If we were to be charitable to the guy, and not just dunk on him, you could argue that the urban/rural divide has been made much more pronounced since the Neoliberal brainrot of the 1990s and 2000s set in. From what I gather, Denmark used to have significantly more manufacturing jobs as well as aggricultural jobs prior to 1980, which would have provided a way for people to make a living without needing to go to university. . So while the urban/rural divide certainly exist, it's been made much more pronounced since the introduction of the welfare state as a single concept in the popular conscience.
