As an institutional matter, it is decreasing by leaps and bounds. As a personal matter, I feel it is decreasing on the surface moderately.

I think people will always have their prejudices, just because there will always be out groups, but society will continue to view it as more and more unacceptable, so prejudiced people will have to keep their feelings to themselves.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

I believe here in Holland it is ever so slightly on the increase. The free thinking mentality brought to us by the 1960s is gradually eroding.  From youth upwards, the polarization seems sharper than it used to be. Society is hardening overall.

As a non-western foreigner its harder to get a job, there are more homophobic incidents and what the USA has with the neoconservatives we have with the Nieuw Rechts (New Rightwing) movement.

People used to :shrug: on pot, but nowadays the police is coming down hard on pot-growers, even smalltime ops.

Holland used to be 50/50 leftwing/rightwing. Now literally 2/3 voted rightwing and on the whole people have become more extreme about it. Extreme nationalism is rearing its ugly head among the young.

It's decreasing like the value of a house when a black family moves in next door.
