Eastern Europe is simply poorer than Western Europe. Their style of government doesn't have much to do with it. There's less wealth to hand around. Whether inequality is higher there or not I can't say.

I compare those to Scandinavia and there is not question that inequality is higher Eastern Europe. And that is part of culture, not via political system or how poor those are. As no matter what the political system will be called, the system will always be mold to correspondence to local people and their cultures by those local humans. That is why corruption is bigger problem in some areas vs some another areas.

There is certainly a difference between European ethnic groups that manifests in behavioural and cultural differences. Slavs seem the least suited to 'democracy'.

We're seeing how hollow these 'protections' in the West really are. Looks at how many of these constitutional protections, rights and checks were breached against Trump, for example. How Snowden or Assange were treated. How the Capital Hill January 6th people have been treated in the US - some of them are still in solitary confinement for minor chargers like 'trespassing'.

The West was under autocracy for 2500 years and we built the best (and fairest) society ever. Yet we've had democracy for the last century and we've been declining ever since.

A few months ago Lukashenko was confirmed to be the Grand son of Stalin.

His policies worked whereas Ukraine is a cesspole of jewish Oligarchs who want to restore the old jewish possessions at the Black sea.

Jews destroyed the Russian Empire. Putin rebuilt id, basically from scrap.

I think both of them did an admirable job.

Putin rebuilt id

And thereby his ego?

Here’s a tip: No matter how much you are sure that something is true, no matter how self-evident it might seem to you, always double-check whatever claims you are about to do, to make absolutely sure you’ll get it right and won’t accidentally betray your cluelesness about the subject you are talking about. As happened to you right here.

With the notable exception of Russia, Eastern European, and post-Soviet countries in general, have consistently done extraordinarily well in the areas of both income and, less so, wealth inequality, routinely claiming some of the best spots on international rankings of Gini coefficients of both.

According to the World Bank’s most recent data, while Iceland, Norway and Finland are among the 10 countries with the most equal distributions of income, they’re at the tail end of those 10, with 5 Slavic countries (Slovenia, Czechia, Slovakia, Belarus, Ukraine), 1 non-Slavic Eastern European (Moldova) and 1 quetionably Eastern European, but still post-Soviet country (Azerbaijan) ahead of them, while Denmark and Sweden are far behind all of those, being barely more equal than Kosovo, Poland or Iraq.

The picture admittedly gets a little bit blurry when we move onto wealth inequality. Sweden is more equal than Russia, while Ukraine is more unequal than Denmark, but they are still, respectively, 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 8th most unequal countries on Earth. However, as we can see from the picture above, Eatern European countries still seem to be, in general, more equal in this area than Northern/Western European ones, with the world’s most unequal country, the Netherlands, being Germanic/Western European, while Slavic/Eastern European Slovakia is the world’s most equal country.

John Carmack built id.

Putain, Lukashenko & you lot are just crap.

He didn't do it alone.

Sure, culture has a big influence on governance (even inside the United States, California, Massachussets, Texas and Nebraska haven’t the same constitutions, political landscape and institutions) but there’s still common standards, else how do you explain the differences between the GDR and the FRG, North and South Korea and the Republic of China and the People’s Republic of China?

I don’t call the progress in technology and freedoms which occured during the last century in the West a “decline”. If you took someone from 1921 and sent him today, he would be marveled at the number of inventions and progress, some of which we are too much used to: a doctor might be marveled at seeing diseases which were fatal being nowadays easily cured, a farmer might be pleased seeing famine more and more diseappearing (nowadays, the only famines are because of human action, not because of natural events) and scholars would be awed at all we know now.

So you think Stalin did a good job? After all Hitler thought it would be good to send Koch rule Ukraine since he was a “second Stalin”? And no, I’m sure there were more competent bureaucrats and officers under the czars than under Putin.

And no, Imperial Russia didn’t need Jews to be destroyed, only regressive refusal to progress.

True. But then, I bet Carmack ultimately wished that he had.

John 'Make You His Bitch' Romero's id Tech 2-based "Daikatana" was made the bitch of "Quake III: Arena": id tech 3.

I bet he'd have liked to get his hands on id Tech 7 for "Blackroom".

I bet there's so many crowdfunders who would like to get their hands on him.

I'm not really sure what you're trying to say here. I mean, whatever has become of John Romero after leaving id, he was still one the founders of the company and he played major roles in the early games that made id id. And there were other people in that group who developed Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3-D, and Doom. They all deserve credit for building id. Especially since it seems like every id game since Doom has essentially been either more Doom or more Wolfenstein.
