History / Life in communist Poland - personal relations [503]
Opportunism, like hypocrisy and racism, is a basic tool of survival...One of the simplest things to assure positive results is not being a hero when there is no upside.
After my experience in "communist" Poland and as a father and a grandpa in "free and democratic America", I can honestly say that "communist" Poland was a better place to grow up in.
To make this story short...In Poland, fathers and sons were on the same side and hated the system. We were not afraid to discuss politics.
The free and democratic US has now become the USSR 2.0 - albeit its lighter version - where families are irreversibly split - parents on one side and their teen kids on the other. When the parents are from Eastern Europe, the split is beyond repair.
Where the commies failed, the woke social justice warriors succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. To the average teenager here, "America" is racist and whites are evil. I actually heard it today at a family get-together.
In "communist" Poland, our teachers, and the ruling commies would never put down the country or tell us that it was evil for any reason.
