    Was ist mit der flämischen Rechten und ihrer Affinität zu den Niederlanden und der Kollaboration mit den Nazis los?

      Serious question as a German living in Belgium: does this mean they wouldn’t be opposed to becoming part of Germany if push comes to shove. Not asking for a friend, don’t worry ..

      Waarom zou een extreemrechtse beweging, die zijn oorsprong vond in (samenwerking met) het neonazisme, leden hebben die Vlaamse collaboreerders van nazi Duitsland verheerlijken?

      Het zal altijd een mysterie blijven.

      De oprichter van het Vlaams Blok, dat daarna vlaams belang werd was Karel Dillen. Iemand bekend voor zijn nazi-sympatie, en een gekend collaborateur.

      Vlaams Belang is dus van oorsprong een duidelijk fascistische partij. Het is niet omdat het nu anders verpakt wordt dat de boodschap veranderd is. Meer dan 20% van de vlamingen stemt op de fascisten.

      Dat er nazi symboliek gebruikt wordt door 20% van de vlamingen is dus normaal.

      Nuff said.

      For me is a bit weird as a outsider that they simultaneously want independence and be part of the greater netherlands… As if it would not be the same shit but just with less french…

      The Flemish right wing, and all nationalists, really, are our version of MAGA.

      Grievance politics: these are people who feel like they haven’t gotten what they think was promised them: status, money, power.

      It’s well studied and known that fascist ideology can only thrive on perpetual conflict, so they keep creating them.
      They are simultaneously the powerful ones *and* the ones under threat, and victims of a Great Conspiracy.

      I guess it appeals to people who do not want to take ownership or face consequences of the limits of their intelligence (both academic and emotional), who want to be told they’re special and deserve more, and who seek to blindly follow an ideology and can outsource their thinking.

      It’s a type of cult, and hard to break.
      I think divide and educate is the only way, but it’s fucking exhausting

      I mean many Flemish were collaborators during the second world war. These families have quietly kept existing and holding onto their beliefs. The left has been unable to offer an answer to the Flemish nationalist movement, as in for example Catalonia. So it was inevitable that it would continue on the Germanic neo-fascist route

      The emblem on the jacket is from “werkgroep kesterheide” which (from as far as I know) isn’t much more than a collection of boomers with a facebook page who purchased and maintain the empty grave of a nazi collaborator in the area (that, and they enjoy the echo chamber they created for themselves).

      Mind you, the grave is empty. Because only a couple years after being burried, people still hated the guy so much they dug up the body, did God knows what with it and never put it back.
      The triangle on the emblem was the symbol of his movement and rallies were held at the kesterheide.

      I don’t know what this is about with the Netherlands and all, but I expect the guy is just proud to be part of something and stupid enough to not realise what he is part of. And wearing the symbols of your pride is perhaps the most common expression of vanity.

      The Kesterheide itself is beautiful by the way, a recommended spot for a short hike on a nice day.
