Ok so then what about this?

Literally everything Eastern Europe has to do is to stop praising, supporting and building monuments for fucking nazis and be normal, really hard part for a lot of them.

Does that ring true to you or is there more to it than Eastern Europeans being abnormal?

Is being normal really "everything Eastern Europe has to do", or are there maybe some changes needed in the west for that normality to happen?

No, I'm not supporting that statement. It's too reductive and I understand why you have some very raw nerves on the subject; I certainly do.

I think we may be interpreting the intent a little differently, though. I mostly feel like I'm just helplessly drowning in sadness and horror in front of a screen all the time, and I generally try to cope with satire or sarcasm. I try to avoid being quite this glib or insensitive, but I probably fuck that up a lot, too. Reads that way to me at least.
