I think you don't understand he is talking about the US

Oh, if that's the case then I'm not arguing anymore.

I have no idea how male-female interaction works in the USA but Rysiek gave me statistics about Poland's marriage rates, so maybe he was talking about Poland after all.

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 27 [1110]

Can somebody please name the worst five?

I usually ignore your most retarded questions but I'm in a good mood today and it's Christmas, so...

1. Systematic human rights violations (Ukrainian citizens subjected to intimidation, arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, and politically motivated prosecutions).

2. Freedom of expression deteriorated sharply (independent media being shut down or forced into exile, and assembly rights were also limited).

3. Forced displacement and family separation (tens of thousands of Ukrainians left Crimea due to political pressure, fear of persecution, or loss of livelihood. This internal displacement fractured families, disrupted careers, and imposed long-term economic and psychological burdens on those who relocated to mainland Ukraine).

4. Cultural and educational suppression (Ukrainian-language education was largely dismantled. Schools, media outlets, and cultural institutions promoting Ukrainian identity were closed or converted. Over time, this eroded linguistic rights and limited the transmission of Ukrainian cultural and historical narratives to younger generations).

5. Economic decline (this one actually affected Ukrainians and Russians alike): International sanctions imposed after the annexation reduced investment, restricted banking access, and cut Crimea off from global markets. Ukrainians who remained faced shrinking job opportunities, higher prices, and deteriorating infrastructure, particularly in sectors previously integrated with Ukraine's economy.

If loss of rights, diminished freedoms, coerced identity changes, economic decline and long-term displacement are not enough for you, Rysiek, then maybe we could also mention...

6. Forced military conscription into a foreign army (Ukrainian residents of Crimea have been compelled to serve in the Russian armed forces, despite international law prohibiting an occupying power from conscripting residents of occupied territory. Thousands have been drafted, some deployed far from Crimea, exposing them to criminal liability under Ukrainian law and physical risk in Russian military operations).

7. Political prisoners and fabricated terrorism cases (dozens of Ukrainians were imprisoned on manufactured extremism or terrorism charges, often based on coerced testimony or secret evidence. These cases typically resulted in long prison sentences in penal colonies inside Russia, far from families, with limited access to legal counsel and medical care).

8. Expropriation and confiscation of property (homes, farmland, and businesses owned by Ukrainians - especially those who fled - were confiscated or "nationalized" by occupation authorities. Courts operating under Russian law retroactively invalidated Ukrainian property titles, leaving owners with no realistic legal recourse).

We could also mention militarization and endangerment of civilian life and enforced isolation from Ukraine and the rest of civilised world but we have 8 points already and you asked for five. And that's just Crimea. As for mainland Ukraine... even a complete and utter retard like you realises what this war did to people there, so let's skip this topic for the time being.

Mafketis will now tell me that I shouldn't be talking to you because you're a Russian shill, scumbag piece of sh*t and attention seeking narcissist. When he does, it will be very difficult for me to disagree; but I always try to look for the best in people, so maybe - just maybe - the remaining shards of brain left between your ears will finally start working. Here's hoping.

You have statistical data, Rysiu, but you can't interpret it properly.

The fact that marriage rates declined shows that there are fewer men and more irresponsible boys, not that men stopped approaching women. There are simply much fewer real men around. I am not complaining though - those of us who still remain enjoy a blessed life. :)

You spent way too much time in Germany and now you see Turks everywhere :)

there are no stupid questions

... but there are certainly stupid ways of asking a question. Learn to use AI properly and you will be surprised with its capabilities.

approach a couple of Russians and call them Mongols, drunks, rapists, kidnappers, and murderers

Why would I do that? I am a huge Russophile. However, I bet they would prefer honest stream of insults from a Slavic brother than a sleazy, unctuous "compliments" from a useful idiot and a coward. A nice tip for you to consider before your dream journey to Russia.

Religious people are dumb

Wrong.

Actually most scientists in exact and natural sciences are religious. I understand that, as a simple retired engineer, you do not move in such exalted circles but I know personally about a dozen university professors (mostly in physics) who are devout Christians. So, once again - Ryszard - your opinion doesn't find confirmation in reality.

You still have time (not much though). Repent and believe the Gospel.

You are a true genius and an expert in semantics.

Indeed I am.

Remember that words are easily misinterpreted. For example, I generally love all humanity and always try to see the best in people, but it doesn't stop me from calling them retards and accusing them of eagerly sucking d*cks. Does it mean I hate them? Of course not. It means I care enough for them to offer such rough words of brotherly correction.

Today, men don't approach women

Oh, they do.

Incels, onanists and redpillers don't but they are retarded, so it's better they won't pass their retarded genes to future generations.

As for men - don't worry about them: they approach, they marry, they impregnate (not always in this exact order but let's not nitpick).

