News / Polexit? Almost half of the Poles believe that Poland would be better off outside of the EU [548]


I don't see that actually....

Poland doesn't want to take part to help refugees and they don't have to...so the polish gov is very well able to adress their voter concerns. That other countries shouldering the burden don't look favourable to the solidarity ditchers is another point...

Merkel seems to be dead set on Nordstream 2, having Germany's energy needs (voter concern) in her view. That Poland and others don't look favourably at this business with Russia is another point...

Remember the planned constitution of the EU a few years back? Voters in France and Holland (if I remember correctly) voted it down and that was that, there is still no constitution for the EU.

Brussel isn't from Mars, all these people working there, steering and controlling the EU are being send by their member states, and of course they have their voters at home in mind all the time...it works as well as the govs at home, sometimes good, sometimes not so good...but that is no foreign overlord.

Do you have an example when voter concerns at home can't be adressed because of the EU structures?

Interesting....the EU pours money into Poland but somehow still manages to milk Poland?

Not naive then but totally genius! :)

That sounds like it will be the fault of the Poles that the EU sinks, because they have milked the EU dry...

It doesn't sound as if the EU is a bad thing, only terrible naive! Why all this hate?

"...As of 2019 the Polish economy has been growing steadily for the past 28 years, a record high in the EU and only surpassed by Australia in the world economy. ... According to the Central Statistical Office of Poland, in 2010 the Polish economic growth rate was 3.7%, which was one of the best results in Europe...."

Poland IS already a huge economic success INSIDE the EU....with lotsa SUPPORT from the EU....with Poles living and working across the EU...

Not even the UK is above 50%.....


I'm not sure....the longer a country is part of this union, the longer it has invested in it and has become part of this network, the harder it will be to cut all these fine and thick threads and they are growing all the time.

Poland is not an island like Britain, Poland is near central Europe....people get used to free movement and many more choices across the continent...

Poland in...say....25 years from now on will be an integral part of this mesh....cutting it out again will be much more of a mess than with Britain.

Life / "The Poland question?" Is antisemitism growing? [21]

Always astounding...such a nifty people, such powerful Übermenschen...able to manipulate the world from behind...since centuries...and yet unable to avoid their expulsion, the destruction of their original homeland, centuries of misery and their near-extinction during the Third Reich!

Don't tell me that was all part of the big plan for world domination...

Right now I personally think the most damage to Germany is being done by Merkel...not by any Zuckerberg or Soros...so maybe we might have different priorities!

....well...now that I think about it...she is partly polish...a late revenge on Germany maybe???

Life / "The Poland question?" Is antisemitism growing? [21]

Why do you think Poles wanted Poland to be re-instated after it's own partitions?

Do you feel world wide harassed, threatened and persecuted for being polish?

The jewish people are special, we non-Jews made them so, because of our murderous singling-out over the centuries. Now their enemies are even begrudging them their tiny country, that has to stop somewhere!


If Jews were treated like normal standard there would probably not be a problem, but that isn't so. They aren't treated normally...they are being hated and persecuted for being jewish. THAT is not normal, not Jews wanting to live alone, in peace, by themselves...

Life / "The Poland question?" Is antisemitism growing? [21]

Israel is a jewish state, an explicitely jewish state...and, as especially Germans know, for very good reasons!

It therefore implies the discrimination of non-Jews and the preference of Jews, if you like it or not.

The call to change that in the name of democracy and multi-kulti and the Palestinians implies the destruction of the one and only country of, by and for Jews and in consequence the Jews themselves. They would become refugees without a home again, easy pickings for world wide hater...again.

That's pure anti-semitism in it's most modern form!

Sadly no, the latest BDS demonstration happened in October...they are very alive and kicking (Jews).

It was a great medial ruckuss in Germany, but the Berlin gov is very hard leftist and had no problems to allow this to happen. But resistance is mounting!

Actually the most antisemits are the Leftists with their unbroken support of "Kauft nicht bei Juden" BDS ("Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions"). They aren't even ashamed of openly anti-israel demonstrations in the midst of Berlin, near the Holocaust memorial, allowing "We want to burn down Tel Aviv" slogans...not to mention the yearly "Al-Quds" demos on the Ku'damm.

The AfD on the other hand openly supports Israel even in their party program and laments Germany's behaviour at the UN council with not enough support for Israel during votings, often leaving Israel alone to face it's many arabic enemies. They too support Israel's new capital in Jerusalem!

So....it's more a case again of left against right...even leftist Jews are against the AfD...the more conservative Jews feel more threatened by Muslims and leftist Germans though...

I love my opinion polls...they rock!

News / Years of Poland in the EU - assessment of pros and cons [1199]

I believe thats it because they don't grow naturally...the no-families symptom is part of that. Young people, singles, ambitious, from all over the country pack their bags and hope for chances and adventures in the big cities of the West.

They are more often than not leftists...and they gather there...that's why polls in big cities skew every survey. Ask the people in the small towns, on the lands and you will get totally different answers and percentages.

But these young radicals get older too...and then their values often change...they start families...and suddenly leftist views and big cities lose their allure. Now they become more conservative and move out...it's a circle.

Well...I always thought that to be crap! There is no european football team to cheer for.. :)

And this is a survey from this year...a majority of 62% identifies as Germans first and foremost and only 19% see themselves as Europeans first.

I wonder why the EU is so popular in Poland then though....



pewresearch.org/global/2019/10/14/the-european-union/

A country shouldn't join a union if it prefers to be alone...and it looks like a majority of Poles has no problems with influencing and being influenced. The percentage ist even higher than in Germany.

You could rather say.....Germans don't like others, especially Poland, to influence our internal politics! :)

Define dictatorship!

Hitler was voted in democratically....

And for me the rule of the church is nothing less of a dictatorship and that lasted centuries, with a cruel opression and millions of killed! Obeyed mindlessly by millions!

In Germany the Protestants rebelled, not in catholic Poland or France.

What about Kings and Queens and their dictatorships, don't they count too? And Poles submitted, or they wouldn't had been partitioned...twice....

That historical fisheye on Germany is severely skewed...12 years...a history of 2000 years explained through 12 years, oh please!
