Polonia / What do Poles think of how they are treated in Germany, in comparison to the Muslim migrants [181]

Considering what Germany went through, directly after the war and well into the late '70's following the
notorious Auschwitz Trials of the Camp guards, functionaries etc. small wonder the Federal Gov't reacts
to things tainted with Faschism as it does!

Solid point, Tacitus.
I certainly can't, nor would I, argue with your last statement.
Along with Filbinger, the likes of Luebke, Kiesinger, even Karl Karstens,
clearly left a lot to be desired, pointing once again to the deeply divided
nature of post-war German politics!

Adenauer though, while effective as a manager, had numerous blind spots,
not the very least of which was the appointment to various government posts
of former top Nazis, among them of course, Dr. Theodor Oberlaender, above all,
one of the drafters of the Nueremberg Laws, Dr. Hans Globke!

His defense of course, was that as most of those competent to lead Germany had been killed
during the war, any able-minded, experienced professional, needed to be called in
to serve in the West German government, no matter what.

As I recall reading as well as having spoken with historians of the period, e.g. the late Andreas
Hillgruber, Adenauer typically would brook no opposition to his policies.

However, Jews were immensely fond of Adenauer, looking at him as a sort of German
FDR, who met with Ben Gurion when no other German leader would, as well as appointing
the first post-war German ambassador to Israel, Dr. Rolf Pauls.

A deeply flawed, but highly clever man, Konrad Adenauer.

Your first sentence should read more clearly, "I am offering Poland a low price, allowing everyone to make [lots of] money..."
The rest of your paragraph suggests considerable interference from your native language, possibly Polish, perhaps German??

Poland will obviously be affected by her more economically powerful neighbor
to the West. While Poland depends on Germany, Germany too is dependent
on Poland as the buffer zone between the West and Moscow!

If Poland becomes entangled in Germany's socio-political environment, Putin
might well see this as weakness, and, as with any bully (Trump included!!),
could make current or future negotiations with the Kremlin difficult, if not downright
impossible.

Charlie Kirk was a convinced Neocon, but also known for racist, disparaging remarks about,
among others, George Floyd!

Albeit Floyd might not have been a model citizen, he was nonetheless entitled to the same
respect as any other citizen, white or black.

If this seems drearily old-fashioned, lefty, and somehow out of touch with life during the Trump
anti-Revolution, then I suppose humanity too is out of date.

Hitler as well declared war on law without order, on equality and all the other verities your kind
loves to sneer at.

Essentially you and other Trumpers are nothing more than anti-Christian.

@Rich,
For better or worse, the US thrives on immigration, however, LEGAL immigration.
You have to face facts that the AfD is simply Nazism rearing its ugly head....once again.
You'd think the Germans would have learned by this point, although thankfully, the AfD
is only a minority, albeit a vocal minority.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]

@Rich,
Clearly trolling again, are we. Anyway, perhaps I/we can drum some sense into your thick skull!
The AfD wants to cancel ALL Holocaust education from German school curricula, ideally
deport all non-white, Third World migrants, even second or third generation Turkish-Germans
and others, the more extreme among the Alternative founders (including the late Alexander Gauland,
a Le Pen supporter) desire a "return" of erstwhile German territory seized by neighboring Poland and
Czech Republic following Germany's defeat in WWII.

Each mighty convinciing reasons, I'd say. You'd probably disagree, only to be the eternal contrarian.
Even Trump only wishes to deport known criminals or drug dealers. Hoecke, Weidel, Gideon et al
consider ANY non-ethnic Germans to be a threat to Germany society, criminal background or not
and herein lies the true horror.

An intriguing hypothesis, however as with the once posited theory of Atlantis, it

One report from the period records an incident that not long after Columbus landed on Hispaniola,
his Basque mate greeted some of the natives they encountered in his native language and it is
claimed the natives understood him!

As with many a doubtless apocryphal tale, plenty of good stories have been ruined by oververification.

Americans from the '40's and earlier spoke an English closer in certain ways to
British English.

My parents were rather older when I was born.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]

You're missing the point here, Rich!

Native Americans are the only true Americans,
as all others were by definition immigrants to this country.
After all, when everyone from Columbus to Miles Standish
first landed on our shores, it was the aboriginal inhabitants of
the American mainland who were there to greet them.

Europe as well as much of Asia, e.g China or Japan, have a far different
history, that of a far more historically homogeneous ethnicity than
the US.

"Hyphen-free" would then mean anyone of Native American extraction,
since the so-called "Indians" arrived on this continent before anybody else....
including the Vikings, Celts or any white Europeans!!

A "black widow" is indeed a variety of poisonous spider.

@Rich,
"Have you a better one?" is British English!
We Yanks tend to use the modal auxilliary "Do + pronoun",
where as the Brits mostly forego this usage:

"Have you some change?" vs. "Do you have some change?"
etc.

Both are technically correct. Cf. German from Germany vs. Austrian or Swiss High German. etc.
