You forgot our national blackface holiday
This image is so cursed
It is also a highly political picture capable of destroying families and long standing friendships. Actual riots have happened because some people say: 'we don't want a racist caricature in our holiday'.
I went to the Netherlands around christmas to visit a girl I was dating and got pretty freaked out seeing those things performing in the middle of the train station. Like I felt more racist just for being able to see them.
Yeah must be shocking. Luckily it's not the norm anymore at most places. I have an unfortunate blackface pic of me as an oblivious kid sadly.
oh shit, for a second i thought that was justin castroson

If the Roma people existed in amerika they would be murdered in the streets en masse. A marginalized group who's way of life infringes upon the amerikan god of property rights? They wouldn't last a week.

technically still an improvement
if only a small one
I mean, that's all true, and yet they're still light-years ahead of the US...
Also, in guessing this was made by an American, because nobody outside of there would call left parties liberal. Liberal parties are to the right, it's just that the US doesn't actually have an actual left.
Progressive in appearance only
Americans seeing this
I'd still much rather be there than here lol. (Been talking to a friend about escaping to them).
portugal, a "social-democracy", isnt doing much better with its increasing privatization of national industries and growing wealth gap of the poor and the rich....all supported by the, i kid you not, "socialist party of portugal".
Shout out to the cuban doctors tho, my entire family in portugal is getting treated by cuban doctors as portugal lacks medical professionals because people with degrees keep emigrating from portugal to go somewhere where the wages are better.
Why are Cuban doctors there?
Unironically humanitarian reasons

What?
The dutch are incredibly racist against black ppl, iirc they had "human zoos" of kidnapped Africans until the 1960s.
They are still lightyears ahead of the us lmao, they will most likely ban non-electric cars in the whole country, they mostly use bikes and use recycled materials for building roads also its mainly powered by solar/wind power
It's too late. The grasp of finance capital on the US' state of political economy is so strong that the ruling elite scoff at the notion of even providing some crumbs of the pie, i.e., imperial super profits, to placate domestic labor.
the dutch are the americans of europe
On the upside, immigrants can't freeze to death during winter if there's no more winter which there won't be anymore soon
