History / Why do Polish people hate to be called Eastern European? [120]


Just as Iceland isn't a scandinavian country, but Nordic. Iceland is a nordic country not British, despite being a Island in north western europe.

Chinese are east asians, not middle eastern and western slavs are central europeans, not eastern europeans nor eastern slavs.

Before 1939 one could argue Poland (not Poles) is a central&eastern european country due to mix of Poles, Unrainians and Belarussians.

Nowadays Poland is very much further west geographically but, also more connected to western projects, alliances and union. Eastern european states are not, only few eastern europeans that have anything to do with west or nordic countries are the baltic states, due to their similar sensitivity they prefer to be understood as Baltic, nordic, european more then Eastern european due to their drift towards nordic countries and Germany. Throughout history in general

It's one group before another, mark my words. In 5, 10 or 20 years it will be another unwanted group

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [565]

I am not a big fan of PiS, but after the attack on the combatants in Ravensbrück. The news are spreading Polish media space (not mainstream yet I think)



Now I am officially hostile to the current German government, Scholz and the director of the Museum in Racensbrück.

This is a direct result of the German produced series that villainised Polish underground movement and presented it as antisemitic.

@johnny reb
I am fairly certain that NATO defence is regarding defence of members sovereign territory. Not that of expeditions abroad, then that's up individual states relations unless clarified in the treaty (that I do not know of)

They weren't planting that flag on top of the museum, they were portraying solidarity with the victims, does not surprise me you side with those that wishes to continue the camps traditions and bring it back!

Polish journalists and members of ww2 combatants group were attacked today by Antifa in German concentration camp, while German police ignored the situation. Just cause they had Polish flags.

So no, I am not convinced of doing or supporting anything in Middle East. Poland got enough problems at home and with neighbours already!

Better with a foe that knows our worth then a friend that does not. Polish-Turkish relations have only improved since the Siege of Vienna, I wouldn't call that a bad thing for Poland.

First step is to not kill Polish humanitarians, not spit on Polish priests, monks or nuns.

Then there will room for talk, until then. They can use the highway, with as much speed they want

Life / Jewish culture in today`s Poland [158]


I am sorry? You telling us that pre-Christian Israel did NOT conquer lands in the Middle East? That it wasn't religiously grounded?

It wasn't so much a missionary religion I'll grant you that. But never a conquering religion?

They were given a task and privilege to be the first on earth, I wouldn't exactly be very joyful of such a role given. While many people for absurd reason (mostly petty and stupid) are jealous about it.

It would have dire consequences if the self proclaimed false Israel would fall as it would flood Europe with conflict creating migrants (especially to Poland possibly after a move or two)

Remember that they are separatists, they are same or similar to those that got stoned by Moses command and they continue to refuse Jesus Christ to this day. As they were supposed to the end of days, yet thinking highly of seperatists. I have trouble understanding that

@jon357
Behaviour and values necessary for military personnel to have and perform in a civil society to avoid unrest, injustice or unnecessary casualties among the civilian population. Especially among riders (traditionally horseback, but is recommended for camel, elephant, tank, bike or plane riders aswell)

White knight behaviour can be found most commonly among societies who have little or unknown experiences or knowledge of the true nature of such people and tries to parrot them successfully. Due to discovery of this parroting, the whole concept has become videly unpopular. Most commonly in the U.S.A

@jon357

I don't think most people expect non-chivalrous people to behave chivalrous. Regardless of them being a women or not, for some odd reason. Plenty of people dream of the lack of chivalry in society as a whole and would like to exchange it with open hostility and agression. In a nuclear age, it boggles the mind.

Life / St Patrick's day in Poland [272]


Anybody who says everyone is equal while being lower then most people and uglier then most should get their head examined. Especially after crying out for murder. They are clearly "disturbed" by facts of life.

Yes some people are generally better overall, it's not a good enough reason for only such people to rule tho. I don't find the reasoning for Aristocracy to be good enough, but with enough people voicing stuff like you. It sounds more enticing day by day, regardless if I would be part of it or not (probably not part of that group)

Life / St Patrick's day in Poland [272]


That's the thing tho, nobility in europe (gentry, upper class you name it) saw themselves as sons and daughters of Troy that fled all over Europe (ridiculous in my opinion) while Szlachta saw itself as something similar but, that of Sarmations and having origin coming from Persia/India. Nietzsche was fascinated by this and tried to make a philosophy out of it, then the NSDAP bastardised it.

So elite of Europe saw themselves different and distinct from their peasents and rest of society. So definitively not their own. As they themselves saw it, Nationalism changed that.

One of the effects was escape to Ukraine to avoid being a peasant.

Life / St Patrick's day in Poland [272]


I would pick Slavs being taking into «Jasyr» by Ottomon Empire and Crimean Khanate and Cossacks tactics regarding it. But sure be my guest, rile up against Szlachta is always a good theme

Oh I can daydream more sickly if you are interested
Just saying

@pawian
Am I wrong to love humankind? Am I wrong to then love all slavs? Am I then wrong to love my people? I see it a greater crime for me or you to let hatred not only enter your heart, but even the thought of it replacing love in one's heart is a crime, that spreads not only through your own body but that of the hearts and souls in the world. There is a sickness in Russia that needs to be cured, it spreads like wildfire. You are not helping out with putting it out, you're encouraging it to spread. Joining their nature in behaviour and actions. Yet you deem me traitor?

You should be satisfied I am only restraining you with my words, cause imagine what your hands would do to traitors of humanity.

Remind me to put your hands and head in the pillory while I command your pupils to flog you as much as they please. I recommend giving them compliments more often so nobody will experience the satisfaction of doing it to you.

Life / Why women's rights are not respected here in Poland? [160]


Really
So if somebody came along to tell you that your head of state should have a right to kill you, cause you make him feel unwell in the morning. You would vote yes for that guy?

It is very simple, if a society had no issue with killing babies, infants or pre-born human beings.

Why would they have an issue with killing you too? Do you have no idea where this mindset leads to? Does somebody have to spell it out for you?!

History / History of Polish-Russian relations [186]


That's because he is trying to tell a story, while you are trying to research and argue about the facts, impressions and perspectives to get closer to the truth and see if you can be correct in your views.

Polish history is much more about very convincing storytelling that drives people mad and ignites passion.

Russian storytelling is about grandeur and pomp no matter the comparison with other countries and lifting up one's own view of their own country.

Historians try to gain knowledge of the past.
People like us two will always be between the anvil and the hammer

News / NATO expansion in northern Europe - great news for Poland [136]


Indeed, there are large populations in hatred of Russia. A lot more that are careful and minds their next step, after all one cannot expect leaders of states to be cynical and calculating only ignoring feelings unless one is Putin. That guy is like a Lizard, his interview only proved that.

News / NATO expansion in northern Europe - great news for Poland [136]


That would be worst possible solution, not only would it halt progress, it would slow down or halt efficiency at local level. Corruption would increase cause decision making would be made in an area that has no clue about local conditions and people will prefer to pay money under the table instead of waiting for a long waited rejection.

Also much needed reforms will be blocked by power hungry leadership that will have access to larger armies then ever before, just not used against other states. Cause the only states left will have nuclear weapons

It will slowly dissolve over time and pop up like Austria-Hungary with too many unknown factors to be sure wether or not globe won't be blown up
