They have it so good because they complain about stuff that is trivial relative to countries like Romania. It's a constant battle and to be satisfied is to give up.
- oblio 6y agoYeah, right. Survivor bias in action. Romania didn't choose to do a lot of the things it did. It didn't choose to be a Communist state for 45 years, for example. History matters. And if you think Romanians are somehow content: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%80%932019_Romanian_protests https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017%E2%80%932019_Romanian_p... They were in the news everywhere, from Deutsch Welle to the New York Times. I find your comment dismissive of those down the ladder, maybe I'm misinterpreting it. It also seems unaware of history or recent news.
- amiga_500 6y agoYou are misinterpreting, it was thinking about how to be robust, not critiquing Romania
- oblio 6y agoAh, ok then :-)
- heavenlyblue 6y agoWell, the fact that Romania is even less democratic that Germany doesn’t change the fact that Germany couldn’t be more democratic. And to be fair I would prefer if Romanians figured out their democracy themselves rather than have another proxy war happening there now.
- oblio 6y agoWhat do you mean by proxy war? Romania is quite peaceful.
- heavenlyblue 6y agoWhat do you think is going to happen if a wester state brought military to help you with corruption?
- oblio 6y agoWho asked for military help?
- heavenlyblue 6y agoHow do you think the west should get rid of your corruption then?
