Just had a company event and out of nowhere they all started talking about ma freeze peach and how China is "literally 1984" and how we can see that our main conflicts nowadays are between "evil autocracy" and "democracy with western values where it could never happen that the press is lying". I had to bite my tongue so hard the entire time, which I think they noticed. In the end I just said that I don't want to provoke the inevitable world war 3 even more, which killed the mood hard lol.

It's so frustrating to be alone in a group of "intellectuals"... Especially if you need to stay civil to not get fired.

Far right extremism is a big problem, especially in Flanders. There's problems with racism and segregation still.

LGBTQ+ rights are decent I think. Trans people have no huge problems with transitioning or changing gender as far as I know. Being openly gay or bi, especially in big cities, doesn't give you much problems. But it needs work still. But in general it's pretty good, just not perfect yet.
