Why is this country so aversed to being called Eastern European and say they're 'Central' European?
Like why are so many Eastern Euro countries shamed of being from the East? Is this just an /int/ thing?

Because the gap between Germany and Poland is as big as the gap between Poland and Ukraine. Nobody really wants to be lumped together with the worse ones, especially if they're not at all culturally similar (orthodox circle) and historically disliked.
The term also brings back shitty memories since in practice it's all about having been an unwilling part of the Soviet Bloc. You never hear people calling Austria Eastern European, and yet most of their country is on the longitude of Czechia.
And no, it's not just /int/, people can get pissy about the term elsewhere, both on the net and IRL.

They think you're calling them Russian.

I'm seeing this in Lithuania as well. Except instead of insisting on being Central European, Lithuanians want you to call them Northern.

Fat chance.

Why are non-Europeans so adamant on using outdated Cold War-era memes? Even Czech Republic is Eastern Europe to you. If you use cardinals to classify countries then an "Eastern" country better actually be decisively in the east rather than middle of Europe.

Eastern Europe is horrible trademark, we likely lose us as much as 15% possible trade deals and we can’t improve our standing in the world because of Russian idiocy such as the Crimean adventure.

But barszcz isn't just an east euro thing. Vodka is disputed to have been invented in either Poland or Russia but most people here drink more beer than vodka. We don't really even have bears here. And cossack dancing isn't something you'll witness in Poland very often at all, maybe if your on the countryside in the east close to Ukraine. I'm not disagreeing par se that we aren't East euro but I disagree with your points on why.

Czechs are eastern europeans
Russians are eastern europeans
Russians are disruptive to world stability
Russians are untrustworthy and you should not make a deal with them
You don’t know shit about Czech aside that they are eastern europeans
They must be untrustworthy because they are in the same region as Russians

Because Eastern Europe is a Cold War blanket term describing Russian puppet states.
"Eastern Europe" meant basically whatever happened to be behind the Iron Curtain. It's not based on geography, ethnicity, linguistics, culture, or any other relevant criterions, just on post-WW2 communist influences. It's outdated.

We actually had a pet bear, unlike ruskies.
Ruskies only roleplay as a bear, because they're autistic furfags.

investors think all slavs are the same and all latin american countries are the same.

a big crisis in Mexico causes capital flight in all of Latin America. Russia invading Crimea makes investors wary about all of "eastern" europe.

Eastern Europe as a term is very vague. Is everything slavic eastern european and if yes what is with Romanians for example? Even though Czeck people and Polanboos on this board don't like to hear that, but those two countries have a lot more in common with Germany, than they have with Russia and debateably Ukraine.

No surprise if you guys soon create a new term.
>>
>>75946916
I think the source of this confusion is false dichotomy in perception of these cunts. Everyone keeps asuming that there's some neat, clear division between Eastern and Western Europe.
Meanwhile in practice there's plenty of more of cultural circles in there and they constantly overlap with each other.
>>
because it lumps us into russian sphere of influence which we fought against pretty hard to be free

It's an old Cold war definition.

Also nobody wants to be in the same group as the Russians.

>>75930556
I don't care

Western Europe became a synonym for self-destruciton / irresponsibility.
