Very interesting! Thank you for this valuable addition to this thread, Paulina.


There are hardly any Poles there these day, and it's the wasps' nest - remember. Do we really need this?

Ukrainization of Poland: 2024

Not a photo but graphics today, depicting a socio-political process called "ukrainizacja Polski". Whether it is a real thing/threat remains to be seen. Those interested I refer to the article "Czy czeka nas konflikt etniczny?" in the most recent issue of Do Rzeczy.

'Than' is the word you were looking for.

Be careful what you wish for. Revolution likes to eat her own children. :)

Oh, how I would like to see Britain turning communist! Not very Christian of me but I would. Actually, the entire Western Europe should turn communist for 45 years at least. I bet they would see some difference then.

I'm not so sure. Hitler was never the smartest cookie in the basket and the amount of damage he did was not negligible.


Hmm... we've had so many stupid politicians that we should be the richest country on Earth by now. Unfortunately it doesn't work this way. :-/

Off-Topic / I am a polish communist. [83]


Oh, a lot of bad things happened centuries ago, but we have moved on a little bit since then (unless you mean Islam, but that's no my kind of opiate), haven't we? Communism, on the other hand, is a real threat and still around in many places all over the world.

Off-Topic / I am a polish communist. [83]


Australia, New Zealand, Iran, Turkey and South Africa managed too. Even Poland had a rather strong industry able to produce modern ships, cars, tanks and planes before the advent of communism. So, economic transition doesn't necessarily require a totalitarian government but perhaps in some cases the changes were accelerated by totalitarians.


How about Sayyid Qutb? An interesting case as well. The couple of years he spent in the USA filled him with such disgust for the American culture that it turned him into an islamist extremist!

I hope we moved on a little bit since the times of Ivan and Peter.


Countries all over the world transformed from agrarian to industrial economies, most of them without the use of mass executions, gulags and starvation.


It wouldn't be remotely close to what it is today if their progress wasn't facilitated, or rather made possible, by the idiocy of the modern West.


God save us from all "totalitarians on a mission".

Oh, that's a consolation... I suppose.

Off-Topic / I am a polish communist. [83]


Yes, I suppose in the 22nd or 23rd century people will enjoy being murdered, sent to gulags and starved to death. *rolls eyes*

Off-Topic / I am a polish communist. [83]

Opiate for the masses is better than gulag for the masses. :)

Somehow your beloved communists, who are supposed to defend the working people, always end up using bullets and tanks against working people, mass murdering them (94 million all over the world!), a recurring pattern.

I'll take a bit of religious opiate over being murdered or sent to a gulag any day!

Aaaah, yes, pride - Satan's favourite sin. No wonder a commie sick f*ck wants to wallow in it.

No, I changed my mind - don't ban her, let her stay and suffer the disgust and contempt that she deserves.

Where do you see ZOMO there, Alien? But sure - they went to confession as well. ZOMO, MO, SB, ORMO etc. - they were all recruited from Polish people, and Polish people back then were 95% Catholics. :)

Even the high rank PZPR members sent their children to First Communion (to a far away parish, preferably, if they were very high rank). :)

^^ can someone, please, ban this troll?

Not only is she bragging about being a follower of a sick genocidal ideology but she also spams my photo thread.

Scandalous behaviour.

Ha ha ha - typical :D Yes, yes - we know, it wasn't real communism. Not in Russia, not in China, not in Cambodia, North Korea, Latin America or anywhere else in the world where this sick ideology was implemented.


Not upon seeing perhaps but definitely upon learning about his views.


Clearly.

Now, if you excuse me - I have interacted with you long enough, I have to go vomit.

*goes to the bathroom to vomit violently*

Off-Topic / I am a polish communist. [83]


It's a mistake on the part of your government. Promotion of all genocidal ideologies should be legally restricted.


Both the groups provoke similar reactions in decent people (disgust, contempt, vomit reflex).

Off-Topic / I am a polish communist. [83]


I'll be watching you.


Idon'tgiveaf*ck.


Both are equally sick and vomit-inducing. The difference might lay in the number of victims - paedophiles probably didn't murder 94 million people.

Off-Topic / I am a polish communist. [83]


According to Polish law this sentence is equal to "I am a Polish nazi". Both criminal genocidal ideologies, nazism and communism, are illegal in Poland and promoting them can result in a jail sentence for a sickf*ck doing that.

PolishForums, however, is an American board, so probably paedophilia, communism and nazism can be freely promoted here. If not, this thread should be deleted and the user banned.

It is indeed. It's like with those paper drinking straws that melt in your mouth whilst disposable plastic cups and plastic cup covers are still used. Not to mention plastic bags, plastic boxes and plastic pretty much everything. But the drinking straw must be paper - not because it's ecological, as you have to use 3 of those before you finish your drink, but just to show you that you are a piece of sh*t who has nothing to say, they can decree what they want, and there's nothing you can do about it.

And there's a cherry on top - those paper drinking straws, which are supposed to be used to reduce plastic waste, come in plastic packaging (to avoid contamination because paper is hygroscopic ha ha :D). So the purpose is not ecology but to show you your place, your worth (zero). Green Khmers are ruthless.

Red berets marching: 2024

Military commanders and top politicians looking proudly on the marching "Red Berets" during this year's 15th August military parade. Red (burgundy, to be more exact) berets are worn by airborne and air cavalry, and deservedly earned the reputation of elite forces of Wojsko Polskie. They are often confused with red (scarlet, to be more exact) berets of Military Police units.

Hmm... looking at this photo again, I'm not quite sure if it's airborne or military police marching (probably the latter). Oh, well. *salutes anyway*

Salt of the Earth: 1248

Bochnia salt mine - the oldest one in Poland - opened in 1248, is located about 40km from Cracow and is one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites. Its underground corridors and chambers, as well as the medieval mining machinery are well worth seeing.

Lovely neighbourhood, BB.

It always warms my heart when I see a man celebrating and delighting in the place where he lives. Can't stand all those grouches who think that grass is always greener on the other side. Applause for all local patriots! :)

The post was about the smallest cities in Poland, so it's difficult to find an active synagogue there... BUT... in the 3rd smallest city in Poland (Ciepielów, population 738) there are ruins of an old synagogue...



... working synagogues can be found in larger cities.


Of course we have, but there are very few muslims in Poland so the mosques are usually in big cities (Warsaw, Gdańsk)... BUT... there are beautiful old wooden mosques of Polish Tatars in small villages of Bohoniki and Kruszyniany...

Tiny cities: 2024

Saint Jacob's church in Opatowiec, officially the smallest city in Poland with only 308 inhabitants.

The second smallest city in Poland, Wiślica (population 477), is proud of its beautiful Gothic basilica (Collegiate Basilica of the Birth of the Holiest Virgin Mary).
