Talk:Flemish Movement

message: "The movement is unique in that it is dominated by right-wing politics, whereas similar movements in Ireland, Basque, and Quebec are dominated by left-wing politics." Unique? Seems a rather strong claim to me, compare with Lega Nord in Italy for instance. I wouldn't even know if left-wing separatism is a trend. Junes 10:41, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: [2005 & 2006 comments]

message: Looks to me that the Flemish movement is much wider than only separatists!  On the Dutch page, it apparently mentions 5 major tendencies within the Flemish movement. The separatists are only one of them. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about the Flemish movement could clarify this further.
*Do not merge  I agree the Flemish movement is more than just political, and certainly more than just separatist. Bejnar 05:22, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

message: The Library of Congress gives the subject of this 1917 book as "Flemish movement."
:I'm only interested in knowing more about Kurt Kerlen.
:This author also wrote/edited/compiled Boche and Bolshevik.
:My contribution is to let you know about the old Library of Congress use.
:Can anyone tell me anything about Kurt Kerlen besides this author's association with Nesta Webster? Was Kerlen an important figure in the Flemish movement?
Thanks.

message: This very common quote is linked here to king Albert I. Could somebody give a reliable source of it, because I can't find one. Other sources say that the quote originates from the orders from French-speaking WWI officers, directed at the Flemish soldiers, so if king Albert I didn't use it this should be removed.

message: De Coster did write Uijlenspiegel but he wrote it in French so I don't think he can be counted as a "Flemish Movement" (or whatever its supposed to have been and become) protagnist.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.86.12.167 (talk) 21:38, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

message: "To many of the Flemish nationalists the reasons for their collaboration were understandable."
This sentence has no meaning! It says something between
1° that many flemish nationalists cautionned collaboration
2° they understood what they did
3° the frustration by the french speakers pushed them into collaboration and so it is acceptable
Go ask Bart De Wever how many jews were put on the trains during this period! Has it ever been understandable?
Nice piece of post-war fascist rhetorics!! How many Flemish are proud of this?
Flanders is indeed in need of some cultural identity!
it's a shame that after such an interesting start, the flemish movement is still now being held hostage by the right-wing parties (whom have never been benefical to culture, or is it the other way around? that lack of culture....)
This article has to be rewritten!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.86.0.140 (talk) 06:14, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Be thy own judge and thou shalt be forgiven 

message: What the hell is this? That "Pour les flamands, la meme chose" might not have a source, it's exemplary for how the Flemish were treated in the army. You couldn't become officer without knowing French, even though the majority of the soldiers were Flemish. Anyway, it's far less from the truth than someone who invented Flemish Martyr Syndrome... Go look it up in google, count the hits of "Flemish Martyr Syndrome" (5) and "Pour les Flamands, la meme chose" (761). I'd like to try the "Irish Martyr Syndrome" on some random wikipedia page, and watch how I get banned.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.181.82.242 (talk) 15:25, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

'The ensuing deadlock has led to the fact that at the time of writing (August 2011) no federal government has yet been formed and no compromise that might serve even as a basis for further negotiation has emerged.'
We are proud to say that finally we have formed a government. All te problems solved then?  i beg to differ....  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.119.214.170 (talk) 12:30, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

message: This article refers to separatists as "militants". I think that's very biased and unfair. "militant", in English, is often used to refer to groups using violence to achieve an objective in mass media, and readers may conflate the dictionary definition (used in this page) with the mass-media one. A more experienced editor suggested that this page should use the word "radical" instead. I disagree with that too. This article says that the "militants" are defined by them wanting independence. However, separatism isn't always considered radical: the Wikipedia pages for Quebec, Basque and Catalan separatist movements only use the word "militant" in reference to paramilitary groups (Catalan), and the word "radical" is only used to refer to the radicalization during the Spanish Civil war (almost a century ago) towards Franco, who was very authoritarian and anti-democratic (Basque). Also, the Flemish "militants" have much more popular support in Flanders than separatists in all of the regions I mentioned, making them less radical by definition.
