Rant 002 :D
As some of you may have understood, I am going to China on an internship this summer. I’ll be in the city of Xiamen for a period of 5 months, in which I will focus on the awareness of information security within the company. One might ask, why is Michael going towards China? Well I’ll tell you that right away. For me, China is a place full of rich history, history that interests me. I like the changes that happened in the country, without judging if it were for the better or the worst. A second point is the fact that for my field of work, there will be a major market for professionals like me once I finish my studies. The growth of IT and security is an important aspect for any organisation and where is it better to start in the country where these practices are still new and fresh.
Thirdly, I am interested in the different culture. I have some cultural differences with other people, such as being very direct. This is a problem at times even though I feel comfortable with speaking my mind. (I am called extremely direct by even the very direct Dutch). Go figure!
Fourth, the reason is personal growth. I’ve once said I want to learn the language of all the “super powers” in this world, that being English, Chinese and Russian. It’s a bonus asset for a security expert to be able to speak one of the biggest languages in the world, one that’s growing more and more important over the years. Myself I see it very possible that in a year or 10-20, the United States of America will be smaller and less significant than China, especially seeing the terrible mismanagement in the western world. I do have to say that I have yet to experience the Chinese way of managing and such.
If you look at this paragraph, you can see that I am really unhappy about the way western countries are led by their governments. We’re all following a hollow shell of lies and promises that’s called “political parties”. One example of this would be that the Netherlands voted with an astounding NO to a European Constitution. Over 70% of the voters was against this proposal, and yet the Dutch government buckles for the ideology called “Europa”. Our government, filled with spineless, moral-lacking bastards have betrayed the country by agreeing on the European Consitutional Laws, something that is completely and directly against the basic principle of a constitution.
What’s the problem here? Well it’s bloody simple.Politicians pull power and might towards themselves. Once they have their power consolidated and expand on it, they stop listening to the people of the country. We dislike something with a percentage of over 70%, and still we get buttfucked by the government. Now we’re supposed to pay even more to this union of swindlers and con-men, namely the European Union. We’re all losing our own identity the longer this farce keeps going. I do not know the situation in China, nor do I really have the focus on it. One thing I can not do is blog about it but that’s fine. As opposed to the luxury of the Western World, I see that China is developping itself. Step by step it’s improving and they move forward.
Moving on from this subject, I am really looking forward to visit China. It’s a great adventure and I am sure I’ll be baffled by a lot of things that are different between my home and China. For now, I am stressing out like mad to get all the paperwork, medication and alike sorted out so that I can go and be there for a long time (5 months). One thing I have to give you guys. Do not think this is cheap. My estimated costs including flight, rent, food, travel, laptop and a video camera comes nearby the 10k. Of course, there’s a few parts where I can bail out rather cheaply but even then I will be paying a lot.
I mentioned a video camera, by the way. I did this because I’ve strongly been considering to get a reasonable camera with extra battery pack(s) to record the experience in China whenever I can. For me, it gives more of a satisfaction as I literally can see the things I’ve done. No, I won’t make it some vlog where I stare into a camera and rant randomly. I want you as viewer of the video (once I return) to consider yourself to experience what I’ve seen.
The ignorance of Left
Since the second World War, the Dutch have been organizing ceremonies on the 4th of May, one day before the capitulation of Nazi Germany, in order to remember the fallen soldiers that have fought in WW2. Over the course of years, the veterans and victims from other wars in the world, have complained about the lack of remembering them as victims aswell. Eventually the day’s official meaning changed to “remembering and honouring the fallen soldiers, victims and families that were engaged in wars across the globe from WW2 and later”. It’s been a political debate about the intention of the ceremony for various decades. It’s a sensitive day for many people in the Netherlands, and thus also a very edgy event that some politicians use to gain support.
Ambassadors from other countries are not welcome, and people are outraged when a German ambassador who has no ties with the German past whatsoever, is requesting to be there to pay honour to those who have fallen under the German onslaught. Sons of fathers who symphatized with the nazi’s are shunned, while these sons have no ties to nazism,facism or any other related form of thinking. They have been the unlucky ones to have family with bad ties and beliefs. Aren’t they punished enough for just BEING the son of a NSB-agent (Dutch SS)?
Right-wing thoughts are a rising phenomenon here in the Netherlands. A lot of leftwing supporters are slowlydrifting to the middle, liberal part of the political spectrum. We’re fed up with the way the leftwing parties such as the PVDA (Workers Party) has been trying to make the right parties and liberal parties look bad.As an example : One of the election posters recently said the following sentence : “With Right, you pay the bills”. Just for the reference, we’ve had a left-leaning government since I was born, so that’s about 20 years already. I say 20 as the last 2 years were shifts to the other side. In other words. In the last 20 years we’ve had so many economical mistakes and issue’s that now the cause of these issue’s is blaming the other side for having to pay the bill when you get elected? How the fudge does that make any sense?
A lot of leftwing supporters are claiming that it looks as if the world is falling into the same trap that it fell into 75 years ago, with the rise of Adolf Hitler and Facism. They pull direct lines between this fucked up individual and the rightwing voters in the Netherlands. Because I vote right, I am now called a facist, racist and possibly a dangerous individual with the lack of brains due to the way I vote. I get called out for voting against the system that’s slowly breaking our country apart, that allows the extremists in various religions to get a foothold in the Netherlands, as they want us to be the country that’s tolerant. I totally do not mind being tolerant, to people who deserve it. If you profit from me by living here off government aid, and don’t dare to integrate or teach your children manners then get your fucking bags, pick them up. Get your sorry bloody damned ass out of my country as you’re nothing more than a fucking leeching bastard that has no right to even exist within this country. NOTE! I mean people who deliberately profit from the other people while not being native to this country.
I absolutely enjoy foreigners around. Foreigners that put effort in living here, that are willing to learn the language and attempt to. Foreigners, that are willing to work and adjust to the country that you live in. I do not expect it to be perfect, flawless. All I ask for the effort to put it in. One of these problematic groups of people are the children of the families we’ve brought in from Morocco and Turkey in the 1960′s. The reason for this, is that the parents are very strict in the house, and their children obey. At the moment they get into freedom (outside the sight of family) they start misbehaving. An example was recently when I travelled with the train. Three Dutch-Morroccan’s were in the train argueing and raging with hate against the dutch system. Because the police gave them a fine for noise, and about one of them being arrested multiple times and claiming this country goes to shit…
Well let me put it like this :
Shitstains like that ruin our country and should get all support and legal documents to reside in this country revoked, including that of the family. You are in this country and you fucking adapt. If you can’t do that then fucking piss off to your cave to live with other hatebeards.
