@Ironside
ABW probably wanting to make it harder for Tusk to change too much with them cause they are: " Working so hard and effective in finding threats from foreign states! Just ask the media" kind of gimmick.
Wouldn't be surprised if more and more Polish institutions gonna be working extremely hard suddenly and be very friendly with every journalist in Poland and showing best possible results everywhere they can find it. Huge opportunity to improve peoples careers if they aid current managers or bosses in making them stay in their positions with TVP as horror and nightmare example

@Torq
So your thinking about group mentality and "instinct" what a certain amount of people do while grouped together without question and/or without much willingness to contest it and easily subdued by group pressure compared to other things or values that no group pressure would help?
That's what differentiates one group from another Torq!!! This is why we talk about Ukrainians and not Poles! Ukrainians have a more savage streak then Poles! Just as anybody more east of Ukraine too! Why do you think the more east you go people are more willing to have a central authority?! To keep this savagery at bay of course!
Ukrainians want to change and are willing to, as far as shedding blood for it (with many trying to be smart about it and outplay U.S.A, Europe, Poland and Russia at the same time to everyone's dissatisfaction but, that is ALSO part of Ukrainians!)
I just don't get it, you really think everyone around are like Poles? Or even close? Many people mistakenly attribute cultural values as human values (I have seen this among Poles and Norwegians, which I just *facepalm* and shame my head around internally). It seems like you are going through this right now with this thread.
So I am warning you and trying to tell you. Do not expect Germans to be Polish, do not expect Ukrainians to be Polish, do not expect Russians to be Polish.
Expect Russians to be Russians, Ukrainians to be Ukrainians and Germans to be Germans.
You cannot change their core (God can as proven with Polish history) so no use focusing on that.
One can influence the flavour, change a few ingredients. Cake is still cake, bread is bread and oranges are oranges

Off-Topic / Has Palestine ever existed? [68]
@Miloslaw
It started as an attempt by a Roman Emperor to destroy Israel and it's legality. A failed attempt due to his lack of knowledge of how Israel's legality changed and basically became indestructible. It's people now roaming the entire earth basically comparingly to the population of China.
So both Palestine and "Modern state of Israel" have no legitimacy really to the same land they claim.
Problem is both people have the same problem and issue, that it's potentially more dangerous or worse in the hands of it's neighbours or elsewhere longterm. Which is why both fight tooth and nail over the same area.
@Poloniusz
Poland took a pragmatic approach, seeing it as necessary is my guess. Not much about ideology or legitimacy in Poland's policy in this

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

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)

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