History / The Warsaw Uprising memory. To remember who you are. [180]

Well....isn't it always that way?

Popular people count more....at least popular in the West, we still rule the news and the social media.

I'm sure there is somewhere in the world a mass murder going on right now...and we will never know...because nobody in the West is truly interested (at least not enough to do more than just shrugging).

....not many people care about these ones....probably because not many people care about Tutsi's, Uighurs or Tigrayans!

But anti-semitism is still alive and well, and many Jew-hater in the West would like to see Israel eradicated....and Israel has been a consequence of the Holocaust....deny the Holocaust and it is much easier to deny Israel it's right to exist and to fight for it's survival ("poor opressed Arabs" and all that).

It is all still connected, the very old Jew-hate and the very new...that's why it is still talked about and discussed in a way the others aren't, it's probably for many people still more actual than the others.

If Katyn would had been a genocide after the official definition the Soviets would had gone for the wives and children of these officers too...just for being related to them, belonging to the same ethnicity, to the same people....

But they were after the "Intelligentsia", to destroy a possible/probable future resistance at the roots with killing the hearts and brains of it. There IS a difference! The common farmer, as long as they pledged their loyalty, had not much to fear from the Soviets....the Jews were never even given that choice!

Only a deranged maniac

It was the horrible consequence of medical euthanasia! And that was real hot stuff back then and seriously discussed by scientists...the idea to weed out the sick and the "unfitting" with pills and injections was a much thrown around and talked about idea in this time (also in the US and elsewhere in the modern West)....that's what Hitler build on I think....Auschwitz didn't spring out of the sick brain of one lone deranged maniac, I fear....

And that's why I respect the Soviets more.

Don't! There is no need to...

We Ossis pitied the soviet soldiers stationed in the GDR....Now and then some tried to flee their "barracks" and tried to hide to just get away...

As I grew up we hated our own miserable commie party brigade but not the Soviets....we had no reason...we lived better than them and had way more freedoms than them, and that is saying alot.

But still, to be stationed in East-Germany was coveted by these soldiers, they were seen as an elite...and we had a living standard they could only dream of!

That had most occupation troops together I think, in East- and West Germany...the common soldier-Joe and the common soldier-Ivan...experiencing a tidy country (after everything was cleaned up and rebuild)!

but inviting millions of em

..."inviting" is abit stretching it....but I get what you mean...

Thing is, the people who want to come now have helped the western allies and are now under threat from the Taliban because of it....reminds be abit about Vietnam after the end...

But on the other hand, if they all leave who is left to fight the crazies? I mean, for decades other countries have fighted their war...they should start a resistance...there should be enough weapons and experience around by now...

Ach....I dunno....

History / Did Poland bring on its own destruction in 1939? [71]

It's from a book "Armia Berlinga"

Thank you, will look for it...

Probably cancer just need to be cut-off.

....there won't be much left afterwards....you can't have it both ways Crowie....demanding that Central Europeans are all germanized Slavs and want them to remember their true past and rebuild Sarmatia and still treating them like your worst enemy, like cancer...that's a truly dumb move, that way lays your defeat, the reason you don't make any progress at all!

Idiots.

Why no mercy? We are your slavic/sarmatian brethren after all....you can't reeducate corpses! Quite the contrary, the surviving germanized Sarmatians might become unwilling to listen to you and re-discover their true roots if you only show them revenge and cruelty....

Polonia / Which country is better SPAIN or POLAND [118]

Would be Spain better off when the regions would go separate if they are so different to each other (Basque)???

I mean....there are different regionalities (like Poland Germany has them galore) which add to the flavour of a still whole country... and then there are people who (sometimes) hate each others guts (English-Scots etc.) but are more or less for historical reasons pressed into the same borders, totally different people secretly (or openly) yearning for independence from each other....

It means nothing. We have 50 states.

You are abit bigger??? :)

But it still irks me....such an EU-superstate ruled by Brussels is as much a bleak vision for Germans as for most other Europeans....but still it is always told as if the Germans can't wait to build it, and not the French who want it that way...

Germans have other ideas....the HANSE worked well during its high time....the HRE was a nice place to live most of the time....these are all better examples to model the future unified EU on than a central state ala France!

One great fireworks

Hmmm....fireworks won't cut it, Crowie!

It's a war of ideas....Serbs must come forward with a better idea of Europe than the EU....an idea for all Europeans (not only for past and current and future Slavs).

A book about it would be a great start! :)

News / EU, Germany, Euros and Poland. [54]

ruled under one big blue flag by Germany from Brussels.

Since Germany has more and more problems to rule Germany I am not very hopeful about this....

Not to mention that for most Germans a strong central state with a capital "who rules them all" is also a nightmare. In our history we have been more often than not a federation, with up to 500 (during the HRE) quite independent states (modern Germany has 16). The most recent memory of a german central state was the GDR, not an experiment most Germans are keen to repeat!

A strong central state ruled by Brussels is more a dream of the Frenchies, who love their Republic also very centralized with Paris and not much more....so would you please stop the Germans for that nightmarish vision of an EU superstate?

Thank you!

A unified EU, when Germans have something to say, would much more be modelled on the United States of America.....

History / What do Poles owe to Jews? [593]

I wonder if Germans had the same problem

Actually not....where in central/eastern Europe Stetls with yiddish speaking orthodox, quite isolated living Jews were more common, in the Germany before the Nazis there wouldn't fit a leaf between christian and jewish Germans....they were the best adapted and integrated minority...indistinguishable by clothing, looks, manners, language....patriotic to boot....part of the cultural, scientific, artist elite.....an asset to the german society, not parasites....thats why Hitlers hate was so puzzling (maybe because he was Austrian)!

I read that many of the german Jews looked down their noses towards their Stetl brethren in the East...there was definitely a divide!

Thank you, Germans.

Well...that's history now....Germans are today even unable to warn the population of upcoming catastrophes, even if every neighbour and his grandmom knows already all about it....Hitler would rotate in his grave (if he had one) if he could see what has become of an once flawlessly functioning Germany!

Soon the Poles will mock us with "deutsche Wirtschaft"! :(

Polonia / Which country is better SPAIN or POLAND [118]

Those comparisons with Nazi-Germany really make not much sense, the spanish policies in Overseas was vastly different to the usual colonial policies.

The main difference was surely racial, mixing was not only allowed but even encouraged to entrench the spanish culture/religion/language there (conquistadores and priests where all men....soon there were alot of little mestizos running around!).

So there was never an enforced segregation or a brutal apartheid policy because of skin color or heritage in the Central and South Americas...you need to keep that in mind before comparing Spain with the Nazi-Germans or the british Empire!

(Of course even today those with lighter skin = more european blood are somewhat higher up the societal ladder than those with darker skin = more indian or african blood, but this is a thing everywhere in the world)

I can't imagine anyone wanting to live the life of animals....

theism (at a societal level) reduces people to the animal level...

But we are! (Animals that is)

This elevation of mankind to be the "crown of the creation" is.....well.....only human-religious hubris...so.....

The sooner mankind takes back her place as full part of the nature and believes itself no longer to be something special, some "crown" or the other, the sooner we will regain our balance with nature and the whole planet again, just my two cents.

But I'm bowing out here, that is so far off topic I wonder the Admin lets it stand, heh:)

Some brave/stubborn/idiotic people got their communion till the end of the GDR too, it still was thoroughly de-christianized during the four decades of commie rule....

East Germany became a religious black hole....and it still is!

Eastern Germany: the most godless place on Earth

....Indeed, the survey was unable to find a single person under the age of 28 in eastern Germany who believed in God.....
