[–] RecursiveParadox@piefed.social 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) Well that's fucked. Is there anything left to do to stop this bullshit? Also I read it was the damn VVD who made this deal in the last cabinet. Figures. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bloefz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago* (1 child) I don't think so, but the deal is only for 2 years. They will revisit it then and considering the uproar it is unlikely it will go to a US party again. I'm more concerned by the tax service moving everything to Microsoft 365 to be honest. There's bound to be a lot more personal data going there and it is not only for 2 years. And yeah the VVD adore America. They've been trying to make the Netherlands into a copy of America for decades. They're super neoliberal and service the big corporations, very much like the democrats in the US. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RecursiveParadox@piefed.social 1 point 3 months ago (1 child) The VVD did this to us. And their neoliberal bullshit led directly to the PVV and the other far right garbage. Big protest coming to my city tomorrow against the AZC, not even people from here. We will counterprotest and not le them near the AZC, that's the plan anyway. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bloefz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 child) Yeah 100% agreed about the VVD. I really respect you taking the effort to counter protest! Kudos 👏 and thank you. I don't live there anymore, and I haven't in decades but it shocks me when I'm back. The hatred against asylum seekers, LGBTQ etc. It's not the country I remember, that stood for equality and fairness for all 😢 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RecursiveParadox@piefed.social 1 point 3 months ago We had 400-500 people gather at the park just south of the centrum. They all marched off, but we are not really sure where they were going (there was more than one group than ours involved). It's possible they were headed for the centraal station, where the AZC protesters would be coming from.... permalink fedilink source parent
