Only one comment: I don’t see myself drinking sodas any time soon.1
- because it will take so much time until I forgot this [↩]
This is what I got just a couple of minutes ago with the comment “How pathetic!“.
I am known, and I am, a bit of an anti-system and critical person. “A bit” can be an understatement, I admit.
But this is something else. We are not talking about a system here. We are not talking about Romanian culture. We are not talking about a phenomenon here. We are not talking about a defining attribute.
The whole world does NOT look at “America Got Talent” and say “Aha! So this is what Romanians are!”
People - be smart! At least once in a while! Or at least shut up! See the perspective and not just the dirt under the nails! A hard working and smart farmer with dirty nails is not the same thing like a stinking city-man that you bump into while sharing public transport!

The transition from Communism to Capitalism is always going to give birth to some monsters.
And there will always be a majority that gains nothing in the short-term out of this transition. Needless to say, some will loose. Well-being is something that is mostly transferable and only rarely created.
The majority will always look for quick end to their injustice. Kill the monsters! At that moment, they don’t care about religion, about laws, about morality, and above all.. about their own pure existence!
To cut this short, in a transition you will always have the extremists. Those who promise you a clean bold line between good and evil! And that there will be no exceptions!
And in Romania, we have Greater Romania Party which is actually a one-man show (no, not party) in the name of Corneliu Vadim Tudor (or simply Vadim). Of course, we are not cheap and we have others.
And this is how Vadim “works” when the Romanian Presidency reads an act condemning communism and its practices:
Yesterday somebody took a stand. In a talk-show focusing on the main contenders to the position of Mayor of Bucharest’s Municipality, after Vadim started babbling like always about how great he is, about how unjust the talk-show was, and all of that in 10 minutes of his 1 allowed minute.. Dragoș Bucurenci, a young person who actually made a difference in terms of Romanian NGOs, bursted with a harsh, yet not demeaning phrase:

Merely a living soul;
mostly one that survives.
