Life / What it means to be Polish or How to be Polish? [14]
Hmm..... let me thingk.
So, first, you need to die fighting for Poland.
Then, you must be able to recite Chrząszcz brzmi w trzcinie w Szczebrzeszynie.
Next, you should drink a bottle of vodka and survive.
Finally, eat your tatar raw steak topped with tripes fortified with smalec(melted lard). And survive.
How simple.

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]
Today President Biden recognised Armenian genocide. What a decent politician.
At the opportunity, I ran into info about the man who first coined the term genocide. It was a Polish Jew, Rafał Lemkin.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphael_Lemkin
Raphael Lemkin (Polish: Rafał Lemkin) was a Polish lawyer of Jewish descent who is best known for coining the word genocide and initiating the Genocide Convention. Lemkin coined the word genocide in 1943 or 1944 from genos (Greek for family, tribe, or race) and -cide (Latin for killing)
He admitted he was influenced by Armenian genocide.

He is trying to register it as a party but certain smart alec already did it a few months ago. Their dispute will have to be settled by the court. Currently Hołownia is thinking of registering the party as Szymon Hołownia`s Poland 2050.

Ha! Exactly, no reasonable or decent person would even think of doing what PiS rightists are doing in Poland. Did you hear that the EU decided to sue Polish government for constraining independent judges.
theguardian.com/world/2021/mar/31/eu-takes-poland-to-court-over-law-that-undermines-judges
The European commission has said it is taking Poland to the bloc's highest court over a legal change it alleges undermines judges' independence and prevents them applying EU law, drawing an instant and defiant response from Warsaw.
At last! And the EU didn`t say the last word. HA!
