News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 23 [452]
Bro you need to see a psychiatrist.
Ancient Ukrs?
Are you f*cking illiterate? You're a Pole. You have the same root word as us - so you have no excuse for playing dumb. "Ukraine" means "borderland countries". It has no other linguistic meaning or etymology.
Ukraine has never been a country. These are wild Russians. Unruly, through years of living in no man's land. That have to be redomesticated, and brought back to the family hearth.
ancient ukrs inhabited all this land from 1500BC

You have been talking to the Josef Pilsudski of this forum. He will not receive this information well.
Full disclosure - I am fairly left-wing.

I used to watch Polish action flicks (with Russian dubbing) when I was a kid, and then didn't watch anything Polish until 1670 last year.
So I'm pretty excited to see what you've recommended.

Life / Poland is horrible and I have to live here - somebody call a whambulance! [95]
Nearly every movie is based in New York. Sometimes I'm sitting in a movie theater, and a scene comes up that features the actual building in which I'm sitting in that very moment.
But it's not all Devil Wears Prada and Sex in the City. We also get to see the city destroyed by aliens, asteroids, terrorists, etc. If it's an American city getting wrecked in some movie - it's always NY and never Chicago.
There's a lot of New Yorkers everywhere. In Miami, in LA, in Denver, in St Louis - literally everywhere. They carry their NYC attitude with them, and it pisses people off.
John Updike said:
"The true New Yorker secretly believes that people living anywhere else have to be, in some sense, kidding."
Then Woody Allen also said, that a real New Yorker sees traveling outside New York as "camping".
These people weren't making it up - some New Yorkers are really this insufferable.
Some anecdotes from my own experience:
1) Took some folks skiing. In the middle of nowhere. Had to go to like 5 places, before it was decent enough for them to eat in. Then they started ordering fancy cocktails, from a bartender that only serves Jack and Coke or Coors Light. They didn't even understand why he hated them.
2) Again, took some folks upstate, to show where my plant is located. To the people in the car, it was like a safari. A girl in the back, kept asking me: "What do people do here? Do they have jobs? Where do they work?". I had to explain to her, that it works like any other economy. You need a haircut, so there is a barber. You need food - so there is a supermarket clerk. She couldn't believe me, that these people were actually seriously trying to live their life out there.
3) I had a girlfriend, that for trips outside New York, would pack food for herself for every day, because she felt she could not find edible food in the rest of this huge country.
So yeah, New Yorkers can sorta be blamed for the hate they attract. They think other Americans are insects.
In my mind New York is the centre of art, fashion, etc. Many American movies were made there and I guess that made it a big tourist attraction.

I just don't understand why people living outside of New York would hate the most famous and interesting city in their country?

No one moves because of this. No active or potential entrepreneur.
If Poles are at all like Russians - then it may be a larger problem of attitude.
In Russia, if I share with my friends that I'm starting a business, they'll give me 50 reasons for why it's not gonna work.
In America, everyone wishes you luck, and tries to connect you with somebody who could be useful.
Britain has the same problem though, if not worse. Not sure the business climate is any better in Britain than in Poland.
As for the UK I also heard about less bureaucracy - it's easier to set up your own company

In Annie Hall, Woody Allen said this about New York:
"Don't you see? The rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left‑wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers? I think of us that way sometimes-and I live here."
New York is Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots, and Abominations of the Earth.
People hate it for its arrogance, its sinfulness, and its greed. Same reason people hate Moscow.
People hate its power. The state used to be called the Empire State, because New York had its long tentacles dipping into every single pie. Whether it was the studios of Hollywood, the factories of Detroit, the oils derricks of Houston, or the meat packing districts of Chicago. The whole country worked for New York. The same way all of Russia works for Moscow.
Why is that? Too cosmopolitan for their taste?

Maybe we have criminal and barbarian understandings... possibly.
But all criminals and all barbarians respect strength.
Russia is a one thousand year exercise in building strength.
We want to be strong, and we respect only strength. Poland - just like Ukraine - is incredibly strong. You,
Yourself, do not understand how strong you are.
Together with us, we can be unstoppable. We will dominate this sorry planet, and then make every other world we encounter our b*tch.
If you want a strong planet - you want a strong Russia.
Soviets can't be trusted

I know this man, and every Russian knows him.
Again - respect. This is strength. This is faith. This is Jihad.
You don't understand us Russians... we respect this.
Reminds me of the captured Ukrainian soldier who said "Slava Ukraini!"

This is our Slavic inheritance. Nobody can take it away from you.
Although... many years ago, there was a video of an Italian special operations operator caught in Islamic State occupied Mosul. They took him, and his colleagues, outside the city and shot them.
They recorded the video and posted it to YouTube. Idiots. It backfired.
The Italian in the video tries to pull off his hood, and says: "Vi faccio vedere come muore un italiano!"
"Come, see how an Italian dies!"
When I first saw this video, it made me cry. To be in the middle of nowhere, with a hood on your head, and on your knees - and to muster this kind of a riposte...
Even an Italian became Russian for a moment.
They sucked meeting death with honour with the milk of their mothers.

This is true. I have a military family, going back many generations. Everyone has only good words to say about Polish bravery.
Poles played the sh*t hand of cards they got, as well as they were able to play it.
But they never allowed themselves to скурвиноваться.
Even the behavior of Polish officers at Katyn, caused
Russian executioners to lose their nerves. Poles were relaxed and jovial - as if they would still reach us in the next life. Truly brothers.
fault of our own, nobody can blame us.
