  • Yeah he is. Campaigned for a Nexit at one point. Didn't get that much traction tbh.

    He has been proxy governing The Netherlands for the last year and pulled out of the government a few weeks ago because he found the government was too lenient on migration. Which is funny because he appointed the migration minister. Proper fascist shit he is.

    My hometown is a heavy working class city so I'm guessing he wants to show himself to his voter base. Hope we show him what working class actually means.

  • Lmao Dutch Fรผrher Geert Wilders is coming to my Dutch hometown soon for some anti migration bullshit

    Contemplating going to it for shits and giggles

  • And then you have lunatics like Amsterdam who have organised a festival on the city's highway and won't call it off. Have fun partying on fucking asphalt in 32 degree weather with full sun.

  • We really need to reinvent cities in Belgium and The Netherlands as it's only becoming hotter and drier for the next few years. Absolutely scorching sun right now but everything is traditionally build to keep the warmth in. Not nearly enough greenery as needed. And as a result we're getting wrecked by the heat.

    Some of my inner city hasn't got a proper park nearby for miles. Only concrete squares but they trap heat even more.

  • Thought I'd share some more light hearted news as a man walking his dog near a Belgian body of water yesterday found a Caiman wandering around and now a big search has been set up lol. They assume it is released by someone but otherwise climate change is taking up some really drastic forms.

  • Oh no it's still shit. It's neolib mixed with Flemish nationalism. But he thinks this way because years ago he visited Israel and got to see how Palestinians were living and how they were treated and that radicalized him when it comes to Gaza.

    Which shows that he at least has some integrity. He is pushing his party to take action and as some sort of last resort has now decided to go on live shows to talk about it.

  • A very prominent figure in the Belgian neolib party (the ruling one) got on tv to talk about Gaza. He called Israel an apartheid State and he says that Palestinians have no other option than to die, live under oppression or flee. He even went as far as to say that if he were born in Gaza he himself would have become a terrorist to fight Israel. He says Israel is one of the worst disgraces of the century.

    Now, I was blown away by this. This is even more harsh words than our party leaders use on tv. Like, fuck me man I 100% agree.

    And this all goes directly against his own party's stance too.

  • It's a Jewish boy and I can't believe I'm saying this but this was bound to happen, police or someone else. The Jewish district is a danger traffic wise. Just today I nearly hit three kids myself who cross the road without looking, even through a red light. I ride my bike there daily and every single day I wonder if someone gets killed. Complete chaos and everyone ignores the traffic rules or exist solely in their own world it seems.

    One of my clients actually saw it happen in her way to our office. She said the police car was driving with lights and sirens but the boy just randomly wandered onto the road, far from pedestrian crossing from in between parked cars.

    I don't want to blame the kid because that just seems wrong but sooner or later this was bound to happen. Absolute tragedy.

  • Days after a dude killed a completely random person on a bus in my city another person attacked random people with a hammer. This time I was actually near it. Idk what's happening but this city is on a shithole speedrun lately.

  • Got a message from the Dutch railroad company gaslighting about the strike, saying it is their duty to keep The Netherlands available to everyone for a good price.

    It's literally cheaper to fly from my home town to Ibiza and from Ibiza to Amsterdam than it is to take the 1.5 hour train if I plan far enough in advance.

  • Somebody just got their throat slid on a bus in my city and died. Sometimes I wonder why I bother living in a city.

  • A Dutch pro Israel org send out a tweet asking where the protests against Iran are, calling them a terrorist state that is targeting civilians. Satire is now officially dead. You can't top this.

  • Every morning I play Disco Inferno and watch images of Israel burning

    Apart from the main thing: next week we will have another general strike against our government. It's the 7th month in a row that we are striking now and we won't stop anytime soon

  • Spent my afternoon chilling in a park in the city. People just hanging around, sharing some drinks, some food. Some people started a random Zumba class with music there. Just peaceful. Why can't life always be like this? Just chilling with eachother.

    The park is in the middle of the Jewish district and it's interesting to see, visibly, the way the community works out its internal contradictions. There is an increase of Jewish people stepping away from the ultra conservatism that is prevalent. And all the while there is no external pressure on them to do so.

  • Looking at US football (s*ccer) ultras I unironically think they have left wing organised potential lol

  • It feels like I'm rediscovering my life a bit lately. I have been really outgoing, even initiating stuff. I noticed just now how I have been kinda avoiding that for the past year or two. Maybe my mental health wasn't in such a good place after all.

    Not really sure what changed exactly. But I'm glad it did.

    City hall was flying an Israeli flag today and people rightfully got mad about it. Hope they, or someone, takes it down asap.

  • Good for you, genocide empire heiress
