News / Austria's swing to the far right on Poland? [214]

@Lyzko

I was born and raised in New Jersey. The Democrats have been an absolute DISASTER for our state. Corzine as a frigging disaster, and anyone who thinks that Chris Christie is a real conservative is HIGH! Look, before I left the states to work abroad permanently, our property tax was $1,200/month on a 4,200sq.ft. home that cost $480,000. The ways in which New Jersey nickel and dimes its high income earners, or in fact EVERYONE, is insane. Maybe it would not be so bad if we got back some progressive laws in exchange, such as legalizing drugs, or prison reform. Alas, that's not the case, and whether fake (R) or (D) in office, we've found our politicians still addicted to locking up dark people for draconian sentences. More egregious is New Jerseys laws regarding firearms ownership by law-abiding citizens, often attempting to give their citizens 3-year minimum mandatory sentences for things like leaving a magazine in their car with 1-round loaded into (In NJ having a magazine with a round in it, is considered having a loaded firearm! you couldn't make up some insane b.s. like that!)....While the state was under years of Democratic leadership, our State Police was monitored by the Federal government for racial profiling, and only recently a few years ago got out of time-out.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [565]

@johnny reb

When you are so heavily invested in a worldview that is crumbling before your very eyes, you have two choices 1)admit you're wrong and chart a different course, or 2.) double down on stupid.

After Brexit I thought the EU might wise up, they've decided to double down on stupid. The Democrats suffered one of the biggest political upsets in American history, and the party has the lowest approval ratings in the last 25 years, they also for the time being, have decided to double down on stupid.

When you espouse things for instance, like Harry said the other day, that Poland was really accepting of other races and ideologies until 'people like me' started 'lying' about them. Yes of course, leftists bare no responsibility for pushing all of those fence leaning centrists to the right, and the right leaners, to the far-right. When people believe (whether real or imagined) that they are under assault, their way of life, their heritage, they will push back. It really doesn't matter if your argument is correct, or if multiculturalism is a good or bad thing (it's a proven failure now, it is decisively bad, as Al Gore would say 'the debate is over), those people will act to protect their interests. Shaming people for being white, shaming people for being Christian, shaming people for being successful, if you really think that is the way to build bridges, to condescend, to white-knight for special interests, to fight for 82 genders, police peoples speech, and to overdose the world on political correctness; if you think that will build bridges, you are sorely mistaken, but don't take my word for it, just keep on losing elections until you learn.

I knew people in Ukraine who made about...... I guess $1,200/month, and the cost of living is probably 1/3 that of Poland. You could also try Belorussia, since they liberalized their visa regime, you can at least go there and check it out. You'd not be able to go to Russia without an invitation and a visa.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [565]

@TheOther

Ok lets dissect the b/s arguments you just advanced.

1. I don't keep up on Virginia politics. However, Chris Christie can hardly be considered a real conservative, he has some hints of being Republican, but if you know NJ politics, a real conservative will never be elected in New Jersey. Nothing changed in NJ under Christie, property taxes remain some of the highest in the nation, and NJ continues to imprison their own citizens for forgetting to empty 1 round from a magazine with a 3 year minimum mandatory. Chris Christie signed medical marijuana into law for christs sake! But he's a conservative? (I think all drugs should be decriminalized for the record, I'm a Ron Paul Republican).

2. Um, actually, I emphatically said throughout all of my previous posts that multiculturalism is NOT about race or religion, as the frigging NAME implies! Please dispense with the logical fallacies, America's multicultural efforts were ORGANIC, and they formed what is today a uniquely American culture (worthy of respect I might add, I don't find it socially acceptable to denigrate American culture, while proclaiming I need to celebrate the greatness of the religion of peace).

