    So… if I don’t understand Belgian politics, does that mean it’s a conspiracy theory?

      You have a strange idea about what ‘anything’ means.

        maybe the bumper sticker misspelled “everything”

          nah, anything is more correct here. it’s like and/or vs neither/nor. “i do understand everything” is the grammatical opposite of “i don’t understand anything”. “i don’t understand everything” is a different sentence entirely. it would only imply that there are aspects of “everything” they don’t understand, rather than that there is nothing they understand.

            Then I guess Resol completely misunderstood it.

        Take the quotation marks away, and the sentence would still be correct. I have a strange idea about what literally anything means.

      No, because Belgium isn’t a real country — it’s parts of two other countries pretending to be their own thing. We all just let them enjoy their little game.
