like him are gunned down every week. The Dutch government has total control over its institutions, however, so calling it a narco state would be way off. There is a drug problem, but a drug problem does not a narco state make.

Why wouldn't I call something by it's true name? It's not my fault you live in a narco state yet insist on lecturing to the rest of us about your human rights as lawyers are gunned down in the streets by gangs. Maybe you shouldn't be so blatantly hypocritical? Yes Rotterdam is a shithole, news at 7. We have Detroit.

The BBC said you are basically one. Your government is so weak and pathetic, they don't need to bomb city blocs like Esobar, people like you already surrendered. Then again the Dutch government structure isn't known for strength, we saw how much strength they showed in Bosnia afterall. Perhaps we should known they'd let the drug lord's and human traffickers run the show so long they can lecture Portugal on its budget deficit and larp about human rights matters.

I always was under the impression you were an former student of international law living in Glasgow who in lieu of finding a job in his discipline had to enter the kebab business.
Either as clerk, franchise taker or as entrepreneur himself.

The Netherlands is not a narco state. The level of violence and corruption needed to call a nation by that term isn't there.
Venezuela is a narco state. Mexico is a narco state. Colombia is a narco state. America may or may not be a narco state. The Netherlands isn't. The closest country in Europe that might be a narco state is Albania.

You don't need high levels of open violence to be a narco state.

Yeah, police here are always predicting that the Netherlands will slide into some sort of criminal anarchy. This week, it's drugs. Next week, it'll be financial crimes. The week after, it'll be IT. In the end, the police always ask for more funds, more and deadlier weapons, and expanded powers. I would take police warnings in the Netherlands with a grain of salt, because they have a history of very much trying to influence Dutch politics as an institution.

Idk man, if you're continually getting these warnings maybe your country actually is becoming a crime infested hellhole and it's not just a police conspiracy. You shouldn't aspire to be like the southside of Chicago, people giving up on reporting crimes and police not responding to them leads to nothing but tragedy.

Because it is a narco-state. Your own police services have admitted as much. Just because it doesn't have the crime of Mexico, doesn't mean it isn't a narco-state. Panama under Noriega wasn't Mexico tier either in terms of violence but it was still a narco-state. It's fueling a lot of the more legitimate aspects of the Dutch economy and has for a long time because most Dutch politicians are either too stupid, too naive, too weak or some combination thereof to do anything about it. Even if you aren't one yet, you'll be one before the decade is out if things continue.

I have talked about all of these points already, so I'll just point that out and be done with it.

Yes I see you opted to just go "Well they're wrong". Maybe if the Netherlands keeps getting these kinds of warnings and starts slowly actually seeing the kinds of things that happen in Mexico, such as severed heads being left out on full display or lawyers being openly gunned down by gangsters, it's time to start taking them seriously.
