Last elections in The Netherlands I browsed the policy proposals of Geert Wilders’ PVV party and it struck me how a lot of them seemed more explicitly progressive than those on the liberal left. Then again, the outer facade of the NSDAP leaned into the same meme, which could be boiled down to: What if socialism, but not for those people?

People actually observing the PVV in action will note, though, that the ‘fight against the rights of undesirable people’ item on the agenda tends to take precedence over all the other campaign promises.

It used to be that conductors gave rhythm by banging a staff on the ground. Baroque composer Jean-Baptiste Lully killed himself this way, by impaling his foot with the staff and developing gangrene.
