Wow, my youtube BREAKING NEWS and my phone's push notifications are showing me the same 'A CRAZY GROEN-LINKS Member of Parliament was just ARRESTED' notification of three different outlets. Did he kill someone because I refuse to click the links.

I do not stand with the farmers. Also both Geert and Baudet should be shot out of a canon into the sun. Thanks for listening. E: Also the farmers seem really surprised not everyone is on their side. They seem to think 90% of the population are pulling for them so when they get flipped off it's a lol.

My prime minister (Rutte, the Netherlands) is such a piece of poo poo holy gently caress. We need to save the flower industry and need help from the EU. But we, no, we're not going to pull out extra money to help the Southern EU members let's not go crazy. The one time where coming together and helping people is absolutely necessary and he does this poo poo.

Rutte is the shittiest piece of poo poo, but he's also the most recent in a long line of poo poo. Just a great big brown line of political diarreah for years. And the fact is that there are more and worse pieces of poo poo waiting in the wings to take the reins from him. And honestly, the reason why people think he's handling it admirably is because at the moment he has Italy to point at as 'at least I'm keeping you from being them'. I'm just hoping the longer this holds and the more the Netherlands unravels (especially when South and North-Holland actually get hit with Brabant levels of the 'roni) people see him for the piece of poo poo that he is.

Welp, voting in the Netherlands tomorrow and all polls are predicting a surge rightward and a shrinking of the left. I know, who trust polls in 2021 but I'm more then ready to believe in the shittiness of my countrymen. We've had a rightwing Gov for 10 years, by all metrics they've done nothing but gently caress up and people are going to reward them with more power.

However, I've never been comfortable with GroenLinks' elitist air and I'm furious with SP for cutting ROOD loose and for clinging to the Marijnissen family. I just hope we can have a leftist block stopping the most heinous things Rutte and his friends in the far right want to do...

The trouble I have, and I know that it's a very selfish viewpoint, is that I can't just be happy with my own leftist vote. I feel inexorably sad and angry about all the votes that are going to FvD and PVV, when I can't do anything about those votes beyond the people I talk to. It eats at me and it's not healthy.

JordanKai posted:Sure seems like that. I guess a lot of people agree with D66’s platform of “poor people are suffering the exact right amount.” My sister and brother were saying D66 was the most environmentally focused party they could vote for. And I was like...just vote left instead...but I'm the weird but lovable lefty cook in their eyes so that fell on deaf ears. Honestly, PVV losing seats makes me really happy and I hope Wilders tries to eat Baudet.

It actually looks like some old SP (socialist party) voters went for the FvD, holy crap. Is that protest voters, or just like...floating voters? I don't see how you can call yourself left and vote for racists.

Orange Devil posted:A good couple hundred thousand voters constantly float between SP and PVV. And now apparently also FvD? They vote for whoever they see as the most anti-system I think. And yes, these are mostly people who want things to be fairer economically but also believe non-white people need to shut up about racism. Ugh, any good books I can read about this or articles? I sometimes get the feeling I have a too...rosy? view of the left and think we're all in it for the good of all people. I am now extra glad I went for Bij1 instead of SP, the colour of someone's skin shouldn't matter but it's really annoying that it does.

spankmeister posted:what the gently caress are you talking about? there were mostly lorries/semi's and tractors at the protest. hardly anyone drives pickups here. Sorry dude, I guess I let my own bias get to me. I think it's easier for me to believe real truckers would be too busy for this kind of stuff so when I saw a picture of a pick-up I must have conflated it. And I do know what astroturfing means, but I just don't know at this point if the organizers saw the kid glove treatment in Canada and thought now is our time or if it's completely inorganic. Again, I'm sorry. An insane mind has issued a correction as of 11:07 on Feb 15, 2022 |
