The Euro-American chauvinism, ignorance, audacity, racism, orientalism, and cope that comes out of the mouths of ordinary citizens who consider themselves smart and experienced is just too much for me sometimes.

I was at the anti-NATO demonstration in the Hague today. We were with 5000 people and we made a stand, although I wished we were with more. It was pretty international, with the Belgian PvdA and the Turkish TKP participating as well. There was a lot of police for such a small demonstration and they were clearly trying to intimidate us. During the march there were three arrest buses following us which were later joined by police on horseback. On every side street there were always a dozen police officers and a couple of police vans.

Edit: I forget there was also a police van with cameras on top filming everyone the whole time

There were also some pro-ayatollah Iranians present, like not just critical support but full support for the government. The women were all wearing chadors. I heard rumors they were embassy staff, or paid by the embassy, which I don’t necessarily believe. There were times where anti-regime Iranians in the march were clashing with the pro-regime Iranians.

مرگ بر آمریکا، مرگ بر اسرائیل.

Long live the resistance. Didn’t expect the US to escalate so quickly. Thought there would be at least a couple weeks to try to manufacture consent.

Dutch left reddit already auto fellating for both sidesing the conflict saying Iran needs regime change as well

So far for critical support I guess. But that sub sucks anyway.

I live above and Italian couple and I guess just by being in close proximity to their internet usage I get suggested lots of italian migrant content in social media and it is just Italians bashing Belgian food lmao

Lmao Dutch Fürher Geert Wilders is coming to my Dutch hometown soon for some anti migration bullshit

Contemplating going to it for shits and giggles

We really need to reinvent cities in Belgium and The Netherlands as it’s only becoming hotter and drier for the next few years. Absolutely scorching sun right now but everything is traditionally build to keep the warmth in. Not nearly enough greenery as needed. And as a result we’re getting wrecked by the heat.

Some of my inner city hasn’t got a proper park nearby for miles. Only concrete squares but they trap heat even more.

Thought I’d share some more light hearted news as a man walking his dog near a Belgian body of water yesterday found a Caiman wandering around and now a big search has been set up lol. They assume it is released by someone but otherwise climate change is taking up some really drastic forms.

First Theoretical Symposium between the Communist Party of China and the United Socialist Party of Venezuela

This happened last week. 🥹

From @Middle_East_Spectator:

I am literally seeing Iranian larp Zoroastrians / pro-Democracy liberals and nationalists now siding with the Islamic Republic.

Israel has united the most unlikely of alliances. Iranians united for the homeland.

Very happy to see how the Iranian people from all types of ideology united against the zionist siege.

A very prominent figure in the Belgian neolib party (the ruling one) got on tv to talk about Gaza. He called Israel an apartheid State and he says that Palestinians have no other option than to die, live under oppression or flee. He even went as far as to say that if he were born in Gaza he himself would have become a terrorist to fight Israel. He says Israel is one of the worst disgraces of the century.

Now, I was blown away by this. This is even more harsh words than our party leaders use on tv. Like, fuck me man I 100% agree.

And this all goes directly against his own party’s stance too.

There’s probably a cool thesis that could be written about a contradiction within the “America First” movement by being both anti-war and USA exceptionalist in times of decaying imperialism that can only maintained through war. Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard are the best examples of this.
