Oh I forgot to add the ukranian part when i have to interact with putinbots. Death to traitors. Even if your point has some validity anyone with a modicum of inteligence can differentiate between the political leadership and the brave solders on the ground.

It's good for your health that you fled Poland in the 60s to become a yank underclass hick, as someone would have rightfully beaten you to death for expressing views like that.

It's always the white trash that complain about the blacks and gays and hispanics and etc etc.

And? The same could be said about the Repubs in USA and you vote for them? As your previous comment in covidthread that the majority of people are morons well that is democracy, it sucks but no one has come up with a better system yet. I know there are some proposals for citizen panels and what not to evolve participatory democracy.


But their children in the villages and small towns are having a lot more PiS voting kids than the feminised godless metrosexuals in the cities that support the post-communists ;)

Using the soviet traitors tricks to chop parts of quotes to make a facetious point? the discussion was that a sizable portion of the electorate was apathetic and disillusioned with the state of polish politics thanks to the disastrous polices of shock therapy and post communism. I pointed out that voters turned out in record numbers in the last elections , the biggest since 89 because they have hope again, and this is the best you can reply? bit grumpy on friday night jon , what happened were you refused entry to blok bar for being such an old curmudgeon?

@Jon
Yes I was going to write that it stretches back to the partition, one can see it also see it as a war between those that are stubborn believers in polish greatness/independence and those that want to ally/colaborate/betray poland to other powers who they see as a necessity.

Yes that is true , though the communist repressions of AK 1945 to 51 or so stuck in peoples minds. Also i was referring to the children and grandchildren who add their own mythology to that time and their grandparents. For instance even though the communists did not shoot or jail my grandfather after the war my mum refused some order of poland because it was going to be Kwasniewski that was going to pin it on her when he visited Australia. But it's cool that you are friends with this AK veteran, prob important to jot some of his memories down as they'll be gone soon;.


The record voting since 89 show that a portion of the electorate that was apathetic and ignorant are now engaged thanks to PiS policies.

News / The ruling party in Poland tries to take American owned TV news station off the air [528]

@atch
well it's not often that I am made to look slightly foolish by the contraction in my posts but let me explain. Poland is a functional democracy overlaid over tribal warfare that has been going on since WW2. The grandsons and granddaughters of those that fought for AK and those that were part of the Communist forces are still fighting those battles today. The reason that the electorate is apathetic and ignorant is because many had given up being ruled by post-communists since the nocna zmiana of 92. (with some brief exceptions) . In fact it's PiS that gave Poland B and the forgotten their voice. That's why it gets my goat when foreigners like mafketas waltz gobbing off about Poland is turning into PRL when he has no family history here or experiences of communism.

@pawian
You are a proven liar who was caught out twice lying about the smolensk. I have proven that so I don't have to prove anything else to you since you are obviously a bad faith actor. find the information yourself .

@mafketis
Not at all. Because your statement that PiS is neo-PRL is pure disionformation. Poland is a functional, healthy democracy regardless of what boring puffed up academics like you have to say. As even the founder from notesfrompoland agreed recently. So shut your hole.

As opposed to PO and friends who
Don't like what is on TVP Info? Their policy is to abolish it.
Don't like what IPN is releasing about their friends and the history of Poland?, their policy was to abolish it at the last election.

Don't like that CBA is arresting their members and friends? their policy was to abolish it at the last election.

Are you kidding? A few days ago USA asked Ukraine to keep quiet about their protest about Nordstream 2. Instead Ukraine reached out to Poland and we have put out a joint statement condemming the deal that rewards russian aggression. mfa.gov.ua/en/news/spilna-zayava-ministra-zakordonnih-sprav-ukrayini-dmitra-kulebi-ta-ministra-zakordonnih-sprav-polshchi-zbignyeva-rau-shchodo-pivnichnogo-potoku-2

Currently US state department officials are in poland and ukraine trying to get us to come around, we are playing hardball. It is the USA that needs Poland at the moment and it is Poland and Ukraine that will get concessions and lots of money for agreeing to the American/German plan. The last thing on the minds of the american government is some shi*ty propaganda tv station. Now maybe you will see that PiS has a bit more intelligence and planning in bringing up this TVN problem now that you give them credit for.

Actually there is a much higher percentage of gays working in the creative industries, prob some of your favorite music and films are made by them. I would say gays on average are more intelligent, both cognitively and emotionally. Gays on average make more money and are more successful. Property prices rise when gays move into a neighborhood. How do you think these massive billion dollar lobbies are sustained and how the President of Canada can say Pride Month is not enough we need Pride Year? My analyses excludes the trannies of course.

