News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [558]


Never tried Imperialism 1 or 2, want to tell me about it?

I used to play EU 2, and I play EU IV quite often. Having a run as Defending Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Years is close to 1800, didn't start any wars on my own. They were either through events, or dragged into one thanks to allies that were attacked or somebody attacking a Catholic state as defender of the faith.

It went really well for a long time until last ~30 years in the game. There was no religious war in the HRE, got Sweden as Union Partner through inheritance which the Moscovites challenged and lost their capitol for it.

Spain nr one in terms of great power thanks to colonies mainly, Ottomon Empire nr two thanks to Imperial conquest (They mainly attacked their religious "brethren" since Poland and Austria was too scary most of the time.) and Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which I play thanks to land development. Spending as much as possible on cheapest possible advisors, let me create basically zero tension while growing economically without having to declare any wars.

In my experience, being genuinely friendly gives a surprise and regular contact brings rather smiles and pleasant communication.

American accent and/or fake politeness, won't get you much

I had my fair share of testing different styles of governing/government through computer games and political intrigue and plotting/plans from movies. I've had some experience with acting, and to act as a villain I had to understand that mentality aswell, talking and behaving.

I took a scientific/testing approach, I found it entertaining at the time. Didn't know about the consequences.
So when I picture myself a political group governing I can easily expect what type of governing it could be. Depending on the groups past traditions of behavior and line of thought.

I thought Lewica made an unholy deal recently, and rest of the opposition were pushing them in to PiS arms. Leaving Lewica out of government would mean them being side by side PiS as the opposition

To obtain power, and basically blame bad decisions on them. Especially when security forces are used against PiS and Lewica?

I rather not write about it right now, my emotional rant is over for today. I apologize for waking up your curiosity.

Wanted to share a picture from park Skaryszewski yesterday. The file is too large tho (2,4 mb I think)

Lovely flower garden next to the rock commemorating allied bomber pilots dying during the Warsaw uprising.

I wish I could, but living most of my life in Norway I have seen what it did to Norway. Having it repeated is the last thing I want for Poland.

I have no wish of moving out of Poland, so I would have to fight tooth and nail if I have to. There is no other alternative, no other place on earth to seek refuge from this madness

Rainbows used to be something rare to see while there was sunlight while raining. It used to get me excited when I saw one and even take pictures and have it as a conversational topic. Now, every time I see it real or portrayed by anyone and even on commercial bags. It reminds me of the political topics about sex, perverts, hedonism, sexual acts that I find personally revolting.

I have a very vivid imagination so it takes very little to trigger stuff like that for. Possibly for them too, forcing me to battle with my mind constantly on every tram, commercial board or pictures on the internet pushes me towards insanity.

To put it mildly, it doesn't wake positive emotions in me anymore. I know who to thank for it too. So there is no reason to act surprised @pawian

I suggest trying out KETO, it helps with improving brain function. Especially dementia, you and your president could need it I reckon.

No, it's not meant as an insult. But, as it can be taken as one. I do apologize

That's by the state, but yes. You are right

The laws about those things have changed dramatically since 1980's. One year you aren't officially allowed two passports, next you are allowed! Maybe in two years it changes again. It's not that clear and I have no intention of schooling myself with new laws taking place constantly. I am no politician or advocate

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [586]

@Novichok
Definitely not
That's only the Labour Party's view and those on the left as long as you accept the society to be without any class, while having a king as head of state and party connections behaving like a depraved elite.

While the right side of politics think of anyone who has immigrated or have an immigrant parent (even one) is basically a visiting foreigner and maybe their kids might one day be Norwegian.

So no, your wrong

I asked once a monk about it, as there was a period in my life that I was wondering about getting one. Thankfully I didn't

Your lucky then, in Norway the "Sami" are still considered immigrants according to national statistics. Despite them living in northern parts of modern day Norway before the state of Norway came to existence.

I mean, if your line of thought was a reality everywhere and a group who would come to power in the U.S.A that deemed you or your kids to be operated away like a surgeon, then having to flee america. Your chances of survival would be quite slim

You should be happy you don't live in Tsarist Russia then. That's exactly the type of mindset they had about any minorities they deemed hostile towards the Russian state.

Forgiving them, not protecting them. Just cause they refute arguments from people who have left the church. Doesn't automatically mean there are no consequences, if there are no consequences. Then the administration should do something about it.

I am a sickfuck, thankfully I can control myself from doing sick things.

Not everyone is normal, I can only thank Jesus Christ for redeeming me and making me able to live. Which you most likely will never understand

How would you feel about lynching you for other sins? I would be careful with that line of thinking
