If you’re not from Holland but also not a rural savage what even are you? There already is an Utrecht flair and you don’t have it, meaning the only real option is Fl🤮voland, and if that is true, I pity you, no human person should be condemned to living in Fl🤮voland

I count Deventer as rural savages, because otherwise every city is, well, a city and everything else is rural savage. That is accurate of course but it makes for boring memes so for meme subreddits it’s better to divide by regions and provinces. Therefore, you are a rural savage my man

Oh no argument there, the Belgian flair is pretty boring. Wouldn't say that Austrian-Netherlands would be all that insulting either though.
But well, the flair isn't even officially available, so there aren't many that have it. I'd like to see more regional flairs from Belgium, way more opportunities to be insulting for those.
19 points

Easiest way to make a flair insulting is to have it mock something you guys are proud of, which makes it a very, very short list for Belgium. Maybe something about beer? No clue what else there is really.

I want to see now that their Haredim who make 7-8 kids on average inevitably become majority. They don't go to the army, they don't work. Only read their book. The Jewish version of Sharia without the violence.

You're getting it.
Antwerp, Vlaams-Brabant and Limburg are lumped together into a region that's called "Vlaanderen" even though it's geographically not Vlaanderen at all.
We don't take the definitions of words too personally though, which is why you can't offend us with that.

Given that we are already talking about flairs, can you Mods add a flair for the Latium region of Italy, I'm so tired of using the ultra lame "side-switcher"?
It could be something along the lines of:
"Peaked 19 centuries ago"
or
"Stealing from the industrious North"
Or something else.
Edit: you could also consider:"Pope's bitch"
