Leopold 2 action had no consequence on him at all. He actually got out of the whole ideal with pretty much nay a scratch.

Do you know what the punishment for theft was among the Congs before the Belgians? Typically, a thief would be enslaved, the have his limbs cut off and eaten one by one over a few days, then his torso (but not head) would be roasted and eaten when he finally died of pain and bloodloss.

>The Congolese had a fucked up way of punishing thieves
>This means it's okay to enslave them and cut off their hands and the hands of their children if they don't meet quota
Seems logical to me
>>2426087
Post your source faggot. Not to mention that Congo DIDN'T EVEN EXIST AS AN ENTITY/NATION!

This man most likely failed to meet his rubber quota so Euros cut his kids hands off to motivate him to work harder in the future.

thats a really disturbing thought. That not only did he get away with it, but that other innocent people were brutalized and its perceived as "justice"
>>2426271
Never said it was justice there is just irony in the fact that brutal colonial power was brutalized by a bigger imperial power.

At least Belgium got compensation. Can't say the same for the Congolese.
