History / Chances of Moscow becoming part of Poland again? [102]

@Cojestdocholery
Either way, any chances of Moscow being part of Poland conquered or in union is irrelevant. As it didn't lead to any fruitation. Later on Catherine Tsarina contributed to being only one major slavic state instead of two. From Russian perspective most likely great! Cause Russians got monopoly basically fighting for slavic interests, but also reducing chances of any long term alliances that wouldn't threaten Russians to such a degree like conflicts with Sweden/Germany/Ottomon Empire which was at it's worst during ww2 when slavic continued existance was questioned.

For Russia to develope, she needs security, peace and less pressure from the west. Problem is that Russia seems any initiative from Poland as western initiative and not Polish initiative. Most of the west doesn't give a damn about Russia really, unless used for internal affairs (blame Russia etc bla bla)

For Poland and Russia to increase stability among slavic states, a good agreement needs to be made about Ukraine (with the aim for her to grow to increase each others prospects and capabilities)

And having a stronger slavic state in the south in the balkans, problem is that due to the Yugoslav civil war which lead to a break up. The option of a unified slavic state in the south is out of the question that would be large enough to co-operate with.

But instead, petty squabbles over Crimea and who gets to have most influence in Belarus seems more important now. It would require a great statesman to be able to make it happen, and currently I can't seem to think of any being able to push something like that through at the moment

I think of him being too fanatical about demanding all of Russia to convert to catholiscism when it clearly wasn't an option for Russians to do so. I am not a fan of forcing anyone to have faith.

It's a matter of choice, not that of political bickering

Sure, very kin to Putin today with the respect I reckon. Problem is that Piłsudskis fanboys were more interested in proving themselves legitimate by guessing what Piłsudski would had done in their stead. Hopefully nothing similar or at least not too dramatical will happen when Putin will have to be replaced.

In Poland's case neighbours and far reaching states using the Opportunity to the fullest.

If the Russian Federation would dive into a similar crisis with a leadership switch, I got No clue how it would be resolved.

Navalny could easily be seen as backed by the west, at the same time. He wouldn't be able to control anything within Russia, which would allow any internal conflicts to be handled without western interferance if it didn't risk navalnys position. Making the west focusing/contacting navalny which would halt western influence.

Unless there would be a strong enough backing by one of the most prominent Russians or wealthiest that would want to sweep away an electoral victory as soon as possible after Putin to underline his backing/influence.

Poland doesn't have any Russian in Russia who could be backed mainly by Poland, the factions in Russia who would be most Poland friendly would be those who coincide with Polish foreign policies (idealists, intellectuals, catholics, businessmen, maaybe the military if they understand Poland... But most likely not if they see Poland as NATO puppet without having a slavic perspective)

So Poland is forced to be quite neutral within Russian politics,as there are No suitable candidates to "bet" on. Only dealing with those in power, as best as possible.

History / Royal Family still in Poland? [79]


Was the legitimacy of a ruler, bound by grace of God to adhere to the conduct set by the rest of the church. Having the responsibility and burden of decision making.

It's a anti-ego legitimacy compared to despotism which is egoism at it's peak. The problem began to form when rulers used it as an excuse rather then reason for their rule (tyrants abusing religious doctrine)

Thankfully it developed more and in the direction of having Jesus Christ as King in Poland, which is a reason for why Poland is administrated as a republic.

So I cannot imagine Piast returning for instance

Which is called Despotism (there are rulers who either directly say out loud that they consider themselves divine or also/only demand to be treated as such or behaves as if they are without saying it)

Most known examples were the Pharaophs of old, Persian rulers to some extent and in modern times leaders of NK for instance. Lukashenka tries to become something similar but, truly he is too much of a joke to be considered as such. Even by his own population, one of the fights Christianity has is to fight despotic governments and despotic tendencies for obvious reasons.

That's impossible, Poland was split among three Imperial megalomanical states at the time when such reforms were starting to get introduced. You should know that very well, we are not discussing the quality of life of Russia's or Poland's poorest parts of society and their rights to the governments budgets.

We are talking about the efficiency, amounts of waste, corruption and time spent before decisions are made and how co-operative and good the local level of governance is. By having autocratic forms of governments, it's easier for the government to govern how it seems fit. But it's views doesn't necessarily correlate with the reality on the local level. And blocking local government from performing help, improvement or necessary action contributes to urbanization.

Do I have to tell you about the situation of many many people having to work in Moscow, Petersburg etc? Instead of building up their own communities? What does it help if countries become more autocratic and wealth is concentrated at capitols mainly? Like Washington D.C, there are hordes of americans that are unhappy with such an arrangement, Poles about Warsaw and I bet Russians about Moscow.

Your most likely thinking this is just another jab at Russia... I am just thinking what's best for Russia while also being good for Poland. But, your most likely thinking that anything that's good for Poland internally in Russia is bad huh? It seems like that to me atleast

@Vlad1234
Poland was still a republic during interwar period, the opposition knew however that any military clash for governmental power was impossible for them. Which lead to them losing support.

The national-democrats were ones with very large support in Polish society, but it's influence lost ground year by year after 1926 coup. The coup targeted mainly military control, civilian sector was largely ignored by Marshal Piłsudski and given to closest supporters to guarantee armies needs.

It was a very autocratic form of republic, still a republic non the less.

Vlad, your free to retaliate all you want and critisize Poland's republican traditions. Especially how it began and why.

It still doesn't change the fact of Russias society being used to far more autocratic tendencies and methods.

@Cojestdocholery
It was the Vasa who went into exile from Sweden by being too fanatical about catholiscism. He remained in power in Poland while having problems with the Polish nobility. Or am I mixing the Vasa rulers?

