I love how any mention of eastern/Slavic self determination and freedom earns this kind of racist response.
To even imply Visegrad can “push” anything on the EU means that you’re either retarded or malicious.
Yeah shoot. I actually wanted to correct "push on" to "push in". But hitting me with racism stick because I said Visegrad stands for illiberalism is lame.
Push in or push out, they can’t do either because the EU is explicitly structured so that Eastern counties are less powerful.
The EU and the United States took advantage of the fall of communism (and also had a hand in bringing it about) so that they now for all intents and purposes rule over the region.
As long as resources are being extracted, it makes no difference if Orban loves or hates trans people.
The crux here is that the Germans, the Austrians, and the Dutch never believed that Eastern Europe is capable of self-governance. For centuries, their explicit goal was to control the region and plunder its resources.
Hitler’s idea to make Lebensraum by killing most Slavs and saving some to be slaves didn’t occur to him in a vacuum. It’s the results of around 200 years of orientalism.
Thats so horrible that they where annexed by the EU. But why are they not as brave as the britisch and leave the EU?
