History / Poles should emulate Jews? [153]

The "Jewish" state is placed upon a land that was christian, muslim and jewish. Hundreds of thousands of Christians and Muslims were forced out to make the place majority Jewish. Those people are going to come back. The "Jewish" state needs to follow the example of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and accept the multi-denominational character of the area.

History / Poles should emulate Jews? [153]

Polonius3 assumes erroneously that the "nationhoods" of Poles and Jews are similar enough for the former to benefit from emulating the latter. Poles have been a multi-ethnic multi-denominational nation since the pagan Polanie tribe began incorporating surrounding peoples. Judaism is a religion which has adherents amongst many nations and to which the members of any nation may convert.

Polonius3 is not advocating the conversion of Polish Gentiles to Judaism (presumably no one would be caddish enough to come onto a Polish discussion forum and tell the male Gentiles of Poland to mutilate their genitals) but he is advocating that the Poles emulate the Jews in developing their intellect. However developing one's intellect was never the exclusive purview of the Jews. In the context of the intellectual development of Poland we see that Polish Jews founded yeshivas and honed their intellect on the interpretation and disputation of their bronze age Torah and its various commentaries, but it was Non-Jewish Poles who founded the venerable Universities at Krakow and elsewhere in the Poland, and these were places devoted to universal learning rather than the merely theological variety, thus when it comes to truly valuable intellectual development Polish Gentiles have their own models to emulate and they don't need Jewish ones.

Emulating Jewish nepotism and usury are plainly horrible suggestions, as is taking Poland down the racist ethno-centric path that the "Jewish State" in Palestine is on, and as for that entity's soldiers they are indeed pussies. They wear so much gear that they look like scared clowns when they go about enforcing their Jewish supremacy upon the Non-Jewish natives. Poles shouldn't emulate Jews, but the Arabs of Palestine should follow the Polish trajectory which will lead to their liberation in a multi-ethnic state where people of all religions have citizenship and equal rights.

Life / Sci-fi / Fantasy books in Polish? [12]

Not all of Stanisław Lem's book's are so called "hard" science fiction. His book entitled 'His Master's Voice' is quite challenging, but he also has more accessible novels such as 'The Cyberiad', and my personal favorite 'Return From the Stars'. I recommend you purchase the latter for your son. Besides which at 16 he is too old to be reading the childish Harry Potter series. Harry Potter is an exercise in Anglo wimpiness. As a Pole I'm sure you want your son to be better than that. The 'Futurological Congress' is also a great read, and although it concerns drug induced hallucinations, I know as a Polish-American that our people's ability to thrive on strong inebriants is much greater than most others. Your son should read Stanisław Lem!

Life / Polish Film World and Poland Movie Reviews [30]

Many great film directors cite a Polish movie as the best film of all time. It is based on Jan Potacki's French novel, and it is called the "Saragossa Manuscript". It is quite surreal and full of topless Polish beauties.

History / What are Poland's pagan roots? [62]

Unfortunately as the Poles had no writing while pagan, and thus we know very little about the peculiarities of their faith. We do know the names of several gods and goddesses but, as Georges Dumezil wrote on this topic, a list of names is not a mythology. The so called "Book of Veles" has been exposed as a fraud.

That being said the familial resemblance of the various Indo-European cultures is apparent in their mythologies as well. By examining less obscured branches of paganism one can make assumptions about Poland's. Dumezil inferred that the Slavs resembled the Germans having a mercurial god head their pantheon. This would be Svarog who thus corresponds to the Nordic Odin, and the Aryan Varuna. Etymology shows clearly that the name Svarog is of Iranian origin, and so the Sarmatian ancestory that Poles claim may be in fact be the case.

Poland's former partner Lithuania being the last country in Europe to abandon paganism has much more known about its indigenous faith, snake worship and all!
