It wasn't the big multi ethnic society

Like Germany

But bavarians and the like cared about their identity

Germany is an artificial concept

Yeah there was nationalism amongst the nobility sometimes such as in Scotland where they didn't want to be ruled over by Anglos and started rebellions, but nationalism was nowhere close to the scale it would reach later

I'm just saying

It existed

Yes

Thing is about Germany us

The union killed a lot of smaller German cultures

Or dialects

It kinda just absorbed them into larger groups

Yeah

That's what nationalism is

Then what about Russia?

Regional identities are either worn down or eliminated entirely

It's still very diverse

And has a lot of regional ethnicities

It even holds some of the last ethno-religious pagans

Because they were still "Germans"

While Russia is fairly diverse out of Europe

Germania to me is a mess of like similar looking flowers

Only slightly related enough to be considered the same family

Then when put in the same pot

They bred and kinda formed a new idea of Germany

Yes.

@Honey Beanger look I like you

Don't ruin our friendship

😦

Lmao

With Ukrainian shit

Ukrainian music is good

Yes

@Valeska-ἑταίρα are you anti ukrainian

But ukrainians are still novorossiya

I don't hate Ukrainians, I just think it would be mutually beneficial if they were an autonomous republic within the Russian Federation

I mean Belorossiya is trying to unify with Russia

Eh

Unification is always brought up but never happens

Because of the West
