Not inaccurate but also not entirely accurate. While Europe is indeed stabbing itself with both hands, the US is only stabbing itself with one. The other hand of the US is also stabbing Europe.

To offset the negative news: The Netherlands just elected a more left leaning government last week. Still some ways to go, yet progress made!

I cannot but hope for the defeat of my country... it'd just be nice if it wouldn't hurt me so much, but that's selfish of me.

Well will the left leaning govt undo it's theft of an entire subsidiary that China paid 3.6 billion for? Or at the very least reimburse the 3.6 billion usd Wingtech spent on the company the dutch just stole? Literal piracy isnt a great look. Wonder how the dutch would feel if China seized a bunch of privately owned dutch assets within its borders?

No it's a progressive liberal party, not leftist. Amd there's not a government yet amd they have to work together and join a government with more right wing parties

LOL its a pro-war austerity neolib government that will only boost fascism in the long term. Just because the PM will be gay doesnt mean its progressive. Spahn & Alice Weidel are both queer (sorry not queer just married to a woman in the latter) as well and faaaaar from progressive.
