Poles - what other nationality would you say you are most like? [125]
What makes you think that? Explain please.
Because Polish like Vodka as the equivalent to Pastis?
If you'd read my post more closely you'd see I explained that the Polish/French affinity rests upon a love of political freedom, art, and stylishness in general. Trying to understand cultures solely in terms of alcoholic beverages is very superficial. Since literary comparisons would be wasted upon the likes of you let me point to a more popular medium, the cinema. Polish movies like Ashes And Diamonds and The Saragossa Manuscript stand up well next to the best French New Wave films, and imagining that any of the less sophisticated European peoples could make such films is laughable.
Ach...Nietzsche doesn't count...he was a Pole himself with serious identity problems!
There was a family tradition amongst the Nietzsche's which claimed Polish ancestry. Friedrich's father actually had the family registered as non-German with the Prussian authorities. However Nietzsche is not a Polish name but a German one which is somewhat common in the Eastern part of Germany, despite this we can say that Nietzsche's philosophy is a thundering affirmation of Sarmatism, and he was indeed Polish in spirit.
