I couldn't believe the businessmen like 3 months after the vote saying "see, we're still fine, no crash or anything". Fucking hell it's long term you fucking imbeciles.
It amazes me that the whole hoax campaign that was behind the vote was exposed but they said "well, the vote went through anyway, so we're going to do it even though it turns out it's not what people actually want."
Same with trump and russian collusion.
Only in that case they just went with "no collusion". Yes it was well documented and proven and would have brought charges if there wasn't a made up pretend DoJ "policy" against charging a sitting president, but y'know. no collusion I guess? Because then we'd have to understand the entirety of the administration was illegitemate and those SCOTUS bastards the usurper, the drunk rapist, and the handmaiden all have to go. And y'know. We can barely keep the trains from derailing.
And it’s only DoJ “policy” if the president is a Republican - that’s a really important part of the fine print.
Who could possibly have predicted the obviously objectively bad thing would be bad?
Project fear!
Does Geert Wilders still believe in "Eurabia" and "Netherabia" and other Great Replacement bullshit?
Probably, but he has dialed his rhetoric down a bit in an effort to seem more reasonable and stay in the talks to form a coalition. But I don't trust it one bit, if he had enough right-wing support, he would still spout the same bullshit. Luckily our democracy is well designed enough that he can't just tear it down, even if he had a majority.
He believes whatever his Russian masters tell him to sell to the public.
What is that hair???!!!
right wing and weird hair. It's a winning combination, apparently.
His natural hair is brown and curly. Some say he bleaches his hair to mask his partial Indonesian descent.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
