In other words, the best choice for difficult times.

Except the 'peasants' don't vote for PSL anymore, and haven't for a decade. They vote for PiS. So you are correct in a way.

The only people that vote for PSL are the administrators of the small towns that are scattered throughout the agricultural land. the small town bourgeois if you like.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]

Had it been left to capitalists and their 'markets'

Isin't the most relevant comparison here East Germany and West Germany? .As in if Poland was in the western sphere of influence after 1945, as opposed to being under soviet occupation.

Life / In Poland on holiday - need help with bad case of homesickness [108]

person behind the counter smiles rather than scowls and when a stranger on the train or buys smile and talks to you.

Hahahaha so true, I've decided when I'm back in Poland next, I'm going to be the same joyfull and chatty, happy go lucky person I am in Oz. Going to smile and make small talk to shop attendants and strangers. I don't care if people think I am an informant, gay, a creep or just mentally ill.

If some debil get aggressive about it, he'll get a smack in the head. I guess my accent in speaking polish will help in that people will accept it cause 'he's not from around these parts".

We are suffering inside too when we're reading what he's saying, trust me lol 馃槶

How is he wrong? The show has been bastardised and is nothing like the books which delved deeply into Slavic mythology. The show is another Game of Thrones rip-off.

You must be one of those low iq poles if you enjoy this show. Thankfully there are the three computer games that are faithful tol the source material.

Anyway we already had the discussion that netflix is the mcdonalds of television.

BS, I was talking about Covid,

If he thought and said Covid was a hoax (which he did not) why would he boast about the success of the vaccine. If covid was a hoax there was no need for vaccines?

Go suck trump off on another forum, this is the Coronavirus IN POLAND thread.

Things are getting seriously dangerous

Yes what power mad wierdo smiles like that, hours after the death of the polish president and the polish government elite? If people can't see that's dodgy then they have rocks in their head.

getting seriously dangerous for Poland with a pro Russian government

There is a saying that applies to Tusk "Ten Bydlak potrzebuje dw贸ch mistrz贸w. To ma we krwi" This Swine needs two masters, It's in his blood.

The two masters of Tusk are Germany and Russia. Tusk is the last man you want in power when Germany and Russia agree it's time to negotiate over Ukraine and no more EU money as time to get back to business.

This years election is going to be a very close shave..

Aren't you happy that your party will be the kingmakers?
What a choice!

- Join the PiS or PO establishment, ie selling out, like all 'protest' parties eventually do, or throw Poland into an democratic chaos, with another election a few months after this one.. The latest rumour was Tusk negotiating with Konfa to join a POPSL/2050 coalition, with Lewica frozen out. Wonder what konfa voters will think about that?

To appease them, a neo-liberal economic agenda would be unleashed onto poland. Mass privatisations of PKP, ZUS, Orlen etc. There would be pride parades but user pays, 50 zloty to get in + 10 extra if you want to wave a flag.

Travel / Poland's Super Hub Airport [17]

Airplanes play an insignificant role in the international transport of goods.

There will always be a need for time sensitive freight to be shipped by air. You know how many tons of fresh salmon Norway flies to the USA every day?

but in Poland and in Germany there are already a lot of small airports that are financially unprofitable.

And if people can reach CPK in an hour on high speed rail, then the case for closing those airports which are being financialy raped by ryanair can be made.

I don't much like the scouts and supply line analogy

I didn't think you would as it's not based on a 200 year old marxist analysis ;)

There will be a another civil war and societal breakdown in the US, that is a given, over BS political ideological differences and extreme inequalities and deprivations created by the system that they chose. Regardless, it's like the civil wars in the roman empire before the goths sacked rome, in this case the goths are china and maybe russia. What happens in the US spreads throughout the whole world, especially Poland. Even now the polarisation and tensions in Poland are striking, a tvp journalist cannot go to a PO rally without being threatened and vis-a-vis for tvn24 journo at PiS rally.

Therefore we need new theories and ideologies that bring people together into a cohesive society, call it nation-state or whatever it doesn't matter, different groups need transcend their political differences and realise we are part of one western humanistic culture or it's game over, might as well teach the kids mandarin and that the han chinese are the master race.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

Using the analogy of the armed forces as society, the left is the scouting division, charting new frontiers of undiscovered territory, the right is the supply lines regiment. The scouts always want the army to move forward as they have seen the glorious future, the logistics regiment is worried about what happens if the army moves forward too fast, as they are responsible for the nuts and bolts. The scout soldiers propose radical solutions, sometimes they mess up bad and the army ends up sinking in quicksand, the supply line soldiers are naturally conservative and when they mess up, the army stays in one spot aimlessly.

But like the pigeon needs both wings to fly, so does the army need both the scouts and the supply lines to function and evolve.

In Poland, it tends to be the right wing that looks east to Ciemnogrod.

Still with these thatcher era definitions of ideology eh? o.k let's play, PiS is not right wing and PO is not leftwing/centrist economically, and to me (and the working class) economic impacts are more important than cultural/identity issues.

I've updated my brain about these political labels and now prefer to think of it in these terms

- I'm so confused by what left and right means these days that I get lost on the roundabout. All i know is that the pigeon outside my window needs two wings to fly.

But if you want to press the point, why did Sikorski boast to Olejnik that it was Poland who was first with the 'reset' towards Russia, 6-12 months before the USA?

I don't believe politics defines character and I don't let it affect who I hang out with.

I guess we would have to agree on a shared definition of what a nationalist is if you want to make statements like that.

talking about politicks as IF you knew what are you talking about.
