I'm going to assume Eastern Europe as a whole is still the same as always?

Hot blonde women who doll up and act like women, and guys still act like guys?

The forever stereotype is those Eastern Euro and Russian hotties are materialistic and princessy. But hell, I'll accept that for pure hotness!

I guess it's 50% true now, and this stereotype was mostly about Ukraine/Belarus/Russia vs. Wastern Slavic people (Polish, Czech, Slovaks etc.)

Our women were strong and independent long before western feminists "invented" it, close to 60% of women were employed during communism, yet family unit was also very strong. They had to work, they didn't do it to fight patriarchy...

Right now modern feminists agenda work on some younger women (Millennials, Gen Z) thanks to internet brainrot, but I think percentage of truly infected women and girls is not very high (compared to the west), most of them don't give a fuck about this bullshit. When it comes to men, I think they didn't change that much but of course younger gens are looking a bit more fragile and feminine (like everywhere else).

Women are good looking, I would say percentage if nice looking girls and women is quite high here (especially in cities), but "act like women" part is a bit more complicated I guess, hahaha.

In Canada, I'd say the whole wokish shit didnt affect us that bad. It did to a certain extent since the liberal gov (femboy Trudeau who literally quit being PM because he was doing so bad in polls) edges to that. But the new liberal PM seems more like a traditional old dude suit and tie PM. And since our economy and media is so linked to the US, you cant help but see the usual dumbassery in the US with their politics, looting, shooting sprees, trans articles etc.... But news goes like this: Local town news first --> country --> US --> global. So you dont see any Euro news here unless something big happened over there getting attention. Most of the UK news we get probably relates to Prince Harry and Markle getting in hot water with the royal family. So we wont see any granular news here about the UK or Poland here.

For the most part, people in Toronto area (extremely multicultural) care more about just going to school, getting a job and working. The amount of weird racial injustice beefs, mob looting, crazy gender debates you see in big US cities is a fraction here. So for anyone out there who lives in a homogenous city thinking a lot of foreigners and people who can barely speak the local language is destined for complete failure because the media shows it's a shit show can be wrong. You just need the right people with the right mindset moving in who dont do anything stupid and just gets along with each other focusing on their family and career. You dont even need to be some uber rich foreigner. My parents immigrated here after WWII dirt broke, half the family was killed and my parents didnt even know English. But they did fine and our entire fam tree spanning some uncles and aunts branches did fine too. Just need the right mindset of people.

I was always under the impression private healthcare is good for those that have jobs with companies that provide good benefits

And universal healthcare is good for those that dont

people might use it to shit on the UK but the NHS is amazing.

i'll take being "poorer" any day over worrying if i can afford an ambulance or running out of a hospital because i'm worried about going into debt.

One does not exclude the other, just look at Switzerland, you can have a state with super high wages, moderate taxes and great social services for their citizens. But that works because the Swiss are business friendly, hate over regulation and protect their job market from wage dumping.

Swiss have great marketing. "Neutral" just means they didn't want to get bombed but were very third reich friendly. They shot down US aircraft regularly.
