I don’t care, I didn’t even know people were arguing about this until I created Reddit account.
I’m from Poland, call it whatever the fuck you want. We’re all gonna live and die just the same.
We’re… Europe.
Nah not Eastern or Central, we are Visegrád Europe 😎😎
I’m from Belarus, and I always though that Poland is part of Eastern Europe region. It felt very logical since the ties between cultures and history are so tight. And I’ve never heard of a separate Central Europe before joining Reddit. I believe Poles are free to consider themselves a part of any Europe region, you don’t really need a permission for that
There *is* a timezone such as CET (Central European Time)
rus terrorist orcs are not Europe
I live in Poland now and let me tell you it’s a beautiful country with very nice people.
I get a lot of “but why Poland?” Like it was some ugly country, but it’s not, it’s beautiful here. I will start saying that, “why? Why not, Poland is beautiful I love it”
Love you all Polish people 🙂
I believe the sole reason Poland (and a few other Central European countries) are thought of by Western European and North American countries as ‘Eastern Europe’ is because during the Cold War Germany was divided and the GDR was commonly referred to as East Germany. Thus, any country east of ‘East Germany’ must be Eastern. Seriously, have a look at a map of Europe. Who ever referred to Finland, Sweden, the boot of Italy, Greece as Eastern Europe? It’s simply a holdover from the Cold War.
Come on guys you got to pick a side!
You can’t just be stuck in the middle all the time.
Come to us in the north we need some more people.
You will fit in great here we have lots of vodka.
Belarusian here. We are not different like at all.
Where do we come from
Where do we go
Where do we come from Cotton Eye Joe
We don’t even exist, nothing is real, the simulation is falling apart
After last part v4 boys are going to have group sex.
That’s why we can never get rid of sexism, racism, xenophobia etc. We need to divide ourselves into tiny drawers every fucking time for no real reason.
Mitteleuropa was absolutely a thing discussed a long time ago, and Poland was seen as a dominion of Germany, who were supposed to rule Mitteleuropa.
You’re whatever the hell you want to call yourselves. You’ve spent too long, historically, letting other people define you.
Self-definition is important.
So are you central, eastern, or western European? You tell me.
I tend to call Visegrad ‘central-eastern’ europe.
I love this meme. You redit person just made my day.
Heheh. When you’re too conservative for leftists and too liberal for conservatives. 😉
Poland is Central Europe.
What about Lithuania and Latvia then?
Welp. Looks like it’s time to bring back the Hanseatic League, and the Baltic identity. The Scandinavians are cooler than the Germans anyway.
Just say we are SLAVS. SIMPLE
This is so true oml. In my opinion, Poland deserves to be called central due to the language. A Slavic language that’s written in Latin letters, perfect in-between.
Poland is Central Europe
I’m a Belarusian, living in the Czech Republic. I know I will be hated now, but Czechia is more Eastern Europe, than Western Europe, considering the standard behaviour and beliefs.
the balkans of europe
Who tf said there’s no such thing as center Europe?
Tbh. Does it really matter whether you are eastern, western, southern, northern or central ?
Hello, in Spain, Germany, CZ, slovakia and Austria are central Europe.
Rest is just Easter european. But Dont get me wrong this is just how It taught in school there isnt any negative connotations.
During franco era It was just because “you were commies” but somehow It has been like that since then
We are and I’m tired of pretending we’re not
Polska w środku i tyle
Where did you come from, where did you go?
Where did you come from, Cotton-Eye Joe?
Dont get why the UK is in this, your all “Fucking Europeans’ to us. Not western or eastern just European, we look down on you all the same.
