While protesting on Dam square, one of us was chased by police and dragged into a police van. Either he was already targeted or the police singled out a random person to give us a warning. So crazy, never seen this before with my own two eyes. I'm safe now, returning home

Wild, hope he's okay. Stay safe, scary stuff happening with these protests.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

Hope so too, don't even know who it was. It happened so fast.

Students around Belgium are starting to occupy campuses this week. Hopefully it goes well

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago

In the Netherlands, two more campuses have been occupied now as well. Groningen and TU Eindhoven

The Netherlands is absolutely doing a fascism speedrun it seems and the student protests are highlighting it tremendously. Never in my life have I seen people justify police beating down a protest against genocide with even politicians intimidating journalists.

Like, over here universities are getting occupied as well but apart from some mellow reactions there hasn't been any trouble (yet). The Netherlands is just collectively losing it. But seeing the election results that shouldn't be a surprise.

According to a poll from EenVandaag, 75% are in favor of the police response

Apparently the Asian Hornet has won the battle against extermination here and the government and exterminators will just accept that the invasive species will thrive here. Money is also a big issue in this. It may or may not decimate native bee populations, but based on news articles nobody really seems to care.

At this point, I´d say have a nature battle galore. Introduce wild scorpions as they kill hornets. Breed millions of birds to kill them. Have exterminators put on three suits and fill their nests with fireworks. Have some fun, it's not that anyone even cares anymore.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Capitalists will not let us win the fight against invasive species since it's not profitable enough for them

I can't wait to get in the psl!

was speaking to a family member who mentioned her coworker talking about "standing with Israel" which sent me into a full blown rant about how fucking evil Zionists are and how Palestinians are 100% justified in their attacks on Israel and I think my indignant rage kinda shook her a bit lol.

I feel like I've had this anger boiling just under the surface for so long and I finally opened a release valve and just went off about how Israel and the US are unequivocally evil. I ended up apologizing to her because once I cooled down I felt bad about blowing up on her but man it felt good to finally just release all that anger. I need a better way to channel it though

Gladio never went away. It just expanded.

As President Biden says, American workers and businesses can outcompete anyone—as long as they have fair competition. But for too long, China’s government has used unfair, non-market practices. China’s forced technology transfers and intellectual property theft have contributed to its control of 70, 80, and even 90 percent of global production for the critical inputs necessary for our technologies, infrastructure, energy, and health care—creating unacceptable risks to America’s supply chains and economic security. Furthermore, these same non-market policies and practices contribute to China’s growing overcapacity and export surges that threaten to significantly harm American workers, businesses, and communities.

What president Biden is saying here is that Americans can't outcompete anyone without having monopoly on intellectual property lmao. Is it fair competition when one party holds the know-how and extracts rent from it? Of course not, when the playing field was leveled they didn't have a chance against China.

These university protests and how the administration is violently imposing the cops on students is making me worried about my future. Right now I’m still in undergrad but I wont be for much longer and will be moving on to my Masters soon (in a little over a year I should be done) but the schools that have graduate and doctoral programs are all cracking down on students hard and I don’t know if I want to go to a school that does shit like that (this is Canada, by the way).

I would like to study abroad but money is an issue and so are my dogs. Money because I am actually on disability so travelling is restricted in general so I would assume leaving the country to study is also prohibited (or at least I would be kicked off and be left with no income); the dogs are only an emotional issue as I don’t want them to be hurt on the plane if I leave the country (I made a post lamenting about this, it was stupid lol). Can I study in a different province? Sure, but again, money is still the main problem. I am more than willing to get a job during my masters and doctorate but losing that support system sucks. This is a weird rant but it’s my genuine feelings. Maybe one or some of you relate, I don’t know.

I really wish I could just drop reddit, it's a truly awful place that consistently makes me miserable

But there's so many topics and communities I just have no way of keeping informed about without it
