Off-Topic / What is a woman? [455]

Stop with all the incel nonsense,

I wouldn't go as far as calling them incels, I think that paling on men and men hating ideology, i.e.. Feminism is too much already. I agree there are crazy mentally unstable women, freaks, and 304s as well as gold diggers, but there are also a lot of really normal, decent women.
I don't know I must be biased because I like women, so that whining and name-calling seems to be evidence that in real life they are simps or gays.

News / Abortion still under control in Poland - part 2 [383]

Charlie Kirk was a convinced Neocon, but also known for racist, disparaging remarks about,
among others, George Floyd!

Your kind, commie liberal kind with your nonsense and with your lack of brains belongs to the past. Your chirping here on some obscure forums has no impact whatsoever on real life. The future of reality belongs to people like Charlie.

Genealogy / Do you consider Gorals, Lemkos, and Silesians Poles? [76]

They can go and become chłops again to the Poles.

lol! those are not feudal times. That is, they originated for the most part from Polish peasants who escaped feudal bondage and settled what is now Ukraine.

But it is strange to have Orthodox people live under a Catholic government.

Poland does not have a religious government; it is a republic, and all denominations are protected by the law.
---
Especially all the Greco-Catholic idiots

Yes, they seem to be kind of retarded. It is the Polish kingdom's fault that they exist.

You are in for a surprise if you think they are loyal to Moscow.

Galicians would prefer to go back to sucking Austrian dick, i

They are more than welcome to move to Austria or Germany. Nobody likes them anyway, they are F up Poles who pretend to be something else and do a lot of harm, forcing it.

Where was Ukraine in the period between the 9th century AD and 1991?

I have solved your puzzle. The formative years for Ukrainians were when they were part of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and later the Polish Kingdom.

because Russia's argument that Ukrainians are a synthetic people is largely based on historical proof.

If Ukrainians are not Ukrainians because the Ukrainian nation doesn't exist, they are Poles, plain and simple. How can you brazenly call them Russian? lol
We must be reading different histories,

I'm reading history, which often is as factual and objective as possible. You are reading Russian history; it is a long list of excuses and justifications for imperialist Russian claims.

throw accusations of Russian chauvinism when we say the same about the Ukrainian language

Ukrainian is simpler for Poles to understand than Russian. I have great difficulty trying to successfully understand them when they talk; My knowing Russian doesn't help that much.

Ukrainian is a different language, and Ukrainians are a separate nation from Russia, which you can recognize from history (not Russian history, as it is also political). Silesian is easy for a Pole to understand.
By the way, I suspect that one minister in the Tusk government is a Russian asset.

whole city of Lviv moving en masse to Breslau.

That is a myth. Few institutions and few professors moved there from Lwów. Not the whole population.
I remember some fool saying much the same here a few years ago.

You can call it whatever you want, and you can sell any myth to keep the integrity of your country intact. I don't care. I only mentioned that in passing.

They very much do and always have.

That is the crux of the matter. They are, and Silesians are not.

Genealogy / Do you consider Gorals, Lemkos, and Silesians Poles? [76]

many Poles act like Silesians, Kashubians, Gorals and the like are vastly different, separate races and cultures to the noble and inimitable Pole.

Ah, I have to add something.
Welsh and Silesians are not the same. Wales and Scotland are two distinct countries that have been absorbed, or more accurately, dominated by the English under specific historical circumstances. You can say they both form separate nations.

In contrast, Silesians are part of Poland, or Poles with distinct cultural (local) differences. I would think that someone from an Anglophone background is familiar with the various accents and local dialects of the English language and does not confuse these differences with ethnicity or nationality.

that he cannot be bothered to differentiate between English, Scottish and Welsh -

Most likely, he was (not necessarily) emulating the attitude of many British towards foreigners in their country. I would say karma is a *****, lol, or better still, you sow the wind, you gather the storm.
Back at you - Another glimpse into the wildly deluded mind of Average Joe the Brit, tunnel-vision fixated on his odd square country, with some very skewed views and deep ignorance of anything beyond anglosphere and Western Europe.

History / Poles should apologise to Ukrainians first [484]

We have more nukes than them

Your rusty nukes are one reason, but not the main one. That is the last-resort option. The U.S. wouldn't need to push you too hard; they could blind you when it comes to satellites, destroy all military and critical infrastructure, and wipe out most of your military personnel. That would likely be enough, as China would, at the very least, support you diplomatically.
Achieving this would be costly for the U.S. and would not be popular among the populace. Hence, there is no appetite for war with Russia in the United States.
When it comes to nukes, Russia would be completely destroyed, whereas for the U.S., that is not necessarily the case. Anyway, let the experts argue about fallout! lol!

there are allies requiring Polish resentment, right up to current day!

What are you even talking about? If you want to sound cripthic go to Egyptepistolography@mumyhelp.me.drones.ru

I think they genuinely idolise them,

Look, you are talking about some politicians, a class in their own, not necessarily expressing well the mood of the country.

the biggest Yalta 'betrayer', t

No, the biggest betrayers were the UK. They enjoyed the benefits of being an ally and made promises, only to forget to lift a finger for their ally.
The US didn't make any specific promises to Poland, only casual, and even if they go back on their word on some issues, they were not really an ally of Poland.
If they were, so was the Soviet Union.

No American politician who is sane

I'm not saying that they would, I'm saying that they could. However, you are right in their analysis of cost-effectiveness of such a hypothetical war; they found it would cost them too much. They don't want to pay those costs; that is obvious.

How does it matter? At least they need us because we have something they don't. The US could wipe out Russia; they don't need Poland for that. But why would they do it for Poland?

Scandinavia has a very good independent military industry, something that Poland needs. Depending on the US-made expensive junk is irresponsible.

Americans under Trump don't give a toss about us.

As was only to be expected. No surprise here. Only Retards from PO and PiS are surprised or still do not get it. When does incompetence count as sabotage and treason?

At least Germany is on our side this time.

We can only count on our own forces. Germany? Will they pretend to be on our side and then, in the crucial moment, switch sides?

The geniuses who rule Poland allow themselves to be provoked and attack Russia.

Our allies, with the US at the helm, would never allow it. They are shaking in their boots, so afraid that there will be war with Russia. Only the threat of war can make Russia take them seriously.

Just like a leftist person who would say

You are dreaming. Leftists always find an excuse and exception for themselves. Other people should endure the full burden of his ideology, but not them; they are too precious. That is the ABC of leftist ideologies.

Real Estate / How to buy forest land in Poland? [18]

nd I'd like to move t

The US or even Canada would be more suitable for this kind of fantasy; even Siberia would be better than Poland. We are too small, and we did not protect our forests or what little is left of them to make a cozy for some weirdos who want to squat in them.

You can buy an old house and some land in remote places where few people live; that is a better option.

News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1440]

I doubt Norway, Sweden, and Finland would agree

That is not socialism; those are countries built on the idea of a nation, and hence they promote solidarity and charity among the members of their own nation. Then, stupid Marxists come in and spoil it for everyone, as we can see in Sweden.
Also, Marxism as a philosophy states that Jews are at the bottom of all evil capitalist practices. Why don't Marxists preach anti-Semitism as Marxists?

This Kirk guy would most likely have explained to everyone how corrupt Poland was and that we were a part of Russia anyway.

He was an American, not a Pole, and his duties were American, not Polish.
What about those clowns you voted for? They are Poles, at least nominally, and in charge of Poland. They scrapped the Polish anti-drone program because of funding issues. At the same time, they voted to provide privileges, that is, funding, to Ukrainians. Now, they are looking to buy an Israeli system. Ha!
