Comment on The meaning of life?

  I updated my prior comment with a poll in Romania.

  The fact that you talk of “Russian occupation” tells me you’re likely from the Baltics, where this conspiracy theory is most promoted. Smaller nations are influenced by geopoltical blocks, that’s just how reality works, I don’t see you talking about current “German occupation” due to belonging to the EU, or “US occupation” due to belonging to NATO. People in the Baltics are extremely russophobic, this is where this conspiracy theory stems from.

    What “conspiracy theory” do you mean?

    It’s a historical, provable fact that russia invaded the Baltics, Poland, Czechoslovakia and a bunch of other countries in the East, installed puppet governments, and unified everything as “USSR” (with some countries, like Poland, having a bit more independence, and technically wasn’t a part of the USSR).

    People in the Baltics are extremely russophobic

    “Russophobic”? We’re not afraid of them, we just don’t like them for the hundreds of years of meddling and suffering they’ve caused us. Again, it’s not a conspiracy theory, it’s history.

      “Islamophobic”? We’re not afraid of them

      Literally MAGA discourse. I can smell Baltic right wing nationalists from a mile away.

        You need to educate yourself.

        MAGA loves licking the russian boot.

        Nobody who suffered under USSR would ever say “times were hard but better”.
