They don't want to be called eastern Europeans because of beef with Russia

Why would Russians want to be in one group with Neo-Danubian peasants?

Let's retort to scholars.

Coon's Nordic race (N):







Remarkable Neo-Danubian homogenity in Poland.

Maybe I'm too bigoted to see some positive aspects of Polish people outside my anthrotardism, but I doubt it.

I just wanted to avoid persecution by Alenka, who vividly protested the last time when I assigned Slovenia that way.

I have to add there is a weird thing about Slovenia. It's actually quite heterogenous.

Area in the southwest (and no, I don't mean that tiny coast they have), but near towns like Pivka and Ilirska Bistrica is very uncentral Euro like.
It's karst, stone houses are common, in scenery same like Croatian littoral and interior Istria across the border...feels very remote and isolated too.

Kind of like North Adriatic hinterland.

But than northern/central Slovenia is completely Austrian like. Eastern part is totally central euro like as well, close to northern Croatia and western Hungary.

I just wasn't aware SW Slovenia is so specific compared to rest of country until recently.

Also it's weird to say western border of Central Europe are German Lands since Central Europe term was invented by Germans and basically meant German sphere of influence.

True, but actually German influence in the West ends more abruptly than in the east. Maybe except for Benelux that sometimes is counted to Central Europe as well.

Poland doesn't belong to that cathegory. Part of it became Habsburg only after partitions of Poland. Which is seen as extremely negative from Polish nationalists.

Actual Poland stretched much more to the east and had more in common with Lithuania, western Belarus and western Ukraine than with Bohemia or Austria.
It's just culturally western Christian (but so are Baltic states).

They don't want to be called eastern Europeans because of beef with Russia, just like we have with Serbs + historical/cultural differences towards eastern Slavs.

I have talked about the average polish identity what is anti-german and anti-russian at same time, they feel themselves between east and west just like other central euros. Most of poles consider themselves central europeans, i have heard it many times. Central Europe is the V4 countries today.

Yes, but now in 2022 nobody cares about it. The modern central european identity is what i said.

I didn't mean Russia wants to group itself with Poland, sorry if you misunderstood me.
I just mean many Poles refuse EE label because of their russophobia.

Russia is large enough to form entity of it's own, together with it's zone of influence.

[Russki]

I don't want to radiate any influence.

Our former subjects want to be under American influence, hence NATO expansion.

I just want peace.

They call themselves central Euro but rest of EU calls them eastern Europeans. So I agree with Teutone that central Europe as a term does not exist today except in western affiliated former commie countries and maybe Austria (not sure)

Ja baš volim Krležu ali su mi super bile knjige od Nives Celzijus, ne sramim se priznati, posebno jer su nogometaši tema. Meni je Andrić recimo dosadan a nobelovac je.

Ajde da odgovorim, pa malo razbijem ovaj english..
"Krleža" sam napisala pod navodnicima sa razlogom. Ne mislim doslovno na autora, nego se nastavlja na temu "proizvodnja/potražnja". Može se imati još i masa kvalitetnih autora ako smo na dnu ljestvice; i naravno još masa po nekim mjerilima kvalitetnih umjetnika ako nemaju dovoljno publike/dovoljnu prođu, a cajke su ti prve na ljestvici. Ukus mase, a ne pojedinaca.

Ali i meni je Ivo Andrić dosadan haha. Meša Selimović mi je puno bolji iz toga ranga.

Ne čitam trashy knjige, ali volim graphic novels, to je moj chill

Što se tiče naše TV i Radija, po meni u mnogim stvarima imaju izuzetno visoki nivo, posebno što se nekomercijalne kulture tiče. Pa bacite oko malo na HRT 4...takvih programa malo je u Europi.

Ma ja ti Feiichita uopće ne gledam TV. Imam servis za filmove/serije kad mi se gledaju, i samo to. Pratim neke kanale na YouTubeu za podcaste i dokumentarce

Moje je mišljenje da se iz nekog čudnog razloga hrvatska pop kultura izrazito srozala u zadnjih dvadesetak godina. Koji su razlozi tome ne znam

Slažem se, ma i više od dvadesetak

Doesnt matter what outsiders think about it. 60-70 million european has central euro identity with many similarity, so it definitely does exist. I think rather West Europe is a questionable term, seriously what swedes and spaniards have to do with each other? Nothing, and both are west euro. Just like russians or albanians are totally different in East Europe. It seems to me Central Europe is a valid term compared to others.