So you are neglecting the historical perspective. When in 89-91 the shock therapists introduced the most regressive tax system in central europe. How can it be that the working and middle classes are paying proportionally more tax than the well off? This needs to end and the way PiS is starting to do it is not socialism 'steal from the rich' but rather sensible economic policy. tax free thresholds to 30k and raising the income limit for the higher tax bracket. In the american context this would be regarded as libertarian republicanism and you would be jumping up and down with joy. In combination with tax free for youth and lowering CIP I don't see how someone with your economic views would have anything to complain about. The increase in health contributions income level will be raised to offset PO/Konfa/TVN attacks about attacking entrepreneurs.

Yes we have glass jars from Poland and metal cans/tins from Israel here. Israeli ones very good too but only have garlic whilst the polish ones have the dill and other plants/spices etc.

Confused. So pretty much any mass produced kiszone/ogorki in brine that are sold in cans are actualy kwaszone? and only the stuff found in wooden barrels in rural areas etc are really kiszone??

You have been watching too much TVN24 again, the middle class is not people earning more than 10-12k netto monthly, that is upper middle class. In poland one can say the middle class starts at 4-5k. The middle class which is included in the 80 percent of the population will have more money in their pockets. If you had taken my advice and stuck to Polsat News you would know this. Anyway the increase in health system contribution you are concerned about will be altered to be a higher income range in further negotiations with Gowin.

News / The ruling party in Poland tries to take American owned TV news station off the air [528]


I agree, though there is the danger of mass 'renewal' feeling by the electorate after coronavirus that defies accepted wisdom. This happened in Great Britain after WW2, where despite Churchill being a adulated war hero. was swept out in a landslide. However PiS can counter that by further offering policies that enrich its citizens both socially and economically and continue build the nation through massive investment. (Which is how Labour won in 1945). It's interesting to note that moderate opposition like Hołownia is going in this direction, trying to out-PiS PiS. Polska 2050 stated policy is the introduction of a Universal Basic Income in Poland, which is like the most left wing economic policy ever.

News / The ruling party in Poland tries to take American owned TV news station off the air [528]


Well lets break that down shall we? Don't forget I grew out of a far-left activist background so i know your thought process and tricks intimately

Authoritarian: Once again the new left is trying to change the meaning of words, authoritarian means Pinochet and Junta seizing power in Burma. It does not apply to Poland, oh you will now say well look at the courts! Many countries have courts by political appointment, Germany for one, Spain has an identical judge disciplinary body that Poland introduced, yet we are authoritarian! Then you will scream about strajk kobiet and that there were some police actions, Did you see what the Macron did to the yellow vests protests and Merkel to the anti lockdown protests ? The citizens were treated 10x worse in regards to police brutality, in comparison the polish police were angels. Yet we are authoritarian but Germany and France are upholders liberal democracy. Give over!

Conservative: Well yes sure on social issues and they mouth off too much about it, but they are quite social democratic on economic issues as DW noted with their famous headline ' Poland: Where Keynes meets Jesus. Millions of families have been rescued from the grinding oppression of poverty in such a short time (thanks to 500+) than ever before. You're far left of the militant industrial union type, you surely see this yet you tow the line of 'kiełbasa for stupid people'. I understand it from traitors like Pawian , who is neo-liberal/konfa in his economic views but you should know better. Then the question comes up ,is it worth it? well peoples mileage may vary but perhaps lifting millions of people out of poverty was worth 1 percent of the population being stigmatized. (not opressed let's save that for being thrown off a roof in Gaza)

Mainstream: Well yes that they are and the banality that sometimes comes with that. But if one wants to play the game and score one has to get on the field. You on the other hand would not even admit what party you support, When I pressed you, You denied supporting/voting for Lewica as they were too 'centre' and pointed to some radical industrial workers organization that does not even have an electoral presence in Poland. It's easy being so dismissive and aloof when one is just spitting, not only not playing but is not even in the stands...

TL;DR You are wrong and I as always, am right.


Rubbish. Are you still in the north of england as you don't seem to know what is going on? PiS support has stabilized at 34-36 percent. In 2022 the virus will have subsided and 80 percent of the population has more money in their pockets thanks to PiS revolutionary and redistributive tax cuts, and the massive national investment of 'Polish Deal' is rolled out, the goverment will bounce back to the 40 percent or so it needs to win the 2023 election.
