If anyone ever wants to know something about the cluster fuck that is Belgian politics:

Belgium is devided into a Dutch speaking part and a French speaking part. As a result, most parties have grown into a Dutch side or a French side. This can lead to either one being elected for government. This is now the case with the socdems. The Dutch part of Vooruit is elected to rule with the neolibs while their French part PS is not. Vooruit is going along with the budget cuts while PS is fighting against it. Literally fighting against their own party.

They even share the same building in Brussels. Can you imagine having to work on finding ways to do opposition while possibly sitting next to your coworker working on government plans?

Another stabbing in the city. This time a guy got stabbed by a woman after allegedly harrassing her friend. Which, if true, based of course.

This Palestinian Resistance fighter just leveled up the hand delivery game. So fucking awesome.

There's this absolutely brain dead tv show in The Netherlands on the most stupid tv channel there is but one of the people in it is called El Che. That's his first name and I'm only slightly jealous.

So Jeff Bezos can rent out the entire city of Venice for his wedding and all the media are so quirky about it like it's not a fucking bizarre thing to do

I often wonder what life in the DPRK is like and today I figured: someone must have uploaded some google maps pictures. And there are indeed some photos from ground level DPRK and it's really cool to see.

Dear comrade Kim Jong Un watching you have fun in the water slide that was prepared with care for every citizen.

Spanish should be the Lingua Franca of the Americas, seeing as it's the most spoken language there. An Argentinian or Ecuadorian should be able to go to Milwaukee or Saskatoon and talk to the people there in Spanish. I hate English language imperialism.

Thought I had about liberal individualism: It's well-illustrated by the scene from the movie Office Space, where the boss is chastising the employee about her flair and people who do the "bare minimum." Because of policy, he can't just tell her to wear more flair than the minimum, but he still very much wants her to do so, so rather than getting the policy changed (which would be "restrictive" and go against the concept of "being yourself"), he tries to convince her through repeated shaming and browbeating and talking around it. The whole thing centers around him trying to convince her that she wants to be someone who wears more flair and comes off very passive-aggressive because it has no real understanding or respect for her as a person, only this sort of facade of respect that is grudgingly given.

I think it also fits well with the notion about "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds." Because it helps show how underneath liberal individualism, there is this aggressive desire for conformity and adherence to a strict way of being. But the norms of liberalism say you're not supposed to directly pursue that, lest you become "authoritarian", so people find passive-aggressive ways to pursue it instead. End result being you get this confused cocktail of mixed messages, where you're simultaneously being told you should live your life how you want to live it, while also being told you better only live it within a very narrow framework.

Despicable Me playing in a DPRK taxi 😂🇰🇵

Maybe the only upside of this NATO meeting is that the world is now able to see the walking clown show that is Mark Rutte

Currently having a sticker war with some nazi shit in my hood. They keep placing stickers that say stuff like: hand in hand back to your own land. The weird thing is that these are Dutch org stickers for some reason.

Anyway they are very unfortunate that I have probably a thousand commie and antifascist stickers that I can keep placing on top of it. I just hope to catch the person in the act one day.

I'm really toying with the idea of moving to Utrecht. I fell in love with the city, and would like to live there. Although I'm not in close contact with people who live there and the official housing site only lets me seek housing in my own area. Gotta love the housing crisis. I don't mind staying in Amsterdam but want to leave Utrecht open as an option.

So today I will join the national strike in Brussels against the government reforms, against the militarisation, for our workers rights. 7th strike in a row (for me at least) this year. Many more to come it seems. But we will not give up.

Zios on Twitter aren't even hiding that they hate Zohran entirely because he's a muslim

The Israeli ambassador came to visit Belgian parliament today for some reason and one of our MPs went off on her saying they are a genocidale state and that their lies to everyone will not prevent a Free Palestine and that their leaders will end up where they belong: in jail

There something so funny about ChatGPT Lol.

I prompt an anti israel Prompt always hit with the 'I'm sorry, but I can't help with that request.'
