Last elections in The Netherlands I browsed the policy proposals of Geert Wilders’ PVV party and it struck me how a lot of them seemed more explicitly progressive than those on the liberal left. Then again, the outer facade of the NSDAP leaned into the same meme, which could be boiled down to: What if socialism, but not for those people?

People actually observing the PVV in action will note, though, that the ‘fight against the rights of undesirable people’ item on the agenda tends to take precedence over all the other campaign promises.

You have to admit that, retrospectively, the dude being known for a book called ‘manufacturing consent’ is so irony-pilled you’re likely to die of an overdose.

I’d envision sort of an inverse Pol Pot. Build a shit ton of commie blocks and march all the suburbians out of their cul-de-sac hellholes.

It used to be that conductors gave rhythm by banging a staff on the ground. Baroque composer Jean-Baptiste Lully killed himself this way, by impaling his foot with the staff and developing gangrene.

It’s what always struck me about American Christians. If you talk to church people here in the Netherlands, their take on environmentalism is that it is their duty to take care of God’s creation.

2FA with SMS is fundamentally broken anyway. Proper two factor works with crypto (e.g. google authenticator).

Awesome, thanks for making my morning.

I tried all kinds of humane traps, they never worked for me. My mouse problem only ended when I got cats. Unfortunately one of them got caught, after that they just vacated the premises pronto.
