    Bro. :) Czechia and Chechnya are vastly different places. :) Czechia is essentially in the center of Europe, nestled between Austria, Germany and Poland. It's the place where the Reformation started, when they threw a Catholic bishop out the window the the biggest church in Prague. Chechnya is a republic of Russia, it's a Muslim country, famous for their capital city having been wiped out by the Russians during the Chechen wars. There's about 2000 km distance between them, or the equivalent of the distance from Florida to Venezuela. :)
    Estonia and Georgia - again, they're both neighbors of Russia, but they're vastly different countries in vastly different places. The Baltic countries are, as their name says, next to the Baltic sea. Georgia is in the Caucasus region, between Russia and Turkey. Again, Estonia and Georgia are about 2000 km apart from each other. Not the same general area either.

    About the Poles working abroad - specifically being the "mexicans" of Europe its just a stereotype from the 90's / 00's. Nowadays its safe to say that without Polish doctors and nurses the German healthcare system would be in big trouble, so its not just construction workers that emigrated after Poland joined the EU. The stereotype comes from the fact that Poland simply is the biggest eastern block country that joined the EU and its not even close. For example, due to population differences it was 4 times as likely to encounter a construction worker from Poland as from Hungary.
    And that stereotype that Poles are not the smartest is also just a stereotype. PISA studies (OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment) shows that Poland is consistently among the top ranking countries of how well educated kids are able to receive an education (that statistic is flawed, because it doesn't include kids that don't get any education or just primary school education, so countries like China are ranking way higher here than in the case of studying entire school aged populations). In all honesty I have no clue why that stereotype even exists considering that only Estonians and Slovenians have similar or better education.

      stereotype about dumb Poles is pretty unique to US. It essentially comes from around XIX century - in US (just like other catholic nations - Italians or Irish as well as black or native people) were heavily discriminated against and were limited mostly to manual labour. Later during communism people who managed to emigrate had to US usually didn't spoke english and their degrees were not recognized. It spawned a dumb Polack joke line and steorotype stuck. It doesn't exist in any other part of the world (mayby waaay back in Germany)

It's an interesting topic, basically the occupying powers were trying to present Polish people as this lesser type of people, who are too incompetent/ unworthy of having their own country.

Sure, maybe you've heard of us (not to brag, but we, Lithuanians have a few good basketball players in the NBA lol), but you won't know anything specific about us, nothing to distinguish us from the general stereotype of Eastern Europe/russia.

    Brian's Polish / Mexican workforce analogy is quite on point actually.
    In France our brillant politicians used the "Polish Plumber" as a meme (yeah a meme from the 90s) to describe the invasion of cheap labor from eastern europe as a source of all french unemployment problems.
    More seriously in my region of northern France, Polish people play a huge part of our historical immigration, we actually have some Polish dishes now that are considered local delicacies and Polish last names are very much the norm in this part of France.
    This is due to an immigration policy signed between France and Poland in the 19th century, to bring tens of thousands of families to work in the coal mines. Northern France was one of the coal hot spots, along with textile manufacturing, during the industrial revolution. The last mines closed in the 70s or 80s, and is now a world heritage site. It also produced a few strange "pyramids" overlooking the very flat landscape.

      My mistake was not that it was not poland, because of course everyone knows that when a region gets occupied or joins a wider group its people magically disappears, but that it actually happened in the early 20th century when poland was shortly sovereign.
      I got influenced by Zola's book and whenever i think of coal mines here i think 19th century.
      And so another interesting point was that a good number of them came from Germany where they were also working in the mines.
      oh and i recently heard again about the infamous "Polish Plumber" and it was actually used around 2005 and not in the 90s. The Polish tourism office created an advertisement campaign using that meme, and to mock our glorious French politicians.

    If that doesn't work with the Czechs because of the risk of confusion, you can also use the geographical term Bohemia and Bohemians... And of course the Bohemians are the most German Slavs. We were in a common empire, connected to each other, for many centuries. That's why, for example, there is more of a Central European cuisine, with regional specialties (which is partly due to the same agricultural products, the same climate and soil conditions), than a specifically German, Swiss or Austrian cuisine. And of course that includes Bohemia and Moravia...

