Why isn’t this the flag of Belgium? Are they stupid?

  1. This flag is halfway between the Netherlands and France, makes sense.

    There’s your answer.

  2. To show we do not like the French like the Dutch do. They even forced their disgusting flag on poor Luxemburg.

  3. As a flag nerd it hurts my eyes, as a logical and rational man, it makes sense.

  4. Yes. However, we should grant them this as their flair. Time to do away with the flemish and walloonish flairs.

  5. The most stupid thing about the Belgian flag is that when they asked a woman to sew it, they never specified the order of colours and whether it should show the lines horizontal or vertical. She just did her thing and it was accepted.

    The 1830 unofficial flag was horizontal: red, yellow, black.
    The colors were written in the constitution but they failed to mention either order or vertical/horizontal.

    The new flag got accepted as it came finished from the woman who sew it.

  6. Caesar said it himself, we are extremely stupid and proud of it.

    But we didn’t create the US. We didn’t fire Churchill. We didn’t leave the EU. We don’t have a horse for a queen consort. And we didn’t invade half the planet for spices only to eat baked beans on toast.

  7. What is this Belgium???

    Is this Belgium in the room with us??

    (Shhhh op might be a bit…)

  8. Because we intensely hate those two countries specificaly

  9. In the dreadful Hunger Winter of 1944 my grandfather survived solely on Belgenmoppen like this

  10. That would have made sense, which would contradict the very concept of Belgium
