History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [515]

@Novichok
Thank goodness you are not a decision maker, and have no sway of anything important. You are still blaming the victim, Poles were not able to decide their fate much. Yet you seem to behave like Poland had a standing army in Poland a collaboration government with Germany, which is pure fiction.

Whatever Germany decided on those lands, there was very little that could been done.

When somebody comes you with an option of working to death or be killed, you can't be taken seriously if you say everyone should chose working to death. Because they have cookies!! You are not making any sense with your arguments and come off more naive then a child

History / Warsaw Rising 1944 - National Disaster or Triumph of Spirit ? [515]


Are you being serious? This on the level of: «Polish should had just surrendered in 1939 to the Germans and accept them as their overlords to let them do whatever they please» You are nuts!

Besides it was the Soviet Union who riled up to do a uprising via radio and Polish underground army attacked the Wehrmacht AND sides the red army on the frontline outside of Warsaw in various locations only to cheer with red army soldiers before AK soldiers being transferred to People's Army while officers shot or arrested at best by the NKVD.

It was the Soviet Union that stopped broadcasting about liberation and rising up against the Germans when the rising began. It was your «favorite country» that goaded the most to start the uprising...

Any more nonsense?

Not to mention that when Soviets talked about liberation of Poland it was within Marxist terms, of looting shops, killing shopowners and capitalists (big and small), aristocrats, beaurocrats and clergy to "liberate the opressed people"

Life / Clothes and Fashion Polish style - then, now whenever! [25]

Both clothes in middle seem mediocre at best and nothing of interest really. Would been secretly horried if a women in my circles bought AND wore them. On right and left seem to be proper lengte, but I am not a fan of dots on dresses and not sure what to say about the dresses armslength either, but passable. Nothing «Wow!» about them tho.

Solo picture further down however reminds of certain fashion during 1920's and looks almost shining without glitter. Clearly best

History / What do Poles owe to Germans? [451]

@Bratwurst Boy
Probably all posters who: Who know German, likes to speak German or is Germanophilic or has any forms of big and small connections with German language, culture or German state.

Germany (Just as Austria and Russia) is symbolically understood as black crows due to their double headed eagles or Prussia's later Germany single headed black eagle. Hence why use of nest, with double connotation and mixed meaning of "den of thieves, nest of thieves" in English. This despite the stereotypical view of Poles as criminals, especially as car thieves in Germany.

One of the reasons Polish criminals feel free or even legitimate for such actions is the small or meagre measures of punishments caused by general view of Germans and Germany, which contrasts and sabotages financial sectors and productive sectors in Poland who try to have economical fair deals with Germany.

Why criminal elements or ordinary people feel like it's no biggie to do crime if reward is big enough and risk is low enough? Due to historical animosities that is not seen as settled.

There was a lot of art, treasures and valuables that were taken out of Poland at end of ww1, but also later on in greater scale during ww2. A lot of it ended up in U.S.A. But not all, this approach of trying to put it under the carpet does not work and me myself feel it when anything unfair happens towards Germans or Germany (but also Swedes and Sweden) I tend to think" Well they deserve it, asked for it by continuing to behave like that.

It's easier to steal from a thief, since you expect the thief to steal from you regardless.

KO tries to avoid conflict so they don't want to take up this taboo really. While it creates frustration and irritation for PiS and just wants it fixed and done with (but also win political support, duh they are a political party)

Hence use of word "nest" in my opinion

History / Poland's January Uprisings of 1863 [86]


Also it was a question of legitimacy, if the Szlachta had not resisted. It would be proof of accepting Tsars position as head of state, not only as a reality on tve ground. Him having a larger army, but also the silent support of the Aristocracy. It can be compared to Catholic Church position in Bohemia while under Austrian rule. It was considered Austrian influenced and not Czech.

The antagonism and hostility between Szlachta, peasents, middle class, intelligentsia would have only increased and created a far larger split for the German Kaiser, Austrian Kaiser and Russian Tsar to use as they saw fit. It would have much larger breeding ground for communism later on too.

The failure of the uprising was also a hard lesson that was learned from, with a new pragmatic approach later on that bore fruit at the end of ww1 and knowledge learned being used during interwar period.

It's a part of a chain of events that was one of the worst and more painful to bare for those involved

@pawian
And anyone in knowledge of the EU know that the EU parlament has very little power of influence at all, so if it's full of rightists, leftists, greenies or what it is irrelevant regarding anything important. Cause the decisionmakers are sent by national governments (preferably those one wants to Get rid out of the political landscape) and chosen among themselves, not by voters.

EU has some democratic elements but, is not democratic at all.

There used to be digital entertainment (World of Tanks) that I boycotted until they threw them out of their own country. Now I feel no guilt over paying for any tank driving entertainment if I wished for it.

If you search hard enough there is something to buy, but on individual level. State actors don't have much to buy from Belarus, and that's where the big money is after all. Must be driving Lukashenka nuts, especially as he is throwing away his very few small golden eggs he had at the Polish border...

@Ironside


Indeed, one can easily argue that both state count more as foreign implants more so then either culture due to states moving in. (Silesia, Prussia, Pommerania are best examples of it. Where people chose or sided with German or Polish nation out of a plethora of reasons. Mainly safety, prospects and economy. Not only tho)
