Nope. Try again. A country of 38 million should feel guilty about the actions of a few hundred? Try again. Just imagine Israelis answering every Palestinian claim for reparations.....

And how many generations are claims going to continue? At this point I'm "if you want to come to Poland and live there you might have a claim otherwise, enjoy life where you are" There is not a single reason for modern Poland to feel any kind of collective guilt about WWII.

Steve Sailer has written on occasion about how incompetent Jewish conmen seem to be able to temporarily rise to dizzying heights before the roof caves in on their fecklessness... like Efraim Diveroli a Miami hustler who somehow got a $300 million deal from the Pentagon to supply the Afghan army with weapons and tried to use obsolete Chinese ammo to do so...

The few seconds I was able to watch Daniels I kept getting a heavy Diveroli vibe... in over his head and hoping those on the various sides won't make him for the empty shirt he is.

Where does he live? I can't imagine anyone taking part in any kind of English speaking culture and not understanding your intent.... it speaks to a profound failure to integrate at any meaningful level.

It is very Polish, when someone points out something wrong a person did but instead of apologizing that person goes on the offensive...

He speaks no Polish (in the few interviews I was able to find on youtube) and everything about him screams 'fake' and 'conman'


All too true about the government


they can't stand the idea of Poles not feeling guilty? plus... Netanyahu is an Israeli Kaczynski who wants to create a siege mentality among the population - "they all hate you, only I can protect you"

Under PiS the mission of TVP is the same as it was in the PRL, to glorify the government and not mention things going wrong and to strengthen the perception that people who are unhappy with the government are very wrong and/or very evil. People that find that to be an acceptable format for digesting news are announcing they don't care about truth, just their side.

TVN has its faults but is more likely to report on failures as well as successes.

Someone who cares about news (as a way of finding out about the world) uses a variety of difference sources and is critical of all of them.

It's a classic case of projection, accusing others of one's own moral failings.

Like someone with a massive inferiority complex and case of alienation (not feeling truly at home anywhere) seeking to dull the pain by associating himself with a group to which he doesn't really belong in any meaningful way (and to compensate for his marginal status he reconstructs a version of the group in his head where he does belong, more so than many real and distinguished members of the group).

Someone with citizenship (I know several non-ethnic Poles with citizneship) cannot be described as foreigners.... except by blithering idiots who don't know a passport form a hold in the ground.

Do they claim to be Polish in any real sense?

The Polish language lacks any type of convenient term to distinguish ethnic Poles from non-ethnic Polish citizens (Russian and Chinese do have such words) so either the language is defective or Polish nationality is ultimately of the integrative type where citizenship and linguistic affiliation trump ethnic origin, this makes it similar to your own culture - that of the US.

the two categories are mixed (not necessarily a majority but a very significant minority of Poles have some degree of Jewish ancestory (far more than realize they do)

Jewish(ethnic) and Christian are not mutually exclusive categories and neither are Jewish and Polish

The idea that Jewishness refers exclusive to an ethnic group is another straigh-from-Russia idea that goes along with your boy-crush on Putin....

Past a certain point, treading on eggshells to keep them from flying into narcissistic rage is just enabling their hysteria.

I agree with the video that future reparations from Poland are the real cause. If Poland's ill-conceived quest for reparations from Germany ever bears fruit Israelis (and some other Jewish people) are going to be making a bee line to get as big a chunk of it for themselves as possible.

Because Kaczyński and Nethanyahu(sp?) are birds of a feather, xenophobes who want to induce a siege mentality among the populace.


They never say that openly do they? they just can't stand the idea of someone, anyone, anywhere not feeling personally guilty about the holocaust. Poland doesn't feel guilty about (despite the participation of some Poles) and that enrages them.

I once worked in the same office as an Edyta and the only zdrobnienie I ever heard for her was Edytka

have you ever heard anyone use Edytuś? I see it in a list of possible dimunitives but.... weird.

very true, but it has its uses (assuming one knows how to use it) if Edytuś were in common use I'd expect it to show up in common sentence frames... I'm still looking and not finding....

Except there was no real Polish state at the time (since the nazis and soviets had carved it up between them). And the Soviets (true to form) kept a big chunk of pre-war Poland for themselves afterward.

I'm not in favor of the law in question but 'Polish death camps' is intellectually lazy by people who don't (and/or don't want to) understand the situation at the time.

Or even if just most of them did? Or a signifcant minority? Where's the line between individuals and the narod? How on earth do they expect to be able to enforce this against non-Polish-citizens who aren't in Poland?

Laws that are meant to have symbolic value (like this one) seldom work out or bring positive results in the real world.

This smells like a distraction (so that people wouldn't notice the terrible election 'reform') or other terrible PiS ideas waiting in the wings....

One problem is that there is no single definition of nation in English (in modern US usage it's most often used to mean 'country' and "a French national" means someone with French citizenship rather than someone who is ethnically French.

Naród is more like ethnic group+, that is a cultural collective (though back in the 90s gazeta wyborcza did a series on small ethnic groups which it referred to as 'narody')

Who knows what it can mean in other languages?

Again the whole thing is meant to foster an 'us vs them' attitude in the population because that's the only mindset that JK understands.
