I wish I was completely stupid, I wish I was wrong...

But by comparing you to Tusk and his ilk, and how much I see an obedient patriotic soldier is the furthest there is from you. I can only expect the opposite to increase and bagnify, meaning

Abortions, more protests and strikes, un-Co-operative state beurocrats and other civil servants. Hostile new media centres and stations popping up like mad after TVP get's shut down, so I need to go on?

@feniks

I see you consider me a PiS supporter, try and make yourself feel better by thinking you are hurting me.

Poland will unfortunately pay for this, cause "eating cyanide" infront of their faces "will show them!" *facepalm*

I am glad I just moved recently, now it will be more bland and make no difference if I am in Poland or Oslo.

Thanks for ruining Poland? -.-

That's really bad news for Poland, EU's confidence and arrogance will increase due to the fact they think they influenced the election in their own favour.

I only hope Tusk won't cancel any deals with America and start some shady deals with EU beurocrats and Putin to benefit himself and his party, cause that would more Poland more then what hurtful stuff PiS has been doing -.-

Oh and expect murder and civil disobedience to increase too -.- This is a dark day

Politics, ruse, baiting and creating confusion.
Not much new really

Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if Polish and German politicians officially «dislike each other» rhetorically and formally only. Somehow meetings aren't stopped and economic agreements aren't excactly being cancelled.

As far as I know Polish and German militaries Are co-operating and have good relations, if things were really bad. It would been closer to a Greek-Turkish situation.

USA, Canada / "You have tornadoes in this country, we have graveyards" - What is meant by this statement? [14]

I think it can be understood in terms of: Poland has few natural disasters due to having human disasters. Resulting in said graveyards.

U.S.A have very few dangers from other human being due to it's borders having Mexico and Canada mainly as bordering countries. While receiving natural catastrophes and internal turmoil.

Off-Topic / The Catholic Church [105]

@Atch
The nature of pedophiles obviously, any organisations built on trust attracts unwantingly scourge of the earth that knows how to use and abuse innocent people (especially children in this case)

You only need to look to more secluded and deeply conservative sects and blind following in U.S.A to get a understanding of it. Such sects are easily created or exist in possibly every country. Such sects nourish themselves on the discontent and rebels to governing authorities.

It's not without purpose that forces of evil, charlatans try to devaluate good, infiltrade bodies of power and use it in secret for their own wicked purposes. Because no good human being would stand for it in the open unless times return that of darkness and Tyranny of pre-Christian times.

Just as your family can gain an unwanted spouse by a family member getting the impression of have been hurt unwarrantedly or a victim of their family, a narcissist can easily be lead astray and bring in uneeded "guests" for sake of their selfish needs.

In macro scale, foreign brides, foreign temporary workers, foreign journalists or sport events can bring in uncounciouss people or born in with different or foreign approach to "host country" it only requires a few malcontent people to start brewing even on purpose, the opposite of what the society cherishes as a "revenge".

Ferments of division, corruption and abuse of trusted people to dominate them, and abuse them further for the purpose of their schemes.

I wouldn't be surprised if individual people of power, economy or otherwise would be entangled in such endeavours or loosely (knowingly or unknowingly) be linked to MI6 via people in Northern Ireland.

What a North Irelander can see as politics or difference of opinion and allegiance, can be used as a means to an end by MI6 for supervision, control and troublemaking on the lands of Ireland.

Most notibly as example of such intrusion or erosion upon a country can be example of Norway, the it's current head of state has a daughter that married a shaman...

I am deeply worried for Norway and how it is being influenced, infront and behind closed doors.

With Ireland it's just huge foreign firms using Irish lands for their buildings and workers as far as I know. Hopefully that's all there will be to it

@Paulina

I do not want to make excuses, but to think that Church in Poland was unaffected or wasn't tried to be infiltrated by communist authorities who wouldn't mind slipping in criminals or worst of sinners to devaluate and make less people be members of it is quite naive.

There has been attacks upon the church from the beginning, people's need to laugh at the church just proves my point.

Honorful, social and saintly priests who know what to say and behave when in need of it is in scarcity. Not to mention a good social background with good connections for the sake of helping their parish.

See the human being for what the human being is, not that shocking really.

@amiga500
The left in general are useally very bad at making a good assessment of a situation. I would say that life under 8 years of PiS improved DESPITE PiS and their governing. Mostly due to watchful eye of journalists and the competitional threat of opposition parties PiS was unable to fully control society and Poland was able to flourish thanks to that inefficiency of ruling that likes of @pawian so much dislikes with huge fury.

Just compare it to Putinist Russia, where good men await orders just in case to survive. While smart men enrich themselves at the cost of the public and their next man on a gigantic scale cause they know how to avoid punishment, who to side with when and how to maximise profits.

