i think we should do this again

For my followers not aware of what is happening in my country. Please spread awareness. Please share.

We're scared and feeling hopeless right now.

Especially communities like the LGBTQ community, refugees, immigrants, and the islamic community.

Brb ik ga het veen in springen, zie jullie over 2000 jaar

Going to talk about the state of Dutch politics again. If you ever pay attention to them, please let it be now.

So like. We're now about 18 hours after the polls closed. The PVV has gained 2 more seats than even the exit polls estimated. The major left-wing parties have both immediately positioned themselves as opposition parties, so unless a big shift happens, the slight hope for a center government is pretty much shot through. We are looking at a (far) right cabinet that is going to do their best to fuck everything up and reverse even the little bits of progress that the past half a dozen or so center-right cabinets still managed to pull off.

And yeah I know that Wilders has been acting like he's going to be "milder" than he's been in the past. And I know that half of what the PVV wants they can't do from a simple constitutional and legal standpoint. But the fact is that they got 37 out of 150 seats. Almost a quarter of our electorate. OVER 2.4 MILLION PEOPLE, are apparently willing to agree with the hateful, islamophobic, racist, queerphobic, climate-denying, insane fucking ideas of Geert Wilders and his PVV. Or at the very least, they're willing to be okay with it. Sure not all of them will agree, but a FUCKING QUARTER OF OUR POPULATION is willing to say "okay yeah I'm fine with you saying those things. I'm fine with you implementing these ideas." And that's not even considering those who voted for other parties that hold similar ideals.

That's the worst part of all this to me. I am dreading a far right government. I am dreading which changes they WILL be able to implement. But above all I'm terrified of knowing that over a quarter of our fucking country is just, okay with it. A quarter of the country is willing to vote for the "less morrocans" guy. A quarter of the country is willing to vote for the guy wanting to ban islam. Wanting to pretty much stop taking in any refugees and sending them all back. Wanting to ban fucking LGBT education and what not. I am not even close to being their primary target. Sure I'm trans and queer and what not. But I'm still white and Dutch. I fear not just for myself. I fear way more for those in this country who look at this election, and see a party who downright says they don't belong here. They will face more hate. And I can't do much about that. But the least I can do is not shut up. I can try and show them that there are still plenty people here who do stand with them. And while I don't agree with him on some things, I do agree with Frans Timmermans in saying that at this point, we need to stand up straight, we need to look at the people who feel they might not belong in this country, and tell them we Have. Their. Backs.

And I know there's more shit going on in the world. I know most people on this site don't care much for Dutch politics. But I need to talk about it for once because honestly it's fucking terrifying. We looked on when Trump got elected. We spread your news on all that. Maybe this once, now our own Trump has pretty much won here, you'll look to our country, and at least, see what's going on. It might not be a war or anything on that order of magnitude. But it still fucking matters

Right wing politicians in the US and Europe are against mass migration but support Israel, the country most involved in or directly causing the refugee crisis around the world especially in Middle East.

Wat een trio, waarom leren we zo sloom...

We were actually kind of moving towards climate regulations but now that’s fucking dead in the water. I hate right wingers and I hate Geert Wilders.

"Coriolanus x Reader", huh...?

Of all the lessons that Suzanne Collins wanted to teach you about good governance, dictatorships, and not treating human beings as being anything less than freaking human...that is the takeaway you go for...?

Well, well, well...some of us truly have never, or possibly will never, have to deal with the creeping horror that our lives are at risk; the lives of our children and their children and everyone else's children are at risk; that all the freedoms we enjoyed could quite literally go up in smoke; and that some people could easily give it all away for power...and boy, does it show.

En snel een beetje <3

Zaterdag zal Ter Apel weer het toneel zijn voor een vertoning van xenophobie en racisme door Geert Wilders die ondersteund zal worden door de extreemrechtse nationalisten van de NVU.

We gaan zaterdag ook de straat op om een alternatief geluid te laten horen, namelijk: vluchtelingen zijn welkom in het noorden, meer en beter bereikbare aanmeldings locaties door heel het land zal Ter Apel ontlasten en de situatie meer menselijk maken en het is onze verantwoordelijkheid om voor elkaar te zorgen.

Kom zaterdag 3 juni om 14:30 naar de Heemker Akkerstraat 18 Ter Apel om je stem te laten horen!

- Saturday, refugee centre Ter Apel in the north of the Netherlands will once again be the scene for a display of xenophobia and racism by far right politician Geert Wilders who will be supported by the alt-right nationalists of the NVU.

We will also take to the streets on Saturday to raise an alternative voice, namely: refugees are welcome in the north, and we need more accessible application locations throughout the country in addition to Ter Apel, to make the situation more humane. It is our responsibility to take care of each other.

Come to Heemker Akkerstraat 18 Ter Apel on Saturday, June 3 at 2:30 p.m. to make your voice heard!

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi slams far-right Dutch extremist MP Geert Wilders on his racist position and statements regarding Palestine.

Also to the people who aren't from the Netherlands, being like "good job electing a fascist Netherlands. Time to never go there bla bla you fucked yourself up!" Shut up. Go fuck yourself. Yes. They got a quarter of the votes. Yes it fucking sucks. But first of, three quarters of the country still didn't vote for him. And secondly. WE DON'T FUCKING NEED YOU TRYING TO PUSH US DOWN EVEN MORE.

If you're going to speak on what's going on, yes recognise this fucking sucks. But how about instead of blaming the whole damn country, you try and stand with the people who didn't vote for Wilders. Stand with the people who will be his victims. How about instead of just blaming everyone, you simply stand against the shit and with those who need fucking support right now. And if you can't do that, if all you want to do is bitch at us about it, just don't. We have enough of that already. We don't need to be pointing blame.

Never thought I'd say this, but
