  • Depends on the situation and who you are. If you think you can deduce someone's whole personality on one thread, then you're quite wrong

  • Brussels and Anderlecht aren't in flanders buddy, other government.

    Rich people in general. He doesn't care if they are of European descent. What he wants is a stable environment for rich people to grow richer.

    Which is fine, majority of Belgians are rich.

    We don't attract high risk investments. We attract stable compound interest investments. That's what Europe does.

    He doesn't like economic crises. He wants stability.

    Lemme visit Singapore in May and see how an authoritarian selfish shit hole (richest area in south east Asia) looks and feels like.

    (Those rich people aren't all Europeans, most are Chinese, Malaysian, etc)

    I don't vote on De Wever, I vote on Vooruit, which you wouldn't expect on whatever I'm writing on this thread.

    But I know that De Wever is the leader of the largest political party in flanders, and has been mayor of the most thriving Flemish city in the country.

    Majority of Antwerp have immigrant background and once again they elected a mayor from his party now that he's the PM.

    So maybe, these immigrants actually like him?

    We're importing people from right wing countries, you're aware of this I'm sure. My Turkish diaspora friend votes for Erdogan. Just like most Turks here.

  • I used median, your median net wealth is half ours and your average wealth is the same as ours. Just a fun fact. Well, fun for me.

    And obviously we're fucking great for bottom 20%. Minimum wage is high, we have social housing, great social mobility.

    The only people I know that are poor also didn't work for literal decades and lived off tax money.

    Their kids aren't poor though, they are educated.

    We don't punish children for their parents' mistakes.

    Your people come to our country for cheaper housing, you're aware of this. Antwerp is filled with dutchies.

    My mate is living in an apartment in Germany, he has no job. His gf is chilling on sick leave for 2 years after having worked 1 year.

    If he says he doesn't know why he's poor, I'll smack him on his face. Get a job

    He's realising that a minimum wage in Germany pays 400 euros less net than in Belgium. So his career choice of doing minimum wage jobs wasn't that great when moving countries.

    He didn't want to do a real job because the difference in gross wage is taxed anyways. Yeah it's 80% taxed in Belgium between minimum wage and 3200 euros gross. Whoopdiefreakndoo, you do the effort to improve your qualifications. The income after 3200 euros gross is taxed less.

    Short sighted, if you're poor in Belgium then you're a moron

  • What would it take for the EU to sanction Israel.

    Real politics. Who would be the new gained allies and who would be the lost allies.

    Since ties with USA (biggest funder of Israel) are weakening and we look for new partners, then we can sanction Israel.

    All the countries with Muslims will cheer for that. That's for sure.

  • That's everyone's reaction. Until more context. Basically 2 overly drunk fucks that met up in the city and had sex. One is a male student and the other is a female student. Asked consent, was given. But drunk people can't give consent.

    The girl was making advances on the guy by kissing him. Nobody would open the door for her, so she had no place to sleep. She slept at the stranger's place.

    They had consented sex. But legally a woman can't give consented sex when drunk.

    That the guy is drunk is of no importance legally.

    So yeah, sentenced guilty. But in practice it's just bullshit. So, no punishment.

    The guy's life is ruined. Probably will suicide.

    Shit happens bruv

    Idc either way. Male gynaecologists shouldn't exist.

    I'm just going to hold my hands over my ears and act like I can't read context and agree with everyone that calls him the literal devil. Grab a pitchfork and a torch and push him to the end of a cliff.

    In truth I don't care. Don't be drunk in public ya fucking morons.

  • If he was racist, then his city wouldn't be the largest destination of immigrants in flanders.

    I like Antwerp being more fancy, but yeah. I'm not poor. Do you want to be poor? Median net wealth in our country is 250 000 euros per adult. Why are you poor? Education is tax paid. Medical bankruptcy doesn't exist here. Your income gets indexed to inflation.

    Why are you poor? Making the cities more fancy is called development

  • I can only vote on which Belgian I want to represent me in the EU as far as I'm aware

  • Tankies be all for the working man, but the working man doesn't want you 🫣

  • Of course it shouldn't be limited. Sometimes it feels like they are shoving women in the direction of being more like men. Which I find unnecessary.

    Just let people be who they are

    It sometimes feels fabricated

  • Sorry for the autism :)

    Why is the bottom right picture done like that, it looks like these feminists just want to be more like men.

    Why am I saying this? Because that position of the arm is there to show a bulging contracted bicep. Women have a lot less muscle there, so it doesn't make sense.

    Wouldn't feminism be better when striving for things that women are naturally better at than men.

    We don't need to do the same stuff, everyone can do what they want.

    But don't make a fish climb a tree. Everyone should cultivate their own strengths and learn their own weaknesses.

    And for women, being physically strong will usually be less attainable. Obviously there are exceptions. When I was 65 kg I could deadlift 140 kg, so a lot of muscle isn't actually needed for strength, but still you get what I'm saying.

    This type of stuff, as I was growing up, made me actually believe men and women were the same.

    After years of talking extensively to men and women, I can assure you that's not the case.

    There should be no stereotyping, but we are indeed different and do not need to be the same.

    /End autistic rant

  • Oh for sure, guillotine her for all I care. But french folks like her 🤷🏻‍♂️ my french buddy voted for her instead of Macron.

    Personally I'd vote for Macron but I'm not french. If we could vote as EU citizens, I would vote for Macron

  • For a period of 12 years. Where the country generated a GDP of 32 trillion euros.

    That's 0,0000125%.

    The hospital I work at requires this amount of money monthly to pay us wagies, excluding the doctors. We're like 1300 employees.

    The 200 doctors earn as much as we 1300 employees.

    I'm not saying it wasn't a misallocated fund, but the sheer amount is laughable.

    A drip in the bucket.

    The fact that she misallocated it, shows lack of integrity, and the amount is enough for us to call her out on it.

    We punish her mistakes. But the amount is nothing in the big picture.

  • When problems arise, and it becomes clear that the person had sexual or romantic relationship with a Chinese citizen, then that is ground for getting fired or whatever.

    View it as an insurance policy. If nothing bad happens, then it doesn't matter. But you use it for when shit hits the fan.

    People still drive under influence of alcohol, but less people do so when they know the rules beforehand.

    Likely more effective on newer generations that do not have to unlearn habits.

  • I mean, 3 million euros is literal peanuts. Do be aware that this is a politically charged witch hunt.

    One that fortifies the EU and weakens Russia.

    I'm all for that

  • I'm EU citizen, I go into Germany if I so please. I'll do it and I'll do it again.

  • Welp, said Elon needs to be assassinated for involving himself in European politics as a non European plutocrat

  • I'm pumping into them European stocks like no tomorrow

  • Buying from other economies does two things. One, you have access to their expertise/efficiency.

    Not everyone will have invested in the same industry.

    Will miss out on cheap labour. Cheap resources.

    Don't be dumb though, selling us USD for our products isn't just "printing paper". We use those USD (mostly we sell the debt to china) to buy USA companies. It's capitalism after all.

  • Immigrants are welcome, tourists as well.

  • As if being a horny 5 year old isn't being a degenerate enough ☺️
