I Walked in a March with 200.000 for Basic Human Rights— How this Changed Everything
And no, nobody got sick or died
I recently joined a march against vaccination passports in Holland and in favour of a whole bunch of our rights that our government is flushing down the toilet for fear of something that’s less mild than the flu.
It was a cathartic experience. Where I expected a couple of thousand people, according to police estimates, around 200.000 showed up.
Moreover, as it turned out, it wasn’t a demonstration or a march against anything, it was a giant celebration in favour of being human, and much more relevant things to march for.
It was a celebration.
People with DJ’gear and batteries tied to their bicycles, people wearing texts like fuck the elite, old and young, yellow, black, white and everything in between, from all cultures, and tourists too.
Why has it changed everything?
While I have been feeling a diminishing minority for 17 months now standing up for my Universal Human Rights.
It’s the world upside down.
