      Anti-immigration rhetoric has been pushed HARD in Dutch society lately. Random Dutch people I followed on social media suddenly start talking about how white people are being replaced and never commit violent crimes. It’s clear the global right wing media engine is dumping resources into expanding their electoral successes in the Netherlands. Dutch right wingers are dumb as fuck, so they are swallowing the propaganda whole hog.
