Why is Western Europe separate from Eastern Europe?

[Slimy Time]

Something called the cold war...

Or further than that, there are ethnic, linguistic and cultural divides that date thousands of years. The Latin based people of Italy, France, Spain etc, the Germanic people of Germany, Austria etc, and Slavic, Poland eastwards.

They have all had thousands of years of historical and cultural events that have shaped them to be different. Only in the last few hundred years did they start becoming more homogeneous, and in spite the EU trying to create a "European Identity", those differences still remain.

Large part of eastern Europe is catholic, Poland became catholic in 13th century. Then there is Czechia and Slovakia.

True, although I'd say that part of why Poland, Bohemia, and Slovakia got completely lumped into the "Eastern Europe" category was due to the Iron Curtain becoming a thing.

But again, what I posted was a very over-simplified take on the East vs. West divide and I even mentioned that.

Because slavs are untermensch.

Having a furry as your avatar, "sodomized" in your nickname and typing about taking things up the ass really does suggest repressed homosexuality. It's 2022 and it's okay to be gay my friend.

I don't think SS actively or passively conceals the fact that he has the gays...

because after the end of ww2, the world was split into 2, east and west. this marked the beginning of the cold war.