Which is a good example of idolizing the position of a king (tsar?) and being inspired by Ceasarian tendencies. Russians were not prepared for any overcomplicated form of governing other then monarchal ones. It changed in 1917, but due to certain factions being more powerhungry and ideologically driven the democratical/republican reforms that could had come to fruitation were halted until modern times of the post-soviet Russian federation.

It was reverted to monarchical tendencies under Stalin for a time cause of the chaos, fears and effects of the civil war. Very similar with 1991 and after effects, but thankfully to a much smaller degree and avoidance of a civil war. However the strengthening of the position of president is repetition of the same as in Russians past.

If the main parties in Russia will thouroughly work for better communication within it's Federation on local levels of government and encourage political participation instead of trying to discourage out of fear of losing power. It would go into Russian history that could reform Russia to a higher level then Peter did, it would most likely cost them a lot of power and influence for the next ten years. But generations of Russians would surely remember their sacrefice

Just as the elites of Poland neutralized pillaging, raids and agression from the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Polish elites today (I know Ironside I know) should neutralize the option of agression of the Russian Federation by making a Union with Russia directly, or indirectly by working for Russia to join the EU.

If most of Polish society would be able to see a way to bury the hatchet despite all the harm done throught centuries of conflict. It would enable the political forces to make such a move, especially as Russia is far more capable to handle such a transformation now then ever before thanks to the internet and the greater difficoulty of hiding information that is being shared

I was subtly hinting at your behaviour towards Crow, especially saying you would never love him. As from what I know, you live in U.S.A, which your reaction seems to confirm it.

And no, I have not been to america. Yet rumours has it there is a great voluntery culture over there. I have yet to consider it Christian if it's main purpose is to post about it on instagram however.

Seems love is very misunderstood in america

@Crow
Christs love is for all humanity, not slavs only. Which makes a slavic church pure nonsense. I wish you well crow, but your hatred towards the church which God has gifted us only reminds me of your stuborness and hostility. I wish you well, if my communication with you however only worsen I decided to cut it. As I don't want to pain myself with having anything to do with your damnation. Jesus Christ is the saviour, not me nor J_R

My advice to you, spend less time on Facebook. Evidently he doesn't care about Facebook. It's an internet site...

Some women can be extremely territorial and crazy (his ex-sounds like that)

My advice would be for him to work it out with his wife, although from what you write it seems impossible unfortunately. I am strongly against breaking up marriages, especially catholic ones.

Law / Getting Dual Citizenship without father...? [4]

As BCz wrote, you won't get it automatically by ancestry alone. You have No "right" to a citizenship per say, but you have legitimate reasons to try to get a Polish citizenship based on your heritage.

Having aquired a work permit/invitation for a job in Poland would work stronger in your favor. Informing about your background (identity and connection with Poland and the depth of it).

If you will be easily swayed by a refusal, you will only show lack of interest and investment in to it. You can't treat it only as a fancy collection card in your wallet.

If your serrious about it, show how much to the government employees at your closest Polish consulate/embassy.

Life / Polandball - Internet subculture [19]

@pawian
It originates from a comic about a guy making fun of a Pole that cleaned toilets in Germany.

Said German ignoring the fact why said Pole had to clean toilets there and not work in Poland, and also dismissing Polands past achievements. Trying to mock somebody having a lousy situation basically.

Then spiralled and started to include other countries as balls, it's a cultural satire belonging to the internet community basically. Many Poles tend to dislike the upside down of the flag with Polandball, but it's a symbol of satirical freedom expressed through the comic.

The humour of doing it and it's origin was meant to **** off Poles, out of ignorance of the white and read symbolism. Another subtle attempt at dowgrading and eliminating Polish group belonging which has it's origins from pre-Poland times in assimilating Western Slavs to German speaking community.

Yeah, 150 kb limit. Had to reduce filsize to post, hopefully your able to zoom to read it? :S

The text basically is that polandball has a chill morning in the woods, meets migrants going through the woods telling him they only want to go to Germany cause it's better. Then flashbacks are repeated about traumatic Events coinciding with Germany/Prussis «being better and Word better» triggering anger from being reminded about it. And tells vietball «they want jungle, we give them jungle» basically: «They don't give a ****, I won't give a ****»

Then building of wall commences with helmet on and words of EU ball falling on deaf ears

None of those two no! Far better and better looking then what the entire island of britain could even possibly imagine!

History of U.K can at best be summed up as classwarfare between factions about who gets to sit on the throne, while in Polish history gets to read about the triumphant social sucess which is the Polish republic which have agreed about rules of engagment regarding governing in Poland.

While in the U.K ever since Cromwell, the islanders have accepted their failed attempt and think monarchy is the best solution cause of their own failure. Thinking it impossible for others to not only suceed but overcome it as well! Which is why Norway has a monarchy this day instead of a republic for instance! Cause of english fragileness

Polish identity is based upon the kingdom of Poland, which again came about thanks to Mieszko I decision to marry Dobrawa... Which lead to Bolesław Chrobry! Read a history book would you?

"What 'other Rome'?"
The one a certain Tudor left with his whole kingdom cause he wasn't able to bring about an male heir

And most definitively the reformation worsened christianity, it's divided in Germany to this very day and even leading to prophanations

@Bratwurst Boy
It's just copy catting america in how U.S.A got prosperous, giving out american dollars in loans (where do you spend american dollars? In U.S.A!)

Giving out Euro? Gotta spend in the EU! Duh!
As such beneficiaries get used to the system and regulations of Germany/EU there the bond gets stronger and habits start to evolve.

In the big picture it's purely an investment, Polish banks should give out loans in złoty to Lithuanians, Belarussians and Ukrainians as much as possible, Russians too if possible.

Just think about it
