    There’s a topic on the biggest Dutch socialist subreddit that asked people if they think the Farmers Protest are a gateway to fascism. I think it is and I replied my opinion, saying that there is no real leftist movement in The Netherlands to counter this. I ended my comment with the call to organizing and I urged people to start working out and learn some fighting techniques before the fascist group got too big.

    Some guy is now replying that it’s a bit too radical. His suggestion is, and I kid you not, to put stickers on lamppost protesting the farmers. Fucking state of the socialist movement.

      How do people unironically come up with stuff like this? Is it just a reflection of the sheer powerlessness people feel in current times? Like how does a grown person seriously think stickers in lampposts can counter fascism?

        He says he doesn’t want to counter violence with more radical actions. He believes the fairly elected government, consisting of more or less the same parties that have been creating this problem for decades, should step in and fix it. But they are so far not doing anything, same goes for the police.

        So he wants to put stickers on lampposts. That way the farmers see there is a group of people not supporting them. This is how they want to start countering fascism.

        If only Italian partisans started stickering sooner man…

          Ah yes,the good old “vote the fascism away”. I’m sure Hitler would’ve just given up if the people voted for him to go away. This is the ultimate way to fix fascism and corruption forever.

          So he wants to put stickers on lampposts.

          And clearly the stickers would’ve scared Hitler so much that he would’ve been forced to follow the will of the people. Wow, this person just solved all of the world’s problems with stickers and voting.

      But to be fair, they guy is a socdem. So, in socdem fashion, he’d rather give the fascist uprising a stern warning and he will condemn actual leftist action that itsn’t stickering.
