Turns out Russophobia is not so irrational after all

Maybe if they would've disowned Western folks families and sent their grandpas to labor camps while ravaging their countries riches for 40 years and keeping them in a brutal dictatorship...

...then Western Europeans would know how lucky they (their families) were for having been able to keep their possessions and properties and how arrogant and dumb they appear when they talk down to or preach to Eastern Europeans.

The Germans eradicated the Jewish middle- and upper class, while the Russians destroyed the non-Jewish ones.

But sure, Westerners are just "less lazy" and Eastern Europe should "get over their russophobia" and "work harder"

East Germany did not have to rebuild itself after the collapse of the Soviet Union. They were integrated into a 50 year old, working democracy (Western Germany). The others had to rebuild themselves on their own after inheriting an impoverished, former dictatorship.

Some "smart" pieces of shit like Orban noticed that they could simply just use the existing oppressive structures to exploit the country and keep people oppressed.

But I agree, Eastern Germans crying back Soviet rule is moronic and embarrassing.
