    Newsflash, every society does censorship. It’s hilarious how westies think they got the balance right, while everyone else has got it wrong while the west is literally imploding now. 🤡

      Aight, show me how my country Belgium censors me.

      Just a hint, criticising the government is our national sport.

      Which is why I find you utterly pathetic being unable to criticise the country you wish to live in.

      I am completely fine with moving to Indonesia. They have an ex general as president, that’s crazy dumb. He’s mixing military with political power and going back to 1998. The taxes are too low in Indonesia, they need to increase that in order to fund education.

      See. It’s easy. Now grow a fucking spine.

        I have no problem criticizing China when I talk to serious people who have a clue regarding the subject. I’m not going to do that while being bated by an obvious troll such as yourself. Meanwhile, your ability to jeer at the oligarchs who rule over you is known as jester’s privilege. Nothing to be proud of.

          The median net worth of an adult Belgian is 250k euros.

          In china it’s 27k euros.

          Those damn oligarchs :(

          In Russia median net worth is 8,5k euros.

          Those damn oligarchs :(

          If only I had 200 billion USD net worth Putin at my side

              Real Belgium? These oldies have been on strike and they haven’t seen a tank. Welcome to democracy. The NVA has the most votes, they were voted for in order to increase the work force.

              Major amount of people on sick leave for more than 5 years. People were on unemployment benefits for more than 2 years. People used to retire at age 55. While barely having children.

              For example my mate is in Germany now, his gf worked one year and now she’s relaxing 2 years on sick leave for “burnout”.

              They are reducing taxes for people that work.

              The minimum wage in Belgium is high. Education is free or cheap.

              If you want to work, you have work. Social mobility is high in Belgium.

              if we correct for purchasing power then the net wealths would be.

              Belgium 333k euros. China 54k euros. Russia 28k euros. (Compared to USA)

              With a year’s savings I can buy a 100 sq meters house in Indonesia. A Chinese or Russian cannot do that.

              Not only is my internal purchasing power far higher, so is my external purchasing power.

                    Oh look more projecting. If you knew anything at all then you’d know that China has seen the highest rise in standard of living in human history. Being an ignoramus that you are, you don’t even bother considering where China started at when comparing to your shithole colonizer country. Your whole standard of living is built on brutal colonial exploitation, particularly in the Congo.

                    From 1885 to 1960, Belgium plundered the Congo Free State (later the Belgian Congo) for rubber, ivory, and minerals, enabled by forced labor, mutilation, and mass killings that claimed millions of lives. King Leopold II’s personal fiefdom and subsequent state rule extracted vast wealth, financing Belgium’s industrialization and public infrastructure while leaving Congolese society impoverished and fractured.

                    Today, Belgian corporations like Union Minière (now rebranded as Umicore) maintained control over strategic resources such as cobalt and copper, critical to modern technology, through neocolonial trade arrangements. Belgium’s social welfare systems and economy at large are directly subsidized by extraction of resources and labor from the Global South.

                    Belgium has never done any meaningful reparations or dismantled systems of exploitation, it’s a parasitic nation. Its prosperity, built on ongoing extraction, underscores a global order where colonizers thrive at the expense of those they exploit.
