  • The 1st generation… the actual migrants where never integrated… as the views of the time (by everyone) where that this was not needed. Since then the issues first festered and grew… once it became politically divisive the left and right parties started to both try and solve it with policy that can almost be subscribes as a pendulum swinging.

    One side blaming everything on the class inequality and refusing to acknowledge that there might be cultural/religious issues at play next to the class issues. While the right refuses to acknowledge the class issues, only thumping on the cultural/religious issues.



  • Daily more stuff comes out. Like the fans against the taxi drivers, turns out the taxi drivers instigated, maybe because of the flag incident the day before… who knows yet. The investigation is in full swing. But then no need for truth when there is a narrative to be sold… By both sides!

    Regardless of what specifically happened, the tension in Dutch society surrounding marrokan youths might have gotten the final nudge by the last few days. This is the thing our current government has probably been waiting on to use it as a cudgel to enact some harsh laws.

    We’re talking people who are 3rd and 4th generation after migration to the Netherlands who might get their passports revoked and deported. The fact that the marrokan law states you are always Marokkan and have a passport makes this possible.

    Regardless of how you feel about the whole string of incidents, fanning the flames from the outside will make things a lot worse. And I don’t mean for the Maccabi supporters.





  • What extra funding? The US just completed Afghanistan mission that cost billions. Now they only need to deploy to the southern border… it will be cheaper. Plus if it really needs extra funds… if there is anything the US always had funding for is the military. So yes as a non Americans I see them turning the border into a Korean style border. Possibly declaring a zone around the border as a special territory to make an end run around posse comitatus.










  • Change in this case is not, “were doing everything completely different”, but more of where the focus of the policy is. And the focus on “the economy” does shit for normal people. I’m sure wrecking the economy will hurt them… but the simple fact is biden-harris failed to adress the issues facing a looooooot of americans.

    And your chocolate pudding example perfectly aligns with the failure to imprison Trump. The Americans don’t care about ANY of his crimes because the justice system and the president did not Care.

    If it was soooooooo important, he would have been thrown in jail, publicly prosecuted and executed for treason… and he was not. Instead everyone danced around it, and SHOWED the American people there are zero consequences while saying “he is so dangerous, he is so bad, he is a criminal”. Well like you say, talk is cheap. Put up or shut up… and the American people said the same. All the anti Trump rhetoric was dismissed because if any of it where true he would have been in jail.

    The fact Biden is the most pro worker and pro u ion does not mean shit if the whole world saw you use executive power to publicly stop the strike. The fact that he later in backrooms got them ak OK deal… was done in the limelight… so that’s an own goal. He should have targeted the Corporation at the same time… but he did not.

    So I get what you are saying. And I argue, the Dems fucked themselves… a lot… repeatedly…


  • The US military predicts april or October 2027 or 2028 as several things coalesce.

    The month is determined by the weather in the Taiwan strait The year because china ordered it’s military to be ready to take Taiwan by force in 2027. But October 2028 means the US should be either in chaos due to an upcoming election, or because there will not be an election.

    So if I would have to bet, it’s Oct 2028. Unless the maga party shits the bed real bad before then… they might open an Oct 2027 or April 2028 window.


  • No, the Democratic party ran a candidate that wanted to keep the status quo in a period the whole country needed change.

    And during the last 4 years the sitting president was actually sleepy Joe. He should have arrested trump and his co conspirators and throw away the key after a very public trial.

    But instead, they did nothing to stem the tide of fascism. If you want to blame people, blame the technocrats Trump was projecting on during his campaign. As if he is a small portion of who he says he is, he will show everyone what the Dems should have done.
