The rioting is not a crisis of people rebelling against an imagined “lockdown”. It is a crisis of a failed and broken state — local and national politics, institutions (RIVM, GGD), judicial system, bank, education that no longer serves the people but special market interests. 🧵

Polarization is what happens when a population votes for psychotic politicians who prioritize the special interests of the 0.1% over the actual people they are meant to serve and protect, supported by gated-institutions of mediocrity who are sources of misinformation. 🧵2
“Psychopathy describes a set of personality traits and behaviors frequently associated with lack of emotional sensitivity and empathy, impulsiveness, superficial charm and insensitivity to punishing consequences.”
We are being governed by psychopaths. 🧵3

There is nothing normal about a policy to mass infect 17+ million people that causes death and long term illness. It is not normal to use children as the vehicle of spread, the main turbine of infection. It is not normal to bring hospitals to collapse.
This is all psychotic🧵4

Has Rutte, Van Dissel, De Jonge, Grapperhaus ever shown remorse for their mass infection policy that has caused societal disruption, mass suffering, deaths and disability? Will they show grief for the 45,000 total lives lost after this wave is over?
This is manslaughter.

Psychopath, psychotic and manslaughter are strong words that isn’t polite. But it’s the current dystopian reality we are in now. Unless we directly and loudly call it out, we remain victims.

What’s even scarier is that Rutte opened the gates of hell and chaos with his lies and manipulation, staying psychotically committed to his mass infection policy and gaslighting the population. He has made room in society for fascists and polarization. 🧵7
While neighboring countries are alarmed at infection rates and impending hospital collapse, Dutch politicians and institutions are still committed to their mass infection policy, chasing the herd immunity threshold at the cost of healthcare, 10,000 lives, and social cohesion 🧵8
Even if Grapperhaus will never formally declare #codezwart —yet in reality hospitals must ration care — Gommers has a valid point that every single one of us should take to heart 👇🏽