I think we've made it clear we are against the project of FORCED multiculturalism (the opposite of organic). While America did have mass migration in the past, it worked out because the cultures who came here were either culturally similar or compatible, or they were for instance, Asian immigrant groups who yearned for cultural assimilation. That stands in stark contrast to North African and Middle Eastern migrants that not only are opposed to integration and assimilation, but then DEMAND the host nation adapt to THEM! (Holiday tree instead of Christmas tree, if you come to America knowing we celebrate Christmas, you can **** off if you think we're going to change our language to accommodate your delicate sensibilities.) The aforementioned migrant groups were culturally compatible, the present migrant groups have proven through their deeds and their words, that they are culturally incompatible with our western civilization and western LIBERAL values. I care about LGBQT rights, and I care about womens rights, and I want them to achieve EQUITY, and these migrant groups think that death is the acceptable punishment for being homosexual, and that womens testimony in court is worth 1/2 of a mans. For this reason alone, the LGBQT community in Germany is flocking to the far-right AfD in droves! That is the lefts fault, and no one elses. They are not IslamoPHOBES, because that word means the 'irrational fear' of something, and their fears are NOT irrational, and for you to diminish their voice and opinion because you want to white-knight for 7th century barbarians is utterly offensive and affront to the liberal values you people espouse.

We say nothing of Japan, Korea, Samoa, India, Saudi, or DR Congo to have cultural homogeneity, but we think it is ok to demand that the cultural fabric of America and Europe be changed to accommodate unskilled military-aged male migrants. This is rank hypocrisy, its offensive, and you can keep burying your head in the sand of the impending political crisis that will be further exacerbated but unabated migration, or you can decide to LISTEN to the constituencies and STOP talking down to them and telling them they're bigots for wanting to have a homeland with their own culture. You have at least SOME argument to insist that America take large migrant groups because of our history, and you can at least claim some measure of guilt against Britain, France, and Spain who had empires; but you have absolutely no leg to stand on to insist that Eastern European countries who didn't participate in colonialism take these people. France is the ancestral homeland for FRENCH people, a people of relative homogeneity, and what I see from the arguments put forth thus far, is that we have no problem for India to keep their ancestral homeland relatively homogenized, but Europeans don't have that right (and since leftists are so fixated on the social construct of race, one might venture to say that the white devil can't have an ancestral homeland, but others can).

We have to hear terms from you people like "White fragility," as you dismiss the idea that white people can ever be persecuted, and advance false narratives not based in reality (and in Webster's, no less) that white people can't experience racism because they are the power structure, which is literally NOT the textbook definition of racism in Webster's, as it makes NO mention of power structures. That you continue to advance these false narratives, and DISMISS the concerns of 'white' people, you will continue to push them into the arms of the right, because when they say they feel they are under attack, its probably because.................THEY ARE UNDER ATTACK. That is not hysteria, that is pretty much born out in the evidence if we analyze the things said by left wing politicians, news organizations, and editorial and opinion pieces. White privilege, white guilt, white fragility. Yes, you will most certainly gain allies when you tell people that their accomplishments really are not the product of hard work, they only gained their success because of the color of their skin.

@Syed Asim

Syed...I think the ones you're meeting are a very bad representation. The ones who will leave Poland to go to a place like Dubai do that for a reason, they are not the norm to be sure. They are modern, empowered women, so the ones who are willing to go to a place like the UAE, where women are put in prison for being raped, or most recently a British citizen was imprisoned for spilling a drink on someone and touching their hip, the ones with dignity and self-respect won't go there. You'd have to go to Poland and meet real Polish women to get a better idea of what they're like. Of course the ones who goto a place as decadent as Dubai or Abu Dhabi will be materialistic.

No one would have a problem with the current wave if they did this. However, the people marching down the signs with "Sharia For England," really turn a lot of people off. I mean for me it's a red line, when I hear it, I'm not even going to engage in debate, at that point the only answer is to use violence against them.

