History / Crazy 1990s in Poland - transition from communism to capitalism - stories [111]


I just gave you a concrete example from the working class side of my family, of how their life has gone from fighting to survive, to joining the lower middle class thanks to 500+, raising the minimum wage and creating job/economic growth. How is that idealistic?

You should insert 'half' in the middle of your username.

Poor tacticus it seems he still believes in fairy tales that germany is not doing the minimum and secretly wants Russia to win, or at least a ceacefire/treaty asap so they can go back to suc*ing each other off.

If PiS had not been in power.
No baltic pipe so more dependence on russian gas
no increase in military spending so less supplies to send to ukraine
no visit by V3 to Ukraine, which the EU dismissed by saying it was unaproved visit.
basically Poland would be germanys lackey and just do all they could to delay and obstruct, and ruin our relationship with the USA>

Oh dear it seems you have been filling your head with oko press and tvn propaganda, undermining democracy what a joke, did you see what happened in EU parliament to those that lectured poland on rule of law, suitcases of qatar cash lolzo,

internal polish polish war, and i thought that was since time immorial, at least it wasin't a war on the polish poor ie 10 zloty an hour forcing them to leave the country en mass and raiding the pension fund of every pole.

shameless nepotism - excuse me, just because someone funded press investegations into current gov board appointments, does not PO did not do the same thing.

giving away money - if you had travelled outside of poland, you would know that child support is a given in any developed civilised country, but now when poland does it it's somehow bad.

Ther are many academic papers in polish but this is a good summary youtu.be/tRNCbuZFXGo?t=848


I'm a radical centrist on both, with a slight left tinge on the economy and a very slight right on social.
Bringing in policies that helped the under privileged and forgotten people since the transformation is a historical hallmark of PiS. I just look at my cousin in law, during PO rule she had to work three jobs just to survive, and the post communists tried to steal the family appartment with the reprivatisation scandal in warsaw.

3 years ago the family could afford their first overseas holiday and wages are not poverty level anymore, lowest unemployment in europel. during PO timres investment in research and development was 0.6 percent of GDP, in Slowakia and Czech it was 1.4 and 2.6 percent. PO were refusing EU investment into R&D almost as if they wanted to keep Poland weak and subservient to Germany. Now PiS is righting the wrongs of the transformation and building back better the poland of our dreams. Your nIghtmare! :) :)

History / Crazy 1990s in Poland - transition from communism to capitalism - stories [111]


It started in 1984-1985 when the communists began preparing for the transition, by creating financial structures and reforms that would allow them to get rich with the help of traitors and moronic chearleaders.


Giving all the economic power to those that had supposedly been overthrown? better to have gone down the czech route of revolution rather than transition.

Funny how you disgusting individuals are supporting cargopants giggling and chortling about puting the screws on a a single mother of 3, instead of being human being and cutting her some slack

The feeling is mutual, all that money being made by the trans industry and shonky doctors by selling unproved for safety puberty blockers, mastectomies, genital tucks to ignorant parents to mutilate their children. And as if that doesn't have money, PR companies behind it that seek to influence the public debate, perhaps it's you that's being played, sucker. Luckily the U.K goverment wised up and shut down tavistock, USA next to go.

Now you're nitpicking and making yourself look silly, the fight for legalisation of homosexuality and later the legalisation of gay marriage in some countries did not require a 'political party.' As with any political movement, boots on the ground, organisational structures, influential allies, money, and most importantly pasage of time are the keys.


Demanding someone change their use of language and modify the definition of the english language without an invitation to do so, to satisfy that persons personal beliefs of their identity and entitlement and then explicitly ostracising and punishing them for not doing so is neither nice or charitable and definitely does not contribute to a better society.

As in a english school teacher recently being suspended and banned from school grounds, and then chucked in jail for returning to the school, for refusing to address one of their students as 'they'. Yes perhaps I should have used the word crime instead of sin.

"No such thing. Unlike PiS' theocracy, there simply isn't an 'ideology' at all."

Abortion is a sin and must be punished.
Refusing to use someones choice of 93 pronouns is a sin and must be punished.

A person can be cured/saved through the power of prayer ie thought
A man can give birth and a woman can have a penis through the power of thought.

Sounds all the same to me

Life / Can they use my stolen iPhone abroad / in Poland? [11]


An IMEI block is done by the telco you are using, if you did not have a Polish T-Mobile plan or prepaid sim that was in the iphone recently, then there is nothing you can do.

Of course on android there are ways to remotely kill the phone if you know your marbles.
But the fact that it's an iphone means your relative will be having fun with some bath salts.

It shows that PiS fundamentally believes in europe as in a community of nation states working together for better economic outcomes, would you have prepared we had gone to war with EU and won, like Hungary did?

Just last few days Hungary got their money by threaten to veto aid to Ukraine and mimimum corporate tax rate in EU, and Eurocrats folded like pack of cards.

It shows that apart from ziobro, kaczynski and morawiecki and PiS are moderates willing to compromise. Plus this money will boost lots of infrastructure development and help PiS win next election, good news! Bad news for traitors like pawianowicz!

I think the definition we are looking for is fedralists vs the nation statists, and with the invevtible collapse of the euro, the ones that want to get rid of nation states and centralise power in brussels will be discredited and we will return to the concept of the EU as it should be.

Congrats on finding Perun, his videos are excellent. Very intersting the picture that he presented, that Poland is working with Korea to set up a joint venture for technology transfer and manufacture and sell weapons in Europe as a competitor to France and Germany. Hopefully PO won't rip up the contracts and kowtow to the krauts again.

The Korean equilivant to HIMARS, the K239 looks pretty sweet, and high probability it will be manufactured in poland.
