Amsterdam, the very liberal/leftist capital of the Netherlands seems to have found inspiration in Seattle's example and now wants all its civil servants (15,000 of them) to learn about 'white privilege', called 'privilege training';. This is not surprising given the fact that the mayor joined BLM's protest a few weeks ago.
But the following caught my eye: the municipality will utilise 'mystery guests'snitches to grass on companies which discriminate against people who are looking for employment. The names of the companies that are guilty of 'discrimination' will be outed.
Can't they do anything without the population turning on each other? Sheesh.
Meanwhile, two men have been fined for writing a comment on the Facebook page of broadcaster NOS in 2017 which the PTB deemed 'racist' (something to do with monkeys). It's clear that the court in Amsterdam can't be too bothered with crime, but wastes its time on punishing the wrong people instead and as if there is no backlog of cases after the lock-down.
Halsema the mayor of Amsterdam is a closet radical leftie extremist.

The only form of "systemic racism" is against white people.
I am going to play the devil’s advocate here, again.
I will disagree with you and say there is enough evidence from the video.
From one perspective it was the guy’s choice to challenge an unlawful assembly order. IMO he is only provoking federal troops with his speaker there. Then the federal troops try to use a smoke grenade to move him, but the canister ends up being a dud. Then the “protester” makes a big mistake and picks up the can and throws it in the direction of the federal troops. I mean really, what are you achieving with this nonsense?
Also about the white young mother getting shot and killed because of the “all live matter” comment, well I know it’s no excuse to justify the killing but... come... on!
Going out for a walk at 3 am does not sound like a good idea generally, especially with the current racial climate.
Furthermore the guy with her had a gun on him, meaning he thought it was dangerous to go out without it.
I’m sorry but if you strap on a gun and go for a stroll at 3am in a middle of a racially charged atmosphere, you are daring the universe for a hard lesson.

Can we can agree that it was stupid not to just leave the area when the smoke grenade landed — or that it was stupid to be there in the first place? We may disagree about whether or not the guy actually "threw" the smoke grenade at federal police, based on how we interpret the video. Can we agree that it was a foolish move regardless? At what point does ones behavior justify being shot in the head by the government? We all may have different answers to that, and it's worth discussing.I am going to play the devil’s advocate here, again.

Beyond that, you're conflating a completely different incident involving different people in a different state.

Eerie Image Pulled From CD
The original cover of The Coup's upcoming album, Party Music, will be replaced with a new design, the group's label said. The cover for the upcoming CD from a popular hip-hop group portrays an eerily familiar sight.Against a backdrop of morning skies, the towers of the World Trade Center stand...

Question: I was thinking that maybe I should provide a link here to the last post I wrote on the Antifa thread, since it's probably relevant to the material on this thread, only I'm not sure how to do that. If someone can help me out that would be great.
FYI, I know I have to have another look at the material concerning the software for this forum, as well. But in the meantime I'd be much obliged.

Well from a humane perspective it is never justified. But in the real world things are not always “fair” are they?
For me I can simplify it to statistical probabilities. If you as a “protester” stay after an unlawful assembly order and continue to “protest” you increase the chances of interacting with the authorities. At that point you are not achieving any of your “protest” goals. If you even had any in the first place. So I would say its foolish to have even come and participated in said event. Every person should take responsibility for all their actions and its consequences.
Sorry for the confusion I was not really directing it at your comment. Just stating my view on the matter.

I guess it should come as no surprise that there is a "civil war" taking place inside the New York Times. This led Bari Weiss, a writer and editor of the Opinion section, to resign.
Bari Weiss Is Leaving the New York Times
According to this Vice piece:
"A controversial figure inside and outside the paper, Weiss leaves in the wake of what she recently described as a civil war at the Times between "(mostly young) wokes" and "(mostly 40+) liberals." That war reached its apex when Opinion head James Bennet, who had been widely tipped as a potential replacement for top Times editor Dean Baquet, left the paper after publishing an op-ed in which Senator Tom Cotton called for the use of military force against protestors."
Mao's Cultural Revolution comes to mind yet again, with the younger [more heavily programmed] generation denigrating and calling for the removal of older liberals.

Typical. While radical left-wing white haters like Sarah Jeong are brought in as the opinion editor, the last centrist Bari Weiss is bullied off the opinion editorial floor
This is what Bari Weiss had to say about her work environment. These journalists are vile people.
Too funny, this whole Bari Weiss business.
She made the choices that led to the conditions that have come back to effect her now!
What goes around comes around.
Looks like a bunch of children throwing a tantrum. The result of “hippie” parenting if you ask me.
A nice bible quote comes to mind: “Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child”.