In Poland however, PiS tries to strengthen the state as much as possible (which is commendable, a state is meant to function, although preferably with as many limitations as possible in case of bad rulers)

While PiS trying to use the strength of the state (bribes, offices and corruption etc) to increase and broaden their reach of supporters and reward supporters (very useal politically) isn't commendable.

Some parties/ideologies try to reduce a states "koryto" as much as possible (very american/Liberalism stray of thought) while others try to turn the state to perform as many services as possible as the voters needs or wants to get as much as possible out of the taxes that are deemed necessary or inevitable to pay for. (Socialist/European mentality).

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [560]

@Paulina
That's because Ukrainian politicians are slowly realising that tax income, power, culture, influence is bonding more closely to Warsaw+Poland. Which is too much to their liking, they didn't exchange Putin to get Kaczyński+PiS instead

They see the long term dangers from their perspective (that are coming with high rail speed)
of polonization and possible consequences of Polish soft power if they don't do something, basically desperate reactions like Putin.

Seems like they hoped for easy and fast EU+NATO without Polish influence what so ever politically, culturally, influentially etc

They were warned by Putin (cause that's what he fears for Russia and wants to influence Ukraine from EU, Poland, NATO, U.S.A and West in general towards Russia instead.

For elites, if it's Berlin, Paris or Warsaw it makes A hige difference financially right now, with Warsaw having the smallest possible means. For most people however, it is easier and safer with Poland due to language and distance. Not every Ukrainian can afford air travel and English, German or French speaking advisors.

Learning/understanding Polish is closer at home, despite history

While the soldiers notice by comparing equipment and situation that Poland is to prefer over the west, due to a much larger chance of Poland involving itself not only in this conflict but, future conflicts. Russia is here to stay for the time being, that is what every Ukrainian fighter realises sooner or later

@Atch
Excactly, the relationship is different between student/pupil with their teacher in different countries, expectations too.

Ireland being a much smaller population have it easy to extend the mentality of being one big family.

To a larger population, (especially one with many different cultures) one rule for all creates stability, as it creates equality for everyone not based on specific background. It's different when a general rule is tailored by or for a specific group within a system or mixed group (example of Serbian in Yugoslavia, and Ex-British in U.S.A which creates tension in return)

@Atch
France, Poland and Germany has a more «magister» like form of education, basing most of the methods on pupils/students having respect for the teacher, compared to Italian model which is «studentian»

Leaving the responsibilities more towards the pupils/students in their own hands and inviting proffessors on their own (at university level, but earlier levels of schools I guess prepare for that kind of mentality in their respective methods)

For Germany to change to a more Irish/different approach (same as France) one would have to change a very fundamental take with larger and broader consequences I am not sure there is enough political will or backing to do.

BB can surely confirm if any chances of educational reforms being possible at the moment

News / Unfulfilled promises by PiS [556]

@amiga500

Yupp, basically Opposition with Donald Tusk as an option leads to stronger ties with the EU/Germany (with risk of vassalization, feared by centrist-right and right-wing which can tip the scale to a PiS victory. Germany preferring only Donald Tusk option and not showing any signs of willingness to Co-operate or communicate with PiS or Konfederacja, only strengthens this viewpoint. Basically making it worse for Donald Tusk to win)

While PiS being one of the most socialist (state view/economy) in Polish politics, behold prefers the U.S.A of all foreign states and powers. Not only due to U.S.A military complex, but also by U.S.A being to far away to notice any shenanigans done by PiS and would give PiS and Poland the most leeway and power in Europe/neighbourhood. It would allow them to be or become as autocratic and create a firm grip on matters in Poland and abroad as far as they are able to reach (Ukraine is trying to combat this soft power grab approach recently by having anti-Polish movie in the cinema and by exchanging to a larger degree for soft power use in Germany) as long as they refrain from going away from basic democratic principles, enact U.S.A like laws and open to American businesses.

Konfederacja however isn't strongly affiliated to any foreign power, but because of it's neutral/non-hostile approach to Russia. It is seen as the most positive towards Russia, and that by default put's it in to the "Russia option category" as others are taken.

Konfederacja, would most likely try and use Russia for all it is worth opportunistically (similar fashion to Orban in Hungary) but, it would doom Poland to a situation more similar to Hungary internationally with the west. However, there is a major blunder done by western press, equalising PiS with air and approach, cause it renders Konfederacja option as a "We might as well have something from Russia, if they think we are pro-Russian anyways" which is excactly what happened with Serbia and Belarus who used to be far more neutral and balancing the scales.

Serbia still tries to remain neutral, but pro-Russian sentiment is growing. From excactly that reason

@Novichok
You should try out simulation games then, it is possible to play out similar scenario's there.

Having no jobs, household or food to provide for such an increase. Naturally creates problems, not solutions. When you have 40 million positions to fill, houses standing empty and a agricultural sector in need of consumers. It sure becomes useful and profitable!

