SSJ2 Goku Wilders posted:it's what lagotto (far right dutch poster) said years ago when the SP was due to win big: the dutch have a tendency to try and get 'working' coalitions, consequently leading to voting outside of their own interest because politics as an instrument of reasonable interest is seen as scary until that interest falls within enlightened public opinion (similar to the overton window idea). my mothers family are poor rotterdammers and the family of my gf are poor almeloers and they all vote pvv because they dont trust the left anymore and i dont blame them because can you think of a single time in the last ten years gl or the pvda tried to connect with those people? best case scenario is they vote sp which is of course preferable if i could give the pvda one piece of advice its to gently caress off out of amsterdam and start a new headquarters in dronten or whatever Sai has issued a correction as of 16:42 on Oct 29, 2016 |

i want to tell a story from my country this is a kinda famous bronze sculpture in the Amsterdam red light district:  This wasn't commissioned by the city, it just appeared one morning in february 1993. We're Dutch and we plan every loving meter of this swamp country, so it would not stand, and the city send some people to remove it. They tried to pry it out, but they couldnt get it loose. It turned out it had a cubic meter of concrete under it. This is in a very heavy tourist district, and it was placed overnight. The city finally removed it, but for an unknown reason placed it back a month later a few feet from its original place. Noone knew who made it. In the years before the city had a contract with The Unknown Sculptor that in exchange for anonimity, they could place some sculptures throughout the city without payment, and it was quickly concluded that this was the same person. Other works of his/her:  (the blue violinist/Man trying to catch tram 5) or  (the treecutter) or  (the violinist, in the lobby of the city hall) people have tried for years to find out who it is, but since the city never paid a cent for the sculptures and noone noticed (or tells) who installed them its hard to find leads and those who should know have never said a word in 30 years. So, apparently there's a sculptor in the netherlands who has enough money and connections to dig a hole for a 5000 pound slab of concrete in the city center in one night without informing the city and can just get away with it. There is however one famous person in the Netherlands known for her love of sculpting, violin, connections and tons of money  Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands So if you ever visit Amsterdam and smack your toe against a titty on the oudekerksplein, I'd say it's about a 65% chance our last queen made that titty Sai has issued a correction as of 04:46 on Nov 28, 2016 |

the more important thing keeping wilders out of a coalition is that it seems he really doesnt want to be in one unless he gets like 50+ seats since the last time he he blew up the coaliton i think he's just been trying to build an Asterix-like village for when the muslim hordes inevitably take over europe

It was ok, the profs were good people but its one of those degrees where you have at most 10 hours of class a week and barely any feedback on papers and stuff. For my masters thesis i had like 4 meetings with my advisor and that was it. Now that im a few years out i kinda feel like i really didnt learn anything. Its not true, but i have a lot of trouble coming up with concrete things to point to and say ''i learned that because i studied history!'. i doubt this is a specifically dutch issue, more just goons being goons

d66 is garbage but since everything they want is a total non-issue for other parties they are perfectly safe to put in your coalition and while you try to work out economic policy with other parties d66 can play on the balcony with reorganizing the provinces or founding a Superuniversity or whatever
