Why hate Belgium

Top 10 Reasons to Hate Belgium

Travelers beware, to continue the introduction on Belgium I feel the need to explain more about all the reasons to avoid the country and instead choose a place with lower suicide rates, crazy corporations and more notable accomplishments. While hate is not the right word to describe the common resentment of Belgium it summarizes the frustration many have towards the ridiculousness of many parts of the country.

10. Belgian Architecture

Just look at the exposition Charleroi from Giovanni Troilo. This photo that won the world pressure reward, but later taken back featured the ugliness of Belgium, it the caused many problems due to it being received badly. Charleroi has been voted the ugliest place on earth.The prize was taken back due to being an accurate depiction, while many pictures did stem from Charleroi. Some post pictures of the houses: http://uglybelgianhouses.tumblr.com

9. Belgian Sprouts, among other creepy stuff

For unknown reasons Belgium appreciate strange cuisine and awkward monuments I dont know if their national monument Manneken Pis would be legal in many countries. 

8. Having the world record in being without government

Having had 589 days without a government Belgium has  made it into the Guinness book of records for country that went the longest without a government. During a long time due to the issues between the French and Dutch speaking parts they decided to go without a chosen government. The people didn't rebel they didn't care or no, they had a fries revolution after about 250 days. What do you do when you don't have a government?
 Eat French Fries in Belgium the French fries keep them unites. The lack of government caused plenty of problems but they just ate more fries

7.  Voted the most boring place on earth

Brussels voted the most Boring place on earth. I don't think Manneke Pis helps out make it more likeable. There are few interesting sites and many to ignore. Colin Farrell in the movie "In Bruges": "If I grew up on a farm and was retarded Brusges might impress me, but I didn't so it does not"

6.  Tin Tin and the Smurfs

 

No need to explain... But still l will hightlight the reality that racism is very normal in Belgium and it is often led by populist politicians. Here's the Top 10 for most racist moments in Tin Tin, the Smurfs just suck.

5.  Belgian Chocolate and the Child labor

Belgian chocolate is their supposed famed object, yet the cooa comes from other countries, mainly throughout Africa.

 Top 5 Cocoa producing countries: 

	Country		% of World Total
1	Cote d Ivoire		33.8%
2	Indonesia		15.4%
3	Ghana		15.2%
4	Nigeria		8.7%
5	Cameroon		5.9%

4.  Suicide Rates

5th Highest in the EU and endorsement of early Euthanasia. Currently in 2015 in Belgium there are even attempts to let there be earlier Euthanasia for people withe mental illness in Belgium. Apparently their issues are so severe there is the need to end it all.
  

 3. Blood Diamonds

 

In Belgium they actively have a diamond extraction and distribution making because 90% of world diamonds are traded through Belgium therefore there are Blood Diamonds, many traveling through Belgium.

2.  Racism and constant conflicts between the French and Dutch speaking

The story behind the conflict of government is the fact that the French Wallonian and Flemish people do not get along. If they already have this many issues among nationals you can imagine how they feel about migrants.

1.  Leopold II - killed 10-15 million people in Congo

Type in any search engine on planet earth the top 10 most evil men and Leopold the king is in it. There is a good reason for why he is always mentioned as being pure evil. In the end of the 19th century and begin 20th killed and trampled over millions of people in Congo and they hid it. It is not an active part of history and there are still statues in different parts of the country. See it as a Germany where Hitler is considered a good guy.

Do I hate Belgium or mostly Leopold II?

Normally we'd all live in peace and get along all over the world sing Kumbaya all day long, but it seems Belgium is a demonstration of how not all humans can be trusted and that there is good and a lot of potential evil in all of us. I made a mistake coming to Belgium in 2009, having applied for asylum in Great Britain, but still residing in Belgium I risk different consequences of this blog, knowing how F*ing crazy Belgium is. Still I am willing to risk all in order to get the right story out, after learning about the ups, downs, highs and many lows of this country after the national holiday celebrating Leopold the 1st I felt the need to speak out. 

To start off by giving a history lesson on Leopold II the one and only who motivated me to write this blog and to this day makes me fearful of what any human being is capable of. 

Leopold II became king in 1865 and remained so until his death in 1909, at a time when there were many colonial activities throughout the world. From 1885 until 1908 Leopold the second called himself the owner of The Congo "Free" state. This is in fact what separated his Free State from other countries whereas Britain, France, The Netherlands and others had colonies, the Congo Free State was to be seen as his personal property. Driven by the desire to obtain rubber and experience true wealth Leopold the 2nd wreaked havoc on Congo. To the right is a picture of a known way in which he subdued the people in Congo and destroyed many villages. Often I pondered on what was done in the royal house given the fact that this psychopath was brought forth, but their royal house remains and no explanation was given. Leopold performed a form of genocide and thought it was OK because people from Congo were his property. To make a quick summary, please take note of the fact that: 


Leopold II Killed 10 - 15 Million people!!!


To put that into perspective, Hitler killed about six million Jews, but Leopold and thus Belgium is likely responsible for the double amount of people from Congo massacred. Moreover, Belgium is a very small country, nothing like Germany which leaves us to ponder the sick power game that must have been played in order to accomplish this. The picture on the left shows Leopold the Second having been painted red, this is no coincidence given the fact he stand for the blood a human being can shed, I would not visit Germany if it were to have statues celebrating Hitler and I don't know why I didn't investigate the country. Belgium to this day in 2015 has many statues of the Belgian Hitler.

To this day Belgium remains a place with prosperity derived from their genocide in Congo. Chocolate as a national product but also many beers, explaining why they can sleep at night and somewhat enjoy life. With this they allow for there to be slave and child labor in many parts of Africa and they still have an evil impact in Congo, but this will be explained later. With this I wish to highlight we commemorate World War 1 and 2 But not what possible the biggest douches in the Universe did. I do not talk about this fact for the fun of it, but due to the fact that it bothers me and it should bother all of us. How far can we be disgraced, just have a look at Belgium.
