>Geographically, they're Central Europe >Genetically, they're a mixture of mostly Slavs, Celts, and Germanics >Linguistically Slavic >Their history for the most part, besides being dragged into the Eastern Bloc in the 20th century, has been predominantly Western influenced
I think Wiki considers them to be part of the West, but I've also heard people refer to them as apart of the East or Central European; distinct from both the Western and Eastern world. In my point of view, I'd separate the West from the East based on religious influence; the West being Catholicism and Protestantism vs the East being Orthodox. Obviously there are other factors that play into that as well, but I digress.
I was at a Christmas party with some of my family yesterday and we baked Kolackies (not sure if I spelt it right) which is like a pastry of some sort. It is a family tradition; we've done it almost every Christmas with that side of the family. It's literally the only thing I've ever done that relates to my ethnic past. We had a conversation about our origins and stuff so it made me curious. I'd like to visit the Czech Republic some day. Thankfully, I don't think I'll have to worry about getting blown up or attacked with acid or ran over by a van or something because from what I can tell they're pretty based.
I lived in Czech Republic for a while. Basically if you hate them, you call them a eastern country, and if you like them you call them a western country. They're certainly the most western of all the eastern shitholes.
Asher Cox
They hate Israel, so yes, they are based.
Luke Flores
It's a strange (but wonderful) place. The fact it's ethnically and linguistically slavic makes me say East. It of course does have some German influence. I hope they stay homogenous and preserve their culture. Seems like a great country.
Gabriel Smith
I agree with the kraut and the swiss dude on this. I'd say they're part of the west as well. Fuck off kike.
Elijah Torres
>West Slavs >Part of the HRE >Predominantly were Catholic with notable Protestant sects (Hussites, Taborites) They're definitely western, them being part of the Warsaw Pact is an aberration
Aiden James
Western, because they were part of the Holy Roman Empire. East of Bohemia is eastern europe
Leo Jones
The czechs were always tied to germans in their developement until the break of ww2. The question is whether austria-hungary and germany were of the same western flavour that is the franco-anglo world that nowadays defines what is western. Anglos used to say germany was only insofar western as that it was struggling to reject it for some weird middleground. Maybe the czechs finally found what we failed at reaching.
Czechs are bros. My grandpa (rest in peace) used to live 20km away from the border and we often went to Czech Republic. My grandpa always bought some beer and I ate Lentilky. I still go there every time I visit my grandma.
Thomas Gonzalez
you're almost Balkan bro. The fact that you're not Western doesnt mean you're not European and white.
Kevin Ross
We consider ourselves Central Europe.
ad Kolackies. It's "koláčky" in Czech, but it's quite general word meaning something like cookies, it's diminutive of word "koláč" whose closest translation is pie. Pic related.
Your flag is basically a memeflag too, just look at your "country".
Nathan Sullivan
It is considered to be Czechs. Westshits and Eastshits can gtfo and it is our duty as Czechs to teach new generation that first you kill traitors (westshits) and then the enemy (everyone else)
> I don't think I'll have to worry about getting blown up or attacked You don't, but westerners do their best to change that.
>First comment is a kike I am sure you will be thrilled to hear that if it wasn't for our country, Israel would not exist today.
Joshua Sullivan
Spot the albanian
Hudson Smith
Do I hide behind the flag because I don't want to expose my origins?
I’m half Czech and my mother came here to escape the country in the 70’s and I know almost nothing about my heritage.... I gotta be like the only dude in America with Czech heritage
Jacob Powell
Pls tell me the history there. Was it a "Czechs can have a country so the jews can too" kind of deal?
Blake Kelly
Czezh had a lot jews, youre probably jewish user
Adam Wright
Hope to god not.... I know there’s blonde hair and blue eyed Jews but my Czech side of the family is all blonde hair and blue eyed maybe perhaps less of a chance I have jew in me?
Jason Cooper
dude there's plenty of czech diaspora in the US. Where I live there's an annual Czech cultural festival
Hudson Williams
He's playing with you my man.
Lucas Perez
> " That's pretty much exactly what the ones we make look like Nice meme flag Mohammed They don't have a substantial muslim population though, do they? Fucking based. The EU is shit. Where I'm from, there are quite a few people of Czech decent. But yeah I can relate because I barley know anything about mine as well. Where are you from?
Christian Cox
I heard multiple times Czech Republic being called Texas by Americans jokingly.
Jack Campbell
Central Oklahoma
Angel Howard
>They're certainly the most western of all the eastern shitholes. Hilarious since every time being there always feel like Poland with funny language
Bentley Sanders
I thought I've heard that they act similar to Americans somewhere I'm from Minnesota. I know there is a festival here but don't know to much about it.
Andrew Taylor
Yeah I heard there’s some Czechs in Texas, was never sure how much, I live in Nevada so I’ve never run into another Czech or partial Czech in my life aside from family members
Luke Moore
I’m gonna be doing a dna test soon so I hope I come out okay, not gonna kill myself if I got like 10% jew stowed away somewhere but it would ruin my day
James Lee
I've been to the one here when I was a kid even though I'm not Czech. They had people dressed in traditional clothes and lots of czech food, pretty cool stuff
Leo Rivera
>one of the richest country in East Europe or >one of the poorest country in West Europe
Both options are shit.
