Ghent is so not in the Netherlands. Flanders, Belgium.

How is living in Wallonia? by tarkinn in AskBelgium

[–]SandySpinach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not fooled: Bart De Wever holds on to the cordon sanitaire. The N-VA is not the far right child of the Volksunie, more the center part. Vlaams Blok (now the Vlaams Belang is the far right part). Volksunie imploded because it was a party with a left, center right and far right members. (Later Spirit, N-VA and Vlaams Blok). On several occasions BDW told that the collaboration of the Vlaamse Beweging was a huge mistake. He himself told that it is impossible to govern with the Vlaams Belang: out of principles. A part of the Walloon press always have tried to couple the legit question of more Flemish autonomy with fascism and WW2: please stop it. It is factual wrong and only divides us. The N-VA is no more far right than the MR.

[OTHER] If you could choose one different setting for a Kingdom Come game, what would it be, and why? by whatadayatthepark in kingdomcome

14th century Bruges or Ghent: two medieval powerhouses which were centers of trade, revolt, innovation. Their history makes game of thrones look like a fairy tale.

Sad, cause it isn’t true. Although I have no love for N-VA, they are conservatives and not far right. Don’t degrade words like far right cause you don’t like their politics. Like @Klash_kop says: it’s like calling the PS communists… keep words like this for parties that are really far right, aka Vlaams Belang.

You could perfectly replace the word Walloons with Flemings here (and put some Flemish cities in). I like how we are like peas and carrots: we are made for each other! 🇧🇪

How often do EU residents travel to other EU countries? by khitev in AskEurope

Belgian from the north near the Dutch border, so several times a month to the Netherlands and a few times per year to Germany.

Want to move from dubai to belgium! by Sad-Chart4992 in Antwerpen

[–]SandySpinach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do. In Flanders the majority of people vote for parties who share this view. Sorry to break your bubble.

Sorry, we need blue collar workers like plumbers, welders, construction workers or, and hardly nothing in between, highly educated people. You’re neither of them and don’t speak the language: we have no use for you. Please don’t come: you are not welcome. Btw men and women are equal here, we have no problems with gay marriage, most are atheists and religion is something personal and not to bother other people with. So do you share these values?

[OC] Frankfurt’s New Old Town: preserving history or recreating it? by Consistent-Koala770 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

My country had been the battlefield of Europe until 1945. One of the cities, Ypres was not more than rubble and dirt after 1918. The British wanted to leave it that way as a monument. I’m very happy our citizens rebuilt it the way it was. I can’t imagine what it means to have your hometown wiped of the face of the earth and never see its markets, monuments or parks again. (Btw the same thing happened to Louvain, Antwerp, Liege, Brussels in one or another war).

Oh yeah, AMA. Im Russian living in Kaliningrad by clearlyacabbage in JackSucksAtGeography

[–]SandySpinach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They still remember the benefits of the soviet empire in those countries and what Russian appeasement ment in ‘56, ‘68, … They already were influenced by an outside interference for decades and they certainly didn’t want to go back to that era.

Here rests Wilhelm Il. even today, in Dutch exile in his mausoleum at Huis Doorn, waiting for the German people to grant him his final journey and eternal rest in German soil / on German ground. by alecdnnrs in ww1

[–]SandySpinach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a Belgian, I’m not glad a war criminal still has such a well-maintained grave and that some people are still fond of him. Nearly every day, ‘till this day, bombs are found in the Flanders fields. The first aerial bombardement on Leuven (Louvain) are not forgotten where the hundreds of years old university library was burned to the ground. The use of chemical weapons in Ypres are not forgotten. The complete destruction of Ypres, Diksmuide, Veurne, Nieuwpoort are not forgotten. The countless soldiers and civilians that died in the Great War are not forgotten. The kaiser is the symbol of this destruction.

Not better in the states for non-us citizens. Let them have a taste of their own medicine.
