Abstract
The post 2008 European national state is best characterised by one term: political polarisation. In this paper, the mentalities behind the growing divisions between various social groups are explored through the use of a Danish grassroots movement as an example. The paper examines the group called Venligboerne, an activist Facebook group, and the extent to which they are the result of growing political divisions in Denmark. The findings are that groups of this sort as well as their reactionaries, in form of the growing nationalist right-wing movements, share the same precarious relationship to the labour market. The two conflicting mentalities are both reactions to the same reality, and therefore valuable policies could potentially arise from acceptance and compromise, rather than outright dismissal from the outset.
