@night6724 It had to recover from the pro cyclic policy of the economic hard right. The boom bust cycles they love so much as well as they loved the banks getting rich while creating this crisis.

European countries were hit hard by an American created credit crisis, European countries were hit by an Americacreated refugee crisis, European countries were hit by a joined Europe-USA organized energy crisis. Then there are the shortsighted destructive policies of the EU. That costs an awful lot of money while the ECB has printed about tens of thousand euro's per inhabitant to keep the Italian banks on life support at the expense of inflation. So the net salary is low compared to the pre tax salary, and currency the salary is in has lost lots of value.

What do you mean 'still'? Are you entitled to better treatment because you're white? You probably were just another arrogant expat that came to enlighten the Dutch about their own culture.

No, the EU holds free trade hostage to force it's political agenda of the unelected onto it's member states. The value of the EU is in it blocking free trade with neighbouring states when you're not in it. The EU itself does not offer benefit, it can only take away.

@0w784g The 'ever closer union' from that treaty is abused by not quoting it fully. The ever closer union between the people is what is in the treaty, not between government or administrative layers.
1
@0w784g Interpreted by the unelected and contrary to the text the elected have ratified.

It can't be foreigners bypassing national democracies to hold the people of a member state hostage.

Probably Dutch, we don't distinct between land and water there.

They are not as easily propagandized by traditional media, they learned in school that they as Germans have a German government but they see it serving non Germans more than them. They are young so they go to places where they see the cultural enrichment for themselves, they are not looking forward sharing their entire future with them and their children. This is not their "sentiment", it's a rational analysis, shared by the BSW voters making almost half of the vote anti mass immigration. The progressive left gets the sentimental voters.

@ragalyiakos Define 'better'.
1
@threesixnine369six Actually, mass immigration is very right wing.
1
@ragalyiakos Of course, they haven't had 40 years of communism, I've seen where Hungary had to come from. Not so sure about democratic rights though.

No, Indonesians don't speak Dutch because the Dutch ruled the Indonesian seas and not the people until the very late 19th century, the Dutch learned their language(s) and that way helping the establishment of a common Indonesian language.
1
@55rz55 It's a general description of the situation but even on Java there was very little direct rule by the Dutch until the very late 19th century. You could make the case that it was actually a worse form of colonization for the colonized people and the Dutch changed it for the sake of the people, but it is the main explanation why the Indonesians don't speak Dutch.
1
@55rz55 This was about Indonesia and not Java. Indonesia did not exist as a country but we use it to name this group islands. So until the very late 19th century the Dutch ruling their seas, the Indonesian seas, actually describes the situation those islands were in effectively and concise without getting into the details of different little pieces of Indonesia with more Dutch control.
1
@55rz55 Fact is that the Indonesians in the Netherlands are considered just Dutch in any official statistic. Would be nonsense to differentiate because there is no difference.
1
@55rz55 That pillarization had nothing to do with the Indonesians.
1
Do we all realize the protests were the product of a government supported slander campaign?
1
They move here, so appearently they believe this culture is better. It usually is, and most immigrant are from backward to very backward cultures indeed. Has nothing to do with racism and it's rather ridiculous to have foreigners accuse the Dutch of racism.

Ukrrainians are not asylum seekers. Asylum is not for refugees but for mass migration.
1
@00PlPu00 I agree it doesn't make sense but it is the case. When we finally got people fleeing a war, they were not given asylum.
1
@00PlPu00 It's a fact, the Ukrainian war refugees were and are not supposed to apply for asylum.
1
Nonsense, government has appropriated the private not for profit social housing of the Netherlands. There is no immigration system, it's an asylum system abused to make them Dutch citizens. It's not a problem of sheltering logistics, it's an accumalting problem. Every week the problem gets bigger with 1200 people.
1
The rule of law has also been violated systemically and tax pressure for employees has increased from 35% to 40% while these million immigrants were supposed to be good for "the economy". GDP has increased for sure, GDP per capita not so much and we are paying more for the infrastructure, services and help these immigrants appear to need.
1
@maartenaalsmeer You would have a good point if that was the situation. But VVD and D66 are neoliberal, that is the economic extreme right, about squeezing out citizens to the max to increase international corporate profits. Mass immigration is part of that. The PVV is very much and pretty far to the left of that. They are much more old fashioned conservative capitalists. Mass immigration is and has always been a right wing desire.
1
It's the members parties that have been antidemocratic.
1
@xiniks No, actually not. There were some academics claiming this, based on a research that was still in progress but they felt the need to talk about their findings prematurely, without anybody being able to read the study. Of course the media jumped on this without questioning it's prematurity and questionable methodology.
1
@xiniks That claim didn't have the false scientific pretences but was anecdotal to begin with and did not include any numbers. The interesting thing is that this had to be debunked asap, the researchers couldn't wait until the study was finished and published so it could be reviewed. The created an extra control group after the elections, which suprisingly had a lot of North Africans and Middle Easterners that didn't identify as muslims. What we do know is that the PVV was already the biggest or 2nd biggest party among the Surinamese in previous elections.
1
Maybe these advanced, morally superior, enlightened, open minded, cosmopolitan shoud stop making life worse for the people they are supposed to represent? It would help if they would face the fact that the mass immigration is a continuous process, if you keep the immigration policy the same the country keeps changing, if you want to keep the country the same you have to change immigration policiy. They should also admit to the fact that the bulk of the immigrants are a pain in the ass. Education levels, welfare and social housing, crime and safety, misogyny, social cohesion, it is a burden on top of the burden of the Walloons having to be payed for. It is not even about kicking out immigrants, it's about stopping ever more immigrants to not just form a new burden, but also frustrating the integration of the immigrants already present, making sure they will stay a burden.
1
We also should stop pretending that immigrants stop being immigrants the year after they came in. It's accumulating and even a lot of the 3rd generation have immigration background related problems like they arrived last month or even worse.
1
Nonsense. The left and the media is trying to claim the constitution and the rule of law like it is their party program, but the new thing is that government candidate NSC wants to restore the rule of law in the Nehterlands, the VVD especially has some explaining to do and so would the liberal and left wing parties if they were at the table.
1
@BilboBaggins236 Klopt, nepvluchtelingen het Nederlands staatsburgerschap aanbieden over de ruggen van de burgers en de woningzoekenden in het bijzonder heeft helemaal niets maar dan ook niets met solidariteit te maken.