@TheOther

I meant to add a post script. If you are such a big proponent of the warm fuzzy multiculti stuff, AND you hate guns, why didn't you just stay in Australia? We have a way of doing things here in our country, and it is not the place of a foreigner to come in and tell us how we ought to do things. I would NEVER seek to gain citizenship in another country, and then start dictating to those people what their laws ought to be. I don't care if you pay taxes, or even if you're a naturalized citizen, you're not an American, you do not have a right to an opinion on our domestic matters, **** off.

Life / Why are Muslims seen as a deterrent to Poland? [565]

@cms

Yea, not at all CMS. While I pointed out the push back and rise of right as a result of radical left policies in Europe, I am not trying to dictate what those policies should be. The Polish position is very very clear on this issue, I merely happen to be in agreement with it. If emigrate to Poland, I do so knowing what their position is, and not trying to change it, but emigrating there BECAUSE of their policy. That is in stark contrast to emigrating to a place I know has a gun culture, and then campaigning against it at every opportunity and telling the host nation how stupid they are for their culture. Can't see the distinction?

You don't see the distinction between agreeing with a country's position, and wanting to emigrate to that country because of said position? Versus not agreeing with a country's position, emigrating there, and then condescending to the populace of that host nation about why they are wrong for their positions and campaigning to change it (2nd amendment)? One is respectful, and one is not.

If you can't see the distinction, it's not because there isn't one, it's because your social justice ideology is overriding rational thought and discourse.

I suppose if you want to parse words and definitions about what constitutes the radical left be my guest. We are referring to the proven failure of forced multiculturalism, policing speech to appease minority groups, and a generally disregard and neglect for the interests of the German citizenry. I find that argument funny, you guys like to mention UN mandates when it suits you, but when it interferes with your SJW goals, suddenly UN conventions mean sod all. Watching the British expats on here squirm trying to reconcile their left wing neo-liberalism nonsense with the conservative policies and attitudes of Poland is amusing, but bordering on the pathetic and absurd. Yes, I want to emigrate to Poland precisely because of their stance on these issues, I agree with them, I don't seek to change them or come into Poland with my holier than thou attitude believing I need to show the silly little Polish people my virtue and teach them the error of their ways for wanting to preserve the culture that they fought so hard for, enduring destruction and years of pillage and oppression at the hands of their western and eastern neighbors. How utterly offensive that must be, and then to have limousine liberals like Merkel and the rest of the MEPs in EU parliament who have never held a proper job in their life, who roam around with armed security details and live in gated communities, extol the virtues of 'tolerance' and living amongst barbarians that they themselves will never have to experience.

I see......I guess my perception is based on the ESL teachers I've met at various expat events, and to be quite honest, they either struck me as 20 something backpackers (which is totally cool and legit), or middle aged LBH's (losers back home) in Europe looking to perv on young girls and negate being old, fat, ugly as sin, and broke, with their American/British/Australian passports alone. I even spoke with one guy at an expat event who was hiding out from friggin child support. I guess there is a lack of professional standards in the entire industry, because those people I met, as opposed to a few teachers from the international schools there who remain to this day some of my best friends in the world, were extremely well educated professionals, earning western salaries and benefits.

News / Future of Polish-Ukrainian relations [560]

@Ironside

To be honest the main motivation of a lot of the politicians has been specifically to antagonize Russia. A very good friend of mine works in the Verkhovna Rada as a lawyer and policy analyst. That the Ukrainian MPs have a lack of foresight to the way it antagonizes Poland is more willful ignorance than intentional. For instance, in 2015 it was proposed renaming the street the Russian embassy is on to Bandera Ulitsa (Bandera Street). The other thing that chaps the ass of Russians is tearing down statues of the genocidal murderer Stalin. It really exposes the hypocrisy of Russia, wanting to be the legitimate successor of the Soviet Union for the purposes of a permanent seat on the UN security council, but hilariously enough when Stalin's crimes against humanity are brought up they choose one of two lines, that Stalin was Georgian so it's Georgia's fault(seriously, you cant make up the **** the Moskali come up with), or that the Holodomor (genocide by starving of 7 million Ukrainians) was mere mismanagement of crops by the central government. With that being said, I have friends working for the Polish embassy in Ukraine, and it is still considered their most important diplomatic outpost in the world at present.

