If it is true, which I doubt, I think the fact OP is Belgian should account for it being a joke. Belgians are the butt of the joke in that region the same way 'Irish logic' is a joke in the UK.

It's the other way around. The Dutch are the joke in Belgium because of them always being cheap.

[-] dellish@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I believe it must go both ways then. The Dutch very much make fun of the Belgians.

[-] x00z@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

It does yes. But the greentext is of a Belgian talking about a Dutch who is cheap, which is the stereotype.

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

It obviously goes both ways.

Belgians are stupid. Dutch are cheapskates.

Hey, i have extremely distant relatives in all of these places. I take offense.

[-] sniggleboots@europe.pub 3 points 6 days ago

Sorry, you can't just take offence, I'm sending you a 30 cent tikkie

‘ Irish logic’ is a joke in the UK.

I'm Irish and never heard of that

[-] crapwittyname@feddit.uk 3 points 1 week ago

'Irish logic' is where things are backwards, in a specific way. It's kind of a single mindedness. Usually it's a misunderstanding-based joke, not exactly stupidity, but a silly perspective. E.g. it takes more Irishmen to change a light bulb because one holds it and the others swing the ceiling round.
I'm first generation Irish immigrant, and my family loves these kinds of jokes, we don't see it as hateful. But I wouldn't tell them around any old Irish person.

Same, I am used to being the punch line in various jokes but I've never heard it referred to as "Irish Logic".
