News / Referendum to decide about exotic immigrants in Poland [559]


Regaining control... that sounds familiar... Tusk wants Polexit? I'm confused, what does he actually stand for other than completely contradicting himself every two minutes?

Yeah those guys scare me to death as well to be fair! The US is in a tough spot for sure so I can understand the hate for Pope Francis with his comments about bridges not walls in this context.

That image made me laugh, can you imagine Pope Francis helping to build the wall...'we've got to keep these people out!' More bricks!! Quickly!! I don't care if they've got children with them!!

Oh dear... the threshold required for getting us to believe something these days is worryingly low.

Haha yeah that's a very strong undercurrent in YT videos, and I can see where it comes from but remember YT does not equal reality. It offers a highly skewed view of reality, often amplifying the most uncharitable interpretations of reality that is possible because it is this that gets your views. Go to the original sources to make your mind up about Pope Francis, don't rely on third party information from clickbait merchants on YT.

But as a side note, what a photo! Look at that charm from Vladimir. Poor Merkel and DT didn't stand a chance.

I'm fairly sure that his words enraged Putin and his supporters more than anybody else.

He was standing in front of a massive gold statue of Genghis Khan at the time and his actual words were praising Mongolia's religious freedom dating back to the times of Genghis Khan, so in other words a long time. So it's very easy to take the most uncharitable interpretation of his words. But ultimately the people of Mongolia clearly loved his visit and that's all that matters. So it's another success story for the great Pope Francis.

Hmmm...ok, so there is more to this than meets the wiki page... has them down as hard eurosceptic.

Because Konfa hate the EU evem more than PiS so would possibly unite with PiS to keep the EU out. A PiS-Konfa coalition... pawian would be in dreamland.

News / Hołownia - a rising star in Polish politics? [94]


The man has no honour, a skillful politician? You could perhaps argue this, but honour he has none. He has been sent to kneecap Warsaw on behalf of Brussels. This is why he has nothing to say regarding Poland, as far as he is concerned it shouldn't even exist.

PiS wouldn't be able to come up with anything crazier than what they say anyway, so there is no need.

No, I'm fairly sure they won't actually, the forces against them are just too strong as the EU silence on this deep fake business proves.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]


Yes this is the normal practice, though it seems it has been taken a step further by Civic Platform, and they have taken first tentative steps to legitimizing the use of deep fakes in Polish politics! Thank you for this wonderful step DT, may you reap what you sow...


I'm sure you do pawian..

It's a step in a very bad direction and you know it. There is a difference between a private mail and reading it out loud, the latter has a far greater impact which is why they did what they did, how did they get access to the PMs mails anyway?

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

Just read an article that claims that DT's party admitted putting out an ad which included a deep fake voiceover of the PM Mateusz Morawiecki. Yet this is not reported on at all??

europeanconservative.com/articles/news/poland-eu-silent-on-liberal-opposition-using-deep-fake-technology/

''So-called 'deep fakes' are a major concern for European lawmakers with fears that elections in the near future may be hijacked by sinister outside forces or authoritarian regimes. Despite this, the use of AI technology by Civic Platform to fake a political rival's voice does not seem to perturb the EU establishment or NGO sector who have not condemned the fabrication of the PM's voice.''

Ok so most charitable interpretation... the Pope was making inroads to better relations with Russian Orthodox Church before the war and he hasnt given up hope, he believes that by addressing young Russian Christians with a message of unity, hope and forgiveness, the power of the Russia Orthodox Church can rise up and oust Putin and bring the war to an end.

Least charitable interpretation.... he's a South American communist siding with his commie mates Putin and Kirill against Poland and Ukraine to bring about a new world order...

I think its closer to the former, the internet will disagree.

It a deeply shocking situation that deserves an outcry, the fact that they felt that it would be ok to send an email to parents is the true story here.

Two of the most Godless organizations ever to walk the face of the Earth, posts like this are really not helping the cause!

So we have a situation in Germany with some paedophiles who are in authority at a Kindergarten feel emboldened enough to send an email to parents asking for permission to subject pre-school children to sexual activity and jon357 and Paulina are more concerned that it is posted in the wrong thread!

Alarm bells are ringing...

Travel / Being Transgender and visiting Wroclaw [467]


Oh no, I was hoping it was total bs, this is deeply disturbing, the one positive to take from it is the intense public backlash from the public, but the quotes in that article, it's basically open, unashamed paedophilia.

This really needs a strong response from the German government please!

Yeah it's mainly ok, a few rainbow flags floating about though so be careful, if ever in doubt just take refuge in the nearest church.

Ah ok that explains it then.

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]

we're talking about shootings/killings now, the definition of such is fairly black and white, my point was with that quote was that previously you wouldn't have to say such a thing, it goes without saying, the fact they feel they have to say it now shows that they are aware of tensions out there for whatever reason and are worried about inflaming them.

Life / Racism in Poland - the future [558]


The authors are just trying to offer some perspective here, as I'm sure they are well aware of rising tensions and don't want to further fuel them with the findings of the report. The fact that they have to stoop to these lengths however is a bit concerning.
