I've noticed something...
I think that people of slavic origin have some sort of global mentality thing going on.
What I imply is, whenever I had visited a slavic country, be it Poland, Slovenia or Bulgaria, I always felt like people are more sincere, albeit sometimes gray or not very talkative. It feels like Russia in every one of them in the way people behave and talk.
On the other hand, people, whom hail from germanic/anglo countries tend to put this retarded smile and pseudo-cheerfulness on their face whenever they see a stranger. This shit actually freaks me out way more than that gray slavic "idontgiveafuck" facial expression whenever approached by a newcommer.
Anyway, I think, I see similarities in the most general patterns of human behaviour between people of the same language family.
Anyone else noticed this?
Slavs are bro tier. There's a few in my town and they're great.
>>76068923
Pole/Ukro here, it's true. People always ask me if something is wrong because i always look kinda pissed or angry.
>>76068923
yup
the part about smiles i notice alot in the west
finns seem to behave the same way as us aswell
discussion of international culture belongs on >>>/int/
>>76068923
I agree. I come from Slovakia and I am currently studying abroad.
I noticed this as well
Pole diaspora here. I smile and I am genuinely happy. It's less fake than you'd imagine.
>>76069163
fuck off Mateusz
slavic mentality is heavily influenced by our political past.
so it's /pol/ related
Indians tend to be very awkward when it comes to behavior towards strangers
If you go out and try to greet an Indian, 99 out of 100 of em will try to avoid eye contact and won't respond
I thought it was like this everywhere but when I went abroad for vacation I was very surprised because everyone was smiling at each other and it looked really weird 2bh, I'm much more comfortable in India where no one will try to greet you unless they actually know you
>go in the west
>everyone smiles
>meanwhile slavface.jpg
>"what's wrong anon are you depressed you need some pills to make you happy again"
>>76069454
>Anon, smile please. We want to take a nice picture
I can't say I've noticed the same. People here are generally reserved, but it's not like everyone's an autist. Riding in a tram or bus, there's always groups of people talking and laughing while the rest sit quietly minding their own business. I wouldn't say we're gloomy people, it's just the way things are. People are also mostly approachable and polite and will gladly help you out if you ask them for directions for example.
I'll also never understand the Slav squat and tracksuit meme. It just doesn't happen here.
>>76069140
The thing is, I've been to Britain and sometimes felt alienated by Western verbal psychology, the way they talk and express emotions. It feels different and you are expected to smile like a retard else it is mistaken for being "angry" or weird. Also people don't go in details about their personal shortcomings during arbitrary conversations.
When I visited Poland, despite them being de-facto catholics by culture, I noticed that converstions go more Russian-way, lol. You can ocassionally whine to the taxi driver about your life problems, people don't fake smiles when interrogated.
It has nothing to do with orthodox/catholic culture, but with something much deeper.
>>76068923
>hay giuse, every notice how we are normal and others aren't?
That said, I must be a slav born into a germanic body.
>>76069413
>If you go out and try to greet an Indian, 99 out of 100 of em will try to avoid eye contact and won't respond
This is very diferent from what my friend said who traveled through India. His experience with Indians was the total oposite. He said he had to ignore Indians and just walk past them cuz they tried to talk to him, hug him or hold his hands all the time whenever he went.
Slavs smile if they're happy.
>being an autist incapable of smiling
I bet you dont make small talk with strangers at the bus stop either
I know 2 Ruskies, a Ukrainian and Serb well. They are invariably blunt, direct as fuck and seem really deadpan sometimes. It's refreshing as fuck tbf, brutal honesty is pretty rare quality here. Some of the easiest people to have a conversation with even if they come off as cold initially.

