Inflation rate of the EU is at its lowest since October 2021.
Meanwhile the conversation rate is 99 Ruble for 1€.
So yes, thank you. We're actually doing pretty alright. But I'm sure your propaganda media tells you something very different.

Hungary is suffering from their own pro Russia policy making & voting, which they're still holding onto. So apologies when I can't bring up a whole lot of sympathies for them and the repercussions they're facing from that. Germany is also not doing the greatest, and for similar reasons, at least in the energy sector. But at least now most parties sans the far left and far right have understood that.

You are assuming that inflation will stop, but after the new war oil and gas prices (so energy prices, and therefore the price of any retail good) are increasing dramatically. Another cycle of the depressive spiral is coming for Europe... the only positive aspect I can think of is that this part of the world is responsible for the misery and poverty of other areas of the world (say Africa) so in the end this will be a sort of very much due nemesis. But from here to saying that "everything is going to be alright" sounds like gaslighting.

I wouldn't be surprised if the EU stands to gain money from this conflict

I think we, as Europeans, missed a chance to help those in need and to stand for the weakest and most defenseless. And I would not be surprised to witness how neighbouring foreign cultures hate us.

Not propaganda media, I live in Europe and I see the prices, the bills and the rental fees. And my salary. Wish me good luck.

Well. If you think the grass is greener on Russia's side, then go on and move over.
I also like how you avoided the other persons question of how that's the EU's fault for Russia to play imperialistic asshole.

Very tolerant... shouldn't we "on the other side" be more democratic? I wish I could move over as you suggested, unfortunately the only option will be passing away because I'm stuck here. I can't even get a passport because in my country public offices have stopped working.

lmao
What in the absolute fuck does this have anything to do with being democratic? Are you just throwing buzzwords around now? Seriously, just move to Russia and get shredded on the front. It would do us all a favor.

If this is the finest level of respect and politeness that our culture can produce, we deserve to be defeated and collapse. We're on terminal stage.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

At least something we can agree on, except that people like you being the reason why that is the case.

I was talking about behavior and word choice being wrong, never about individual people. This has escalated badly, I won't be answering any more.

You made up some word salad that had nothing to do with the topic, got called out for it and now got no actual arguments left. You're welcome.
