News / Good news: Poland's PiS to rule at least 12 years -- Morawiecki [91]


He has a lot of keen followers, however he gets it wrong sometimes.


Other clairvoyants are saying similar things. About there being two figures.

A healthier approach than being one or the other.

Healthiest of all is friendship and trust with neighbours. Russia isn't ready for that right now (and won't be for a long time). Germany is though.

So it's basically your opinion.


No it's not a fact.


Is that bad?

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Can you provide a source for that? If you read the linked articles, you'll see otherwise. The issue is about a Holocaust survivor's verbatim testimony.


You just made that up.


Didn't take you long.

Love / Incels in Poland [299]

An interesting article here about the degree to which incels hate women:
"70.6 percent rating themselves as 3, 4, or 5 on the misogyny scale"

"An atmosphere of "freezing cold" now permeates through the entire Polish education and academic systems, he said.
The only positive outcome, Grabowski said, has been the immense backing from researchers around the world.
"I've never in my life seen such an incredible amount of solidarity and support," he said."

"Nine researchers, including Grabowski, spent six years writing a 1,700-page book called "Night Without End: The Fate of Jews in Selected Counties of Occupied Poland,'' released in Polish in mid-2018."

And here's an article from yesterday:

"In a normal world, this case would have been dismissed long ago," Prof. Grabowski told The New York Times. "But, Poland can no longer be considered a normal democracy."

No. You're trying to change the subject.

Back on topic, here's an article in ABC news about the affair:

"In reality, however, the entire lawsuit has been prepared, launched and financed by a militant right-wing, nationalistic organization funded directly by the Polish state and serving as a proxy for the Polish authorities,"

Love / Incels in Poland [299]


Incels generally don't get in a position where a woman would let them buy a beer.


And they never get anywhere near that.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Not generally by reputable media who fact check.

The PiS attempts to use law to mould a historical narrative and censor academic freedom are a big issue.

The whole thread is about this. It has been reported on in the media in 50+ countries.


There aren't. He and his wife were childless.


In your own words, "You're making stuff up!"

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]

Off topic.

The only important issue in this thread is academic freedom and attempts to supress it by shadowy organisations sponsoring lawsuits.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


Desperately trying to twist the narrative and stifle freedom of expression, rather like the so-called 'nationalist group' who sponsored the original much-criticised lawsuit.

Transparent really, and of course, doomed to failure.


Of course not.

No.

Nothing else needs to be added or relativised.

An atrocity on that scale stands alone.

News / New "Polish memorial" in Berlin [316]


Can an atrocity of that magnitude be called "a mistake" by anybody truly sane?


Do you think that justifies it? The same filthy excuse is used by tankies to try to explain away the holodomor.

History / Malinowo: Polish-Nazi Supression? [447]


The episode was set about a decade after.


Nobody is doing anything about it. The payback will be later, but when's later? A century? Two?

But (remember the topic of this thread), China officially suppress data (current or historical) and use the courts plus financial leverage to try to propagate a particular national mythos that they want people to see.

As the Jon Hamm character said about Israel during the first series of Mad Men when looking at holocaust pictures: "I can see why they want guns".

Yes. More than long enough for any community.

People are how they describe themselves, how they feel.

Are they connected to the new Polish Memorial in (the staunchly Protestant) Berlin?

Life / Paintings of artists from Poland? [192]

And my last for now is by Maria Dulębianka (1861-1919) who lived in Kraków and Lwów. It's a painting of her partner, the writer and suffragette Maria Konopnicka.

Life / Paintings of artists from Poland? [192]

This one's by Edward Okun (1872-1945), one of my favourites. He was a symbolist painter (their stuff is coming back into fashion now) and was on the steps of the Zachęta (he was vice-president of the society who ran it) when President Narutowicz was assassinated by Eligiusz Niewiadomski who he caught and detained.

Some do.


Poles are reversed? Like reversed polarity?

You mean Jewish Poles and Polish gentiles.

Indeed. Worth mentioning though that most Poles here, whether of Jewish or of gentile background, don't display flags in their living room.
