Life / Is Polish church involved in politics too much? [137]


This is beacause the issues most imortant for the RCC in Poland:are:

1. Number One: Money (preferably excluded from taxation as it is now)
2. Number Two: Sex (preferably with minors and under-aged)

Vatican and Germans are at the bottom of their priorities, so they don't care about them at all.

Genealogy / Are Sorbs Polish? Does anyone know about Sorbish enthnicity? [62]

Personally, I am fine when East Germans admit to their ancient Slavic heritage as it may happen in various circles of society, but obviously not everywhere. The past history of those lands between the river Elbe and the river Oder is now entirely the responsibility of the German people living there who indeed have Slavic roots and genetically they are a mixture of ancient Slavs and German settlers. Theirs cultural and political identity, however, is entirely German (or East German for that matter) now.

In Mecklemburg-Pommern, for example, there exist fine reconstructions of ancient Slavic fortified settlements (which I have not visited yet, unfortunately). Nothing of the kind exist in Poland. Many German archeologists have been actively researching the Slavic past of East Germany and there are quite a number of informative books on that in German. On the more popular front, I can regularly see articles on the Slavic past in the "Berliner Zeitung" online edition, so there must be segments of readers who are interested. Also, there is an informative site in German on the Slavic past of the Ruegen island with plenty of info on the local dynasty of Wizlawiden run by a guy who now lives in Hamburg where I have found an interesting info that the last person who spoke the Slavic language there died in 1404.

Yes, something is certainly changing underneath in Polish society. PiS seems to have lost its self-surviving instint. First, those non-sensical attacks on the LGBT in the presidential campaign ("they are not people, they are ideology") in hope of getting even more votes from the rednecks, then the power struggle within the governmental coalition in front of TV camaras (certainly Zbigniew Ziobro wanted to win too much for himself, so he may eventually lose everything as he has just a zero importance without JK), in between the bold statements of PM Morawiecki in summer on how they successfully fighted pandemia.

All this may have also added to the present change of mindset of the Polish society

Wow! PiS's electoral base might be shrinking so fast?

PiS is shootng themselves in the foot. They have just breached the 27-year long compromise on abortion law in Poland. This path leads them to be voted out of ofice as protests take place in their electoral stronghold too.

The tripartite separation of powers has been seriously breached. The Constitutinal Tribunal does what the Party tells them. Notice that the Tribunal has not been challenging the abortion law for the last 27 years as the late Preident Kaczyński avised everyone. Do you remember the memorable words of Lech Kaczyński, Gumishu?

Is he a gamma-male looser who hasn't been able to find his match for years?

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


It is worth noting that the late President of Poland, Lech Kaczyński who died in the Smoleńsk crash, had always insisted on the abortion law compromise which has just been swept away by the extremist right in Poland and is provoking huge demonstrations all over the country. He said it was a compromiseso painfully reached and it was absolutely vital to carry on with it unchanged. And yet the silly rightard circles and religious bigots decided to break it in the midst of the pandemic.

The government is actually fighting with two waves of protest, another one being the demonstration of the catering industry in the centre of Warsaw. Some time ago there had been farmer's protests against the so-called "five of Kaczyński". The clashes with representatives ot the LGBT movement were truly minor in the light of this as now several large segments of Polish society are at odds with this government.

Where does this madness of Poland's ruling party come from I don't really know.

You have provided none evoking "common knowledge" instead.


Strangely enough, the fittest survive in the long run despite all the efforts of human civilization. Nature is still stronger than human civilization which may collapse just in a few seconds.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland [2986]


Common knowledge is rubbish in the world of today's medicine. It was good and prevalent in the 18th century when people believed that inoculation against smallpox is against God's wishes and even one of the greatest minds of the epoch, Benjamin Franklin, refused to inoculate his second son in the result of which the son got smallpox and died (his father bitterly regretted his decision for the rest of his life). Today, I have been watching an interview with a professor in gynaecology, obstetrics and perinatology from a clinic in Wrocław, and he said on the number of aborted Dow's syndrome foetuses that there is no reliable statistics in Poland. He also said that the country with reliable medical statistics on the causes of abortion is the United States. So please don't hide yourself behind "common knowledge" as it is rather pathetic even for a religious fanatic like you.

Post a link to your sources with data worked out by independent professional medical bodies rather than organizations like the one of Kaja Godek, another religious fanatic ready to hide the truths which are uncomfortable for them.

Indeed, on November 5, 1917, Germany and Austria-Hungary jointly declared that a puppet state Kingdom of Poland might be created.

That was in 1916. You may find some info on the role of the Germans in Poland at that time, see this link:

There is a book on that published in English by German historian Jochen Böhler in which you may probably find more info on the subject:
