History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

I do not take a German stance (what ever that means) I am merely pointing out the flaws of PiS government.
I rather have PiS in government then PO only cause they want what's best for Poland. The anti-democratic nature of those on the left of PiS scare me a lot. Not to mention corruption.

Still, Germany isn't a power that needs to be contended with to such degree like the Russian Federation. For now Poland needs to rebuild as much as possible and grow economically, Poland's "Ace of spades" is it's growing economy vs all odds.

It's a card nobody can simply ignore or shrug off. Germany is currently riding that horse as much as possible. And I think Poland should use the opportunity to get anything it can out of good relations with any German government.

Just like in the past, growth trade and peaceful relations should be the aim of every Polish government for it's western border. One should just not be naive about it

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

I was thinking of the older generation in general, with lower demographics the politicians will have to listen to the oldest generation as times go by as they are the biggest electorate. PiS will have to be a bit anti-German or keeping up such a narrative to have people from the right voting for them.

Which is sad as most of Polish-German history is based on trade and peace (mind you as in HRE, German states. Not thinking particularly about Teutonic Order or Prussia/Prussian Germany).

Germany today, without having external threats from her neighbors can turn pasifisct and trade oriented. Which is why good relations with Germany is a good idea for Poland.

History / History of two Neighbors: Poland - Germany Interrelations [283]

Nowadays relationship between Germany and Poland has a lot of baggage from ww2. But also some positive side from times of solidarity and post-communism NATO/EU Co-operation.

I think the possibility of Good relations is quite high. Seeing as the German (Prussian) nobility is gone (meaning have no political power) and German militarism is not a part of German politics nowadays I can see a Good future. If you study the Polish-German border it was far more stable then borders of eastern Poland before the partitions. Say what you want about stereotypes, people like to trade and earn money.

History / Occupation of Eastern Poland in 1939 [98]

USSR had the option of supplying weapons to the Polish armed forces. German forces were really strained on ammonution. Leaving eastern Poland secure would create a long period of fights with the Germans, prolonging any attack on USSR. Just as it had proxy wars in the Cold War, it could had happened in 1939. The conflict of 1920 made that pretty impossible tho.

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

@NoToForeigners

To talk in racial categories or think that there are different humans based on skin colour and wanting to base your politics/policies on it is indeed rascist. No tantrums will change that.

@Sylvio
Nowadays it's very emotional and used in any discussion to silence opponents. No matter what they think it Really means

Language / IS "MURZYN" word RACIST? [686]

The word «Murzyn» is derived from "Moors" who were famous black skinned muslims.

I guess an Afro-American could get pretty upset being called a black skinned Jihadist

Could we please stay on topic? If you want to chickchat about immigration then please let us reflect over which political parties are for/against immigration in Poland and to what degree. Or you can you all just talk about nonsense?

News / Political life of Poland [135]

So PO&PiS
Don't have any connections to solidarity what so ever? Sosialistic think is quite relevant with connections to labour unions. PO has openly said to be social-democrats copycatting scandinavia. PiS is open for governmental programmes, it seems both of them see the Polish state as the solution to all the ills and problems in Poland, be it a nation-state or multi-kult-state.

I think building up the economy and creating more jobs, not only low wage jobs should be an priority. (Not governmental jobs).

Lowering taxes should be a priority in Poland in my opinion and boosting small businesses with less regulations and a better attitude towards them.

Thank you for asking. I was wondering more about peoples opinion as I don't live in Poland currently and need an update on the politics.

PSL (I don't know honestly, farmers Party?)
PO (social-democrats disguised as a Liberal party ex-solidarity)
Nowoczesna (PO v.2.0)
Kukiz15 (populist party concentrated around Kukiz?)
PiS (Social-conservatives with a patriotic angle ex-solidarity)
SLD (socialists/Social-democrats/former communists?)
Partia Wolnosc (national-libertarian, capitalist, national-classical liberal? I would have voted for them most likely as their the only capitalist option in Polish politics I can take seriously to some degree)

Antifa (marxist hooligans)
ONR (fascist wannabies)

There you have my opinion

History / Future of Kaliningrad Oblast - is it possible to annex by Poland or will it become an independent country? [146]

@Lyzko
No, it doesn't "must" anything. Entire Prussia and Pomerania was germanized. If the locals don't see any reason to retain that influence I see no reason to stop them. It's not like there are German settlers there waiting to get slaughtered.

