My life is a mess yet I'm still more stable than most off you - 28 y/o man from the Netherlands.

I've seen you guys post about the Dutch farmer protests and I'd like to give you guys some extra context, most of you really don't know how bad shit has gotten in the Netherlands these past few years. I'll try to keep it short.

Our current vice-premier and minister of finance and WEF-member (and minster of foreign affairs in the past cabinet) Sigrid Kaag was in the past fired of her lesser position in foreign affairs because of perjury, turns out she was secretly married to Anis al-Qaq, the right-hand man of Yasser Arafat. Despite this she can not only just return to governing but leads the most progressive party of the Netherlands, D66. They got second place in the last election.

She has also send millions of our taxpayer money directly to hamas, repeatedly. There are also regular sex-schandals within the party, including silencing the victims.

Despite this she's a media darling. This has obviously nothing to do with the fact that our national broadcasting was led by a lady named Shula Rijxman for the past 6 years, whom despite claiming political neutrality for her entire career became a D66 alderman of Amsterdam within the month she quit.

It shouldn't surprise you that the Public Broadcasting Network literally broadcasted a documentary about Kaag's career, made from taxpayer money and checked and corrected by Kaag personally (one of the many scandals that quickly got ignored, don't get me started about their employee diversity trophies). It aired in the weeks leading up to the last election.

Well at least there is more media than just public broadcasting right? Well there is but all our national (and most regional) papers, magazines and tv channels are in the hands of only two companies. Two Belgian companies whom both receive millions of EU funding of which both owners completely coincidentally have direct ties to the Renew Europe party, which both our ruling party (VVD) and D66 are part of. No, it isn't nationally acknowledged that both our second and first party are basically the same party, it's just one of those things nobody talks about.

You can probably imagine how our media treats dissidents. I would be called a conspiracy theorist for stating these verifiable facts, or a 'wappie' as they've been called since corona.

I work for a very progressive employer so I see daily how disconnected our elites are from the real world, and it won't take long until shit will completely hit the fan. Funnily enough, the farmer protests probably won't even be the cause, it will be those darn immigrants and the lack of actual houses to put them in, since they get priority over people who have been searching for decades and well, people are starting to notice they are being discriminated against in their own country. There is so much more to talk about (I didn't even mention our prime minister, who has his whole own unique form of dementia) but I'll keep it at this for now.

It would be funny if it weren't so sad.

The Prime Minister is the guy that "forgets" things that are inconvenient for him right?

[sufferingisinevitable]

Yes indeed, the last scandal he completely forgot that he was supposed to archive his work text-messages.

[xphilosoraptorx]

Sounds a lot like how things are here in America. My condolences.

[sufferingisinevitable]

It sure does. That's basically a whole other topic but my very own proverb 'if our world was a civ game then the US would already have won a cultural victory' seems to hold true.

It's sad in a way since I've experienced the degredation of my culture, but I also can't be too bothered since I'm all for the 'marketplace of ideas', what works often wins out and my parents and grandparents generation has basically ignored our national pride and traditions in order to placate the newcomers, it was already weakened before you guys moved in.

Trick or treating for candy is a lot more fun than going door to door singing about saints while carrying about a cross decorated with dried peaches and figs. I've done both so I can tell, you can guess which one is mostly celebrated nowadays. And so it goes for a lot of topics, I can't rember the last time I read a Dutch book despite reading novels for dozens of hours a week.

It just goes a lot faster and a lot more forcefully since everything got woke. Despite the philosophical grounds for this madness being English, German and French, you 'muricans sure are excellent in spreading it.

[xphilosoraptorx]

I was actually referring to the political manipulation and forced diversity, but you make some good points.

While I sympathize with the loss of your culture, I also think there's something to be said for the difference between natural diversity and forced diversity. Natural diversity gave us rock music, gumbo, and skateboarding. Forced diversity has given us the previously mentioned political manipulation, as well as increased poverty and crime. From your description, it sounds like the same thing has happened in the Netherlands.

[sufferingisinevitable]

Yeah I knew what you were referring to, I just thought this intepretation still held up, and it's interrelated since our post-WW2 relationship with the US is still one of the leading causes. We just weren't as fucked as some of the people you guys gave money to in the Marshall plan. It was a neccessity that I'm thankful for and it speaks for the US as a country but you shouldn't underestimate the strings that were attached.

And I won't shed a tear for our culture. Why would you when you live in a country where no one seems to care? I'm not going to glorify an unsustainable system nor will I fight for it, and as opposed to the farmers I have very little that still can be taken from me. I'm ironically not even a nationalist and I still can see that what is happening is wrong.

I'll watch the collapse and either build on the ruins or move to greener pastures.

Undercover police tried to infiltrate the Dutch farmers protest but they got caught

@schreeuwekster @captainoftheroad can confirm?

[schreeuwekster]

Probably. They constantly sent Romeo's (cops pretending to be protestors with the aim of causing violence and giving cops an excuse to crack down as well as get damning footage for the public broadcasters).

Has been a thing since the big Den Haag corona protests, so we all know of it. The farmers protests are huge and have a lot of public support (which the state did not count on, believing they had sufficiently demonized the farmers in the public eye. But even the cities support them) so of course they'd sent Romeos.