    Why is there still intolerance between Western and Eastern Europeans today? That is economic racism. Today, almost 40 years after the fall of communism, the differences in wages in Western and Eastern Europe, as well as in the standard of living, are enormous and multiple. A lot of young people from Eastern Europe immigrate to Western Europe and mostly do the hardest jobs there. But there they don't earn 500 or 1000 euros, but 3 or 4 thousand. Why can't the countries of Eastern Europe recover financially even in 40 years of capitalism? Well, because corrupt politicians sold all the banks and good companies for nothing to Western Europeans. Today, the countries of Eastern Europe are colonies of Western Europe, which extracts billions of euros from them. That is why they are failing both economically and demographically!

      That's only half of the whole truth. Yes, it is the problem that we sold everything in 90s and western companies treat us as a second grade people, selling worse quality food for higher price than in the west etc.....but those companies were bankrupting in early 90s and were not able to compete in capitalist market without western money and investments. Like for example Škoda Auto, it would probably not exist now if Germans didn't buy. And another problem is that corrupt politicians stole everything and again - west is not responsible for that, we did it by ourselves. And even worse thing is that people still vote these criminals.

    • @maksimsk.2700
      @maksimsk.2700 6 місяців тому

      You are right in some things and overall description but wrong on conclusion.
      We are part of EU, each country pays something to EU budget and takes something from EU budget. Through all 21st century Germany and sometimes France are the only two countries paying more than taking. Doesn't seem like "western Europe sucks easterners blood and money.
      I consider being wrong but for me it looks more like (I'm not talking exclusively or mostly about Poland, there's much more countries in Eastern Europe.
      I'm not going to pretend to be expert on neighbors, but right now I don't see the reason why would it be much different.
      In Baltic region 2 out of 3 countries were almost never independent in last... Many centuries. So my theory of "why are they still much worse economically then the west" is that when they broke free from USSR, majority of people with power and some kind of control over something valuable, weren't so optimistic about "how long is it going to last before some random country will invade and make us part of their territory. As usual."
      So with this idea only reasonable thing you can do (as person with power) is to milk own population, extracting as much money as possible as fast as possible, also selling land and property quick. Then boom, we're part of EU, which means some promise of safety, EU shooting money this direction, so much precious money to steal..
      But usually when someone gets a source of income, people keep using it as long as they can. So alongside EU money, state budget also keeps being mostly stolen. Why not when you can? 😅😅
      Other important thing is depopulation.
      As soon as door opened, many (like, really a lot) of people instead of "be hungry for some time" and rebuild own state decided to move to those "rich" countries to make money there.
      When quarter of population abandons country it's not helping.
      You insist "Poland is sentral jourop!"
      1. No. Main reasons for you standing economically look like "Germany gives you money as form of being sorry for our past, your country is relatevly big and population can recover loss of quantity quicker. Also you have weird thing called national pride so as soon as Poland showed signs of development and people started to come home which also helps a lot.
      Being honest with you, personally I find Poles saying "we're not Eastern Europe!" all the time quite upsetting.
      So instead of being a sort of a leader of Eastern Europe, an example of development, instead of saying "we are LIKE other countries in the west now. Hey, neighbors, we are friends and brothers, let me help you to catch up and join us on our journey to development ", no, instead more successful you become more you start to say things like "oooo, I ekshully never was part of this group of poor stupid losers, look at the map, look at the map, we are CENTER!!!!! Don't call us Eastern Europe, it's an insult!"
      No. Your words are an insult.
      Stop being an asshole and start being good neighbor. Stop offering other Eastern Europe to go enjoy themselves but start being part of it.
      When you see an old lady with heavy bag, don't express disgust on your face and cross the road, approach her and offer help.
      It is beneficial for everyone. It's beneficial for all countries in the region if all of them prosper.
      P.s. not a single word was said with bad intention or emotion. It's more like "my childhood friend suddenly became rich and now says we are losers and don't want to be friends anymore. Mate, we are friends, we live nearby. We really don't need your money, we don't want it, all we want is to keep being friends, hang out with you and enjoy lives. Advice on how to become rich would be nice, but not mandatory. Just go back to being nice with us and let's have fun together!"
      Also do consider that main rich guys you want to hang out with still see you as minor to them and will see you that way for a long time.
      So if you (I mean Poland, not you personally) are so obsessed with being string, rich and respected, why you want to be "one of the least respected and adored in rich guy club" when you can be "most rich and respected guy in the poor neighborhood, so much that people start to follow his example"?

