nlpol, spicy take
I think it's a bad idea to call this a democratic outcome, actually. The 'democracy' in the Netherlands has been deteriorating for many years in many aspects:
- No functioning journalistic apparatus, journalists just publish any claim from politicians and government without any sort of checks
- Justice system is constantly being (deliberately) eroded, with legal support being increasingly unavailable to low-income folks, "reducing cases against the government" was an explicitly stated objective
- No functioning checks-and-balances on new legislative proposals; constitution-violating legislation is frequently passed and there are no consequences
- No effective mechanisms to mitigate propaganda at *any* level, including parliamentary debates themselves, moderation there has been broken for years
- Protests of any sort against the government are structurally repressed by police with violence, this has been going on for two decades at least
Considering all these things, how much of a democracy is there actually still left? Was this a democratic election, or was it the predictable result of a lengthy process of propaganda and outright lies that nothing was done against?
I think calling it a "democratic outcome" only serves to legitimize the result, when there are good reasons to believe that it's not (eg. policy polls show wildly different outcomes).
"Democracy" is about more than just being allowed to cast a vote and having those votes counted correctly.
... why is there only a *single* polyamory pride day? This doesn't make any sense
re: subtoot
I guess this just reinforces my general advice not to go work in the infosec industry, even if you enjoy the subject matter

And another infosec dude with a poor understanding of "consent"...

When the right and the centrists tell you voting for them is the only way of stopping the rise of fascism, do not believe them. The centrist approach to fighting fascism is to pander to fascist voters by adopting positions increasingly close to the fascism they’re try to fight. Not only is the end result more fascism but this also normalizes it, laying the groundwork for a fascist landslide like we saw in The Netherlands today.
Vote for people on the actual left, who see fascism for what is.

@VeryBadLlama I was reminded very strongly of this one I just saw the other day:
Looking for suggestions for a new personal domain name, that will (among other things) host my blog, something that doesn't include my nickname or variations thereof and is a little more colourful

37c3 ticket presale rant, ableism
dieser ticket presale ist so ein ableistisches scheißsystem. Da werden menschen mit kürzerer reaktionszeit, schlechterer Internetanbindung oder vielleicht auch einfach Motorik rausgefiltert und nur die schnellsten und "ablen" kommen durch.
I'm out. Fuck this.

Feeling very 2016 as today is our 24th of june 2016 and our 9th of november 2016 all rolled into one. Both disastrous results are 7 years ago and haven’t turned out great. You’d think we wouldn’t make the same mistake. But we did and now we have to go through the same pain we saw the folks in America and Britain go through. We weren’t the first western nation to fuck up like this but I hope we’re the last.

We're all just collectively cool with racialized torture, colonial-type exploitation, boiling the oceans and diverting water from actual need by human people so that we can have repetitive tasks accomplished, but shittier?

So did anyone ever do anything about the Kenyan workers that they're torturing for $2 per day to make LLM's work, or is that still happening?
Ik kan het me moeilijk voorstellen, maar als je bij deze verkiezingen PVV of FvD gestemd hebt, dan kun je me bij dezen ontvolgen.

De belangrijkste conclusie van vanavond is m.i. dat de verschillen tussen rechtse en extreemrechtse partijen in dit land (PVV, VVD, FvD, JA21, CDA, BBB) wat hun electoraat betreft helemaal niet zo groot zijn. En misschien is dat ook terecht, want ze voerden en/of bepleitten allemáál racistisch beleid.
Dat de PVV nu zo significant wint is een klap in het gezicht van moslims, mensen van kleur, LHBTI'ers en andere gemarginaliseerde groepen. Racisme, homo- en transfobie en misogynie worden explicieter en dat ís bedreigend. Maar we moeten niet doen alsof het nieuw is, want dat is het helaas niet.

Kom in verzet: geen Wilders-kabinet!
Beste mensen,
De fascisten van de PVV hebben de verkiezingen gewonnen. Nu dreigt een kabinet-Wilders. Een racistisch kabinet dat mensen uitsluit op basis van herkomst en religie. Een kabinet dat asociaal beleid combineert met verwaarlozing van milieu en klimaat. Een levensgevaarlijk kabinet. Dit laten we niet zomaar gebeuren.
Geen Wilders-kabinet! Geen fascisten in de regering!
PROTESTEER:
Vrijdag 24 november, 19:00 uur, bij station Tilburg centrumzijde/Spoorlaan, TILBURG.
Laat je zien & laat je horen!
Is er behalve Indymedia eigenlijk ergens een 'evenementenkalender' voor linkse dingen? Daarbij denk ik niet alleen aan demonstraties en filmavonden, maar ook bijv. concerten bij kraakpanden / anarchistische hangouts, en oproepen van bijvoorbeeld weggeefwinkels of andere initiatieven die vrijwilligers zoeken.
Dus zeg maar een soort van one-stop-shop voor mensen die graag bij de beweging betrokken willen raken, en een manier zoeken die bij hen past.
