Right. Sorry, I misread it. Time for me to get some sleep probably.


That's because you're Slavic. We can be furious and cruel sometimes but there is simply no capacity in us for a long-run, sustained, malicious cruelty and industrialised genocide. Perhaps that's why we have been only moderately successful as compared to other races.

That is one sh*tty analogy, pawian. Even for you. :)

Off-Topic / Russian Views On Poland and Vice Versa [370]


Ha, ha. You can bullsh*t pawian but not me, kiddo. Remember that I am PF's honorary Russophile (together with Novi but he annoys me recently). Alas, times are difficult for Russophiles in Poland, let me tell you.

@Bobko

And yet the Soviet Union (i.e. Russia on steroids) fell miserably into a hundred pieces, so maybe (just maybe) the brutalizing tactics wasn't the most efficient.

And anyways, I don't think it's an exactly accurate description of Russia's/Soviet Union's approach to their vassals. If we look at European conduct in their African colonies or the brutality of Third Reich, Russians seem almost benevolent in comparison.

So maybe it was the other way around? Maybe you were too soft?

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [298]


Yes. Because German border guards are absolutely amazing and legendary at stopping migrants. Migrant-stopping Weltmeisters one might say. *rolls eyes*


...and back in Germany with light speed again.


Not gonna happen, Iron. We can come back to this thread next year, and in two years time, and in five years time, and it still won't happen.

Same here! :)

Strange things happen in this forum recently. I must admit that I had a wrong idea about you in the past.


Of course.

Thanks. I'll be going to Wrocław in February, it's about 100km from there, so I might check it myself.

Nonsense.

Oh, well... I suppose we will have to agree to disagreee on this one. Balance in nature and all that.

He saved us from Soviet intervention - Hungary- or Czechoslovakia-style. And he also made it clear that Wojsko Polskie would fight the intervening forces, so the mess would be exponentially bigger than with Czechs or Hungarians.


Wise the f*ck up Pawian, will you? *rolls eyes*

What's it like? Is it as impressive in reality as in the photos?

Have you just called my Dad a "homo sovieticus"?


Latest findings by whom? Antoni Macierewicz? Or some other deluded maniacs who would sh*t themselves ten times if they had to go through half of what Jaruzelski was.


Hmm... I suppose the balance of nature is an important thing. So be it.

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [298]


From all the things you mentioned I am only concerned about the Korean weapons contract. You may be onto something there. But Tusk knows he will take a nose dive in the polls if he f*cks with Wojsko Polskie. He won't dare.

As for the huge infrastructural investments I don't think they will be abandoned (it wouldn't make sense). I haven't heard about any definite plans of abandoning them. As for migrants - even if they are all relocated to Poland, they will be back to Germany, France etc. with light speed. Remember what happened in the last wave, with those who were taken in by Polish parishes? They were given apartments, health-care, education, benefit money, help with finding jobs etc. and after two weeks they were all in Germany. :)

Replace 'obsessed' with 'annoyed'. :)

Off-Topic / Russian Views On Poland and Vice Versa [370]

Great post, Bobi - thank you for that.


Pawian will in a moment jump out from behind a bush and start talking about sexual intercourse with everybody's "stalinist granpas" but I will say this: my father, who is a wise and generous man who has been through a lot, has always respected Jaruzelski despite all the mud that was thrown at the general by many "turbo-patriots". I was for a long time skeptical until I started to investigate the history myself and read, among other things, Jaruzelski's book "Być może to ostatnie słowo".

The guy had to make a lot of difficult choices in his life but he had brains and balls, and - most importantly - huge love for Poland in his heart.


Perhaps even more than Poles (which not many of us will admit).

EDIT: Pawian's already here. "Feck your stalinist granpas" phrase will be thrown in 3... 2... 1...

No, I am into one of these goddesses. :) Have been for about 19 years now, and let me tell you something, Iron: if I were born again a hundred times I would marry her again a hundred times.

Weak losers, like johnny here, are into submissive stupid geese not to increase their own insecurities and complexes. Alpha males marry fiery goddesses.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]


Exactly.

There is nothing more pathetic than a man needing a woman to be less so he can be more. Only sorry losers, like the old poacher Johnny, dream of passive, submissive, stupid geese. They would look for a place to hide if they ever found themselves around an intelligent, wild, fiery-eyed goddess. Now, taming one of these - that's a job for an alpha male! :)

It's not useless if it brings me satisfaction. :)

Besides, the bolsheviks hated my home city (for a good reason he he), so f*ck 'em.


This remains to be seen. I am willing to give Tusk the benefit of the doubt, but if he repeats his first PO government's antics, I'd be seriously pissed off. :-/


Hey, f*ck you too, Iron. And welcome back :)

EDIT: By the way, check my cool "Pol-Shorpy Photo Thread". :)

News / Time to clean the swamp - dePiSification of Poland [298]


Welcome to the club :) Nice to see you back, Iron.


Well, if we are to be fair, they also got the army reinforcements (equipment purchases, territorial defense etc.) more or less right. Social programs were also not the worst idea. Oh, and NBP bought sh*tloads of gold, which is not bad. Also, unemployment is at historical low and wages are rising consistently (inflation eats them up, but it's getting better).

If only they weren't such bolshevik arseholes, treating Poland like their private folwark (did you see how much their propagandist kurwas from TVP made?), and entering Ukrainian anuses with extraordinary zeal, they wouldn't be that bad. Unfortunately, they couldn't rise above their petty political/financial interests and their phobias, so they lost (there was also their idiotic war with teachers - I mentioned it in the Polish Wybory 2023 thread). Good riddance.

Hopefully, Tusk will be less susceptible to outward influence this time and will honour the military contracts with the USA and South Korea. If not, f*ck him too.

No, it's not a still from a Disney movie but a popular tourist place (hotel, restaurant, huge park) organised at historic Moszna Castle (former Schloss Moschen) in Opole Vojvodship, between Prudnik and Krapkowice.

I'd rather watch these videos about the American paradise...







... and hundreds of others, TikTok rants about inflation, inability to escape poverty in America, fentanyl zombies, gay marriage, wokeism, cancel culture etc. etc.

I would take Italy any time instead of all that.

Luckily, I live in Poland - white, Christian, conservative bastion, with minimal structural unemployment, rising GDP and wages, and decent common free education and health service. Face it, Ryszard, perhaps your moving to the US made sense in 1960s but at the moment Poland wins in every possible category. Maybe that's why you're bitter and regret your past betrayal of your country and culture? Hmm... yeah... that's probably it.

Yes, I am a Christian but I am not a saint; and it would take a saint to apologise first after what those beasts did.

You didn't take my deal, so why should I take yours?

Besides, cancel culture is not codified in any official law, is it? And yet it works perfectly in America.

News / Poland - A True Bastion and Defender of Free Speech [250]


Well, there were demonstrations organised with "Stop the Ukrainisation of Poland!" and "Not our war!" banners. Admittedly, not many people attended them but they happened. There are journalists writing mildly pro-Russian articles (Warzecha in "Do Rzeczy") or openly pro-Russian ones ("Myśl Polska"), also predicting Russian victory, and nobody persecutes them.

You have a totally wrong idea of Poland and Europe. Perhaps you really did become thoroughly americanised after all...

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [337]


For the sake of the alliance I am willing to agree that Poland should apologise to Ukrainians first, as you propose.

I have only two preliminary conditions:

1. That hell freezes.
2. That pigs start to fly.
