⚡️🇧🇪 NEW - TOTAL PARALYSIS: Belgium in general strike...

Transport, airports, schools, hospitals: everything has come to a standstill.

Belgians are fighting against several reforms:

➥ Pensions: Increase from 65 to 67 for EVERYONE

➥ Work: cap on increases, reduction in bonuses, etc.

➥ Purchasing power: VAT on gas, 100,000 people excluded from unemployment benefits, etc.

Belgium has a REAL union culture: three major unions are capable of paralyzing the country and forcing governments to back down.

In other words, it's a pseudo-capitalist place.

Pensions fine but what's up with the rest? They doing austerity?

Ah yes, I guess they're broke.

Yet these people are still unwilling to understand the reasons for inflation and to consider Bitcoin standard. I gave up a long time ago to orange pill NPCs.

Why give up? I try to sharpen my approach every time. It shifted from arguing to understanding, from pushing to pulling. It works. It’s hardly about Bitcoin.

Where I live people are too lazy to learn anything new and too afraid to make their tax forms even more complicated. I spent a lot of time trying to convince merchants to accept bitcoin and they were like "meh, no one is asking about it". Maybe when cash disappears and CBDC is jammed down their throats they will wake up.

Why are there not millions demonstrating?