>>76068923
I always walk with dontgiveafuck.jpg or a meanfucker.jpg face, but I'm really a nice guy once you get to know me. I just don't feel like smiling to every asshole I meet. If I like you or you made a good impression, you'll see me smile. I think alot of slavs have this type of mentality.
>>76070191
>shitty weather we're having huh? did you catch the sox game last night? they're doing awful this season. oh thats interesting, I have an uncle in philly too. anyway, nice talk have a good day
>>76068923
Well, my friends from russia tell me that you don't smile when walking around there because being happy means you have some sort of wealth and means you're a target to be mugged.
Anyway, I'm polish and I guess this is true. The men in my family have always been fairly stern, and I don't smile when walking around. Never understood the idea of putting on a fake smile while you're walking around not talking to anyone. People interpret the neutral face as me being pissed off though.
>>76069726
This is true
I am also intruiged about the slav squat but i do see a lot of adidas tracksuit pieces
Mostly pants and shoes never the full set
Also our people in dalmatia are brown noses towards turists
>>76068923
It doesn't have to do with Germanics/Slavic division
It has to do with communism and liberalism
Communism at one point turned into a social darwinistic, corrupt, cynical, stripped of any values system and that I think sunk into peoples' heads. They didn't believe in anything, they didn't think it is worth trying to do anything, they didn't hold themselves to any standards, they weren't proud of anything and that made them closed inside
Liberalism on the other hand also promotes cynicism and nihilism, but at least it makes people believe in some shallow, very general values like openness, tolerance and it perceived itself as morally superior to communism, because it protected some rights and freedoms. And I think in contrast with communism, this is what made western people feel good about themselves which influenced their mood
Communism was : "Yes, we don't believe in any standards, we steal, we destroy, but what you're going to do to us?"
Liberalism on the other hand wants to hold people to certain standards, to appear as a system that has ideas for the better future
I don't believe in any strong similarities between Poles and Russians for instance, except the fact that they both drink vodka and have a similar language. But that's about that. Poles are more similar to Italians, Spanish and Irish
>>76068923
Close genetic ties. Plus, Russia had a military occupation of most Eastern European countries for about 50 years, in which there was considerable breeding between the Russians and those Slavic groups. I worked at a machine shop which employed many Ukrainians, Russians, and Poles, and they were pretty much identical.
>>76070386
Jesus that is cringey

Mind your own buisness
>Didn't live in a Slav country till my 20s
>Russian-Pole hybrid
>Still walked around with Slavface.jpg
It's pretty interesting how even cultural conditioning from birth couldn't stop Slavface. Is it a developed hereditary trait to ward of predators? Or did I unwittingly pick it up from subconscious behavior analysis of my parents?
>>76069872
In regards to the British mentality, it stems from the
>keep calm and carry on
Meme. Good manners is very important in our interactions. And I find whining to the taxi driver really odd. It's none of his business and not his problem, its much easier when everyone gets along and things atleast seem fine and dandy on the surface.
>>76070631
DNA. Didn't live in a slav country so obviously not to ward off predators. Maybe picked from parents if they show the same face.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I bet this false openness in western countries is only a product of the XXth century
I doubt Thatcher or Dickens were like that
>>76068923
Yeah mate I noticed this in Ukraine. Much prefer the sincerity to false smiling faces which I don't trust. With Slavs you know where you are.

Lol, I remember reading some meme by russian aristocrat visiting England in 19th century. He went to party and everyone were so silent and calm (all men kinda fell asleep while pretending to be deep in thoughts) he tried to cheer up the mood. Never was invited again. Very cold people he said.
>>76070966
Yeah but that's just cause they spend most of their time alone in an empty house. They enjoy having someone to converse with even if it's just for a few minutes.
Fuck I hope I die before I hit that level of old
The same thing is going on in Finland too.
When I was in Britain some Indian guy asked me if I was mad at him when I did not start to talk to him at the gym.
Our media always complains how stupid we are because we dont express our feelings the same way Americans do. For example when Americans say that they love something, it means that they like it but here in Finland it would be very odd to say that you love some sport or item. The world love is only used to describe your feelings to some person you actually love, not just like.
>RIP English grammary
>>76071041
Yeah bro i get you its the only reason i talk back
Because i know they have noone to talk to back home
>>76071037
We're much less smiley and open than the mainlanders atleast. Think there's even a fb or twitter page about it "Just British things" or something
>>76069963
That's probably because your friend is white

why does everyone in america smile all the time anyway?
i feel like i almost dont belong here.

