I read a long time ago that the divide was quire real in germany, the esteners had bad education (thank you Soviet Union) and were generally way poorer than the rich west germans, which lead to all kind of problems and the east germans felt like slave workers for the rich BMW drivers.
I don't know how much that played a role in the election but I sure think it's a breeding ground for a populistic party ...
"Bad education"? WTF are you talking about? The east experienced a full-on brain-drain after the borders were dissolved and the people who stayed got screwed by the Treuhand.
You're talking about scientists I guess, I was referring to the global population that learned state planned economy and russian instead of English for example.
But I'm not here to lecture anyone, thanks for the feedback.
... so you're saying that learning russian, instead of english makes you dumb? O.o
And don't get me started on economic education. If I'd judge the intellect of a person based on their understanding of economy, then I'd never stop to wonder how so many people were able to put their pants on in the morning.
Unfortunately capitalism completely exploited the remains of the DDR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treuhandanstalt
