"There flashed across my opening mind the great truth that refutation is no necessary part of argument. Assume that your opponent is wrong, and then explain his error, and the world will be at your feet. Attempt to prove that he is wrong or (worse still) try to find out whether he is wrong or right, and the national dynamism of our age will thrust you to the wall." That is how Bulverism became one of the makers of Twentieth Century

Get the bullerman mug.A country in Southeastern Europe. The majority of the population consists of South Slavic people with desperate need to present themselves as non-Slavic due to historical inferiority complex caused by Russia; they have also a surprisingly large amount of ethnic minorities which are treated in a way Hitler could only dream of, and yet they like to pose as the most tolerant country in Eastern Europe. The thought pattern of an average Bulgarian is very peculiar and absolutely incomprehensive from the point of view of any inhabitant of a relatively civilised country, yet it's perceived as totally normal by the natives and their equally backwards neighbours, such as Serbs, Romanians etc.
It has to be noted that Bulgarians themselves are fully aware of their miserable condition and talk about it all the time, yet they will never admit it in front of a foreigner; a trait shared by Serbs and Eastern Slavs as well.
