@Torq
You also have to remember that most of their members (I see it as reflected in Ukrainian society) affiliated UPA and UPA membership with being anti-Soviet and anti-Russian and were ignorant of atrocities performed against minorities and downplay it as they deem it to be propaganda or irrelevant in the face of Russian threat to their lives.

I honestly think most of UPA did not know of UPA ideology as it wasn't main reason to join it, not to mention education level at that time as well.

Besides, modern Ukraine has a lot of ex-Soviet knowledge, gear and know how which UPA did not have in ww2. There is a obvious difference

Your a little behind on your research, starvation breeds criminality like crazy. Why did the French revolution happen? Lack of food! If you think they will change through starvation of freedom, the mind or something else, you are very much mistaken. Weaklings belong to the left

Good to know which companies think that stop paying for people to speak openly in media is a good idea (it's a really bad idea)

These companies want extremists to find No tool to speak out with (leading to radicalization and martyrdom)

And YOU pawian is cheering this on. Do you think your pupils shouldn't have opportunity to create a school newspaper, the second you disagreed with it?

Genealogy / Former Poland PM Donald Tusk - A Kashub or a German. [71]


Why Northern Serbs? Kashubs are a Pommeranian tribe that affiliates itself with Poland rather then Germany, even tho Donald Tusk prefers to give Kashubs a bad rep -.-

I didn't think Sorbs or those slavs further west that became Germanised were much Pommeranian

@Torq
I have watched a few episodes so far and plan see the entire series as to be able to fully criticise it to the dust at every possible occasion, so far it has more to do with leftists perception and perspective of modern day Poland and issues they think are unaddressed or ignored by rightists as major and important. I must give the series credit on how it showed the futility of combating the environment tho, the most annoying thing for me of course is how they butcher Sarmatism in every possible worst sense through the main character which comes out as a symbolical person of people who haven't achieved much in life and are grudgingly irritated by it and takes it out on everyone around him and blames everybody else (kind of a Kaczyński or a Polish dad who thinks he is the only one who sees these things, as in the truth from his perspective and feels a duty and his part to point them out at every possible unsuitable occasion while lacking authority that he thinks he has)

Although I must admit that most of the Szlachta were put in a positive light at the Sejmik (although they wanted to increase taxes, but were seen as minding the better of the country, but also it could had been done to underscore the tragedy and clear reason to dislike the main character)

You still expect a women of her stature to be reasoned with? They are all lost, so is their DNA. Their lottery offspring will have a tough time finding a job if they even get one.

You honestly think they won't be outbreed? Importing women will only escalate, just as passport broes increases. They cannot see the grave their falling into, cause their too busy climbing the ladder that leads to nowhere for them except for a gigantic undefeated wall which will plummet them into a grave.

Their pride make them blind and will not see reason cause they think they got all the cards and power. Foolish are they, foolish I say and write. Foolish

At least some good news in all this chaos, hopefully competent.


I am being pessimistic, hopefully groundlessly. It's just too bleak looking. It just doesn't look good at all

I have found that Wilno accent and Lwów accent the most interesting (from movies), also old fashioned Jewish accent in Polish too.

Nonsense, he is adding unnecessary confusion and tries to be empathetic towards those who live for destroying the church and drag the world to the barbarism and debuchery of ancient times.

By weaking the West like the woke and West does, it opens up for the West to surrender to the east without a gunshot being fired, thankfully the east has began moving too early, too fast, and too unprepared. So there is hope, but yeah. I will never forget the lefts betrayal of the west

Any law from time of Moses and forth, how would you view any member of your family rejecting it?

To me, in IT terms. Judaism is like group of people who still sticking to Windows 98. Cause it's better then Windows 95.

Then you got people who use Vista that was updated, attacking and complaining about the people using windows 98.

Finally you have guys that are using Windows 9 that complain about updates to it.

If you catch my drift

Off-Topic / Russian Views On Poland and Vice Versa [414]


Certain civilisations appeal or try to attract certain type of people, especially if they remind them of people who did things that got that group on top or upper hand.

Russia has a very supressing society that leads to greater need for expressing their feelings, opinions in many shapes and forms. (Same as Germany used to be and how Japan is)

Great artists and appreciation for great artists have been been found there more, compared to countries like... Luxembourg, Belgium, Monaco or Portugal

Off-Topic / The Pope has officially approved the blessing of same-sex couples [60]


You can state it again when TCC starts having marriages between 6 year olds with 70+ old men and lesbians and gay men marry each other with full acceptance of TCC which is NEVER!

Until then, yea. Journalists conjured a lot of BS

@Lyzko
Tell me, from another point of view. Yours mainly, if Jews during Moses time refused Moses and God and wanted to stick to old ways and... let's say... build a golden calf. How were they treated? Or how would you have wanted them to have been treated?

Just wondering

News / Polish final report on Smoleńsk aircrash [870]

@Bobko
I honestly think it was due to incompetence and poor decision making in the moment. The price paid was too high, confidence too high and both sides unwilling to admit mistakes or fault while level of trust was and still is very low.

Polish society honestly was expecting some kind of invasion or military action. Since no military action was taken from Russias side, I bet it calmed down a lot of nerves that Russia wasn't opportunistic.

It quickly changed however after how things were handled, later on invasions and special operations made it become a lost opportunity to improve relations between Russia and Poland on national level.

I blame both Poland's and Russia's department of foreign affairs for that

News / Grzegorz Braun extinguishes Hanukkah candles in Polish Parliament [459]

I think it's more likely he exploded in frustration over the candles being lit in a Polish sejm, after KO+the rest for what they stand for wants more of in Poland. (As compared to less of something else)

To him it was a theological no go, he no longer wished to tolerate. Before he might have been less certain and more suspicious. I think he is now 100% certain that all to the left of PiS are legitimate targets.

I see this as first step to a possible civil war if Holownia sucessfully kicks out Konfederacja over this.

@Bratwurst Boy
It's all about having pact with God, for Jews (who are still in Judaism), it's via Moses and upholding traditions defined at that time.

For Christians it is by Jesus Christ, for many Christians. Upholding Jewish non-Christian traditions, is like publically claiming that Jesus Christ is not the messiah and Jews need to wait longer (which is a lie) but, also written... (it's complicated)

For Islam it is pact with God (who they use Allah for, which is a pagan Arabic word for multiple Gods, which creates a problem translating God for Christians in to Arabic...) via Mohammed, which was a lot stricter and had more to do with traditionalism, and rules and obedience to do.

Most conflicts between them is when one tries to uplift their pact at cost of the other two or both.

In this instance with Brain, Jarosław pointed out perfectly well that this was enabled by leftists walking in to sacred religious buildings (during rituals) protesting politics. Which just enables the thought "They can? So can we!"

To most religions, leftists or leftist ideology is tightly connected with "the bad guy" using them to his own gains.