We're not the only nation that sits like that are we? right? RIGHT?
>>76071130
I could never imagine myself saying that I love my bestfriend because I am not gay. I can only love a woman, I think :D :D
Every Slav I have ever met always looked like they had fifty years of communism written on their face. Like their people had gone through endless famine and forced to eat nothing but beats. Like they've lost all hope and are so tired, yet it has become normal for them, so they aren't that bothered about it anymore.
Alright, OP here.
I solidified what I wanted to say.
I don't know the reason, but I think that slavic people in general, regardless of their country of origin have verbal culture, which implies smiling only when you feel like it. If you had a bad day, you don't try to impress the stranger and fake a smile. But when you feel like smiling, you smile, even though it may sometimes be inapropriate too. Less empathic, but a more sincere verbal mode and it seems like it is hardwired. That's it. I think I nailed my thoughts.
We even have a saying in Russian: "Ulybka bez prichiny - priznak durachiny".
Literally: "A smile without a reason is a sign of stupidity".
>>76069104
They look like they'd be down for anal sex
>>76071183
We squat too... but for a different reason
>>76070432
Here at least literally no one just walks around smiling at nothing, that's insane. Neither do people passing each other on the street. I can't imagine this sort of shit goes on anywhere in the west unless it's some small town where everyone knows each other.
Here the only thing is that strangers might strike up a bit of banter with a sales clerk or someone they're sitting next to on public transport. Funnily enough I live in lelbourne and this has steadily decreased with multiculturalism.

Eastern europeans are real, theyre not fake like westerners usually are.
>>76068923
Central and Eastern European countries aren't as rich as the West and lived under oppresive ruling systems for the last few decades. I think it made the people more careful and maybe a bit bitter. Western Europe on the other hand is rich and more democratic, the people there are spoiled liberals who think they are special happy snowflakes who need to save others.
>>76068923
Im from Yugoslavia.
I have been in Baltic States for many years also. Even though they are not totally Slavs they have similar treats over there. Some are pure Russians there.
Baltics though are not as Slavic as Russians, but still have way more slavicness than Western Europe.
Was living in Lithuania for many years, They way someone moved was enough for me to tell if they were Baltics or Russians. Russians also are more laid back and was always more friendly.
Not trying to make this into a fucking debate between soviet countries, please avoid this shit here, thanks.
Western Europeans will never ever ever understand real Slavic mentality.
They will never understand how to renovate things, how to repair shitty items, or how to renovate or build a house with your grandfather with very little money.
Or simply things like, renovate a room, put in new floor, paint it, do electrical work, fix lamps, install furniture, covers, ceiling, etc etc etc.
In western europe ofcourse there are people who are very handy and talented with these things.
But in Slavic country everyone can do these things from the age of 14 years old.
All western europeans understand is political differences, leftist policies, socialism, how to order take-away-food and how to buy shitty products in a supermarket.
Slavs are fucking great, and if you dont squat with adidas sweatshirt and have a panbag, then fuck you.
>>76071228
That's a nice way to put it
>>76071130
I fucking hate it when they go all "I love you mommy" every 5 minutes in their shitty movies.

It's the years and years of bullshit people are waking up from that gets you the face.

Smiling feels unnatural to me

The face probably has something to do with westerners no living in shitholes
Just the other day our tickets for the bus went up 60% in price, you don't see that in developed countries
>>76068923
As an Anglo Pole, maybe I inherited these traits. Im not too friendly with people until I know them and I don't smile easily. The British can be very superficial and I've never trusted that.

Pretty certain it's to do with prolkult.
What's I've noticed aswell is that while a lot of westerners do have this "fake smile" attitude, the one place I know which is just how you described Slavic countries is Northern Ireland. Might be all the conflict and poverty but they walk around angrily glaring at everything, but once they talk to you they're perfectly friendly
>>76071950

Wut? Americans do that.. I only smile at strangers when there's something to smile about.. Like when you're on the train and they call a delay, and the people in the wagon give each other knowing looks and smiles like 'Jesus Christ again with this shit? How hard can it be to keep trains running...'
>>76071443
Knowing how to repair and rennovate stuff comes from poverty. Why would you learn how to fix something when your parents can just hire someone to do it or by a new lamp. Slavs used to be peaceful farmers so of course they have inventiveness by nature. I grew up on a farm and I had to do a lot of actual work when I was young, so I know these things too. The loss of that inventiveness is more related to urbanization and wealth.
>>76072025
By buying a card instead of tickets if you have to travel often. You could also just not buy a ticket and avoid the people who check.
The reason they increase the price is because a lot of people don't pay. It didn't cost much anyway dunno what that fag is whining about.
>>76071183
You kind of are... A Russian guy on /int/ told me it's mostly because the ground in former Soviet states is dirty, and there are usually no benches or other furniture on the street unles people dump old sofa's...

