News / Do Poles in Poland really feel betrayed because there won't be any US Shield? [288]

It's just that fascists and soviets and nazis also mean 'invading enemies', so it kind of carries more weight. It's like being a foreign agent, a traitor, enemy. An average person would feel for freedom movement, solidarity, etc.

Sadly, solidarity with labourers may be seen by the labour unions as an occasion to get more money for free. And, the Unions are not the only powerful force which will lose money if there will be fairer regulations. So: if you are a patriot, and want people to pay equal taxes, for the benefit of the Country, then it means wanting the Unions to pay more taxes than they currently do, and immediately you are a soviet nazi fascist terrorizing the freedoms of solidarity of labourers.

It's a simple obstacle, that is impossible to overcome until we have done thing - passed a law that all employers must put the amount of money deducted by the Union on the payment slip. If the labourers ever learn how they are stolen from, and how much, there will be some lynching.

Which, again, is bad for us, because the media will show Poland as a country of fascist Anti-Semites where simple people lynch nice suited guys who must be Jews, since Poland is that cold, dodgy Anti-Semitic despotic land, and we will be destined to lose some contracts.

In short - PC is a terrible reality. It is exactly the same as the New Speak in the socialism. One words criticising the wonders of socialism and one could never get a job again, even if one survived.

Life / Customs - First Holy Communion in Poland [42]

The parents and the children will dress as best as possible to mark the occasion.
Contrary to what is being said, little will be thought of other families watching and envying. The celebrations after church will be with one's own family. People who are bothered that they have less than rich ones, should work faster and stare less.

I can't imagine how much envy and hatred there is directed to other people on the basis of wealth. (inni majom) But I would not have the event spoiled for the kid and family just to satisfy the little hearts of the enviers. The dress and jewellery are important for the little ones - and fun for the grow ups.

In Wprost or Polityka there was 3-4 years ago an article about millionaires who hide from public view by never mentioning their wealth and going to work to hide it. They live next door to you, Polonius3, and you will never be trusted with this information.
