OK.

But can we at least, hypothetically, say that you make thinly veiled insinuations by way of poetic metaphors?

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [648]


Some people say that Poles are xenophobic but the general definition of this word is wrong; it says: "having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against people from other countries".

But as professor Wolniewicz used to say: "Xenophobia is not a dislike of people from other countries as such but it is rather a dislike of people from other countries who want to enter your home, very often uninvited".

News / Poland says no to flood of Immigrants [648]


I doubt there are many people in Poland against EU-nationals coming to work and live here. Or against Ukrainian war refugees.

What people will never look kindly at, however, is the idea of bringing in masses of third-world immigrants.

There's only one poster here that I ignore (but a particularly obnoxious one), and that was a very good decision that I don't regret.

Sure, there's a lot of toxic, abusive arseholes on internet boards but with the especially retarded ones that's the only reasonable thing to do.

That's, of course, a matter of taste sometimes though. All the people that you mentioned being on your list I actually consider quite likeable (even if I don't always agree with them).

I see you draw your deep knowledge of Polish politics and economy from quality sources.

One needs to be blind not to see that we need a more German-like government (i.e. KO) for the war in Ukraine to finally end. Fingers crossed for Tusk whom I rather dislike, but he can be very useful for Poland at this particular moment.

Oh, well. No point arguing. One day after the elections all will be known. *fingers crossed for the opposition*

It sounds a bit racist, Rich.

However, Sweden should acknowledge one simple truth: if you let in millions of people from violent third-world sh*tholes, then you shouldn't be surprised if your country turns into a violent third-world sh*thole. It's really that simple.

"In other words, foreign-born citizens made up around 20 percent of the population in Sweden in 2022. Of the 2.15 million people born outside of Sweden, the highest number came from Syria."

No further questions, your honour.

Verdict: Sweden is guilty of leftard idiocy and is being justly punished for it.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

Hope dies last.

Regardless of KO being a liberal party with leftist leanings, and questionable views on abortion for example, I deeply believe that in the current situation - knowing all that we already know about PiS - the opposition's victory would be truly beneficial for Poland. I hope more people like me - Christians of deeply conservative views - will find it in their hearts and consciences to vote against their personal worldview preferences but for the greater good of our beloved country.

The opposition made a huge mistake of not going to these elections as a single block, and this mistake may cost them dearly, but let's keep our fingers crossed for them. PiS staying in power would be a very bad scenario for Poland.

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

What I think will happen (based on various polls)...

1. PiS wins the elections but doesn't have majority of mandates.

2. Duda already said that he will give the mission of creating the new government to the representative of the party that wins (even if they don't have majority), so PiS will have to form a government.

3. About a month usually passes since the president's appointment until the first gathering of new Sejm.

4. During this month PiS will buy themselves the missing MPs (their corruption capabilities are almost unlimited), so that they will have the majority.

5. We will have the third term of PiS in power.

As much as I hate the scenario it does look like the most likely one. :-/

News / Polish Parliamentary Elections 2023 [933]

If anyone sees an opinion poll and wonders how that translates into mandates, here's a useful tool...

kalkulatorsejmowy.pl/?pis=32.3&konfederacja=9&ko=26.4&trzecia_droga=12.1&lewica=8.1&pozostali=12.1

... and you can enter your own numbers too. It also gives you the number of opposition mandates that they would get if they started from a single electoral list. Quite interesting.

Off-Topic / The Catholic Church [105]

I read an article in the recent issue of "Do Rzeczy" in which the author, Paweł Chmielewski, makes a truly weird attempt at defending the Catholic Church in Poland after the skandal in Dąbrowa Górnicza. He claims that such things have always been happening and that it isn't really the Church's fault because there are homosexual cliques within the Church (with bishops and archbishops among their members) who corrupt priest as early as during their seminar formation, and that they later cover up for one another, so there's very little that "good" bishops and priests can do about it.

I wonder how many people will eventually come to the conclusion that they don't really need a bunch of raging homosexuals in dresses and wizard hats to act as middle-men between them and God.

I estimate the number of additional votes for PiS at about 2-3% (which might well tip the scales) thank to this. Kaczyński is not exactly known for hugging Germans but I bet he would like to give the author of this poster a long, warm hug.

Well done, SPD, well f*cking done... :-/

Tell that to PiS propagandists who will squeeze every little bit out of it.


SPD must be really desperate (maybe because of some internal, secret opinion polls) and tries to nick some voters from AfD. It's onlyt rather unfortunate that they decided to do it just before elections in Poland. Such a gift for Kaczyński.
