White nationalism? From the Dutch?! Who could have seen this coming?
This has been simmering for like 30 years it was just easy to ignore because US politics is like a spectator sport to feel good about your own country. Should be no surprise that white and/or Christian nationalism wouldn’t look much different in Europe
Wait, you mean to say the country that has blackface as a “Christmas tradition” and tries to pull an Uno reverse “you have to respect our culture too!!!” whenever any people of colour has a problem with it, might be racist? I’m shocked.
Zwarte Piet has nothing to do with Christmas, it’s part of Sinterklaas (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Nicholas). While Santa Claus was based off this character, its an entirely different festivity.
But he’s spot on about the racism though.
Fun fact, this guy has the same backers as Tommy Robinson. The David Horowitz Foundation.
Same as it ever was. Maybe the not so silly members of their society can have some sort of moral code and understanding of the world that allows them to live in it without being eternally fearful racists but, without some basic shared belief in humanistic and prosocial moral truths, Western society will remain largely the same (morons/laypeople are always a majority, their shortcomings come out in different ways depending on the society). Dutch East India Company, never forget!
If Geert Wilders was in a political movie criticizing the right I’d lambast the costume dept as entirely lacking in subtlety
