Perfect reason for a strike.

@lalehamirali on instagram has reported this whole event in their story. But here’s a summary:

1. There was a peaceful protest on Amsterdam dam square. Due to the events with maccabi hooligans the city decided that protests are not allowed in the city until Thursday (today). Trough court decision the protest of Wednesday evening was allowed after all, but not in certain locations like the dam square. So the police considered the protest illegal.
2. After a while the police started surrounding the protesters and called on them to leave and go to the assigned protest location.
3. When the protesters didn’t leave, there were told by the cops to get into a bus that would bring them to the assigned location.
4. Protesters didn’t comply and were forcibly put into the bus that they thought would bring them to the assigned location.
5. Instead they were brought to a parking lot in the outskirts of the city. This is a tactic the police uses often to end protests they deem illegal or ‘dangerous’, because it allows them to end the protest without arresting all protesters. It’s on the protesters to get home safely (which can be very tricky because sometimes this happens at night when there is no public transport and not everyone will have their phone/money on them).
6. There was no police on the parking lot so the protesters thought they could just leave and try to get home.
7. Laleh says in their story that apparently someone in the bus, when most people had already left, broke a window.
8. This resulted in lots of police coming to the parking lot and basically hunting on protesters who are trying to run away to safety. You can see in Laleh’s story how panicked everyone is because they don’t know what’s going on and the police just keeps going after them and hitting them, resulting in people having to run into nettle bushes and ditches. This goes on for a while and according to Laleh about 3/4 of the people in the bus were arrested.

Mainstream news has reported on the violence (one of the rare occasions that they actually do that) and police is ‘investigating’ the incident.

In capitalism there is every incentive to be cruel to other people. Most people probably feel horrible when seeing a homeless person on the street. We want to help them but we are told that helping them is bad, because they want to be homeless and if we give money they’ll just ‘waste it’. That’s not a normal human reaction, that’s learned behaviour.

It keeps baffling me how Dutch media is even more biased towards *srael than *sraeli media. But it’s probably because Dutch people would actually be shocked to read it while most *sraeli’s probably support the racism.

It’s useless to attack maga in a space where everyone agrees it’s shit. However I see lots of people on here acting like Harris isn’t complicit in genocide.

It’s not an attack, you don’t need to get so defensive. It just stood out to me.

No news outlet is going to report on that but there are videos of the racist and pro genocide chants. Amsterdam has a large Palestinian community in which many people have family members that were murdered by those IDF pigs.

Why do you assume the waiter is a she?

The owner is evil, but anyone who doesn’t tip a waiter that earns too little to be able to afford to live is an asshole.

The amount of votes Harris lost compared to Biden 4 years ago can not be explained by accelerationism. Tbh I wish the left in the US was so big as to affect so many voters. Harris lost because she run a bad campaign. Her message did not appeal to the masses because it was centrist bullshit that would not improve anyone’s life in a meaningful way. She also alienated a huge part of her arab voterbase by clearly not giving a fuck about arab lives. Instead of condemning genocide she promised to keep supporting Israel. Trump also promised to end the war, that should tell you something about what those words mean.

Supporting genocide and deporting immigrants = fascism.

They literally ran through the streets ripping and burning Palestinian flags and shouting pro genocide chants one day ago. They’re scum.

Democrat party reaction when forced to do material analysis

Lol just watch the video if you want to know why Harris lost (it’s not because she’s a woman)

Hasan said it better than I ever could:

Not if she promotes similar fascist ideas like deporting immigrants and funding genocide.

You forgot about the part where she supported genocide.

My main complaint isn’t Harris, but I reject the notion that Harris was a ‘good’ candidate. If anyone were to suggest any such thing about Trump my response would be the same if not harsher.

I don’t give a shit about voting because I don’t live in the US. The election is over. Criticising Harris wasn’t allowed in most communities because of the elections (but racist remarks towards muslim commenters were allowed for some reason). The election is over, are we now finally allowed to criticise the current US government that is aiding in genocide?

I don’t remember saying anything about Trump. Does Trump being a fascist absolve Harris from criticism?
