Why is Eastern Europe so much smarter than Western Europe?
Eastern Europeans know what it’s like to live under oppressive foreign invaders.
Because they lived under leftist oppression for decades and recognize it when they see it. Now that they have their freedom, they’re not going to let modern-day leftists take it away again via mass muslim migration.
Because they were not coddled like Western Europe was. They saw occupation, communist dictatorship and the poverty it caused up close and personal. Their national identities were actively suppressed in the name of global socialism.
Once they were finally able to get out from under it, they were inoculated against socialist utopianism and appreciated their hard won national sovereignty.
Its like one child being given everything and as a result taking it for granted and the other going through tough times with no help and having to claw his way out of it...and thus appreciating his freedom.
