Seeing reports of people getting beaten up and even thrown in canals by the police. Hundreds of arrests. Police apparently bussed arrested people off to remote parking lots and beat them up without arresting them. We can’t get in contact with some comrades who were involved. Shit’s really scary.

Background: Protests have been going on since fascist Israeli football hooligans rioted in the city center last week. Local folks came out in the street and soundly kicked their asses. Both the national government (fascist) and the city government (GreenLeft party, lmao) have fully sided with foreign fascist mobs over their own citizens. They’ve declared a state of emergency in Amsterdam and heavily restricted protests.
Europe’s slow march towards fascism is becoming more of a sprint.

What the hell? Makes me think that the people saying the israelis knew they were going to get their ass beat intentionally let it happen to spark crackdown had a point.
They had fucking Mossad agents with them, I think this is almost certainly the case
Apparently the government is using the excuse of the current emergency situation to ban a much larger protest scheduled in Utrecht against cuts to university funding. I think the fascist hooligans were too macho to get their asses beat intentionally, but stirring shit up sure was convenient.
Persons falling under ACAB will never be allowed in the collective
Bureaucrat we should maybe treat some subjects a little more seriously than others in the way we express ourselves if we dont want everyone else to block us
Sorry
It’s just that it becomes harder to cope with bad news like this. This pup didn’t mean to alienate othersyou all are doing your best
We all cope in different ways, don’t stress
