If only we knew the demographic causing such an experience!

When I say "things will get worse," it's not because I'm a doomer (translate as "how Liberals say 'You're too emotional!'" without having to say it), but because that is what the trajectory of the past 20 years of history has shown us. It's just a more-than-likely opinion.

The new "Centrist" Dutch minority government thinks that budgets can be balanced by cutting healthcare and social security. I can feel the "Centrism" washing over me already. The Dutch are, like my fellow Americans, having their racism and xenophobia weaponized against them by the wealthy class.

A great thread regarding the opinion (and treatment) of immigrants in The Netherlands.

Absolutely eugenicists.

I think we're witnessing a Fall of Art that will be equally devastating as any that has occurred during history. This time is different: it's not from a *LOSS* of skill among the artists, it's from a desire among the elite to *KILL* skill. Which will also eventually result in a *LOSS* of skill.

If there's one way to piss of Citizens its to have the Nation State treat them like it treats Immigrants. People *know* they live in a there-are-two-qaulties-of-humans tier system and they *know* they are the upper tier, not the lower tier, thank-you-very-much!

The catastrophic impacts were the point. No need to pretend that these racists aren't evil. Taking the words of fascists has having any meaning other than, "I want more power. I want you to have less power" is a problem honest people have. Fascists don't speak, they intend.

It's amazing how many people refuse to accept that the word "immigrant" has been mostly transformed into an acceptable way of expressing racism over the past half-decade/decade. When so many people say "immigrant" they mean "non-white" and that includes native, citizen non-whites.

"Afraid of AI? The robot didn't steal our jobs either." "The West needs to invest significantly more in labor-saving technologies like robots and AI. The promised increase in productivity is desperately needed" The robot does steal jobs and the Owners steal the results of increased productivity.

For all my Dutchie friends, the cloud services provider for DigiD, the MijnOverheid portal, and the justice ministry is now run by a subject-to-American-law company. This is why you don't CAPITALISM your infrastructure, particularly national security. You own your shit or you do not own your shit.

Here's to all the New Yorkers leaving New York due to the election results!

Rate of undescended testicles in Finnish babies has about doubled from pre-Covid levels.

It takes practical skills to know how to survive. It takes practical skills to determine for what purpose you survive.

When criticism of Capitalism is verboten, something else is always mis-blamed for the problems it creates.

Remember folks, if you see someone stealing food, no you didn't.

As was the case in the USA, in NL shopping at 'ethnic' markets tends to be a lot cheaper than the mainstream grocery stories. Example: Today my wife came back from our local 'ethnic' grocery with a whole chicken (1.3kg) for only 6 euros. (about 1/2 price to our local AH).

Sure, Jan.

Mysterious.

Only idiots think the VVD in The Netherlands is a "centrist" party anymore.

I can't tell you how often I want to take a walk around my neighborhood but am blocked by all those damn praying Muslims! Netherlands is for the expats, not the Muslims!

For my Dutch friends, note that the CDA finds it easier to work with the VVD who worked *with* the PVV and BBB than they'd find it to work with GroenLinks-PvdA who won't work with the PVV or the BBB. In case you were *still* wondering which way the CDA lean.

Sick leave is up, you say?

Judicial systems always seem quick to tell striking workers in critical industries that they can't stop working *now* , but never seem to tell companies in critical industries that they must pay struck workers more to get them back to work *now*. Capital capture of the Judiciary

This is a great example of the evils of modern media.

I really wish I had the editing skills to replace the Nazi flag in this gif with all the other types of Nazi flags.

It's astonishing how tasty some plain white rice with kimchi is.

"Integration" of an immigrant occurs when natives *stops caring* that the immigrant has a different background or different behaviors and treats then as no different than anyone else. "Integration" isn't something an immigrant can do if the natives never stop caring about those differences.

This is why the right-wing constantly hammers on about how unfairly they're treated. The "Great Victim" narrative is integral to ensure their preferential treatment.

Part of journalism requires clearly communicating what an article is about in the headline. "Attempt to hang Nazi version of Dutch flag on D66 office in The Hague" is a much better title. nltimes.nl/2025/10/03/a...

Most people don't realize they spend nearly their whole life existing in anti-democratic systems: family, school, religion, work. Almost no structures that people interact within provide them a voice that is equal to other voices.
