You are trying to point out a mere technicality in the number of processed and approved asylum applications. Tomorrow the Polish government could decide it will grant all 1 million Ukrainians currently working and residing within their borders asylum status. That would warm my heart, as it would take the wind out of the sails of statists like yourself who actually think that countries who voted for an ECONOMIC UNION, should have their own internal POLITICAL affairs dictated to it by MEP's, who are often times obscure political hacks and failures in their own countries. The level of arrogance and condescension in your posts is truly unparalleled.
I'm not sure why we are really even having this argument. You can certainly engage in these mental gymnastics, but the stark reality is that Poland will not take one single refugee from one of these countries with 7th century cultural ideologies. You could certainly continue to be an ideologue on this issue, but really there are two points on why you shouldn't. 1) Poland is not going to comply. so the union in continuing to try to push this hardship onto Poland is only going to make itself like impudent to the rest of the member states. 2) As I stated previously, these policies are doing nothing to stem the rise of far-right politicians in Europe. We are all doomed if you think that in the last 2 years people are suddenly 'more racist' or 'more xenophobic' than they were 2 years ago. I liken this to the way people view large corporations, well prices have gone up because of the "greed on wall street." As if that is some sort of variable, when in fact greed is a constant.
I take significant issue with this world view because it has a sort of arrogance attached to it, that says to just 'shut up,' because you are not 'enlightened' like ME, you just don't know enough about the subject like ME. Really it is virtue signalling of the highest order, and to be honest people don't appreciate it. I know that leftists are accustomed to getting away with this behavior when they speak to people who aren't very well educated on these topics, and they throw out some buzz words and try to assert some ostensible superiority over that person.
If you want to engage in constructive dialogue about these issues, I would really enjoy that, as you are at least well informed in your own regard. We can at least address some of these points on their merits, rather than just saying "this is the decision, you little Polish people will like it!" (I'm not Polish by the way).
