Tiring times in the world right now. I am extremely mad at how Palestina gets covered here and how we are watching a genocide unfold while accepting everything the IDF puts forwards as true. I honestly think I can't get back to normal after seeing the shit that has happened in the past weeks. How can I ever act normal to people who are casually accepting genocide as the right thing to do?

But personally I feel like doing okay. I tackled some problems I had a while ago and so far things seem to go right. I'm even starting to make some sort of plan for the next few years about where I want to end up. The options I have in mind are somewhere along the Atlantic Ocean in Europe, a certain European island or somewhere more remote in a forest. But we're talking about between now and ten years. My job and my health are doing okay as well.

Even politics seem positive because according to the polls our party is now standing at 14% of the votes and the campaign hasn't even started. We're doing so well that other parties are now talking about excluding is from results lol.

How about you?

wait, they are talking about just going full “dictatorship style” and excluding a party with 14% of the votes of the result?

In their defence, they already do this with the far right neonazi party as well. And they were even more popular than we are now. Luckily they slowed down to around 14% too.

What's happening now, I think, is the result of the neolibs losing their majority to left wing parties. In Antwerp, for example, the left with our marxist party, the Greens and another socdem party can now form a majority without any right wing neolib party. I think they want to exclude us to keep leftists blocks from forming.

I don't know what to think about displacing oppressed native people from their land. It does seem like a solution that helps to oppressor instead of helping a liberation movement.
