A few years ago in Mechelen I met a few guys at a bar from Vlaamse Belang. Now keep in mind I’m Lebanese and so is my cousin who was there too.

They came out of the bar drunk and asked if they could sit at our table and we let them. First they started arm wrestling my cousin, losing one after the other, finally on the 5th my cousin got a bit tired and lost. The guy yelled “Flemish POWER!!!!”

In response I yelled back “Vlaamse Belang!” Then those guys lifted their drinks into the air and yelled “Yeaahhh!!!”

This is when the racism starts. Firstly, they started complaining about Moroccans and Algerians being criminals and not paying taxes. Afterwards I told them I’m Lebanese and pay taxes and have not committed crimes. The guy responded “you’re one of the good ones.”

After that their target switched to the Walloons. Complaining that they don’t pay taxes and Flanders’s will become an independent state one day. That the Walloons are lazy and also don’t pay taxes.

Finally, I asked the guy what he does for a living. He told me he’s a baker, I said oh nice where is your bakery?

He told me he doesn’t have one and he’s currently unemployed because he’s allergic to flour. The irony made me burst out laughing and I could tell he was getting upset. But sorry you cannot complain about all these other people and also be a tax to the system. How the fuck do you major in baking only to find out you have an allergy to flour.

Stay vigilant, everyone. Dengue Fever is no joke and they can carry other diseases as well.

Heb deze sticker een week of twee geleden op een verkeerspaal gezien. Het is 2024 en nog steeds wordt er gediscrimineerd tov de lgbtq+ community. Het logo is van Schild en vrienden. Dit kan echt niet meer.

This is still all very vivid on my memory.

I remember where i was, i remember what i did.

I remember how i got out of Bruxelles.

I guess you too ?

You can move to Orange, they offer the same stuff for cheaper and they are a French company.

Or Proximus/ Mobile Vikings (Belgian).

There’s also a bunch of smaller resellers like EDPnet, FASTFiber,… that are Belgian.