Speaking of architectural influence, Kaliningrad would had to be part of EU for it to be preserved. Doesn't seem like the Russian federation has any motives except for it to be a military outpost with bases

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]

Russia needs help not war...
If we got any enemies it's those who abuse us and try to destabilize us...
We shouldn't rely too much on Germany as nobody knows their intentions. After all Poles did call them mute people
I would advocate for Poland to protect Poles from any form of Germanization no matter if it's in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, "U.K", France (From Germanic Franks) or to some extent U.S.A cause it's ain't very Catholic. But out of all the Germanic countries Poland has allways had the most problems with Germany, France, "U.K" and Sweden. So relations with those other Germanic countries is much better to prefer and be careful of those that have harmed us in the past already as they might want to do it again. Diplomatic relations and culture building between friendly states should be an priority while arming the Republic. The most important part is of course to boost the economy by as much private ownership as one can possibly make and allow oneself to have. Otherwise it will run out of money (any plans what so ever).

Until Poland regains her strength, it has to rely on U.S.A and if The Russian Federation continues with threats and has nuclear missiles in "Kaliningrad" then Poland will never feel safe from Russia and will distrust her with everything "she" has. No matter if it's a stick or a carrot

@Dirk diggler

I know of 3 of such "pogroms"
1. was during or right before Polish soviet war when too large groups were not allowed to assemble in public. (Paranoia about communists talking publicly so no large group assemblies were allowed to meet, as there were plenty of Polish Jews in communist parties instead of PPS or ND... Poles were naturally suspicious when a large group of Orthodox Jews assembled and talked without following the law either because of the lack of knowing Polish or not paying attention. Not knowing Polish well enough created suspicion about ones loyalty towards Poland ) Which was a misunderstanding but it worsened relations with the international community ever since cause of American Jews and others who spread it fearing pogroms... Poland isn't Russia... But never mind that

2. Can't remember name but you sure know what I am talking about. Barn German bullets, either German soldiers or local partisans (last time I checked there were very few farmers with machine pistols and that many bullets. So one would have to check a lot more. Also the locals there remember how Jews welcomed Soviet soldiers and were happy that now their "equal" with Poles even tho a Jew saying it lost his shop cause of the red army...

3. Kielce was orchestrated by "Polish" communists if I am not mistaken. One only has to dig a little bit about the workers and their "leaders" agenda. Local militia at that time was also communist.

One should not forget that Poles felt a lot of distaste for any minority in Poland aiding the enemies in 1939 without fighting for an independent Poland

The motto of the Polish revolution was after all
Freedom - Equality - Independence
On a state level - national level
Even tho Poles are very individualistic and consider themselves individuals first and foremost. When needed they band together in crises (either plane crash, injustice, solidarity, war etc) When other "non-Polish" citizens didn't do the same it invoked fury and invokes fury to this day. Anyone wishing to harm Poland makes a grave error, as Polish children, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters fought for an independent Poland since the partitions. It was lead by Kośćiuszko which failed cause he didn't learn how to fight like Napoleon. He copycatted French defensive tactics instead of following Napoleons example like Polish lancers did. But he refused to acknowledge Napoleon which I respect him for it. After all he crowned himself and wasn't crowned by the Pope, he saw himself as above all. Even God

Nobody is above God. One can have his love, his spirit. But never be above our dear Lord. If anyone loves our lord the most and pray for Poland's salvation it's Polish catholics. Check out Żegota if you don't know about it allready, a Polish anti-semite wanted to save Jews simply because it was Christian thing to do. Others were scared for their lives during the occupation. Who can blame them? Everybody should know the terrors and horrors suffered at the hands of the SS&NKVD and later UB.

One only needs to see Katyń to imagine it, or Battle for Warsaw. Unless one knows their family history well enough. Cause I know mine, and I know what to be ashamed of and what to be proud of. Forgive but never forget

News / Israel opposing potential new Polish law to criminalise term 'Polish death camps' [1539]

I would suggest to scrap the law. If Israel and Americans can't respect Polish law (which was kind of provocative) then they can get their little "reward". Still ain't getting a dime from Poland. Poland puts Poland's citizens first and foremost. If they left Poland after WW2 that was THEIR choice
