Of course. There's going to be a bs after bs produced on this subject because the whole willkommen "refugees" decision was chaotic and ideologically motivated and impossible to defend on a logical and pragmatic level.

That's what I find so amusing when reading those arguments posing for being reasonable for taking in millions of "refugees". I imagine It must be a particularly painful cognitive bias for Germans who pride themselves to be a logical and pragmatic nation.

Instead of simply admitting right from the start: "Ok, guys we did something stupid acting on an impulse. We've screwed up and will try to solve the bad situation that we created without causing any more damage."

And what has actually happened? Germans with their natural arrogance have insisted that it was a very good decision and everyone should follow their steps. And those who do not want to should be punished. And that failed policy alienated many countries, especially in Central Europe.

I'm not complaining, since it only benefited CEE in the long term. The best way of learning is learning from the costly mistakes of others.

I hope that this narrative will be the official signal coming from Germany to Poland on a constant basis. Nothing motivates Poles more than arrogant Germans sending demand letters.


Denial is a sure way to failure. In order to change the reality first, you'll have to face it and understand it. And then to take direct action. There's never too late to learn.

Sure. Half of them have found employment after 5 years. That's a pretty strong desire. If I had such a desire to work I would end up as a homeless hobo

You know, making a stupid mistake and then defending it is counterproductive. If German authorities have admitted that they have made a huge political mistake in 2015 instead of trying to defend it I would respect them more.

But on the other hand, that approach worked better from the perspective of the interests of Poland. It was a wake-up call. It served as a warning and has created space for long-lasting socio-political changes in Poland.

So almost half of them found jobs with the substantial push from a government agency and it ONLY took them 5 years. Wunderbar

I'm only concerned that 12% of those doctors and engineers are underemployed. I hope they will soon find a suitable position at Max Planck Institute where they belong.

Well, in that case, I'm happy that it worked so well for Germany after all, and I'm happy that Poland didn't take away that valuable source of the workforce from you.

@pawian, would you be so kind to provide logical counter-arguments and generally a value to this discussion instead of emotional rants?

News / Poles say a big YES to our European Union [996]


That's where it gets funny.

Since Germany has such a generous welfare state and most of the so-called "refugees" lack both: skills and desire to work they would likely leave Poland and move West as soon as possible.

So I guess Germany would demand building fenced concentration camps for them so they would stay in Poland.

A home is [still] a private space to which a person is physically and emotionally attached. The country on the other hand, in the general opinion of culturally and ethnically mixed and socially alienated modern Western societies, belongs to "nobody".

If they only let private citizens adopt their own Muslim "refugees", nobody would invite them in.

Do you really think that social justice hypocrites would take a few young Muslim men (that's the largest group of "refugees"*) to live with him in his house with his family and would pay for their upkeep for years? Of course not.

That is why leftists pushed so hard for mandatory regimentation of "refugees" on a government level. It could only work if it was done by some agency and paid with "government money" [which is of course a taxpayer's money].

On top of that, WW2 Poles helped to protect Britain and fought against Germans in WWII, contributed greatly to British victory in Battle of Britain for example.

I paid a visit to the Northolt Polish war Memorial to pay my tribute to those heroes who stopped barbarians in 1940.

Muslim "refugees" on the other hand, only fight against the countries which invited them, hosted them, and paid for their stay.

True, but there's one "but".

Merkel has invited them en masse to Germany and presented herself, and Germany, as some modern saint BUT then she wanted the other EU countries to pay up the bill for 'her generosity'

She wanted to force the rest of Europe into taking in those good for nothing "refugees" and to financially support them by handouts for the rest of their unproductive lives.

Self-righteous Germany, always eager to bash Poland and Hungary over the so-called "rule of law", has just pushed the deal with model democracy with sterling rule of law that is China against the will of the other EU members.

There are no bigger hypocrites than Germans.

"Officials from Italy, Poland, Belgium and Spain criticized the way Germany pushed through the investment agreement with China in the final days of the German presidency of the Council of the EU, despite their warnings that the timing was tone deaf to slave labor concerns in China and risked alienating incoming U.S. President Joe Biden."

Yes, but the industrial complex is not fiction. Industry produces cars, machinery, tanks etc. Stuff in demand with high amount of added value which you can sell on international markets for high profits.

