    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”.

          “Islamophobic”? We’re not afraid of them

          Islamophobes absolutely are afraid of them, hence the agression.

            You can disengage now. You may or may not reflect on to which degree you’re actually thinking by yourself or just vomiting mass-media by the fact that I pinpointed your country of origin based on two comments on Lemmy, I won’t keep listening to you because I could just as easily listen to the same bullshit by turning on any state Estonian TV station. Have a good and russophobic day

              I’m old enough to not have to rely on mass media to know how my reality looked like during the russian occupation, mate.

              Also: you pinpointed shit, but don’t let me stop you from patting yourself on the back. :)
