Why did East Germany unify with the rest of Germany but East Moldova not reunify with the rest of Moldova after the Soviet Union fell

>>214236165 (OP)
West Germany had enough money to prop up the collapsing Ossi economy and bring them to the Wessi level. Romania did not.

>>214236165 (OP)
Because you touch yourself.

>>214236763
If I touch myself more, can we also reunify with Austria?

>>214236165 (OP)
because they saw what went wrong here and decided not to copy it

>>214236861
But everything went right here though? East Germany is our basis of the reconquista by the next NatSoc regime, and this will be how we defeat the Kali Yuga emanation that is the Federal Republic.

>>214236838
no, but I have to touch your wallet instead

>>214236623
Wasn't the Moldovan SSR literally richer than commie Romania?

>>214236165 (OP)
Bulgaria and Macedonia didn't reunite either

>>214236964
depends how you measure it but at least in certain areas it was definitely true
I read a book about Moldova and they quoted a Moldovan guy who lived in a village close to the Prut river (Moldovan-Romanian border) and he said that in the 1980s as a young boy he would often go to the river in the evening and there was complete darkness on the Romanian side because they had permanent blackouts, meanwhile in Moldova electricity was almost for free and they wouldn't even bother to turn the light off when leaving their home. He was very happy that he lived in the USSR instead of Romania.

>>214236903
no, east germany is being held up by gibs instead of any meaningful infrastructure and is just cursed to forever stagnate while we in the west just pay high taxes and suffer

>>214236623
I have an idea on where to get that money

>>214236165 (OP)
russian puppets ruled romania after ceausescu got rightfully shot

>>214236165 (OP)
I'm surprised no one has given the actual answer yet:
Because the Soviet/Russian army never left Transnistria since they wanted to keep their influence in Moldova.
It's hard to unify with Romania and join the EU/NATO when part of your territory is occupied by the Russian army.

our govt in WW2 sent our gold to the UK, US and Canada and while the UK deducted a certain amount of this gold, supposedly to pay for the cost of maintaining and equipping the Polish Armed Forces in the UK, they generally returned everything back to Poland - which was actually a funny thing, because they already returned that to the communist government in Warsaw and our government in exile was extremely angry about that.

>>214237004
the thing is those were never united in the last 1000 years

>>214237112
Western Germany will be a third world country in a few decades anyway. And there'll just be a brain drain to the East. Hopefully the federal regime will just collapse, so they don't force the East to take in undesirables too.

i first learnt moldova from that epic sax guy meme and i used to think it is an island similar to cyprus or malta somewhere around there

>>214237362
do you think investment in an apartment in Frankfurt/Oder is a good idea now?

>>214237538
You mean the Polish part or the German part? Idk to be honest, I have a blind spot on anything in Germany that is more than 30km away from the coastline.

>>214237601
>You mean the Polish part or the German part
There is only a German part, the Polish town is a separate city with a different name. And obviously I mean the German part. It seems to me like when Berlin gets too expensive, a lot of people might seek cheaper alternative in Frankfurt thanks to good railway connection with Berlin.

>I have a blind spot on anything in Germany that is more than 30km away from the coastline.
you mean you'd really want to live on the North Sea/Baltic sea coast? do you like wet freezing wind so much?

>>214238003
>do you like wet freezing wind so much?
I barely even notice it.

>>214237362
we will both sink you dumb fuck

>>214238092
We will sink if the German Democracy prevails.

>>214238039
have you ever lived there for all year round rather than just visit in the summer?

>>214238172
I've lived in Lübeck my whole life, and I work in Travemünde half of the year round.

>>214238192
Do you speak Low German in your day-to-day life?

>>214238275
Low German is practically extinct.

>>214238192
>I've lived in Lübeck my whole life
okay, maybe you're just used to

>>214238290
sad
at least it still lives in Brazil

btw, I just noticed that Lubeck is located exactly on the border with DDR, what was life there in the cold war era?

