And the winner of the Dutch election is... The Dutch Media. They've spent decades hyping up every right wing racist party, allowing them to say the most outrageous things without any fact checking at all. The public has now given the most votes to a racist linked to Putin. I'm ashamed.

@hembrow "What's clear is that everybody is shocked by the victory of PVV", according to the NOS.
What if - hear me out - they'd actually listened to the many many many warnings from marginalized folks that this might happen? Perhaps they wouldn't have been so "shocked" then :|

I started learning Dutch in late 2000s, about 10 years ago I could understand enough to hang out on forums/social media where young people congregated and even as a foreigner I could directly read all the racial/gender tension and the sheer amount of toxic masculinity (it was identical to what was happening here in UK). Those young people will be 30-40 years old today, many will have full time jobs, families of their own and have voted in the elections..
