I'm so fucking done with maps lumping Central Europe into Eastern Europe. Like you wanna tell me that Austria, Greece, Finland are somehow not eastern but Czechia is. Or how sometimes the Baltics are not eastern but Hungary is.

In this thread: westerners telling me what I should think. Well gee, next time maybe tone down the imperialism a bit.

Eastern Europe is not real

Not in, like, the "there's nothing there" way, but in the "there's no substantive economic, social or geographic reasons to treat it as a cohesive region" way
