I find that Ogorek totally misunderstand me:
...so you also think that the meek shall inherit the earth? Bollocks.
They will get nothing in todays world.
Human nature showns that the strong will survive - and the weak will suffer
You are absolutely right about the powerlessness of the meek, but from my point of view, as every human being is potentially equal (some may be strong mentally while others have advantage in physicality, even the most outwardly incapable have some amazing abilities that need to be nurtured). So that is the duty of universal education is to guide every human how to reach their fullest potential and to master their destiny, 'to be an Equal among the Equals, to be free among the Free'. (Even in the hopeless case, which should be very rare if the education system is advanced enough, compassion and empathy can be deeply instilled into all other members of the world society so that they would help instead of bullying and ostracizing the unfortunate few).
If you see human society just like nature, that is lions always eat sheeps, then you will basically turn yourself into a beast, no more, no less.
Standing up for yourself - and your country is not nationalistic. Just a necessity.
Don't be so naive.
The ideas I have expressed through the post is my own ideas, it has nothing to do with the standpoint of my country or my other countrymen.
The Kaczynskis are not perfect - but their actions are defensive. They comment when provoked and are not afraid to say it how it is - even if it offends. They will not take any s**t from anyone. They are looking for respect.
Respect is gained through honour, courage and integrity.
I of course wish they could be better, and anyway just to be quick with the mess, I requote myself:
The end is just, and I can see beside nationalists, significant portions of idealist Poles supported the Kaczynskis' fight. With recent EU talk about capping the population count at 60 millions, the Kaczynskis had unwittingly contributed greatly for the cause of Equality in European Union.
They have done rather well, but remember the word "
unwittingly". To care greatly for Poland is excellent, but I really doubt they really care for EU, a great project, no matter how currently flawed it is right now. That stands in stark constrast with truly great Poles in history like Adam Mickiewicz and Jan Pawel 2, who possessed both Polish distinct virtues and the universal humanist outlook.
So brace for another lonely fight again, Polska.
...if you want to get something done - you've got to do it yourself.
That is actually a statement of sympathy, not derision.
To conclude, I can easily see that you are a Polish ultra-nationalist, and that you represent the worst aspect of a nation I greatly admire. Simple as that.
And I also suddenly understand why some Poles could possibly hate some other Poles so much.
