I’m so fucking done with maps lumping Central Europe into Eastern Europe. Like you wanna tell me that Austria, Greece, Finland are somehow not eastern but Czechia is. Or how sometimes the Baltics are not eastern but Hungary is.
In this thread: westerners telling me what I should think. Well gee, next time maybe tone down the imperialism a bit.
And yet few people would argue the same of Murmansk, mostly north of Helsinki. We really need to consider history here, as well. Specifically which side of the iron curtain they were on.
I think you might be mixing different things here, because it’s fucked up shit
Northern Europe: British isles, Scandinavia, Finland, Baltics
Nordics: Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Greenland, Iceland, Faraoe islands
Scandinavia: Sweden, Norway, Denmark
Scandinavian peninsula: Sweden, Norway, North-western Finland
Fennoscandia: Finland, Sweden, Norway, Murmansk oblast, parts of Karelia and Leningrad oblasts
And there’s more stupid definitions for differently divided areas because fuck you
I mean, I am fucking done with maps portraying Europe as a continent. It is called Eurasia, you just like feeling extra special but geographically you are not 🤪
I don’t understand - Greece, EE and Austria are all clearly overlaid in top of each other in the same space. It makes no sense
Not in, like, the “there’s nothing there” way, but in the “there’s no substantive economic, social or geographic reasons to treat it as a cohesive region” way
