News / Presidential elections 2025 - the race has commenced!!! [665]

Nawrocki never broke that trust

Are you serious? He was supposed to take care of the guy and he basically abandoned him, to the point that a local social worker had to bring him food and pay for the heating in the apartment with her own money...

money.pl/gospodarka/opiekunka-pana-jerzego-zabrala-glos-ws-nawrockiego-nie-zrobil-dla-niego-nic-7153752317836064a.html

To było straszne. Pamiętam, jak w zimie pan Jerzy siedział w mieszkaniu po ciemku, zziębnięty, w kurtce. Nie miał pieniędzy, żeby zapłacić za prąd, a w tym mieszkaniu wszystko było elektryczne, włącznie z ogrzewaniem. Żeby nie marzł w zimie, płaciłam za prąd z moich własnych pieniędzy - mówi. Bez przydziału z MOPR i bez dokonywanych przeze mnie zakupów nie miałby jedzenia.

I don't know who will take care of you in your old age, Gumishu, but I hope it won't be Nawrocki or you're f*cked hahaha :D

I understand you count yourself among the "polite society" here in Poland

Being polite has nothing to do with not swearing, don't be such a f*cking petit bourgeois. *rolls eyes*

he is an aristocrat from the locked-down PGR

*yaaaaawn*

I said it a million times - I am a proud peasant (hence I vote for PSL) who only happens to be living in a city these days. :)
One day, when I don't have to work my arse off anymore, I will definitely go back to the countryside.

Gerhard Fritz Kurt Schröder

He wasn't Germany's president but a chancellor. There were many crooks among prime ministers - it's sort of implied in the job itself - but president is the highest representative office, we have to choose the lesser evil or the lesser embarassment, and Nawrocki would be embarrassment incarnate as the president.

Are you going to vote for Trzaskowski?

With a certain degree of disgust, yes. I would definitely prefer Sikorski but Tusk decided that Trzaskowski will be easier to control, so here we are.

As usual, we're voting for the lesser of two evils and I simply cannot imagine a creature like Nawrocki becoming the President of Poland. It would be a slap in the face of all the Poles who fought and died for our country... an abomination. What's truly sad is that PiS weren't able to come up with any better candidate among them. Sad and scary.

you are a fake, not Catholic.

Sure, f*ck you too Iron.

I used to have a problem with it but I don't any more

Hmm... I suppose we have such a heavy influx of margines społeczny and patologia into politics (all sides) these days that we have to lower our standards a bit.

Trzaskowski has to get his vote out

It will be a huge embarassment otherwise. Wałęsa was an embarassment enough but at least he was a worker whilst Nawrocki hasn't had a single day of honest work in his life - always a politically appointed cosy office. When he was 26 he was already at Gdańsk branch of IPN, and in 2013 (at the age of 30) he became a chief of its regional public education bureau (Oddziałowe Biuro Edukacji Publicznej).

Those who will vote will support Nawrocki.

Catholic voters? Catholic voters will support a guy who travelled abroad for 800k pln of tax payers' money with his female co-workers but takes his wife for a provincial Poland tour in his presidential campaign? For a guy who "rozwijał stosunki międzynarodowe" (lol!) in a state-owned apartment that he still hasn't paid for using? Catholics will vote for a guy who tried to scam an alcohol addicted pensioner out of his apartment? For a guy who cannot last an hour and a half without taking strange substances (in front of cameras)?

What sort of Catholics would that be??? 0_0

I don't think any European nation has ever chosen a pimp, tattooed thug, loan shark, swindler and a drug addict (all in one person) to be their president, and I hope Poles won't either. Keep your fingers crossed on Sunday, guys, and let's hope that retards willing to vote for him are still in minority.

Jesli Polska ma prawo zbudowac Amerykanska baze, Rosja ma takie samo prawo zeby zniszczyc jakikolwiek pomnik w ich kraju.

Pomnik zamordowanych polskich więźniów w Miednoje w Rosji został zdewastowany (...) Szef dyplomacji przekazał, że była to decyzja lokalnej prokuratury, czyli "na polecenie państwa rosyjskiego".

polskieradio24.pl/artykul/3526816,rosjanie-zdewastowali-pomnik-polskich-ofiar-w-miednoje-sikorski-reaguje

Przypomnę też, że w Polsce na cmentarzach tolerujemy symbole państwa sowieckiego, tolerujemy czerwone gwiazdy, a tu zdjęto symbole państwa polskiego na polskim cmentarzu wojskowym.

No to co, teraz w odwecie zdejmujemy czerwone gwiazdy z radzieckich cmentarzy wojennych, następuje dyplomatyczna eskalacja, zamykamy konsulat w Gdańsku (ostatni rosyjski w Polsce), potem ambasadę i można budować Linię Maginota wzdłuż całej wschodniej granicy. Robimy Festung Polen, kurwa.

Kto by pomyślał, że 80 lat po tym jak wspólnie z Rosjanami zdobywaliśmy Berlin będzie taka maksymalna chujnia we wzajemnych stosunkach. Przepraszam za słówka, ale się wkurwiłem. :(

News / R. Trzaskowski, current mayor of Warsaw, future President of Poland [354]

KO should have chosen Sikorski as their presidential candidate. Trzaskowski has a huge negative electorate, he already lost to Duda 5 years ago and it looks like he's going to lose this time too. Unless Menzen wants to weaken PiS and will support T. in the second round, but it's rather unlikely.

The grenade launcher accident was a very positive occurrence: nobody was hurt in the event, local builders earned some money renovating the building, and the entire Poland had a good laugh for a week or so (two weeks on meme pages).

