  • With the motion now adopted, the Dutch government must formally respond and decide whether to implement the request.

    And they won’t.

    Wilders is a right wing nut job whose popularity is decreasing rapidly. His party was now elected twice into the government and in both cases they blew up the coalition, causing new elections.

    The sentiment regarding his party is now that they are unable to govern and just cause chaos. This is becoming clear even among his followers.

    Before the elections they promise the impossible. When they are in the opposition it’s easy to maintain that the ruling parties are messing stuff up, but now that they were actually part of the government they have shown twice now that they are unable to deliver any of their fantasy solutions and that they can’t govern.

    Tipping in general is a concept that should just die. Same actually as bonuses. I work at a rather large company where sales closing a deal will get them a bonus. In my job I don’t directly deal with customers, so I can never get a bonus. U don’t work less hard than sales. I would actually say my job is more stressful. They should just pay people what they’re worth.



  • What strikes me is that suddenly reels in Facebook is flooded with Charlie Kirk debates. All of them where he is pretty decent, or debating people that can’t actually debate well at all. There was one with a queer person he traps into defining ‘queer’. The person couldn’t really answer.

    You can imagine the divisive comments, one group mourning him, saying we lost a genius philosopher and debater, the other hating on him, because of the hate he spread.

    The fact that the reels are pretty much all of him being relatively moderate, or against people that he can easily beat in a debate, the negative reactions towards Charlie will seem extra hateful to third parties that don’t actually know him or his more hateful side. The people criticizing him in the comments seem exaggerating , or way out of control.

    This is the exact tactic they used when he was alive. His videos all showed him when he was winning a debate, or giving a clever comeback. They never showed all the debates he lost when he debated someone articulate or more clever than himself.

    They say if you suppose you are of medium intelligence, that means that about 50% of people will be less intelligent than you. They are using these reels to manipulate the narrative of the majority of people. Nudging the collective minds of people towards a facist world view one reel at a time.
