News / Local elections - anyone care to comment? [52]

why would you cheer for those crazy leftie morons?

At least they're not pro-russian like konfederacja....

pro-russia = worst option for Poland

News / Local elections - anyone care to comment? [52]

According to exit polls, results are roughly what most expected... PiS has the highest result (but less than Oct? I thought it might be higher since the frequency was a lot lower).

Also lewica finished behind konfederacja (boo hiss)

In good news Trzaskowski easily won reelection as mayor Warsaw in the first round (as did Dulkiewicz in Gdańsk).

News / Poland`s aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 10 [2062]

I don't care.

What did I say? You have to adopt a certain indifference to human suffering and loss of life to support russia.... yet to encounter a russian who cared how many russian citizens are killed in the war....

How can anyone 'love' a culture like that?

Strong men create good times
Good times create weak men.... creates strong men

It's hormone cycles, which work at the population level not just the individual level.

talking like our communism-enchanted apologist

No... communism was awful. But I've always loved propaganda art even when I hate the philosophy behind it.

The movie in question is really fun in a weird way.

President`s Visit from 1961

Yes, Odwiedziny Prezydenta

As I mentioned the whole thing is on youtube but it is a bit of a downer - no happy end..... but worth watching nonetheless.

banderite

You act as if anyone with a three digit IQ still believe in that stupid word. Any time I see or hear it it's a sure indication that the person in question is a russian asset, shill, or just a moron.

I like that "exterminated"...

Of course you like the idea of killing large numbers of people. Your only complaint about Iraq is that you didn't get to personally drop any bombs....

Is that what Russia supports?

russia supports division abroad and unity at home....

double standard

Romania and Moldavia eventual unification was the theme of Moldova's 2022 Eurovision entry "Trenulețul" (the little train) about a rail connection between Chisinau and Bucurest....

Romanians and Moldovans are one people, a biune nation!

Another example why I really hate everything Western.

Except your address.

To the best of my knowledge, no Russian ever went to ...to conquer and steal. ... to Africa

Your knowledge is pretty crappy then.... what do you thing the russo-nazi wagner group was/is doing in Africa?

Because NATO wants the Sevastopol base.

Why not? It's pretty useless to russia right now....

There is more than one father?

...yes and no.....

Interestingly the whole film is up on youtube and it's worth a watch (though it is a downer).

if you want to fish around on youtube the movie is from somewhere between 1959-1964....

this war is all about NATO from the Russian side

It's really not.... that's just something they say to gullible westerners.... I've yet to read a cultural insider (that is someone born in the USSR or russia with insider knowledge of russian culture) whether pro- or anti- putin that really thinks of NATO as a factor....

Former putin-stan Karlin even dismissed NATO as a reason for the war.

Cultural insiders all talk about the ideology of russian superiority or the need for russian empire or total nonsense like the 'triune nation'....

russian government figures are all like cheap tv psychics doing cold readings.... they throw a lot of bait into the air to see which has traction with the marks....

for western marks (like novi) NATO works and so they emphasize that with them.

russian state media (government controlled) barely talks about NATO...

Life / Examples of popular Polish music? [968]

critisized Polish rock groups

Nothing against rock but most of it does nothing for me. And.... I can't imagine just listening to one kind of music all the time when there's so much great stuff still to be discovered in all sorts of genres....

And I can often find something to admire even in music I'm not crazy about....

I've never been crazy about the song 'tańczące Eurydiki' (dancing Eurydyces) but I can tell that's a back-breaker to sing and marvel at how well Anna German negotiates its many difficulties. Amazing technique and expression.

dehumanising language

When supporters of the war (and/or putain) read that someone is a russophile but doesn't like the war/putin they don't care. They think you'll come around sooner or later and realize what a glorious undertaking it was.....

I don't want to give them any such illusions.... the people and society that have produced the war are crap on a stick and I want none of them within a hundred miles of me.

I never thought much of russia one way or the other before the full-scale invasion.... now I despise anything and everything russian and I'm not going to pretend otherwise.