So depends on the situation

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [648]

@GefreiterKania
Problem with this definition is that many cultures are known or semi-known or have bad history with (in the far past, so it could easily have been mended with good actions, policies and politics). So it's not as much as "xeno" phobia (as cultures useally coming in, are not inuits from greenland, north koreans, Singalese or Tibetans... Instead they are Turks, Iraqi's, Afgans, Somali'a, Libyans, Algerians etc)

The reputation and consequences of those emigrants to countries like, Sweden, Germany and France is not giving them a better chance of acceptance. I can assure you that the group of biggest hardliners towards new (illegal) migrants are newest migrant arrivals. Why? Cause their reputation and future are at stake if the continued flow comes in on basis of breaking the law (by coming in illegally).

Poles are not a nation of people living in mud huts in some distant area with no possibility of reading and hearing news. On the contrary, millions of Poles have worked abroad in the west and shared their experiences, as Polish language is a Slavic language, it raindrops information to other Slavic speakers in forms of hearsay and rumours to them (that they can confirm or debunk by traveling themselves).

By reaffirming such news and information, Polish news and information becomes more and more credible and trusted (to the fury, annoyance and bewilderment of western media that are spearheading certain agenda's that Polish media find unacceptable).

So countries that have to accept and "copy-paste" western information out of national-strategical interests, do just that. But keeps their left ear on ready and are happy to talk and chick chat with Polish journalists or Polish politicians from time to time, regardless of disagreement or agreement to be up to date with everything. At least to matters in Europe and matters important to Western Europe that are thought of as "Tabu".

So, to cut it short.

Chaos-increase-phobia is far more suitable for Poland then xeno-phobia. Poland creates and has more then enough chaos on it's own to willingly import more of it from outside her own borders (this fear and policy is very similar, but different in reason to German wish for not increasing chaos)

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [939]

@mafketis
Certain values cannot be resurrected, they simply are. Just as honesty and truthfulness

The abuse and cynical use of similar propaganda has been resurrected in very similar fashion.

"Dzieci, kuchnia I kościół" sounds like a nightmare for most Polish young men in my opinion. I have a hard time seeing it as a possibility unless propagated by 80%+ of Polish women which in these times seems like an impossibility.

As long as Polish women do not demand proper household conditions, a clean kitchen and means to work there and nagging the whole church to make it so by telling men to step up.

Then I don't see that as a form of "danger" that many on the left seem to imply as a possibility, looks more like a unwarranted fear to me. It's modern day Poland after all, more like a phobic idea.

I can easily imagine all the young men being more terrified by it then women if women considered the results of it truly.

@Paulina
I decided to hold my tongue (metaphorically) upon swearing an oath. I see no other choice now then to break it, I won't mind if continue with your vile, toxins, poisons and false (empty) accusations towards Kashub1410. As I see it merally as hysteria and don't care.

However, if you start behaving as if Polish soldiers in 1941 would massively join side of Nazi Germany upon seeing "Got mit uns" on German soldiers belts, your most likely deluded, lied to and totally unsynchronized to the understanding AND mentality of Polish right-wing politics. You focus on dark side of the medal, I'll warn you. The more you feel and think about it, the more you become it. Don't let your hubris fool you into the darker side of thing Paulina.

When it comes to Ironside and Novichok they seem to be grudging old men (very normal for older men mind you) who live on their nostalgia and are unhappy about everything around them as it does not remind them of their youth, better prospects and their illusions they want to believe in. Ironside is nostalgic about his heritage, estate and all connected to it I guess.

Novichok disgruntled about everything he lost and wishes for to return (most likely close family member in form of a son, that died in a American expedition called formerly as a war, to which he does not understand why and doesn't want to and still has grief to bear. After poking him too much, he became resentful and declared an all out war of PF cause of it, due to my dislike for him. I'll bear the responsibility of unleashing it caused by my own stupidity)

Kania is very similar to me, probably an empath and bridge builder in nature. What he hopes and aims for would been welcome by you 20 years ago for sure. Problem is that this fog of conflict and war have cast rightful mistrust of anything Russian, but also it seems month by month forgetting the human nature of Russians as well.

It is not in Poland's interest of survival to antagonise unnececerally Russia as a state, people or when in form of individual Russians (which they love to point out)

However it is in Poland's interest for her neighbours to live in peace, prosperity, with as many loving families as possible and opportunity to worship God and unite Europe under the banner of the Catholic Church.

To you missy, what might seem as opression, I see clarity, order, simplicity and love.

To you what might seem medieval I see humane, to you what you see as modern, I see as revolting.

To you what might seem like freedom, I see invisible chains you do not know of and the best of doors closed by your own choices.

Przed tymi czasami to były plemię z wioskami które głównie się biły i napadały sąsiadów na poziomie wielu wiosek w Afryce. Przy udanych zdobyczy z Anglii zaczęto organizować większe wyprawy i robione sojusze z większą część innych wiosek by zdobywać więcej łubów i "chwały".
