He literally didn't do shit.
Leftoids see him as a Belgian Hitler, but the reality is he just didn't give a shit.
He wanted money, so he bought Congo.

He put some bureaucrats in charge with a blank check to make it profitable.
Then these bureaucrats sent a bunch (about 1000) European mercenaries there with a blank check to extract to extract rubber.
Then these European mercenaries hired a bunch (about 25,000) local negroes and gave them weapons and a blank check to make their fellow negroes harvest rubber.
And then these locally hired negroes started mutilating and cannibalizing their fellow negroes like they always had, but this time in the name of Leopold.

He wasn't some mastermind who carefully organized a genocide, he was just an old bearded dude who didn't care.
>>
>uh yeah guys so you see England and France also did colonialism and Leopold didn't personally order hands to be cut off so it's uh actually not his fault that he ran a ruthless system of rubber extraction that caused millions of deaths and mutilations

I thought yt people took responsibility for their actions?

>He wanted money, so he bought Congo
He took it because all of the great powers wanted it.
>French for their east to west-spanning empire
>Germans for Mittelafrika
>British for Capetown to Cairo (after the Germans got Tanzania)
Also, he went bankrupt funding colonial development in the Congo before rubber exploded in value.
>>
>>18464064
Watch the video linked by another anon. The "economic exploitation" you are thinking of never happened. Leopold's personal fortune dried up from funding the Congo project during its first few years.
>>millions of deaths and mutilations
Once again, never happened. This whole narrative was contrived by a self-admitted anti-White marxist Jew who deliberately took quotes out of context to demonize Leopold as part of the greater White guilt campaign. The initial slander against him back in the early 1900s never even mentioned "atrocities" and solely focused on economic issues (for British businessmen, that is).

He was totally aware.

They had total control over them lol

Force Publique (and by direct extension Leopold's) procedures explicitly pushed for mutilation and killing by their orders.

>He wasn't some mastermind who carefully organized a genocide, he was just an old bearded dude who didn't care.
Oh he totally knew. Not sure why you pretend it was the 1500s at the time in regards to communication.

You're literally lying.
Force Publique had instruction to punish those who didn't meet the quotas, but it was never asked to them to mutilate and cannibalize the targets.
This was just the negroes applying their own cultural vision of what a punishment should be..
>>
>>18464111
>Force Publique had instruction to punish those who didn't meet the quotas, but it was never asked to them to mutilate and cannibalize the targets.
If a village failed to meet the quota they were to be killed, more so the FP had to provide proof of a punitiative killing. Why the revisionism methie?
>>
>>18464116
If they were to be killed, why are there so many photos of mutilated Congolese? What's the reasoning behind punishing your work force by either reducing its efficiency or outright exterminating it?
>>
>>18464088
thats what 16 yos are for though
>>
>>18464127
>why are there so many photos of mutilated Congolese?
Because the system incentizied the use of hands as a currency. You either die or you pay in a hand, the bureaucrats and officers just needed the hand as proof the FP was doing their job (killing people) or not wasting bullets.

>What's the reasoning behind punishing your work force by either reducing its efficiency or outright exterminating it?
Deterrent. If you don't work you get shot, if you can't meet the quota you get shot. The death of a worker means nothing because all these plantation state regimes operate off the assumption that there's boundless amounts of people to rope into the whole shitshow.

He wasn’t. The Belgians knew they couldn’t properly police people of different cultures. So they hired local Blacks to control the work force, and they chose to chop off the hands. Then young revolutionaries heard of stories of hands being chopped off and traveled with cameras to paint the whole thing as a Capitalistic Monarch’s sin. They never even mention the mercenaries who would persist up until being deployed in WW1.

The fact that some Jewish huckster whose life reads like an antisemitic /pol/ caricature just wholesale made up a genocide about an obscure time/place in history nobody knows about to factcheck and everybody just rolled with it and now it's basically common knowledge to millions is just too funny
>>
>>18464528
It's Zoomer/Alphiespeak for "cool obscure topic".
>>
>>18464064
My critique would be that the genocide implies some how the primitive congo had a larger population than all the more advanced areas of Africa, mainly Egypt, Ethiopia and what would soon be South Africa. Any figure in the genocide that has double digit millions implies the congo free state was a major power by population alone

The original number of 10m was said to be exaggerated and it was actually less than a million. This was said by the person who originally made the claim of 10m.
Furthermore, Leopold and the Belgians themselves didnt want hands cut off nor did they ever order it.
They also never ordered a TND hit on unproductive villages, thats another myth.
The Belgians were very hands off lol and so were the africans too much perhaps.

The Congo suffering is just another anti-White myth blacks peddle to explain why their 84 IQ race cant build space programs or states with high HDI.

He ordered a bunch of rubber and blacks ended up killing each other looking for the workers to do the job.

And all of those resources combined still amount to significantly less than from any part of the developed world. Europe is still the capital of global exports. Third worldists fall back on exploitation narratives because they take the blame for the state of their nations away from their own institutions, and they expect no pushback.

That's not how it works. Africa has specific resources that it is abundant in. Sure, the rest of the world can still produce their own supply of resources but you have to factor in the rare and specific ones. Take Coltan as an example, most of it is exclusively extracted in the Congo. The overall resource extraction may still be less in the Congo but with Coltan, its the exclusive extractor of it. Diamond can also be taken as an example.

So does anyone know what the actual extent was of the cruelties in Belgian Congo?
And since nobody believes the 10M number anymore, what's the real death toll? Approximately?

I don't think we'll ever know. Even today, the DRC's census data has a ± range of several million

No one fucking knows
Precolonial Congo was pretty much massive jungle area stuck in prehistory.
There wasn't even a single city.
The first census were conducted in the 1910s, when Belgium took over from Leopold's personal rule.

No one has any idea of the population of precolonial Congo.
But the 10 millions death toll estimate would imply that Congo had a population of 20 millions when the Belgians first arrived in the 1880s, which is ridiculous given that Brazil (larger than Congo and much more developed with dozens of large cities) barely had 14 millions inhabitants in 1890.
