I’ve been doing a lot of anxiety inducing stuff lately in the hope that I’ll get used to the pressure and learn to deal with it. Will let u guys know in a few weeks or months if it works or if I get burnt.
I edited my comment to use the same wording as you did (because you didn’t use the phrase terminally online in the first place).
I don’t think terminally online is a very good phrase anyways because it’s often used to shame people like me who are dependent on online communities. It can be used in the way you describe but I think it’s better to clarify that to avoid a misunderstanding.
I don’t think it’s fair to put it all on people who spend a lot of time on the internet. I’m very online due to a chronic illness and know what it’s like to depend on an online community to interact with people. Mod abuse happens due to too big fragile ego, simple as.
Police hasn’t arrested anyone related to Thursday night attacks on hooligans (all arestees were protesters), they have a team looking at footage and witness accounts first now. I’m a bit afraid this guy will get arrested but I don’t know how much proof there is against him. Police did say that they might try to charge for terrorism as well as and antisemitism which would be wild if they succeeded.
Weed really helps relieve my ME/CFS symptoms. I smoke it now but I’m going to see if I can get some low dosage edibles to keep my lungs healthy.
Yes I always say, if the floods come, we deserve it.
Yeah that sucks. The videos only work for people who care about the truth.
Maccabi hooligans in Tel Aviv airport
They’re singing the same song as in Amsterdam and now I finally have a good source on the translation:
Let the IDF win and fuck the arabs
Why is school out in Gaza? There are no children left there.
Video evidence makes it relatively easy to refute the media lies. I’m a bit burnt out right now but maybe I’ll make an effort post later that include events + videos for context. You can look up cestmocro on Instagram, they have a good summary of the events with videos.
I’m not sure they were Ajax fans. Most of the fights were between Maccabi and locals that were angry about the islamophobia, racism and vandalism of the night before. Ajax fans beat up a pro Palestine protester last Sunday, I don’t think they’re cool enough to be pro Palestine.
Yes that rethoric is big in NL as wel currently, especially by our extreme right government. They’re inciting hate towards Moroccans and the coming weeks we’ll see the results of that through lots of racism and targeted attacks.
The atmosphere in the city has been very grim already this whole week due to the racism by Maccabi and Ajax supporters, and lots of Moroccans already didn’t feel safe in the city due to that.
Here’s a video from the evening itself. I think that the busses brought about half the hooligans back to their hotel, the rest probably roamed the city in smaller groups getting into confrontations with angry locals.
I made a list compiling the events from a few sources including cestmocro and plant.eenolijfboom on instagram:
Edit: added some more details on Thursday evening from the video linked.
Note how the police only ever acted to arrest/remove pro Palestine protesters and did not act when protestors were attacked, flags were destroyed, or racist chants were yelled by Maccabi supporters. They’re also calling the protesters ‘rioters’ in their official reports to media and didn’t use a single bad word like ‘hooligan’ or ‘rioter’ for the Maccabi supporters. The one sidedness of the mayor and police is very apparent and people are angry. Amnesty NL is calling the events unacceptable (going with the narrative of the police) and losing credibility as are almost all ‘left’ political parties.
All large Dutch new outlets yesterday were only reporting on the poor IOF nazis getting beaten up with no word about all the events that came before. This obviously angered people even more and now media are slowly publishing ‘recap’ articles are that mention at least some of the racism and provocation but still go fully with police narrative.
Antizionist jewish organisations that are speaking out about the hypocrisy are getting completely ignored by media outlets while zionist jews will get exclusive interviews about how afraid they were for weeks to come.
I declare November 8th Dutch Arab appreciation day.
The disconnect between the perception of the people vs what is published by news outlets and what politicians are saying is bigger that I’ve ever experienced. This event is opening the eyes of a lot of people around me that called me crazy for saying that the media is biased. It happened during the student encampments as well but I feel like there is a much stronger campaign on social media right now to combat the disinfo that is spread by all our local news outlets.
Edit: maybe it’s good to add that this disconnect is mostly felt by young people.
Told my friends I was lonely and now they visit me once a week which is nice.
Legal names are another form of oppression we have to take into account sadly. I decided not to change my legal name unless at some point I find a name I want to have more permanently. But that’s not ideal if you don’t want to use your deadname wherever you need to give your legal name.
I only remember your name because you’re the biggest hasan hater on this site
