News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [1183]

he loves it too much to leave.

he only loves it becasue he gets lots of attention (which narcissists need). Deprive him of attention and he's gone.

the thing is narcissistic personality is very hard for reasonably normal people to understand, they're essentiallyd adult children and feel a pressing need to be the center of attention all the time.

I know of a case where a 70 year old diagnosed narcissist was upset because his family was celebrating the birthday of a 6 year old "It's like my life means nothing to you all!" he said as a grimly tried to turn every bit of attention away from the child and toward himself.

That's what you're dealing with and enabling and empowering.

If that floats your boat go on.

t. China's history is full of rebelllions, uprisings and Civil wars.

Drastically simplified version: China is maybe more like Europe than a European country. There are two broad tendencies, the northern tendency is to impose uniformity and to try to rule the rest. The southern tendency is to try to break away from northern rule as oppressive (though there's no unity in the South, there are four or five centers of Southern Chinese.

At present there is surface order in China (a colleague recently returned from a trip to a few cities and was raving about the cleanliness and order).

Meanwhile the economy is imploding with malls dying and workers setting factories on fire because they haven't been paid.

And the population is nowhere near the official figures so economic plans made for a country of 1.4 billion people won't work when the population is actually well shy of a billion (my guess is about 700 million, not the low end of realistic China watchers opinions).

Add typical communist misrule and incompetence and you have a house of cards, ready to collapse.

You keep saying that if we ignore him, he will go away. I

Cause some people can't resist jumping and ingesting warmed over vomit.... if enough people ignored him he'd post even more for a while and then finally get bored and demoralized and leave.

Discipline, people!

You didn't pray for anything.

The narcissist game (which for some reason you want to play, so you should know the rules):

1. the narcissist vomits up a bunch of stinking rotting bait,

2. the narcissist's hangers on jump on it and ingest it and squawk at the narcissist who gets fatter and lazier and happier (the louder the squawking the bigger the payoff for the narcissist)

3. rinse and repeat

If you enjoy that game then.... play on! But be honest about what you're doing...

Things are going so well for russia in its campaigns of territorial expansion that it's lost access to space.....

x.com/nexta_tv/status/1994137928331874718

A hint as to the reason can be found here: " a large metal structure in the gas exhaust duct under the rocket - preliminary estimates suggest this could have been a technical service module that was supposed to be removed before launch but for unknown reasons remained in place"

x.com/StratcomCentre/status/1994331422849425525

That's what happens to a culture that prioritizes submission and obedience and not initiative and competence.

russia marching forward..... to the early 1960s (the last time they had no access to space).

News / AfD politician: Poles are land-stealing n*ggers [191]

their electorate is dying out, would eventually mean the end of them as a considerable political force) that they think Orbanisation is a viable solution.

Much harder to achieve in Poland. Part of Orban's model has been trying to drive younger, better educated voters who are less likely to vote for him out of the country (and it's harder for the Hungarian diaspora to vote .... though IIRC he's made it easier for Hungarian minorities in Slovakia and Romania to vote for him).

And there was never any youth party in Hungary (a big part of what Tisza is about).

If Braun can suck off (as it were) the nazi-soviet sympathisers into his camp then konfa can stop obsessing about culture war issues and concentrate on issues that matter to younger voters (cause neither PiS nor KO really worry about that).

once and for all, so that nobody can come back to it in the future.

The last thing PiS (or aligned) want is to have the issue settled and no matter how much German were to give they would say it's not enough.

The whole thing is ridiculous to be talking about a conflict that ended over 80 years ago.

News / Britain - problem for Poland and Poles? [167]

Why is that ? What elements make it incompatible?

There's no real respect for secular education, there's no idea of casual social mixing of men and women, there are differential rights by religion, there's no freedom of conscience, no condemnation of slavery etc

These might not be problems if not for the fact that many/most muslims take a literalist approach to the koran and admit no possible non-literal interpretations (which most Christians have no problem with regarding the Bible).

more worried about

Those are problems too, for sure.

Islam is incompatible with western society, it either has to be controlled or deported

Let me know when the UK dumps the ECHR cause it's the biggest hurdle to dealing with boat migrants they way they should.

Trump's plan is a no goer...

the pattern so far has been pretty clear.... after hestiation Ukraine has agreed with every American proposal and russia rejects it and keeps killing civilians

The next step is for Trump to learn absolutely nothing, blame Ukraine and sweet talk russia and try again.

russia wants war and dead Ukrainians and Trump is too short sighted to figure that out.

And Europe is impotent and worried about 'escalation'.

PiS has poisened this debate so much

PiS never expected reparations, it's just a way to goose up their easily manipulated base.

Think of Polish 'claims' for reparations like russian nuclear threats.... empty rhetoric that they have no intention of seriously following through on.

Sometimes a big crisis can be a chance to modernize.

Germany's facing multiple crises and not taking any chance to modernize.... so..... sounds like rationalization.

Eventually we will have to reconcile

They will have to change first and there's no indication of that happening.... ever.

They'll have to discover ideas like human dignity, freedom and responsibility and not let themselves be taken care of and told what to do and say and think by the tsar.

ussia will know not to p*ss us off because we are world-famous hysterics

historic reconciliation of Russians and Poles

pass..... they're really not worth the time and effort

If you thought letting Greeks into the euro zone was a mistake,

Everybody knew they were lying for years to qualify, so I think the injured innocence act "they lied! they must be punished" was extremely hypocritical.

sell all their critical infrastructure to Germany.

Which Germany hasn't really done anything with I hear.... they bought the airports and just let them sit there, falling apart.

Of course Greece wasn't the real problem (its debt was a rounding error in terms of EU budgets) but they wanted to make an example of them so Italy wouldn't be tempted to go the same way....

Not swallowing any of these 4 dimension chess ideas. G

Neither do I but he has good instincts on how to work a crowd (all those years in reality TV and professional wrestling).

5 different versions of the same story in 3 days.

In other words, likely none is the real deal.

hmmm hmmmm hmmmmm

Interesting how public topics change..... no one's talking about the Ukraine corruption scandal and everybody's busy talking about how awful the US "plan" is (which "plan" is not new and has been around forever).

Does any politician understand Don Draper's famous quote as well as Trump does?

Braun's letter to Lavrov...

The stupid fvvkker approach to Polish nationalism.... be subservient to moscow. They might not always like the side effects but it's a world they understand, perpetual victimhood and no real responsibility....

Braun's shenanigans in public are infantile tantrums. Like russians he wants to be told what to do and what to think.His mind is captive to his pyschological limitations.
