They are still culturally neither. The Sorb I recently met insisted that she was Sorbian first and foremost. She viewed Poles as fellow Slavs, just as she viewed the Czech or Slovaks. But she would have rejected the idea of being Polish.

I am fairly certain that, given his past posts, he wholly agreed to what Hitler did to gay people as well.


Polands problem is not the imaginary invasion by foreigners, but rather losing so many of its' people to foreign countries.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]


Nonsense, any thinking person knows Hitler wasn't wrong with every decision he made, at least in the way it paid off for himself, or he would not have risen from a failed artist to (briefly) the most powerful man in Europe. Hitler was however completely wrong in his world outlook and the trajectory he put Germany on could only lead to disaster.

If you claimed that he "loved" Germany, you would probably be seen as either completely deluded or clueless since it is very clear that Hitler at best "loved" his vision of Germany and not the existing one. Otherwise he wouldn't have destroyed so much even when everything went his way, and later wouldn't have tried to destroy it when he failed.

At least he refrains from writing truly mentally unhinged crap like he did before he got banned.

There are reasons to be critical of Sweden, especially because of its callousness during the Covid pandemie, but they are doing very well on most issues.

@Novichok

It is always impressive with how much opinion and how little knowledge you argue. You dont have any idea on how parties in Sweden have been arguing about asylum laws in the last decade. You would also know that statements like "80% are military-age men" simply do not reflect reality. In Germany male refugees made up only 60%, with men aged 18-40 making up less than 40% of all arrivals. Meanwhile 30% of all applicants are below the age of 4. Not exactly how you envision it, right?

Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [236]

The Russians never voted for the Soviets, the latter came to power via a coup. Nor did a majority of Germans vote for the NSDAP in free elections who certainly had no death camps in their election program. Nor were there elections in either country in 1936. You seem to lack even the simplest of historical education.

Sweden is famous for its' liberal asylum laws, and the parties that champions them continue to be reelected. Thus is seems that the people of Sweden agree with the current situation. Which is not surprising, since as pointed out to you, Sweden is a safe country with one of the highest standards of living in the world.

Polonia / Let's talk about Sweden and other Scandinavian countries [236]


"Shadow" minister of justice, you should read up what that means. Violence by migrants is always a good topic for election campaigns, no matter how dire the situation truly is, and as pointed out, Sweden is not doing worse than most European countries.


I don't doubt that there are places in Sweden that are problematic, but you have such places in every country without them being indicative of the entire country. As pointed out, Sweden is overall a safe place for women which anyone who actually has been to Sweden could verify.

This article explains the situation Sweden and why Richs' depiction of it as a rape capital is completely ridiculous.

google.com/amp/s/thelocal.se/20201006/how-do-swedens-rape-statistics-compare-to-europe/%3famp

In short, using the rape definition of other countries, the number or rapes reported in Sweden is thr European average.

Crime studies have also found no significant link between the arrival of refugees and the increase of rape reports.

Love / She's muslim and I am christian, will it ever work? Has anyone had similar experiences [63]

A question I would ask myself is how big your differences really are and how they affect your daily life. Because what you have written here sounds mostly like stereotypes she may have, which you might also find if you marry another foreign woman.

Love / She's muslim and I am christian, will it ever work? Has anyone had similar experiences [63]


That does sound like a fair solution.

Love / She's muslim and I am christian, will it ever work? Has anyone had similar experiences [63]

I had a muslim gf for two years and while it did not work out, that was due to reasons unrelated to our religions. What you habe to make sure is to set the expectations accordingly. If you are religious and have no intention to convert, make sure to tell her that and also make it clear that you dont want to be bothered by her family about this. Make sure that you don't have any secret resentments. Are you fine with not marrying in a church, or is this something you deeply regret? Because that is something that might come up later during an argument.

As for your "friends", I wouldnt worry too much about them especially if they have never met her.

Don't we have that already? Poland just became Germany's 5th biggest trading partner, and in return Germany has become the biggest trading partner of all the East European countries.

News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]

From pretty much any historical book about Stalingrad.

Wikipedia gives the following numbers.


en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_prisoners_of_war_in_the_Soviet_Union

According to this, 94,5% of German PoWs who were captured in Stalingrad died in captivity.

News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]


That is a good joke. Roughly 95% of the German prisoners taken in Stalingrad died, and from the approx. 3.3m German prisoners taken overall, only 2.2. returned. Now this is partly because many of them were already in bad condition, and the Soviets were starving themselves, thus making it understandable why so many died, but let us not make the Soviets better than they really were.

You are right with Brandt, in his case it helps that he belonged to the resistance against the Nazi, that eased possible suspiscions against him. Kohl however was rather dull in public appearances. The press made often fun of his borish behaviour, comparing him unfavourably to his predecessor Schmidt, who knew how to present himself as a true intellectual. Kohl was however very charming in personal meetings and managed to woo pretty much every foreign politician he met, which came in handy 1989/90.

The point is, being charismatic is not necessary for becoming chancellor in Germany. Germans do appreciate charisma in foreign leaders, otherwise JFK and Obama would not have been as popular as they are/were.

News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]

Charisma is something most Germans do not value in their leaders any more for certain reasons.

What matters is that he is the prime minster of Germany's largest state which he has so far guided reasonably succesful through the pandemic.

Quite the contrary, he has done a lot for the integration of the Turkish community in the NRW.

He has the making of a decent chancellor, though he will have giant shoes to fill.

Indeed, something that is often lost in the debate is how closely London and Berlin usually worked together on European policies, especially those that concerned the economy. The British free market approach is much more comfortable to the German mind-set than the French "Big state companies are the best" viewpoint.

Indeed. Whenever I visit Dresden, I can't help but feel a tinge of sadness, because no matter how good it looks now, it will never be as it once was.