WTF? Who hacked Iron's account? Piłsudski has always been the symbol of Polish independence. FFS - our Independence Day is celebrated on the day that commemorates transferring military and political authority to him, recognizing him as Commander-in-Chief!

What else? Let's see...

1. Architect of the Idea of Armed Struggle for Independence

As early as the beginning of the 20th century, Piłsudski believed that Poland could regain independence through military action, especially by exploiting the conflict between the partitioning powers. He founded several paramilitary organizations, including:

Union of Active Struggle (1908)

Riflemen's Association (from 1910)

Polish Legions (1914)

The Polish Legions, which he commanded during World War I, became a symbol of the fight for independence-primarily against Russia, which Piłsudski viewed as the main enemy of Polish sovereignty.

2. Oath Crisis and Imprisonment

In 1917, Piłsudski refused to swear loyalty to the German Kaiser. This led to the Oath Crisis, after which he was arrested and imprisoned by the Germans in the Magdeburg Fortress. His refusal turned him into a national hero and a symbol of the uncompromising struggle for an independent and sovereign Poland-not one subordinated to any of the occupying powers.

3. Assuming Power on November 11, 1918

After his release from prison on November 10, 1918, Piłsudski returned to Warsaw. The next day, the Regency Council transferred military and political authority to him, recognizing him as Commander-in-Chief. This date-November 11-is now celebrated as Poland's Independence Day.

4. Building the State and the Army

Following the restoration of independence, Piłsudski played a decisive role in organizing the structures of the newly reestablished Polish state and creating the Polish Army,
defending the borders of the Second Polish Republic-especially during the Polish-Soviet War of 1920, when his strategic counteroffensive from the Wieprz River led to victory in the Battle of Warsaw.

5. Symbol of Independence

Thanks to his independent stance, military initiative, and leadership, Piłsudski became a symbol of a free Poland. Even his political opponents acknowledged his essential contribution to the restoration of independence.

Józef Piłsudski was the chief architect of Poland's independence in 1918. Through his strategy, courage, and political foresight, Poland regained its freedom after 123 years of foreign rule. He was not only a military leader but also a statesman with a clear vision for a sovereign Polish nation

Yes, you will be if you convert to the One-and-Only, Holy and Apostolic, Roman Catholic Church.

Do you have anything to say about Kant?

Danke, my son, for noticing the mistake. Of course, the first one is Kant (or should we rather say C*nt?).

Kant - critique of pure reason: limits knowledge to phenomena, excluding metaphysical knowledge of God and the soul, undermining natural theology. The ethics of moral autonomy places the human will and reason as the ultimate moral authority rather than divine law and grace. The exaltation of human reason apart from divine revelation and grace leads to moral subjectivism and undermines the authority of the Church and Scripture.

Verdict: the stake.
Torq

Schopenhauer, Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Marx

Let's see...

Schopenhauer - critique of pure reason: limits knowledge to phenomena, excluding metaphysical knowledge of God and the soul, undermining natural theology. The ethics of moral autonomy places the human will and reason as the ultimate moral authority rather than divine law and grace. The exaltation of human reason apart from divine revelation and grace leads to moral subjectivism and undermines the authority of the Church and Scripture.

Verdict:

1

Hegel

Hegel's idea of God as the unfolding of Spirit in history undermines the unchanging, personal God of Catholic doctrine. Suggests that truth evolves over time (totally retarded when we think about extratemporal eternity). Reduces theology to speculative philosophy, blurs Creator-creation distinction, and replaces divine revelation with dialectical reason.

Verdict:

1

Schopenhauer

Life is fundamentally suffering, and the highest goal is the denial of the will-a view contrary to the Catholic affirmation of creation and the redemptive value of suffering. His metaphysical "will" dominates human action, conflicting with Catholic teaching on moral responsibility. Denies the goodness of creation and the meaningfulness of human life and freedom, opposing the Catholic view of hope, providence, and salvation.

Verdict:

1

Nietzsche

Nietzsche's rejection of God aims to overthrow the Christian moral order. Promotes a radically self-assertive ethic contrary to humility, charity, and obedience. His glorification of strength, contempt for compassion, and attack on Christian virtues align with the "pride of Lucifer" and undermine natural law and divine revelation.

Verdict:

1

Heidegger

Heidegger's philosophy often excludes or relativizes the personal, revealed God. Emphasizes human existence in a way that often lacks reference to sin, grace, or salvation.His existentialism abstracts Being from God, making his thought spiritually sterile or ambiguous from a Catholic standpoint.

Verdict

Hmm... the stake might be a bit too harsh. Let's say: official reproach, stern warning, a little bit of torture and some time in the dungeon to reflect on his mistakes.

Marx

Religion is the "opium of the people", class struggle as the engine of progress negates Christian teaching on solidarity, charity, and the intrinsic dignity of each person, Marxist ideology opposes the Church's teaching on the soul, God, private property, and the family, promoting atheism and often leading to persecution of religion.

Verdict

2

Do you have any other heretics for me?

a brief stain in Germany's otherwise grand history

A rather smart phrase!

Jack the Ripper murders took place over a period of just under three months, from August 31 to November 9, 1888 -- so I suppose we could say those murders were a brief stain in Jack's otherwise pretty normal life. ;)

So why would they agree with another monument that puts the spotlight on another crime?

Hmm... maybe because they would rather have good relations with the country who will be their shield from Russia if the sh*t ever hits the fan?

those plans will never materialize if the AfD had anything to say

Why? Don't they believe there were 3 million ethnic Polish victims of nazism? Or is it because they consider Jews more worthy of commemoration? Are they Zionists?
