Opinion of DavidB

Oh, I only see this now. Thanks to all the kings and queens who showed me their love - much love back! You're beautiful and smart and you look great today!

HP. He hypocritically supports right wing populists abroad, yet he is scared of them at his own home.

What?

What?

I’m referring to your support of Bolsonaro, when right before mentioned your concern of Nazis engaged on social media in The Netherlands.

I am a (literal) card-carrying member of a right-wing populist party in the Netherlands and I support a right-wing populist in Brazil. No hypocrisy.

I would obviously not support antisemitic far-right forces in Brazil should they exist. Bolsonaro, however, is pro-Jewish - just like FVD, who reiterated their support for Jews and Israel by voting for adopting the IHRA antisemitism definition, for moving the Dutch Embassy to Israel to Jerusalem, and for cutting all Dutch UNRWA funding just yesterday.

At the same time, while highly critical of the attitudes that many American Jews hold and while understanding that some people's views of the Jewish people would not necessarily be affected positively by these people's attitudes and behavior (to put it mildly), I am worried about the growing amount of far-right antisemitism on the Dutch right, which fortunately has no place within FVD. Baudet's criticism of Soros is both legitimate and necessary, and it is ridiculous that some people consider this to be antisemitic.

Strawmanning + moving the goalposts (your initial claim was that I don't support right-wing populists in NL) + a stunning lack of historical knowledge (Nazis never quite concealed their antisemitism).

I assumed you supported PM Rutte and the VVD.

Of all the bad things said in this thread, this one is probably the most offensive.

[DavidB.]

Oh, he supports Bolsonaro? Good God.

No wonder Israel is loathed around the world.

There might be plenty of (mostly made-up) reasons why Israel is disliked, but I'm pretty sure the opinions of one random Jewish guy in the Netherlands who doesn't hold Israeli citizenship aren't among these reasons.

Attention seeker who posts what he posts for threads like this.

Will you believe this is the first Opinion of DavidB thread? According to your theory this clearly has to be the happiest day in my life since the moment I created my account. But it's rather underwhelming, I have to say, which may disprove your theory...

[DavidB.]

Well he's Jewish with socialistic tendencies, he should really be:



but I suppose it doesn't matter given his residence.

Not really, because I would almost always vote GOP

[DavidB.]

Here's my revised, more nuanced opinion: I think David is a fundamentally good guy with serious and thoughtful views on most things and a fairly unique perspective, at least here - and at the same time, someone who trolls/triggers the libs too much.

Given that I too am guilty of trolling here, albeit from the "other side," I can empathize. Nevertheless, I will (try to) refrain from lame trolling, bad-faith criticism, and mean-spirited comments here, starting with DavidB. I will likely continue to "hate" his politics, but I won't hate him.

Best to you, David!

Boring HP
