Hey, Belgian here. Our government cannot just de-bank, de-pension or de- anything else you are suggesting, and definitely not by the "crime" of protesting (what a ridiculous statement!)
We protest here too by the way, this weekend about 100k in Brussels.
That you make these claims is just plain up ridiculous.
You were talking about "people in the West". Belgians are people in the west, and we don't comply to your statements.
Secondly, I don't believe a word you say about Germany. Source please.
Don't generalize what happened once in Canada to the whole "Western world" and all kinds of de-.... And as far as I remember, those truckers were protesting. So they certainly didn't comply to your description of being indoctrinated to trust their government.