In post-soviet countries these benches are usually occupied by gypsies or homeless.

Britain is a special case m8, they're complete pussies in their personal and public lives and you can tell by the way they speak. They always beat around the bush and never directly say something if it's negative, they'll take a paragraph to express something like 'Your idea is bad' and couch it in a thousand different ways because they're afraid of making you feel bad.

>>76072531
>In post-soviet countries these benches are usually occupied by gypsies or homeless.
We get very little gypsies because giving money to beggers/panhandlers goes against Dutch greedyness... Homeless are not allowed to sleep on the street, so they tend to wander around rather than stay in the same place.
>And those who aren't are dirty, sticky or destroyed.
We are very ordnung-oriented though, so they'd get cleaned and fixed.
>There are exceptions, but it's just in the very good parts of town. The ones where you have police officers walking every hour.
We don't have much difference between the good and bad parts of town, and you'll see more police in the bad parts than the good ones.
I actually cannot even squat like you see the Slavs in the pics do. Either I set my feet fully flat, and almost fall backwards, or I sit like the Slavs while on my toes/front of foot. Can't squat like a slav with flat feet..

Westerners are nervous talkers I wish they would shut the fuck up.
They're always...doing things. Us Slavs are more contemplative and I like it like that.
>>76072372
I'm honestly don't understand how do gopniks squat. Every time I try I get severe pain in the knees. Maybe it's because I'm only half Russian. Or maybe because when I was born, benches weren't that rare anymore. Also squatting (as well as gopniks) slowly stops being a thing among younger generation.

>>76072372
That guy on /pol/ was pulling your dick.
We saw what radical idealism produces, so we choose to focus on the here and now rather than the concepts of things and absolutes.
>>76073159
I've read that if you don't 'practice' from a young age on the tendons in your feet will not be stretched enough for a flat-footed squat.. So if you sit on benches now, and also phase out the squatting-toilets, it's likely your generation is no longer physically able to.
I also was amazed at how seriously Westerners take racial slurs and callings.
In Eastern Europe it is not a big deal to call ethnic Russian a katzap (literally "kak tzap" - "like a goat" in Ukrainian, for Russians used to wears huge beards), or to call Ukrainian "hohol" (literally "crest" due to traditional cossack haircuts attributed to them), or to call Belorusian a "bulbash" (literally "potato" in Belorusian, for there's a sreteotype, that they are potato-obsessed, lol).
In fact, these callings may be used inoffensively in informal conversations.
Africans are called "negr" and it is not a slur, but an arbitrary designation, which is not racist.
Jews used to be called "zhid" and it was not an offensive slur.
In the West every fucking black person is suddenly an "African American" and if you call them like you do in Russia, you are suddenly commiting a hate crime.
And again, it is not offensive here and I initially was confused, when I almost unintentionally insulted one guy.
Westerners are very thin-skinned and easy to offend.
>>76073299
It was /int/... And streetview/pictues of the area he lived in made it kind of believable: No benches, just garbage and shitty looking buildings.
>>76073186
Even if we see fruits, we will only see it to be destroyed again by us. We are like orcs, togather we make massive waaagh, but when we defeat enemies, our fightines will fell and we will start killing eachother again. That's the way we work. We need enemies to fight, always.
>>76068923
I wouldn't say this is caused by language or genetics. People from Lithuania or Hungary behave similar to Slavs in this regard even though they are not related genetically or linguistically. I think this is cultural thing, shaped by political and economical history which is quite similar for discussed ethnic groups.
>>76071183
I find myself squatting for quite a bit of time every day. Though I only started realizing how much I actually squat after I got into stalker. I also have the slavface.jpg and can't fake smile for shit.

