I’ve lived the last fifteen years in The Netherlands & although I doubtless have a limited & biased view, I’ve been happy with what has seemed broadly to be a progressive, tolerant, & environmentally-conscious society.

I guess this new centre- & far-right government coalition is about to trash all of that with its reactionary populist bullshit 🤮

@markmccaughrean @JonnyT We learn, but it's just that it's not enough of us who do and we don't learn fast enough. We keep making the same mistakes over and over and over and by the time we (as a species) figure it out it will be too late anyway. I'm so full of sorrows and anger these days that every time I see a physiotherapist they find the places I store my emotions in my body and it's like emotional vomit. I just can't any more. Is there hope? Is there anyway forward beyond greed and hate?
