News / Was Charlie Kirk popular in Poland? [573]

Rich kid who's never had to work?

That's many of the politicians over there.

Who wants government run grocery stores (they worked so well in places like Poland...

Then run them properly. Or set up a coop with loans to run them.

free buses

Yes please.

junkie shoot up spots and homeless camps on wheels)?

I doubt a small fare or not would make a difference to that.

Not after that Trump supporter assassinated Melissa Hortman and her husband.

And all of the others over the years.

Most killers are rightwingnuts.
Zohran

The best person for the job? Who knows, however extreme politics like the MAGATs provokes an extreme reaction at the polls.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [1183]

But in the event of the cables being cut, we can have a concelebrated High Mass involving all the Bishops

A Novena works well against the r*SSians.

In England though, there are more Protestants and either a Methodist Tea with all those bloody sandwiches or the C of E's National Pilgrimage ("Our Lady's house at Walsingham, we hail thee and farewell"). will have to do.

A country in need of heroes
Is indeed a country in need

And of course, over there, they're following Brecht's other recommendation. Since the people don't like their govrnment, their government is changing the people.

So much drama over the passing of someone who after all was only a youth youtuber.

look at Brexit. Fugazi

In the end it made little difference. Very few positives or negatives.

There are plenty of misguided folks out there who worship Charlie much
as millions of misguided Germans worshipped Adolf

Their 'movement' needed a martyr

Unhealthy and most of those obsessing about that character knew very little or nothing about him before he became yet another gun statistic.

Food / Poland-Tea or coffee land? [165]

I wonder why that would be? The EU regulations?

Commodity traders buying it all up years in advance and betting on future prices. Every time an investor speculates/gambles, money comes out and has to be paid in the end.

That and some bad weather in South America and supply chain issues globally.

Most non-Chinese imports will be getting dearer.

You think homosexuality should be illegal?

Memories of the prison showers.

dressing up on a Saturday night can be a perfectly fun way for a senior to let their hair down

J Edgar Hoover certainly used to. Renata does it in the daytime however, when her wife is out.

maintain European societies

Maintaining societies is the duty of us all.

End of womens' rights, gay rights, secular education, return of slavery

Has this happened?

Boo hoo hoo. If they want to trash their own economy, nobody will stop them.

More for everyone else, including Poland.

Just deluded.

Prices have risen and will continue to rise and they'll still have a massive trade deficit.

And manufacturing will not return there.

Only if we let it.

Maf, the numbers are tiny compared to what they will be in a few decades' time.

promoting leftist propaganda

So saying
that Poland is a Catholic country where people are morally obliged to feed the hungry and clothe the naked

Is according to you:
promoting leftist propaganda

Go and take a cold shower.

the man who painted himself as the champion of the small guy

And now, having cheered the tariffs, they're whining about the price rises that were always going to come.

It's as if there's a blind spot about corporatism and fascism being near identical.

Well I'm not a catholic (or christian) so I don't feel any moral obligation

And you aren't in Kętrzyn either, which is where the OP was asking for advice about.

keep asking migration supporters

Ther are very few of those (I'm not even sure I know any, except maybe a lady in London who is a slightly weird spinster doctor) though there are a lot of people who realise that this is a growing issue that will only increase and actually feel quite stressed when people keep moaning about it from armchairs while not actually doing anything.

Like migration or not, feeding and clothing someone is a basic.

most arivals in Europe aren't really qualified for.... anything.

In the two parts of Europe where I have homes, Mazowsze and Yorkshire, the foreign born population are more likely to be working and paying taxes than the non-foreign born population.

What about just cases where that's feasible?

What about cutting the poorest some slack and going after the people making more money from workers wages than the workers themselves?

The OP only wanted food and clothes, and given that Poland is a Catholic country where people are morally obliged to feed the hungry and clothe the naked, his request for alms is not an unreasonable one.

as a welfare leech....

Or a productive worker.

Should he be held responsible for his poor judgement

If we started to hold everyone responsible for poor judgement, there wouldn't be enough atoms in the universe to build the necessary prisons with.

Why 'hopefully'

You'd see him starve?

Holding political views about borders does not need to equate to cruelty and lack of empathy for those involved.

Guilty of poor judgement

Like half the world, not that "guilty" is a suitable word.
