Please don’t encourage this. Last year, multiple Dutch politicians were threatened at their homes by protestors wielding torches, with some leaving politics out of fear for their families.
If you want to use your right to protest, do so without threatening people’s life and family.

- Tijdreiziger 3y agoSomehow it is only a small part of the political spectrum whose voters have felt the need to resort to such actions. Assuming you’re familiar with Dutch politics, I’m sure I don’t need to spell out which part and what percentage of Dutch voters they represent.
