    There’s a large thread on the biggest Dutch socialism subreddit on China right now, and it is one western propaganda claim after another. Almost everyone seems to be against the evil China. There’s a few comments being ashamed of the thread and the propaganda but they get laughed at. It’s all white socialist supremacy, because only the true white socialist are good. China can’t be good.

    Dutch socialism is an absolute joke.

      It infuriates me that the majority of the Global South and their socialist movements all support China and their help. But the online white socialist in the west who can’t even succesfully organize a decent strike knows it better of course. Fucking chauvinist pigs.

      Edit: denying Uyghur genocide gets you a ban lmao. Absolute state of the sub.

    The Dutch farmers are now blocking highways again leading to multiple accidents. One highway even got covered in asbestos, which isn’t really all that healthy.

    Not a single action is taken by police or government it seems. They can just terrorize the country without someone stopping them.

        There’s a Farmers Party that now has a fair amount of support, and they’re supported by a far right party as well. There’s large agricultural companies that fund them.

        The rest of the government, in typical neolib tradition, doesn’t want to do anything. Most of them are on holiday I think.

        Police is completely useless so far. Some even support them (fascists gonna fascist).

        And they’re threatening everyone that wants to intervene basically.

        Classic fascist terrorism.

            Most of it is for export anyway. And it’s not a even big part of our export, around 3% or something. Our food security won’t even be in danger by cutting 50% of all farmers. And they are fucking up nature all for profit, delaying construction of houses in the process as well.

            It’s a massive fuck up from all parties involved so far. Government and farmers are ignoring the problem for decades, now all of a sudden they need to change something and farmers don’t accept it. Instead of being an actual government they let them terrorize the country.

    Have you ever noticed how Russian newspapers and pro-Russia telegram channels always mention exact locations that they liberate (for example, Semigorye was liberated TODAY), and Ukrainian units that they destroy (for example, just this morning, the 110th and 14th Mechanized Brigades of the Ukrainian military suffered attacks on their command centers), while Ukrainian and Western newspapers always just go “omg muh sanctions putin ukrainian soldier kills 500 tanks with a single javelin missle” and they never mention anything specific (except for some “Kherson counteroffensive” that has pretty much not materialized after months of waiting)? It’s because the Western MSM is full of bullshit, and they’re scared that if they publish anything specific their viewers are going to independently cross-check and find out that they’ve been lied to.

    The behind the scenes footage of the Zelensky Vogue shoot is even funnier lmao. They are seen just goofing around, actually participating in picking the right angles and stuff.

    Brainrot man. I’d link it but I saw some brief clips on Instagram, so I don’t know if there is some other form of footage.

    Edit: it’s on Vogue Instagram as well

        Because it works. Libs are eating it up. He unironically has rallied the Western world around Ukraine again with this Vogue photoshoot and keeping the war on the minds of the limited attention spans of lib’s brains

        The best thing for Zman to do is keep making media and social media headlines because if he doesn’t, Ukraine war will eventually fade out like all other issues in favor of something new and without that pressure and support from the population, Western countries will stop funding his military and Nazis

    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.

      His suggestion is, and I kid you not, to put stickers on lamppost protesting the farmers.

      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?

      • DankZedong

        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.

      You know the funniest thing? This was predicted by a Soviet children’s book author in the 70’s. In the novel “Dunno on the Moon”(Незнайка на Луне), the titular character finds himself in a coin hotel. Turns out it is calleed that because everything costs a coin. Want lights? Give coin (it only lasts a bit). Water? Coin. Bed? Yeah, you guessed it.

      Turns out the dystopia was the capital’s plann all along.

    Constantin Sëmin, a notable marxist journalist from Russia, has suggested that the Pelosi visit to Taiwan could be a distraction. Taiwan was made into a show, but what is the “magician” doing with the other hand?
