Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

we can expect the response from the Belgian military elite will be swift and decisive.

Like a solid fifth of Europe yeah

i'm pretty sure it only even exists because flemish people were all "ohohohoh we need ze flemizh king"

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

flemish? The belgian monarchy is german because nodoby wanted a dutch or french king. They are close to the british monarchy. Saxe-Coburg-Belgium is the house's name.

I didn't say i graduated with a degree

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 38 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Actually, I'm the future queen of Belgium and I have no idea who this person is

[–] WoodScientist@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You know what? Make a play for it. People used to contrive to steal crowns in all sorts of convoluted ways. I want to see someone try to do that...but for a constitutional monarchy! You poisoned and slept your way to the highest royal office...a purely ceremonial office.

This could be a comedy series. Super serious Game of Thrones style, but at the end of it all they just get to be a tourist attraction.

Do we really want someone who was kicked out of Harvard to be queen? starting to think we have no choice but to abolish the monarchy.

[–] Llituro@hexbear.net 29 points 3 weeks ago

this would be a lot more fun if they were life swapping her with a congolese person and not just trying to punish harvard/reserve spots for illiterate crakkkers from iowa

[–] XxFemboy_Stalin_420_69xX@hexbear.net 27 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

there's no such thing as belgium

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 26 points 3 weeks ago

The Belgian aristocracy will remember this

[–] CommCat@hexbear.net 24 points 3 weeks ago

[–] huf@hexbear.net 21 points 3 weeks ago

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 19 points 3 weeks ago

critical support to the ban in wrecking the princess

[–] CptKrkIsClmbngThMntn@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

Well, Trump is a republican after all shrug-outta-hecks

[–] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago

Have they considered singing a really angry Opera about it, that usually works out for them.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 12 points 3 weeks ago

😂😂😂

Pretty sure Xi's daughter also goes to Harvard and must be caught up in this also?

[–] xiaohongshu@hexbear.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Xi’s daughter graduated from Harvard more than a decade ago.

There have been rumors of her returning to the US in the last few years but none of that are substantiated.

But yes they are all part of the elite circle. She went to Hangzhou Foreign Language School which is an international school where the most powerful send their kids to, most of them would end up in top tier Western universities.

I fell for a misinformation youtube video then that the algorithm gave me lmao. There are dozens and dozens of videos that are like "Xi's daughter to be deported?!" right now and I took it at face value without checking her age.

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Most higher up Chinese political cadre would send their kids out for study, this is an open secret for a while

[–] ClathrateG@hexbear.net 10 points 3 weeks ago

Hopefully she sends the Brabant killers out for one more job
