What is harrowing to witness is how the Dutch are complacently allowing unscrupulous politicians and scientists tell them that their lives do not matter, that their children don’t deserve protection and that their elderly and sick do not need care. That this is all “normaal” 🧵
While neighboring countries are franctically preparing for #omicron, the NL is giving it a welcome party, complete with assuring the public all is well and to look forward to less restrictions. This is psychotic. 🧵2
I wonder if it’s not indifference as much as cowardliness. That they are too afraid to confront the reality of this potentially deadly and debilitating virus that they are incapable of thinking independently, of seeing past the lies and manipulation of their government. 🧵3
I don’t know how to describe how I feel at the moment — terrified, enraged, anxious, but I’ve come to the eye-opening realization that our lives do not mean anything to the Dutch government. We are on the precipice of a catastrophe but are powerless to stop the massacre 🧵4
A functioning social democracy would do everything in their power to ensure the protection and care its citizens. Deliberate mass infection with a Class A virus and negligence to provide hospital care is a gross violation of citizen’s rights. This is a corrupt failed state! 🧵5
The only thing we can do is to shelter at home, limit social contacts and wait until #omicron 🌪 ravages this country. Listening to Rutte et al can cost you or a loved ones’s health or lives. It’s #SquidGame where our survival or death doesn’t mean or change anything. 🍿
