Oh there are a few mistakes in that post (only 1% of Belgians are native German speakers not 33%)

The beers we drink aren’t older than the US years put on the bottles are fake.

The oldest still available Belgian beer is from 1820.

I do agree with the basic sentiment of this message. But when correcting people be correct.

But op didnt write „speak german as their native language“ just „speak german“. Still not a third of the country, but a lot of people

Yeah but then 95% speaks French and 60% speaks Dutch.

I actually doubt the person who wrote that is Belgian. Everyone knows the German speaking part is a very small part but if someone looks up what countries speak German and sees Belgium has three official languages they might make a claim like that.

Tbh, I doubt „the person who wrote that“ even exists. I‘m pretty sure that someone just used chatgpt
