Life / Will Poland ever be multicultural like Sweden, Germany or France? [283]

the main foreigners are still Poles and Czechs

... that's not what AI thinks.

ChatGPT says that in German prisons like those in Bautzen, Görlitz, or Dresden, the largest foreign inmate groups are actually Turks, followed by nationals from countries like Romania, Syria, Italy, and others-not Poles or Czechs as the primary groups. It also says that German government report in Saxony (you said Bautzen, Gorlitz, Dresden) do not list Poles or Czechs as top groups in prisons but Turks consistently as the largest group.

It makes sense, as there are far more Turks than either Poles or Czechs in Saxony and Germany in general.

there is no need for anti-Semitism in German society

... but there is need for populism?

Do you know what the word populism means?

I know what it means, I just don't know why the German government is fighting a populist party with populist methods (so they are, in a way, turning into populists themselves). It's like fighting communism by turning into communists.

AfD is a populist party that the government is trying to fight with populist methods.

:D

That's just brilliant. haha

Are AfD anti-semites? If they are then, according to your theory, the government will fight them with even more anti-semitism? xD

I always knew Germans were collectively bipolar but I didn't know it's that bad!

@Alien

3 million? If Poles keep having 1 child on average, then eventually 38 million will turn into 19 million, then 9.5 million etc. 3 million wouldn't be enough even for Poland, not to mention the entire EU.

Besides, if we import tens of millions of people from 3rd world sh*tholes, then inevitably we will become a 3rd world sh*thole as well. Not a good idea.

elect either fascists or communists

Nah, the current retards can stay but they have to introduce...

- more incentives to have children (more tax reliefs, longer paid maternal/paternal leaves,
more free creshe/playschool places etc.)

- more disincentives for childless parasites (additional taxes, public shaming, social exclusion,
ban from holding public offices etc.)

- subsidies for culture creators who promote traditional values

- dekurvisation of media and entertainment industry

... and, of course, huge religious revival (supported and subsidised by the state) would be in order as well.

marriages

Yeah, especially DINKs marriages. Or those with "dog-children" ("psiecko").

I don't know about the Japanese or Koreans but most married Poles (apart from religious groups like Neokatechumenat) have one child; two is already rare in my generation; and it's not about money. My brother-in-law is raking it in, he could raise an orphanage and still be well off - how many kids does he have? One daughter.

I'm telling you - it's the rejection of the Church's teaching, the diabolical sexual revolution, and the culture of hedonism.

It's not marriages. Most of my primary and highschool friends are married and only one of them has two kids.

It's not Boomers either.

It's the decline of religion and mass rejection of the Church's teaching. Also, media, entertainment/advertising industry, the internet, mindless consumerism - all turned 30s-40s into entitled hedonists, escaping from any responsibility or duty. With 20s it's even worse.

If the West+Slavia disappear, we'll have only our own wickedness to blame.

My only consolation is that the number of Roman Catholics is growing (albeit not in the Old World), so the Church will survive.

I can confirm what this guy is saying...

... I used to walk in Spartak Moscow jersey (a gift from a friend) in Gdańsk, Toruń and Poznań with zero problems or comments from anyone, and in a Вперед, Россия! scarf - the same thing.

Here we have a guy in a "Polska" hoodie in Moscow...

... zero problems.

Take aways politics and Poles and Russians will get along just fine.

For such things permission is asked - and if not granted - it is not done.

Don't be so ridiculous. Pope is the Vicar of Christ on earth. He doesn't need anybody's permission to consecrate things.

hard to see you as anything but schismatics

Well, proper consecration of Russia to Immaculate Heart of Mary was done very recently, in March 2022 by Pope Francis (earlier consecrations weren't specific enough), so naturally it will take some time before your eyesight improves, but the mills of God have already started grinding and all that.

Enough for me to read it.

Brilliant.

Imagine how different the world would be if Russia had converted to the One True Religion back in 1612 and joined her forces with Poland - all the earth would bend the knee to our command!

@Novi @Bobko

Please read Marcel De Corte's L'homme contre lui-même and L'intelligence en péril de mort. You are both intelligent and very cultured people, so I don't expect you to read them in French (unless you happen to enjoy that sort of thing)--any translation will do. When you finish you can also flip through Chateaubriand's Génie du christianisme.

When you do that you will understand that Europe (and her bastard children of USA, Canada and Australia) and Russia have to return/convert to Roman Catholicism if they are to avoid eventual moral and civilizational decline (which is already happening). You will also understand that comparing Saudi Arabia to any Catholic country is nonsensical.

It's only Poland that seems determined to be Catholicism Saudi Arabia.

It is a deeply unfair thing to say.

In Poland freedom of religion is protected by law. People can practice any religion they want, including Islam, or they can be secular. Conversion from any religion to any other is legally permitted, and followers of all religions enjoy the same rights and can hold public offices. None of these things can be said of Saudi Arabia where there is no freedom of religion, apostasy from Islam is punished by death and you have sharia legal system enforced by religious police. It is ridiculous to compare Poland and Saudi Arabia in religious terms.

We like our dark ages, thank you

Well said.

Pope Benedict XVI (my personal favourite of the four Popes I've observed during my lifetime) said that the spiritual crisis widespread in the West is the most serious one since the fall of the Roman Empire. If what happens in the West with abortion, euthanasia, gay "marriage", open display of all sorts of sexual deviation etc. is called light, then indeed we prefer to remain in the darkness.

For you, Novichok

I have been telling him that Russia is as much a traditional bastion of Christian values as Italy is a paragon of punctuality and order. ;)

He knows all that and there's nothing new for him in the video. This nonsense for Western half-wits and useful idiots is not why we love Russia.

Life / The Best Things About Poland [65]

considering your support for Tusk?

Have you missed the recent thread in which I said that Tusk should resign, hide somewhere in Kaszuby, and never come back to Polish public life?

As for the western border, it is indeed slightly annoying, especially that apparently some of the third worlders dropped here by the German police were placed in orphanages where they made official complaints about the length of some of the girls' dresses. The audacity! I wonder if there are still some skinheads left in Poland or will the Old Guard have to put on their bomber jackets and heavy boots again.

Worth it?

It is definitely a classic but I'm not sure if I'd recommend it to you. You came to Poland in the early '10s and probabaly don't know much about the socialism in PRL (People's Republic of Poland), so most of Alternatywy 4 humour will most likely be lost on you. If you're not Polish and over 40, you will probably not be able to properly appreciate it.
