Rising inequality and lowering life expectancy and rising death rates aren’t nonviolent. It’s actually incredibly violent, it’s just that we in the West have decided that poor people deserve the violence that is inflicted on them by the market.
East Germany was an exception because they were reunited with a wealthy Western partner that could absorb the shock, and this was done specifically to create people like you who would think the end of the USSR was a good thing. The rest of the former Soviet bloc didn’t have anything like that, and so life expectancy fell and death rates rose. It took over a decade to recover, and even today they still lag behind the rest of Europe.

You’re very arrogant for how wrong you are in your absolutist framing that East Germany didn’t have a mortality crisis directly post reunification