>>214238290
Pathetic.

>>214238325
>what was life there in the cold war era?
idk, I wasn't alive then. It was an impoverishing effect.
>>214238333
Hey, it's just the boomer generation being the most gullible uprooted generation as usual.

>>214238366
This is what Wikipedia says.

>>214238506
Truth never comes out of a human mouth.

>>214238366
>idk, I wasn't alive then. It was an impoverishing effect.
maybe any interesting stories you heard from older people? like Ossi refugees trying to cross the border and get shot? or sending balloons with parcels with bananas and chocolate to Schonberg?
it just feels weird that your average people in Lubeck woke up every day thinking
>we live right on the border with a totalitarian impoverished country where 15 million of our brothers are closed like in a prison yet we can't do anything about it so let's have a toast and drink orange juice for breakfast

>>214238536
I guess people in cities don't speak Platt anymore but in rural areas it might be still quite common

>>214238598
American occupation or Soviet occupation, it makes no difference
Democracy is a farce. When Lübeck was at its height it was ruled by a nepotist council of 12 people, once commoners got a voice it fell down to irrelevance.

>>214238656
let me guess, you vote AfD? at least I know about the actual effect of bordering the Ossiland on you kek

>>214238676
I interact with people east of the border all the time. Mostly because Lübeck was always connected more to the east anyway.
>let me guess, you vote AfD?
If you vote any other party you are lost.

>>214238717
>If you vote any other party you are lost.
>I interact with people east of the border all the time.
that goes without saying

>>214238762
What an vaginal response.

>>214238779
well, in a sense it's interesting that finally East Germany started participating in pan-German culture and even influencing west Germans in something, not being just a recipient.

>>214238802
All the east germans I interact with are leftists, most of my coworkers are leftists. My worldview is informed by not blindly consuming mass media, like democracy supporters, but actual diligent intellectual pursuits.

>>214238842
>but actual diligent intellectual pursuits.
ok but why do AfD voters have on average the lowest level of education among all voters?

>>214238870
Because the AfD actually represents the common people, while the bloc parties just represent those people that participate in the circlejerk that is this regime's intellect-extinguishing academic system.

>>214238901
>represents the common people,
you mean the common people in Germany are still uneducated? kinda sad
do you think AfD will address this problem by increasing funding on education?

>>214238870
Isn’t this a general trend in the west? Educated people tend to be typically leftist

>>214239071
yes but these poorly educated people don't really boast about doing 'diligent intellectual pursuits', that would actually put them off

>>214236964
the richest part of the moldovan ssr was in transnistria because the USSR populated it with russians and only built industry there
moldova was part of the soviet union, eastern germany wasnt
took about two seconds after the ussr fell apart for moscow to tell the russian soldiers in transnistria to start a war to maintain a foothold in moldova and put pressure on its new government
after that came decades of russian hybrid warfare against moldova to influence its policy

>>214238954
If the AfD were actually ruled by people that understood the problems of western society more intricately they would do the right thing and abolish the school system.
But they mostly consist of boomers that think doing it the 1970 way won't destroy the country again.

>>214239108
Is this just that classic bell curve meme

>>214239136
>But they mostly consist of boomers that think doing it the 1970 way won't destroy the country again.
so if you know they won't improve anything but rather destroy it further, why do you keep supporting them?

>>214239202
If they win we could delay takeover from hostile third world elements long enough for an actually competent post-democratic regime to take root, like with the DNVP in 1933.

>>214239242
>like with the DNVP in 1933
that literally destroyed your country 12 years later

>>214239297
>that literally destroyed your country 12 years later
America destroyed this country, not the NSDAP. Let's not resort to victim blaming.

>>214238656
based

>>214239313
well, whoever did it, it will most likely repeat

>>214239393
>it will most likely repeat
Then you don't know what actually moves history forward.

>>214237079
How the tables have turned huh
