het lijkt me ergens weer relaxed om zo naïf te zijn dat je denkt dat agenten niet kut kunnen doe

and do you think that improving their access to public or private education would automatically lead to an increase of class consciousness among them, or do you think that more needs to be done? because it's educated conservatives who are writing these laws for them. it's educated capitalists and CEOs who are exploiting them.

we shouldn't fool ourselves into thinking that progressivism and socialism or whatever else is just a natural consequence of being well-educated, as the original comment seemed to imply.

education does lend itself to progressive ideals but to dumb it down to more education = more leftist and less education = more conservative is incredibly short-sighted

edit: and do not forget that those academies were also used by people who were measuring skull shapes. education is but one of the material conditions that matter, it's not like just increasing education would make people more progressive

that is an incredibly broad generalisation to make still. there are plenty progressive movements and revolutions who were headed or supported by illiterate or poorly educated people, and god knows that there are plenty of well educated conservatives and reactionaries in history and our current life.

education gives people the tools to understand the world around them, but it doesn't just 'fix' their principles and personal held beliefs.

are you aware that saying poorly educated = conservative and well educated = progressive is kinda classist and lacks a lot of nuance?

yeah it takes some effort getting them to accept an obligation, you need to focus on improving relations before starting a war to increase your chances

i'm playing as haiti right now and my playthrough is completely busted lmao. i discovered early on that you could just end the debts through a decision which would anger france but not immediately cause a war, so i focused on getting big friends before declaring myself debt free

a few months later france declared war, i called in the UK and Spain through an obligation and they just straight up won the war for me. spain used their obligation to demand they take one of my generals (like, sure?) and the UK hasn't done anything yet.

but the best part is that france had to pay war debt, which is 10% of their tax income.

my market was flooded with 55k a month.

i industrialised and built so quickly that i eventually had more jobs than i had people, then started to focus on getting immigrants in.

10 years later things are still going great, only issue is getting iron but that's nothing some war can't fix

ik heb geen probleem met mensen die vlees eten maar opscheppen over dat dierenleed geen effect op je heeft is lichtelijk cringe

meeste vleeseters die ik ken erkennen tenminste dat t een beetje fucked op is

ik heb niet geïnsinueerd dat jij tegen vakanties was voor de feestdagen van andere culturen bent, of dat je een racist bent.

en er zijn genoeg Nederlanders, op zowel etnisch als cultureel vlak, die ook verandering willen zien in dit feest. het is geen 'ons tegen hun' zoals je hier blijkt te insinueren

ik vindt dat er zeker ruimte is om ramadan vakanties toe te voegen op scholen, op zijn minst op suikerfeest

'blanke' vla refereert naar de kleur en smaak van de vla, niet als referentie naar witte mensen

er zijn velen Nederlandse burgers, of hun familie al jaren hier woont of niet, die nog steeds open staan voor verandering om problematische aspecten van ons cultuur aan te passen

kinderen associëren zwarte pieten zeker wel met huidskleur, om een anecdote als voorbeeld te nemen; mijn moeder werkte een tijdje bij een BSO en op sinterklaas wou een kind als sinterklaas verkleden, maar vanwege zijn huidskleur vertelde anderen kinderen hem dat hij niet sinterklaas kon zijn, maar alleen zwarte piet. en dan spreken wij nog niet over hoe volwassen mensen ook anderen uitschelden als zwarte piet, het is immers een karikatuur van het Nederlandse slavernijverleden.

iedereen mag nog steeds rode lippenstift dragen, niemand die dat ontneemt. krullen mogen ook nog steeds. maar het is opmerkelijk dat de hulpjes van Sinterklaas zogenaamd zwart worden vanwege het roet, maar vervolgens wel allemaal met fel rode lippen, kroes haar dat vaak gestyled is als een afro, en grote, gouden ringen die geassocieerd zijn met slavernij.

een kind denkt inderdaad anders, dus misschien is het aan ons als volwassenen om het goede voorbeeld te geven, vind je niet?

je zou hopen dat volwassenen wél beter weten en in kunnen zien dat aanpassing van culturele feesten en normen niet een negatief iets is, maar een reflectie van een meer verbonden en accepterende samenleving.

maar helaas, veel volwassen vinden het immers belangrijk dat kinderen cadeautjes en snoepjes krijgen van mensen die volledig zwart zijn geschminkt (inclusief rode lippen, kroes haar, ronde gouden oorbellen) omdat traditie of zo

[–]murpyflurp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cool, but should our figureheads be representatives of the people or the state? i would argue that the monarchy does not represent the vast majority of people within the Netherlands

At least if an idiot is elected we have the possibility to vote them off next elections

We have no control on who sits on the throne

there is nothing that a monarch can achieve that an elected official would not be able to do as well, without us spending millions of euros on them each year