>>76073130
Yes, smiling at members of your community and wishing them a good day is pure hypocrisy. Instead, we should glare at each other distrustfully and perhaps curl our lips in disdain as we pass each other by. That's how you create a pleasant environment, by tearing down any sense of community and sneering at pro-social behavior.
>>76073333
We have been overwhelmed by a new version of communism, it is focused on identity rather than class.
I don't think I've ever seen a fat russian. Does such a thing exist?
>>76073389
It's believable until you try to squat yourself. Benches and garbage have nothing to do with it. The origin is in the prison culture.

We only have those terms for some people, most notably Germans (='Moffen'), and that stems from the war.. As such, it's not very nice, but it's seen as a friendly joke more than anything.. It's more sensitive when the ethnicity in question is also a sort of race. Loempia (egg roll) for asian person or Pinda (peanut) for Indonesian specifically is less accepted, but still pretty common.
>Africans are called "negr" and it is not a slur, but an arbitrary designation, which is not racist.
Dark skinned people with African features=Neger. Less common these days, but the term 'negroide' (negroid) is still used when describing people in official way. (mostly in descriptions of wanted people/suspects, kek).
>In the West every fucking black person is suddenly an "African American"
That's just America though. And I've seen them call Dutch black people 'African American' even though they've got NOTHING to do with America... It's retarded. We ususally just call them Surinamer/Antilliaan if they're colonials, or Africans when they're African.
>>76073333
That's all jew bullshit, it's gotten progressively worse over the years
When I was a kid, nobody gave a fuck about calling someone a faggot. There was still PC stuff, but it wasn't policed as much.
One of the first things people did when 4chan first appeared was to call niggers niggers on /b/. It was a sort of outlet for a lot of the un-PC stuff we had to keep up as a result of jewish social conditioning.
It's getting really bad now though. Making finger guns, playing contact sports, being kids, it's all pretty much outlawed. To the point you see what you do today.
20 years ago it was nothing like this.

I don't frequent Rotterdam, but I've been to Amsterdam West, Zuid Oost, Gein and the shitty parts of Noord more than I care to think about... Weirdly enough the only place I was ever attacked by a gang of scum was in Oud-Zuid, one of the most expensive parts of town...
If you compare it to places where they have actual ghetto's, like the US, or no-go zone's like Sweden, the differences between shit neighborhoods and good ones really aren't that big.
>>76068923
>On the other hand, people, whom hail from germanic/anglo countries tend to put this retarded smile and pseudo-cheerfulness on their face whenever they see a stranger. This shit actually freaks me out way more than that gray slavic "idontgiveafuck" facial expression whenever approached by a newcommer.
Americans are worst, Brits-Canadians do have tradition of politeness but It does not stand out. They just say sorry automatically when they bump you.
Americans have a weird tradition of always smiling, making small talk to stangers etc. It's just different customs, you find it weird as much as I did. Americans are a weird bunch, europeans are "foreigners" yes but for the case of americans it is as if they are from a different planet.
I don't know why, I would say the ocean seperated the cultures but anzac's are not as weird as they are.

This might have been true in the past, but now, after everything, we finally know each other intimately. We know, in our souls, that we are virtually the same. This is why there are still those forced 'celebration' of the 90's in your country and shitty Slobo-tier populism in mine. It's the last twitch of a dying mentality.
There will never be a fratricidal war in the Balkans again. Too many people got redpilled in the proces.

It costs €2000,- here... You can borrow that money at a <1% interest rate, but still. It isn't free anymore.. My generation (just a few years ago) got it for free upon graduation (loan turns into gift if you get a diploma), but the current generations just get it as a loan and have to pay everything back.
It's a side effect of living in a gray concrete radiated shithole for their entire lives, also mongoloid genes causing severe autism(see:Finnlanders)

Shittiest post ever. You definitely have no idea about Soviet communism. Unless it was that shitty only in Poland. That or you was born in the 90s after the Soviet Union fell and think this is how it was, when in fact this was capitalism. I was born in Soviet Georgia in the 70s.
If the Soviet people didn't hold themselves to "any standards" or weren't "proud of anything" then noone did.