Noah Lewis
Embrace the Central European master race status.
The west is cucked into oblivion with their love for muzzies and the east is still recovering from communism.
Nathan Foster
Why the fuck is the concept of "Central Europe" so difficult to grasp for you mutts? The Cold War is over and Germany has been reunited, you fuck.
>best quality of life of Eastern Europe >most based nation of Western Europe
You're doing fine.
Nolan Roberts
That's just because you can't recognize Czech surnames.
Juan Mitchell
We used to be western Europe until Soviets fuck us into being eastern. Can hardly consider ourselves western now considering the economic situation and rampant corruption
We're definitely eastern now, as we have the same issues as other eastern nations, and we'll never recover
Quite the opposite. Czech Republic supports Israel. Some politicians want to move embassy so Jerusalem. Israel wouldn't exist without us
Meh. Invading hordes of Vietnamese and Ukrainian cheap labor. Emigration of skilled, intelligent and educated people. We won't stay ethnically pure for much longer. Plus westerners are trying to force us to accept shitskins
This. Europe is completely fucked. We need to find a new continent
>tfw this will never happen as relations have been spoiled and our side is niggerfied
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I guess we will have to orientate ourselves after the french again.
Aiden Gonzalez
Or just you know, fourth reich maybe?
Julian Smith
It's called EU.
Nicholas Price
Yeah except it’s marxist instead fascist
Hudson Gomez
Why do English speakers keep talking about the Czech Republic when you might as well easily talk about Czechia
At least that's how we and a ton of other languages do. We say Tsjechië.
Ayden Peterson
For now.
Jaxon Davis
>non-country giving an opinion
Xavier White
That will happen after the revival of Inka religion&empire.
Isaiah Myers
hitler considered czechs to be the only aryan slavs
Carter Walker
>red, white, and blue Western. Same color, same team.
Aiden Allen
If you based euros get control of Europe and turn it 100% white again do me a favor and get a cool flag, like the black sun or some shit as oppose to a gay blue flag, or abolish any type of union, either one would be fine
Zachary Scott
Only an American could come up with something like this
Hunter Foster
What about some kind of cool square flag?
Oliver Watson
It's all British Empire my dude
Kayden Phillips
I need to beat a Pole in an argument so would you be nice and help me develop a nuke, just like you did with South Africa?
You cannot beat us with arguments, if we realise we're in a loosing position we'll enter the so called butthurt mode, making you listen to stuff about hussars and single handedly defeating the soviet union.
Are you the same guy who promoted the Polish Gov't's plan to reform the EU in another thread?
Levi Jackson
Could you guys please annex all of Europe? You or Liechtenstein.
Dylan Sanchez
>we are western please accept us europe swear on my mom we arent like those eastern europeans please please respond there is a reason none of your nations ever achieved greatness, and that reason is this servitude to those who are better than you the only correct behaviour upon discovering something better than yourself is to destroy it thus proving you are actually better bending the knee and asking for guidance from superious is retarded since they will purposefully make you even weaker so you will never be able to best them in short you are all fucking scum
Adam Torres
No, no idea what you mean. I scour Jow Forums to find slav threads where I can shit on germans.
Link that thread, I'll have a read myself. I'll call the other polak Damian when I reply so you know which pole I am.
Joseph Watson
>Central Europe Yes
>Slavs, Celts, Germanics Yes, also bit of Hungarians and Jews
>Linguistically Slavic Only since the end of WWII. You would have been labeled a traitor and a fascist if you spoke German. However, up until 1945 it was normal to speak both Czech and German. Funny thing is that Czech language was basically irrelevant in 19th century (spoken only in villages and small cities) and was brought back to life by German linguists.
>History tied with West Yes. Last king of Bohemian origin died in 1306, since then we've been ruled mostly by House of Luxemburg and Habsburg.
The only contact with the East was in 863, when Byzantine scholars came to Moravia to bring Orthodox Christianity and alphabet.
Soviets fucked us up big time in 1968, most of the elite was forced to exile or degraded to work ridiculous jobs. Today, we are our biggest enemy. The government feasts on hate and envy and people still think it's ok to steal from the state.
Israel has very strong support among the public. Czechs like Jews as long as they don't live in the Czech lands.
Jaxson Hernandez
nvm, found it.
Ian Taylor
I don't know and don't care man. The truth is we are German boot lickers so maybe Central in this day and age.
Robert Brooks
Damn, you know your history. Good for you.
Luke Russell
Based rus
Joshua Jackson
TFW no one ever remembers Jagiellons ruling over Bohemia :^(
yeah i'd say they are western given that the country used to be apart of austria-hungary. they got the label as being "eastern" because they were inside the iron curtain during the cold war.
Oliver Reyes
Well, the only relevant Jagellon on the Bohemian throne was Vladislav II. His son died childless while fighting Turks. Wasn't worth mentioning.
Cameron Robinson
>burger thread >is [issue X] black or white? When will you burgers realize there's nuance in real world
Evan Turner
It's not that we don't remember, it's just that a hundred years before that Karel IV was a thing and he beats Jagiellon rule in that period.
My paternal haplogroup is R-U106 (R-S21). My male ancestors through that line came from a town in Southern Bohemia. Most of had some Austrian or Germanic ancestors.