    As the name of the film suggests, these are stereotypes, this film is made for entertainment with a heavy dose of sarcasm, and should not be taken as a serious source of information. There is a grain of truth in every stereotype, but here the grain is blown to the size of Jupiter. Poland - Mexico of Europe? LOL, yeah, I heard this term in the 90's and early 2000's when our economy was forcing people to emigrate west. Ironically, now the role has been reversed. People from the "West" (not only Europe) are increasingly considering emigrating to Poland and the rest of the countries of Central Europe.

Secondly, as someone from a Caucasus background I'd really recommend avoiding such stereotype views as this video portrays. I spend a lot of my time trying to dispel such ideas of the place and people I come from (Circassia) - Spending time debunking myths is exhausting in itself. Avoiding repeating such myths is a good practise, it gives time to talk about real issues

  • @michdem100
    @michdem100 6 місяців тому +2

    All right, so in order:
    2:00: one of the reasons why a term "Central Europe" come to be is exactly to distance from Russia, as most of the peoples living in central Europe fought at some point in time against Russia and to be independent from Russia. Additionally historically those lands are mostly related to former Holly Roman Empire of the German Nation (that's before German unification), Austria/Austria-Hungary and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
    3:20 Why are Hungarians so pessimistic? I don't know, definitely not the weather, as countries more up north, with much worse weather aren't so pessimistic. What I do know is between around 1900s until 1945 it was essentially all downhill for them (since 1945 it was "shitty, but stable").
    4:15 Slovenians have a stereotype of being very feminine because their language is softer in pronunciation. Because of that the jokes about them where prelevant for a long time and now took a form of being two types of men in there. A femboy and Slavoi Zizek (probably the most famous philosopher alive)
    4:33 It said Czechia, which is the preferred way of saying this country name. Full name is Czech Republic. Czech isn't exactly correct, as half of the country is Czech, other half is Moravia and there's a tiny part of Silesia there as well. Now Chechnya is a part of Russia, in the Causaus, which tried to break off after the fall of the USSR, and which Russia fought a few wars over (which they won in the end but made a clown of themselves in the process).
    5:50 Poles being the Mexicans of Europe? Well, that's quite true on a very surface level. There's a movie about some lady coming from America, buying a home in Italy and having Poles renovate it. What shocked her was that when they had breaks, they were reading (because that was during the times of the cold war, the Poles in question run away from communism and had higher education). Right now Poland has more engineering going on internally. Like we have companies like Solaris and Newag, which are making buses and trains respectively - so good in fact that they are very common throughout Europe (a bit like the Hungarian Ikarus buses in the old days, like the one seen at 2:15). Gee, I'm going in deep, I hope someone will read it. Anyway, no - you're not wrong.
    7:20 Well interestingly enough Poland, Lithuania and Belarus are arguing between each other about where the geographical center of Europe is, each claiming it's in their country. As for Nordic, only Estonia aspires to be Nordic, Lithuania and Latvia - not really.
    8:00 Georgia - basically - you have Black Sea - the see that's between Ukraine and Turkey. On the eastern side, the first country that's "under Russia" (so south of them) is Georgia. Completely different part, completely different sea. Parts of Georgia are occupied and they want to separate. But, just north of them is Chechnya, a region that does want to separate from Russia.
    10:36 yeap, that's a real thing :/ I honestly don't know how those people get around here, considering how much traditional gender roles in Slavic countries in general, and Ukraine in particular, differ from the west. Over here it's stereotyped for women to basically run the household and most of the immediate family decisions.

    Finally make peace with habsburgs, start industrializing, contributing to science ...etc. habsburgs start WWII. They lose. Hungary gets ripped to shreds, to top it off, habsburg realm gets territorial concessions - i guess france had to reward starting WWII
    ...then after a century of various homegrown and intenrational commies looting the country dry.

Beautiful, kind, and super bright people that are proud of their respective cultures, are super creative about making things happen, and enjoy living closer to their roots as opposed to overcommercializing everything. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised if eastern europe will once become a more desirable part of that continent given all the crap we experience in the west, like dirty streets, drugs, crime, exorbitant prices, and growing homelessness. Either way, we all need to be kind and respectful of other cultures and help each other become better if we want to live in a peaceful and beautiful world.