Big Macs are already in Poland. People who want to destroy the culture, kill gays, and subjugate women are not. Ergo, Poland can put its own citizens first, and not add new potential dangers to the country. I previously did not support Trump's travel ban, and my position has since changed. No one has a right to emigrate or seek refuge in America, and if even 1 in 20,000 of them are radicals who will harm Americans, then I don't give two flying F's about the other 19,999 American dream, tough ****, American's first.

Yes, you as a foreigner have no right to an opinion on domestic US affairs. You emigrated to my country knowing full well the country, and if you agree with our positions you are more than welcome to participate in discourse, but how dare you openly mock with disdain our culture, how dare you. I would never presume to emigrate to Australia, and mock you people for requiring a white board be called a "presentation board," or that you call black coffe as "regular coffe," as my Australian friends have told me you do (and correct me if I'm wrong). As absolutely absurd and cucked as I think you'd have to be to change the name in common usage for something so as not to offend .1% of people who might take offense to it, Australia is a sovereign nation, and I ever chose to try to emigrate there, I'd do so knowing what their cultural norms are, and I would RESPECT them.

Ohhh boy. The arrogance of assuming that all top income earners subscribe to your version of left wing progressive social justice radicalism. It's precisely the dismissive attitude to the concerns of the working class that is pushing so many rational centrists like myself to the right, and so many already right wingers to the far right in Europe. This attitude, and open borders policies is directly responsible. Thousands of people did not suddenly wake up one day and decide to be xenophobes as you describe them, I mention as you describe them because their fears are far from irrational.

How high does the death toll need to get for you to admit there is a problem? I mean, how many innocent Europeans need to be run down in the street like dogs? To their families, to the peoples lives who have been irrevocably changed by the policies that have been enacted by the left in Europe, they care. Certainly to the 1,400 children who were groomed and exploited in Rotherham by Pakistanis, and whose abuse was virtually ignored for years at the risk of the police appearing racist, they certainly care. And most recently, to the 16 year old girl who was charged with a hate crime for using a racial slur against her 29 year old Turkish rapist, she certainly cares. You however, don't seem to give a **** about them.

Well, thats known as code switching and I wouldn't immediately attribute intelligence to how someone talks in a rather informal setting like that. Certainly in the environment I live in, on a military base, there is a lot of F-words in every single sentence, and sometimes every 3rd word. Outside of work I tend to speak with a New Jersey accent. At work and in other professional settings, my accent is completely sanitized, as I think any heavy regional accent tends to sound low brow. Indeed, I am admittedly part of the "bro" culture of lifting weights and shooting guns. However, I'm highly educated and am in the top percentage of earners, so I feel rather entitled to relax my speech outside of work. I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from a conversation you had on a train with some people who were vacationing, after all the point of vacation is to relax. I can certainly draw conclusions from the expats who I spoke with and told me their 'life situation,' or their educational background where it became apparent they were not at all qualified to do what they were doing. As my very close friends who work in the international school scene described them, people with degrees in sociology, photography, or some other nonsense field with some 4-week ESL certification whose name escapes me right now, which in their estimation hardly makes those people qualified to teach origami, let alone a language.

I'm really trying to wrap my head around cheering on the destruction of a nations national identity in favor of appearing altruistic. These countries that people are coming from are all homogeneous societies and no one is asking them to destroy their own national identities with unfettered immigration. Somehow this becomes acceptable when we are talking about European countries or countries which were founded by people of European ancestry. No one is beating the war drum for Japan to accept hoards of economic migrants and to adapt their culture to their new guests, and in fact they take active measures to protect their national identity. There is a blatant double standard with one unchanging variable as to who is targeted for cultural enrichment.
