"Protestors" is being very generous at this point.

Well this isn't the 'Pro Palestinian Front' that occupied the University of Amsterdam but rather a far bigger left wing mob of students and teachers who are angry at the police for breaking up the protests.
Amsterdam is probably the most left leaning big city in the Netherlands, filled to the brim with unemployed activists, migrants, green party members, squatters, marxist queers, climate boomers and foreign students most of them high on drugs 90% of the time. Police have gained the upper hand, clearing out the streets In some places they still have to fall back though Spoiler: (click to show)
Retard protests have made their way to one of my old universities.
Events so far (not necessarily in order):
Fucking retards the lot of them.

ngl it would be ironic if Trump picked Vivek as his VP to effectively "outsource" American conservatism to an Indian.
Imagine being an illegal immigrant and being told by a grifter like Ramaswamy to go back to your own country "Look this Ramasomething guy had a lower rate than DeSantis and Nikki, he is even willing to work weekends, how could I not?"

So whats up with the kiddos.
I went to get some groceries, bunch of dudes hanging and smoking outside, probably 17 or so. Very nervous as if they had just shot somebody. I nearly pass them when I hear a very soft voice. "Sir can we ask you something" "Yeah sure" "Sir if we give you 20 Euro will you buy 2 packs of Marlboro gold for us sir" "No" Dude looked like he was about to kill himself as I grabbed a shopping cart with a coin slot without putting a real coin in. Tucker destroyed. Guess it's part of the Andrew Tate playbook of bending reality to your will with some jedi mind tricks and he failed? I should think of some cringe influencer shit to say next time, something like: "Remember lesson 15 kid - Only NPCs ask others to run their errands for them you better give me 20 push ups. Also I'll take that 20 so you'll remember the cost of failure."

It’s a clusterfuck. My GF was at the rehearsal for yesterday’s semi final and sent me a video of most of the audience turning their backs and loudly booing the Israeli entry. They were very clearly not showing the crowd or using crowd audio on the televised show.

Apparently it started with the semi-final where some of the contestants and fans felt that Israel didn't deserve to win or even be there(for obvious reasons) but was likely voted in by the public because of the anti-Israel protests (leaked unconfirmed numbers from an Italian broadcast showed 60% of the public voted for Israel in the semi-final, with Joost Klein coming in second at 6% or so).
From what I gathered there was an interview with the contestants. In 'silent protest' the Greek contestant pretended to sleep as the Israeli singer (Eden Golan) spoke and Joost Klein (Dutch contestant) covered his face with a flag. Next a reporter asked Eden if she felt her presence put everyone at risk because of all the security measures and protests at Eurovision and if that was the case if it would've been better if she hadn't shown up and then someone said: "You don't have to answer the question". At that moment Joost yelled: "WHY NOT?" . There are some rumors that afterwards a crew from Sweden(?) chased Joost to ask him to clarify his comment and he allegedly pushed them(?). But this is unconfirmed. Another rumor states that Joost intended to make a political statement during his next performance and the organization caught wind of those plans. The third rumor is a mix of the two with some drug use added in. In any case, Joost got barred from the jury final pending an investigation into his conduct and an "incident" with no comment from the Dutch side or the Eurovision organizers. He already was under a lot of pressure from many on the Dutch left to cancel his attendance to Eurovision because Israel was allowed to participate. He went anyway saying that he didn't want to make it political but this was prior to the Rafah invasion and the protests in Amsterdam. Many on the left feel it is already political because Israel is there and the public simply votes for Israel. The Dutch public broadcasting networks are Hamas mouth pieces so I'm not surprised that Joost would be influenced by their thinking on the conflict as well as they have groomed him over the years. I suppose if Joost is disqualified and the pro-Israel vote is big enough, the outrage may even get violent(?). If they let Joost back in for the finals he'll win the sympathy vote against the jews and big Eurovision unless the pro-Israel vote is bigger. But at his point, this has nothing to do with music anymore and is merely another battleground for the Israel conflict. Sad for sure but may also be eye opening to people as to what uncontrolled migration and the "greens" have done to Europe.

I'm hoping for an Israel win. Not because I care about savages killing other savages, but because I care about the absolute shitshow that result would produce.

Controversial, but all these being the same thing makes any individual cause rubbish. Tipping their hand at this all being dumb commie shit and anger at normal happy people alienates them away from caring about recycling or whatever.
Moreover there’s no leverage. They dramatically worsen the quality of life with their causes, and once the they get their way, move on to the next destructive thing. Anti progress.
