And the official UE propaganda was trying to convince Poland and the V4 that this is for our own good, for the 'cultural enrichment'.


He is just playing for the sake of trolling. My only concern is that he does all of that for free. Surely he should be compensated for the entertainment he provides. Court Jesters were always rewarded with good food and a coin for their funny tricks :-)

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]

When you look at the local elections of 2014 you can clearly see that "right wing" has, in general, gained popularity since then.

News / Poland's post-election political scene [4080]


Not quite so. Those are local elections which results has never resembled the major [Parliamentary] elections in Poland.

And there's also an interesting thing about Silesia. Both: upper Silesia and Lower Silesia has voted on PiS in recent elections.

Yes, that's true Johnny. I have a Swedish friend who lives in Stockholm and she is sending me some "juicy" articles from time to time about the situation in Sweden. She used to be 'leftist' but not anymore. Funny thing is that she needs to hide her opinion in Sweden and can only talk about it with her family. There's a very thin line in Sweden between voicing your opinion and being a "hate criminal" which is punishable.

I can see that you're getting angry and personal now, and I could just ignore you. Instead, I will explain it to you calmly: I don't necessarily agree with the point of this article but I'm finding those numbers interesting. Quote from the article:

"While such crime went down by 21.9 percent between 2007 and 2014, it was up again by 10.4 percent by the end of 2016. Some 83 percent of the cases were solved -- and 92.1 percent of the increase was attributable to the newcomers"

and then: "Between 2014 and 2016, the share of solved violent crimes attributed to asylum seekers increased to 13.3 percent from 4.3 percent -- a disproportionately high share compared with the state's foreign population."

Maybe those part will get 'Polonized' then. But the problem here is a federal government that has more power than a local one. One decision from Angela about building a huge refugees camp let's say in Rostock and relocating african and arabs there may change that.

The main problem with statistics, you see, is that they don't explain people's motivations and only present their actions post-factum, when it is too late to react already.

And a lots, a lots of inconvenient statistics are being manipulated with by the government. Examples: rape statistics in Sweden, crime statistics in Germany after 2015


But the property purchase by a German citizens has skyrocketed in a recent years for the very same reason!

After 2015 many of them have started moving back to Poland. I personally know a few Polish families who moved back, not only from Germany but also from other western countries like Sweden.

The reason? => Sudden refugee influx and improving job market in Poland.

And I'm talking about families with kids in schools, and not some young mobile digital nomads. A regular folks who are concerned enough to quit everything and move back.

This will be visible in future statistics.

News / Should Poland made an energy bridge deal with Russia? [122]


That's true. The EU officially blocks its members from dealing with Russia but that doesn't stop some EU members from making shady "side deals" with Russia.

Make no mistake Crow, the EU is a deeply corrupted body.

Poland doesn't exclude a possibility of making a new gas deal with Russia after 2022 when a current contract expire. A new gas diversification projects are aimed at establishing a stronger position for the future negotiations.

Life / Political correctness in Poland [210]


Religious matters are always a subject of controversy in any given society. And even when the society is almost completely atheist like France, the taboo subjects still exist. You can't say certain things because you will be ostracized and/or punish by a legal system. You can call that a modern PC 'religion'

Lyzko, I think it still sound better than:

"We're sorry for destroying your country and killing 6 millions of your citizens but we won't compensate you for that. Better luck next time.

Also, it is best if you don't ever speak of this since it is destroying our peoples morale and undermines this new form of 'friendship' that we've established between our countries. And if you follow our instructions we would let you to be our new low paid suppliers of components for our automotive industry. I think that sounds fair. Danke shoen"

@Miloslaw


Miroslaw, the question should stand: do France, UK, Spain...even Poland TRUST Germany? The answers would be quite different I can assure you.

Right now even half of the Germans don't trust their own government, which was formed after almost a half-year of pain and struggle.

Life / Political correctness in Poland [210]

Political correctness is a "foreign matter" in Poland. Either a public statement/opinion about given social/racial group is true or it's false.

If the opinion is true then nobody cares about your hurt feelings but if it is false then the person accusing or throwing an insult can and should expect repercussions.

Well, you can call that my personal observation, Rich Mazur.


Yes, I think the backbone of Germany was broken and the recent events are not a cause but a symptom of a deeper problems and issues that German population has.

This creates an opportunity for Poland to grow in directions that were previously and historically blocked by our Western neighbour

George Orwell has pointed out that "Those who control the present, control the past and those who control the past control the future."

So this is a part of a bigger agenda to shape the minds of a new generation of Americans. This also reminds me of a recent event of Karl Junker celebrating Karl Marx and Germany erecting a new Marx statue donated by ...China.

You can say a lot things about Britain but not that they have an inferiority complex towards germany :-). It was always the other way around throughout the history the history.


It is not that I'm particularly "obsessed" with Germany but I'm pointing out your typical German arrogance that lead you to disasters so many times in history.

And I will be pointing it out since you're so active in spreading false pro-German propaganda on this forum. Even in spite of a failed German politics in a recent years


The World "loves" Germans because they don't know them as much as we do. So you should separate a money fueled German propaganda aimed at improving the perception of a modern day Germany from the reality.

Why don't you ask regular Greeks what they think about you? :-)

@Bratwurst Boy

My home and my future is in Poland.

I'm a location independent specialist. I travel a lot and I learn. That's how I know that Poland is on a good track and doing well as compared to Western Europe. Everything looks more clear from afar. So you punny attempts at undermining my voice here on this forum are just pitiful :-)

Speaking of which, your [German] reputation in upper circles of Britain is not so great. While in many parts of the world being German is even somewhat almost prestigious, in London you're seen more like mechanically skilled mental peasants.

I thought that you may like to know this, Bratwurst Boy, since Germany always wanted to fruitlessly emulate Britain.

I think now the most recurring joke here is how you tried to build Berlin Brandenburg Airport and wanted to it to be as big as Heathrow :-)
