colonialist european guy with a congolese victim of hand dismemberment due to not filling the daily rubber quota. there is something very eerie about this one. leopold the second of belgium has to be one of history’s most abhorrent monsters. in terms of anti-humane activity, he is surely up there with hitler, stalin, hussein, pot etc. i have heard they still use “belgian” as an insult down there in what is now DRC (democratic republic of the Congo). if any of you have more insight in this matter, feel free to comment - i am curious. -- source link
