Whole eastern europe exists in imagined history, where children will argue with parents about how oppressed they were

Can you elaborate on this? Have you actually seen such arguments?

I’ve talked to a lot of Russian people and I’ve noticed there’s a big “personality change” around the age of 26. Like everyone younger than that is basically some “normie” who only watches western (and Kpop + anime) media, while many of the people older than that are actually broad-minded and know a good deal about other (non-european) cultures.

The older ones are also chiller, and tbh even looked different and no it’s not because of age–I’m partially basing this on the Russians I was talking to at age 19 in 2012 (who are now 30+)

Doubt i can see them in other people families lol. I’ve heard from older people from georgia, poland, ukraine, russia. they just say the children don’t understand and they’ve decided fuck it, not important to argue about.

Like younger people will fully absorb grey aesthetics from media, and then be mildly surprised by family photos of happy people doing their thing, surprisingly in normal color, not an nkvd/kgb/stasi agent in sight

How old are these people usually (and how old are you, roughly I understand privacy is a thing)

grey aesthetics

some guy at the CIA: we need to use the smog filter AND the grey filter
