2025 Surinamese general election

[JJLiautaud]

No offense, but who the fuck cares about Suriname?

I was going to say all the Aerospace and bottling companies that make shit out of aluminum:
But lol lmao.

How do you fuck up mining bauxite its fucking clay.

Can you make a chart of parties on a scale from based to soy?

NDP seems the most based, and PRP the least

I refuse to believe Suriname is a real place. I've never seen it, never met anyone from it and when I look on a map of South America all I see is Brazil and Venezuela in this area. Next crazy thing you are going to tell me is there is a land border crossing into the European Union nearby. Preposterous.

The only reason I know of of Suriname's (and Curacao's) existence is because I have some of these coins:


And some of these coins:


The first ones were minted (in Philadelphia, during WWII) for use in the mainland Netherlands. The second ones were minted (also in Philadelphia) for use in Suriname and Curacao. Literally the only difference is the left privy mark on the back, just under the date. The ones meant for the Netherlands have an acorn, and the ones meant for Suriname and Curacao have a palm tree. When I first started stacking silver/collecting coins, I'd often buy mixed foreign silver coin sets from this one Ebay seller, and I'd deliberately look for ones that had the palm tree coins in them, because they fascinated me. I've also got some of these from the Dutch East Indies.

I've learned a lot of random history just from collecting coins.

It’s incredible that you have Indian political parties in South America because the British wanted Dutch sugar.

Suriname desperately needs an Idi Amin of their own.

Suriname desperately needs an Idi Amin of their own.

They had Desi Bouterse who was a drug lord and murderer who headed a military junta that overthrew the government in the 80s, and yet still got elected president in a democratic election in the 2000s despite everyone knowing he was a drug lord and murderer who once violently overthrew the government.

I think the difference with most dictators was that he was pretty pragmatic, ruled competently and had the long-term survival skills of a cockroach.