News / Tusk turning his back to idea about Intermarium (New Commonwealth), seeing only EU as future for Poland [124]

The main German economic engine is still very strong, and the whole eurozone project was constructed in a way in which Germany suck up the blood from the eurozone economies and then give away a fracture of it in "donations" in order to pass for a good, generous uncle.

And Central Europe, which wisely didn't accept eurocurrency to become full-time slaves like Greeks, had to be at least submitted economically and used as a labor force for a German industrial complex.

The hope lies in the fact that Southern Europe, especially Italy, may consistently burn more resources that can be extracted from them in a long term. So the whole project would start generating constant loss. That wouldn't be the first, nor the second time when Italy would screw up the German plans for total domination in Europe.

News / Tusk turning his back to idea about Intermarium (New Commonwealth), seeing only EU as future for Poland [124]

Sure, Germany is always on a hunt for fresh undeveloped markets, and especially for the expansion in Central Europe, so one day Serbia may become a member of this Areopagus run by the bastard generation of '68 Marxists colloquially known as the "European Union".

Unless till then they'll choke on Poland. Or better yet on South European debt. We are counting on you Italy :-)

Donald Tusk has become a full-time Twitter troll. And that's how he is going to be remembered.

Generally speaking he is on the same level as other German puddles like Juncker or Timmermans.
All of them would lick a master's hand to get a treat.

His political power in Poland has reached the bottom since even many MEPs from his parent party PO has distanced themselves from him since he retreated from facing Andrzej Duda in presidential elections.

Such people are "in charge" of this slowly dying beaurocratic-socialist organism that is EU.
Organisation which is nervously trying to transform itself into the federation and push forward in false hope of a "new beginning"

Merry Christmas! :-)

News / The Witcher 3 game - Poland's great success [37]

The game is great. At least on a PC with RTX 3090 onboard. I've got steady 60 fps with 4K res. and ultra graphs.

It is mostly console peasants who complain in reviews that "the game doesn't look as good as they expected" :-) I mean, what do you expect from PS4 or even PS5? It can never match a Gaming PC quality (especially since RTX 3090 graphics card alone cost more than 3 PS5's or XBoxes - over £1500 at this moment), and things will only get worse with time for the console owners.

It's like complaining that a Mcdonald's set doesn't taste as good as a 5-star restaurant meal :-)

CD Project has sold over 8 million pre-ordered games setting a new world record and making enough money to cover the game development and promotion before the game was even officially released! And now they're just making a pure profit. The gaming industry is the future, and that's where the money is.

Fortunately, The EU and Germany do everything to wake the Poles up and to change those proportions. First, a 2015 "refugee" crisis which dramatically shifted Polish politics and now with binding structural funds with so-called "EU values" or disciplining us about abortion laws and so on.

The only things which keep that mess together are mass media and their pro-EU rhetoric no matter what happens. The silver lining is that the young generation doesn't watch TV and get their news from the internet, where you can still find some independent sources.

Work / What is a good monthly salary for an English teacher in Poland? [124]


Good private teachers earn a lot. My uni friend is a private English teacher.

And those who are not good enough to compete on free market and work for the state earn considerably less and want to put their hands deeper into taxpayers wallets.

Some teachers work for the state and they also give private lessons for their own students which I think is highly unethical.

I don't get why people smoke this "stuff". It just makes you dumber and, with regular use, the effects may be permanent.

Usually, the kind of people who regularly indulge, are also the ones who should try to squeeze every single drop of intelligence from their brains since nature [genetics] was not very generous with them in the first place.

"Soldiers and police have been under constant threat by Islamic radicals in particular for several years and have been subjected to attacks, such as the 2017 attack at Orly airport in Paris and the Notre Dame Cathedral attack that same year."

Frenchmen basically are becoming a hostage in their own country. At least recently they've openly named their enemy.

Germany doesn't have a constitution but a 'Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany'.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Law_for_the_Federal_Republic_of_Germany

"The term "constitution" (Verfassung) was avoided (...) expecting that an eventual reunified Germany would adopt a proper constitution.
(...)enacted under the provisions of Article 146 of the Grundgesetz, which stipulates that such a constitution must be "freely adopted by the German people".
Nevertheless (...) it was never submitted to a popular vote, neither in 1949 nor in 1990.

And now my part: "...because Germany is such an old democracy which was built on the legal foundations of the IIIrd Reich and without its own constitution" :-)