>>76074659
Maybe I'm autistic but it just drives me nuts. I'm tired of having to pretend to be smiley all the time. When I walk around with my neutral face, people go "what's wrong?" as if something is wrong. Nothing is wrong. Why would I be smiling when I'm just walking down the street, or doing some mundane task?
It's like people view being happy/smiley as the default. It's exhausting. Having to pretend that the most boring, tedious parts of the day are actually fulfilling and cause for smiling.
>>76073653

Slavs are great. They are friendly when they have a reason to be friendly, but they'll respect your privacy and leave you the fuck alone otherwise. What the hell is up with westerners even, I don't need every random passerby to acknowledge my existence.
>>76068923
You visited old communist poor countries that had Russian overlords and culture forced upon them and you wonder why they're the same?
I'm sorry but come to the Balkans and visit say Montenegro or Croatia.
I think you'll find us very different.
Mostly it's a North/South divide where Southern countries do poorly economically but are overall a lot more cheerful because shits just nice. Weathers nice, foods nice and they like to laze around and Siesta.
I live in a city but it's small. I know all my neighbors we talk and hang out. We have grills together and are generally on very good terms.
Next to my house there a apartment complex. Theres at least 40 people living in it.
I know no one. They also don't know themselves. Nobody gives a fuck about neighbors.
Living in Apartments dehumanizes shit a lot. But when you own a house and you live there for 2 generations or more you know everyone around you it's nice.
Shit I don't even have a fence to my neighbors because there no need.
>>76073562
Yes wishing is free that's why you do it, once it needs some work on your part (eg. help), a "member of your community" becomes instantly an "annoying stranger" and you're not smiling anymore.
People don't smile constantly when they're happy, smile is something you do fora WHILE when something good happens and then revert back to normal. Smiling without a reason is hypocrisy by definition. Especially when it comes from cold people like Germans.
>>76073653
Not American land-whale tier but there are fat Russians, loads of them.
>>76068923
I'm a Russian and Italian mix... Which works quite well when you think about it. Ive never understood why American retail workers always have that fake smile. All of us know you hate yourself and hate working there, so just cut the shit and stop asking me 100 times if I need help. If I really need help, trust me I'll ask you.
I've been to both Russia and Italy in my life. Both Russians and Italians will tell you EXACTLY what they think of you, but present it in a much different way. Americans (especially those down south) will pussyfoot around it. Ever go down south and be told "bless your heart"? It's not a good thing...
Both Russians and Italians (and to an extent people from New Jersey... Who tend to be Slavs or Meds) will just tell you to fuck off.
>>76071484
My grandmother is Polish and we never do that shit. My other one is Italian but she's a lot younger and didn't know what to do with kids, so not much mothering happened. My mom inherited that feeling of "we live together, that's it." The two systems have overall made me more comfortable talking with strangers and yet less likely to do it in the first place. I don't smile much either
>>76068923
I'm a mutt, I do both, sometimes actually both at once, like my face can't decide whether to rest in nautral or smile. It's a very strange experience to take as a passive observer of your own face.

You think that's bad? Look up "microaggression theory". The larger implications of these things are terrifying; in the west we're actively working to create a population where everyone needs to feel comfortable and secure at all times, not having that feeling of security is an acceptable reason not to function, and anything that violates that sense of security needs to be stamped out of existence. I don't see how any society so conceived, to borrow a phrase from Lincoln, can long endure.
Also, checked.

No. Pretty much everyone can sit like that after 1-2 y.o.

Russia didn't have a black Civil Rights movement like the US did, nor did they ever have a significant number of black slaves. This past adds a lot of baggage to the word, and you have to really watch your back in public with that word, because not all SJWs use hair dye.

When I met a Russian girl from Moscow after talking online, I never seen someone smile at me like that before. It was the most intense and lovely thing I've ever seen. She would pull away her face as if her eyes were glued to my eyes. And she said that people in New York smiled for no reason and that it was strange. So maybe when Russians smile it is really intense
i think I have a more slavic attitude with smiling, because I always feel annoyed feeling pressured to smile. I have very angry looking eyebrows which doesn't help

This happened in germany too. Ticket prices for adults and children are rising regularly.
Also: One scoop of ice used to cost about 30cent now its up to 70-90cent (the ice cream van price, not the ice cream cafe price).