@noterrormanagement The victory in the war on drugs won't be long then I guess.

Are you suggesting Wilders can't be PM because he isn't white?
1
We also know him for 20 years, by now we know there is a reasonable man without hate for people behind all the tough talk. The immigration issue is even older, one politician got murdered for that in 2002. It's just that the VVD, a neoliberal economic hard right authoritarian globalist party basically, has lied successfully that it wanted to kerb mass immigration. It didn't, and this election was one to many for the lie to succeed again.
1
@veila0924 Surinamese in Brussels? Yeah, right.
1
The EU is weak on the global stage and very strong and hostile against national democracies. It's serving all kinds of interests but that of the people. If it doesn't change it well end and take many Europeans with it, the support is because they have most media on their side.
1
@puraLusa The real democracies, that you vote and then depending on the result things get changed for the better without the unelected of the EU interfering in those national matters.
1
@puraLusa You can call it whatever you want but we don't have European elections and the EU is not democracy. If national election results can hardly make a difference because the EU ignores it's treaaties and does not do subsidiarity anymore you no longer live in a democracy.
1
The issue is not with people from the former colonies. The PVV has been the biggest or 2nd biggest party among those voters for decades.
1
No, the EU has it's own political agenda of the unelected and if you want to conserve things like democracy, cultural identity, natural demography, freedom of speech and the traditional family, the EU is your enemy that will screw you.
1
In what language? Can't they educate themselves? Why should the Flemish have to make that effort? Do they want to be educated at all? Why do they give more than a rat's ass about their Moroccan flag after being in Belgium for 3 generations?
1
The EU shill has been removing dissenting opinions I see, no surprise there.
1
Because it's not a 3rd world country but a country people want to come too. If we build houses we build roads with cycle lanes, elektricity, schools, parks and doctor's offices too. We already are extremely efficient with space and we are not going to make our country ugly to house foreigners. Dutch government should serve the Dutch, infinite international demand to live in the Netherlands should not be the Dutch government's concern.
1
@mikel9138 No, that's not the governments job. It's the goverments job to make sure the Dutch and only the Dutch can get a house.
1
@mikel9138 Yes, so the Dutch voted to change the government because the last one didn't serve the Dutch but foreig interests. The fake refugees force themselves in and the EU and legal acrobatics of the judges protect them so that's more of a complication.
1
@Mightydoggo There is value in having an open society and economy so you don't have to predict and weight each individual's contribution precisely. But the point is that the Dutch government is purely there for the Dutch people and not for any other people. A government that denies have a well defined people to serve is not serving people at all, but will serve themselves and corporate interests and that is exactly what happened and what has been voted out through voting for the PVV and 2 other anti-establishment parties. Half of the seats in parliament are now for what was described a couple of years ago as 'not participating Netherlands', the Dutch that didn't trust politics and didn't vote or voted for parties on the fringes. The implicit meaning of that classification was that people who didn't go along with politics on the cm3 among the poltical establishment weren't taking part in democracy, people who voted for change therefore were considered not participating in democracy. They do know.
1
That's because it was still the idea, at leat publicly, that a supranational organization wouldn't want to do anything against the will of a democratically elected government. Because if it does, it's a dictatorship. Opening your borders and treating another nation's citizens, companies, capital, products and criminals as their own is the most far reaching relationship a nation, a state, a nation state can have to another one. I can't say that relationship feels natural in case of Georgians and Albanians. It isn't, it would be just another influx of cheap labour after the Poles and already other Eastern-Europeans are getting too expensive.
