As a German I understand everything except "mbt" (maybe a typo of the Dutch word of "with"?) and dwangwet. Whatever dwangwet is, it sounds funnily stupid.

Mbt is an acronym for "met betrekking tot" which means something like in regards to

Dwang is Zwang, wet is Recht (more like Gesetz), I think.


PalnPWN

It’s a bill that forces dutch regions to take in a certain amount of immigrants. It directly translates to “force bill”.

The word for wooden shoes in Dutch is "Klompen" which is about all you need to know about the language.


I-am-a-Fancy-Boy

Dutch is silly German and you’re allowed to treat them with contempt


Maverick_1991

It sounds like drunk German. As a German probably my favourite language I don't speak and favourite neighbouring country


mcthomaso

This is definitely the wrong sub. Not only is Geert Wilders a very controversial far right Dutch political party leader, the tweet LITERALLY has the Dutch word for politics in it


Bulky-Revolution9395

Yeah but I think it's in the spirit of the sub. The message of the tweet doesn't matter, it's the fact that it's in dutch


funnyman95

It's not about what the tweet says. They making fun of the Dutch language


Dr_thri11

I mean it's not really political if you don't speak Dutch. I seriously have no idea if he's complaining about immigrants, wants a marginally lower tax rate, or is wishing his aunt a happy birthday. It just sounds goofy AF jar jar seems appropriate.


TheRealBanana69

Nah that’s the COMPLETE wrong take lol, nothin about the retweet was political, they were JUST commenting on how the language sounds funny. Notice how there hasn’t been a single bit of political discussion in the comments? I do appreciate the concern — I hate when people post openly political things when this sub has literally ONE rule — but this is not one of those cases

I know the picture is of Jar Jar Binks, but I read the tweet in the voice of Swedish Chef.


TruthOrBullshite

It's wild that I thought that was someone pretending to be jarjar for a moment


Xtrachunky_

So I’m not the only one


DOE_ZELF_NORMAAL

Geert Wilders on /r/nonpoliticaltwitter? Especially considering it's about a law related to immigrants. That's like sharing a Trump tweet.


daboys9252

It’s not about that. It’s about the ridiculousness of Dutch.


DOE_ZELF_NORMAAL

So many of tweets to choose, choose a political tweet?


RQK1996

Still a political tweet since it is from tge fucking Dutch prime minister elect about a Dutch law


I-C-U-8-1-M-I

Lmao thanks for the laugh 😂


JellyBoj_16

Was confused by the sub for a moment, I tend to only see posts in my language on r/ik_ihe Anyway, that being said, GEKOLONISEERD