Why is everybody looking up when Heaven is the subject? Why not down where bodies are buried? Why do angels have wings?

You're an engineer, or at least you were, don't embarass yourself. Questions like these could be genuinely asked in the 19th century when Newtonian physics ruled supreme. After Einstein you should be able to grasp the concept of timespace and eternity, and with all the progress in modern physics in recent years (hyperspace, higher spatial dimensions, parallel universes etc.) nobody has to ask such silly questions anymore.

Actually, modern physics makes God and Heaven much more easy to believe than the simplified 19th century state of knowledge.

My religion can be condensed to a single sentence:

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

ha ha ha :)

Well, you're not following your religion very faithfully, are you?

Poles claim Kopernikus as their own

... and they're right! As proven many times on this very forum.

the Germans as their own

... and they're wrong. As proven many times on this very forum.

Is it Torun or Thorn?

Is it Londyn or London? The name in various languages doesn't matter. Toruń, Thorn, Torunium - whatever you call it is and was for the overwhelming majority of its history a Polish city (just like Gdańsk, for example - even if you call it Gedania or Danzig).

They're all about appearances without substance.

Indeed.

And before that the area was settled by Germanic tribes.

We are not talking about "area" we are talking about the city.

Your point?

My point is that Szczecin was founded and built as Szczecin by a Slavic tribe of Wkrzanie and it was Polish long before it became German for the first time. So, originally the city was Slavic/Polish. Then it changed hands a couple of times but it doesn't change the fact of its Slavic origin.

In that sense, Russians are Buckigham Palace grade gentlemen.

For some reason unknown to me Soviets always cared for the appearances of legality of their actions. Russians inherited this trait from them. Still, the Donbas referendum was as legal and binding as a referendum organised by Mexicans in Texas voting for the state to come back to its Mexican fatherland would be.

What matters is what people live now there and how they identify.

Of course.

Stettin used to be a German city and is now a Polish city.

But it had been a Polish city before it was a German city, and now it is Polish again.

There's some disagreement there.

Only if you're historically ignorant.

The same applies to whether Kopernikus was a Pole or a German

It's Christmas, Lyzko, so I will ignore this blatant and disgraceful provocation.

Szczecin was German-speaking Stettin.for centuries until annexed to the German Reich by Hitler, later taken "back" by Poland and re-named Szczecin

It never hurts to educate yourself. Therefore...

Szczecin was founded by the Slavic tribe of Wkrzanie at the turn of the 7th and 8th centuries on what is now Castle Hill. Initially, it was a typical settlement of farmers and livestock breeders; however, with the development of trade and crafts, it was transformed into a fortified stronghold. Later, Szczecin and surrounding Slavic areas were formally incorporated into Poland in 1121, and its inhabitants were converted to Christianity. Szczecin was a part of Księstwo Pomorskie and received city rights in 1243. German population started dominate in the city only in late Middle Ages. So it was Slavic/Polish since its foundation for about 700 years, then for about 450 years mostly German and since 1945 Polish again (80 years now). So we get about 800 years of Slavic/Polish history and 450 years Germanic.

And that's Szczecin - the westernmost part of Poland today. Everything further east is even more Slavic/Polish in heritage. Not to mention that Polabian Slavs (Wends) and other Slavic tribes had their ancesteral lands extending all the way to Elbe river...

Slavia

... Crow would of course tell you some kind of nonsense about them being Serbs, but they were basically proto-Poles.

So, if one day Poland went full-retard and started a Special Military Operation to regain all ancient Polish lands and restore Polski Mir, then practically all of former DDR would have to come back to their Polish fatherland. Lubin, Szczecin, Koszalin, Gubin, Radzin, Barcin and - yes - Berlin. All Polish cities and towns.

Of course, Polish SMO will never happen because we are a civilised modern European nation. However, Lyzko, don't be a retard and never deny the Polishness of all the lands all the way to Elbe River.

a) false
b) boring
c) ineffective (all pagan empires fell)

Hmm... this Trump's plan of creating a Catholic Belt in Europe might actually be quite reasonable. The Catholic countries in Central/Adriatic Europe (Poland, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovenia, Italy and Croatia) are still overwhelmingly white, Christian and orderly.

Western Europeans from the countries "culturally enriched" by third worlders are in total culture shock when they see how clean and orderly a Christian country can be...

tiktok.com/@agnewtravels/video/7537709684782894358

... it is even a Kulturschock für Deutsche...

tiktok.com/@kilian.kroh/video/7529610102916156694

Therefore, a belt of traditional European Catholic countries, resisting islamization, atheisation and kurvisation that we witness in certain Western European countries might not be such a bad idea.

But I would be really sad if we had to abandon Germany and watch them become an islamic emirate. How can we save them? That is the question!
