Expenses are so huge for a state, it makes No sense to save it. Smarter to invest them,

Partially own to a small degree a lot of foreign companies in countries that doesn't threaten Poland or doesn't see Poland as a threat then saving up Złotówki which inflate over time anyways

You seem to argue with me as if I think it was a valid reason? I do not think killing anyone based on genetic make is a reason what so ever!

If I told you that a robber wants to steal money from me cause of him being greedy. How does that make me being greedy for mentioning it?

Or that Cows provide milk, do you think automatically I provide milk aswell? Do you mention only examples or situation you have done yourself?

History / Polish military uniforms - collar markings [69]


Polish history however - including Polish emigrants, exiles or Polonia is another matter which Russians rather won't help with. Or downright misinforms

@PawelGuzek
Do you know when he possibly acquired that uniform on the horse? He might have voulunteered to join General Haller as American Polonia during ww1 or right after to fight the Bolsheviks, the hat seem to be of Austrian style. But I can be mistaken (I would look up Polish uniforms used during 1918-1921 cause there was a variety depending on equipment aveliable and which former units from which former country he served in)

Could been U.S army in 1917, then Gen. Haller post 1918. Then Polish reborn army post 1920

News / How does Poland feel about influx of US troops? [60]


Americans in general were against tangling in europe up until 1944 due to not wanting help euoropean elites with Imperial ambitions outside of europe (competition and ideological differences to say the least)

Up until then, the main enemy were Japan and to many Americans (to whom BB rightly points out had German ancestry) felt closeness to Germans and were ignorant about European affairs. Especially about German state policies, or somewhat agreed to it. Remembering how Germany was wrongfully demonised during World War I...

Which came as a shock to first American troops liberating concentration camps, one thing is to fight uncultural barbarians who behead prisoners. An other is to find out that those same soldiers you related to earlier were fighting for a demonic like regime, then fear of turning to something resembling it went to a different height.

I have a harder time imagining Americans starting a tradition of decapetating prisoners of war. No matter how many with a criminal background join their armed forces.

You on the other hand Novi have a hard time understanding that, cause you try to copycat what Americans generally don't want to be, or fear of becoming. Cause of history

It's far more popular to stream video games via different software (twitch, YouTube or Discord etc)

I would try guessing professions in age gap 40 y.o-80 y.o

My guess it is used a lot now in the profession @pawian is most known by, but I'll give other people a better chance to guess. So I'll try with: Polish Police to coordinate regional operations and if not, my second try: patients in hospitals to be social and not be bored while staying in bed

The bible teaches to not support those who fight for tyranny due to humanities capability to perform wickedness, nor to support those who claim to fight for a good cause due to humanities capability for good.

Socialists claim to fight for good, that makes them not to be trusted. How would you treat somebody who said you should give up everything you own to help save humanity? While being starved and pointing a gun at you, clearly hungry and with lustful eyes at your wife? Think!

History / Where did the power of Poland vanish to, since... let`s say, some 300 years ago? [180]

Grain trade becoming less wanted due to discovery of the American continent by Europe in that time period started to bear fruits for states like France, The Netherlands, Great Britain and Spain (in Spains case also it's addictive downfall).

Adding to it invasions, unrest and three growing autocratic states with very negative and hostile intentions out of fear for internal and financial problems.

The reactionary forces wanting an strong+independent Poland are now long gone thankfully.

But, new relations arose. Jünckers were exchanged for Volkists

While Boyars for "comrades"

After 1945 relations improved bit by bit, but historical nuances still remain cause of adhering to a continued legitimacy.

Wether somebody wanted to burn our houses, apartments or kill our family members based upon difference in genetics or due to differences in political standpoint doesn't change much does? Dead body is a dead body, lost property is lost property.

Wether the person wanting them to do it was seen as good or bad by whoever. Results were pretty much the same, ******, sad and mortally dangerous.

Red army soldiers (simple folk) would been more respected if it wasn't instances of rape or forced down everybodies throat during PRL era to respect them. I remember my grandpa mentioning that at least Soviets knew what to do with the most Nazi scum. But, you wouldn't hear him say it out loud to avoid being seen as a commie sympathiser...

Certain way of thinking/being is seen very negatively in different cultures.

Ballet can be seen as positive, communism is on same level or worse as Nazi's in Poland. While in Russia ballet is rather positive while communism has been long very positive.

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [485]

@pawian
Ask yourselves what are women's needs in a man (the most basic ones) and what are the odds of a man finding a spouse if over 60% of young men are poor/less educated/bad prospects. Such a huge gap of men are easily used for warfare as they consider their prospects as a soldier to be an upgrade or at least fight a bit before dying anyways without prospects.

Employers/partners, the situation leads to the same issue repeatedly.

By knowing that women look for a man that earns more then themselves, then decreasing artificially the amount of money earned for men. It creates a situation with a lesser amount of eliagble men for women overall in said society (a highly successful male will have a higher selection of women however if non-monogamous) while driving more men towards evil (toxic masculine behaviour)

In the past an locked group of families (hereditary elite positions) excluded the possibility of women to even dream of joining or competing about "top rank" men in society. Nowadays such a possibility is theoretically possible and on a global level due to global communications

Life / Has feminism and lesbianism progressed in Poland? [485]


A might as well claim that increasing the financial minimal requirements wanted by women overall created (by an increased income) a disaproriate large amounts of single males who were ready for a second round (ww2). While also ignoring the need of the Germanic societies (especially French wants of revenge) during ww1 to claim an increased position among great powers.

Putting blame solely on a societies structure for it's masculinity is like blaming female dogs to prefer male authority

Off-Topic / Socialism in 21 century? [96]


In combating a single family taking over everything, and open to change.

Most problematic side of autocracies is the comfort of positions, by having loyalty and who's side you are on as only/main reason for a job position it removes efficiency, quality and creates room for bribes+mismanagement.

By having a changing leadership, it forces an administration to be professional experts in their field and provide quality services to survive change of leadership (no matter which political side rules) due to competency

Sounds more like he as in the "person" has issues.

I would have inquired as to when he started to drink and smoke, wether it had to do with lost love or not. I wouldn't ask those questions when he is near his wife (just in case, so he can be as frank as overly possible).

A weekend trip, asking how he is doing and if everything is all right. Sounds like he might be feeling lonely even in a crowd of people, maybe I am wrong tho

Again ignoring realities...
1945-1953 was a civil war going on in Poland which is hardly documented cause communists tried to portray it as if "everything is under control" you think it's without reason there were more NKVD units in Poland post ww2 then in occupied Germany?

People were starving, without homes, fighting for scraps yet your putting expectations as if the situation was like in modern day Poland today.

At that time most people didn't give a hoot if the person they were robbing, beating or even killing was, Polish, Jewish, German, Ukrainian, Soviet or any identification basically... It's called desperation!

What's so difficult to understand? You think Poles were having some cozy naptime while Jews were shipped into trains? Think again! Situation in Poland wasn't like France during or after ww2!

@Vlad1234
In grand scheme of things it's merely an gesture and sign of goodwill. You honestly think state of Poland is dependent on reperations from Germany or Poland? It's the honest truth about how to bury a hatchet, if the costs are too high (especially in Ukraines case, especially now it's rather unreasonable to expect Ukraine to even pay single cent during a crisis) then it can allways be providing as much as it can afford it.

In case of Germany economically it's a non-issue cause trade will happen either way cause of Germany's economical position and preference of having diplomatical/trade relationship with Germany and rest of EU for that matter.

With Ukraine however, any emigration to Ukraine, investments, interests, deeper bonds, alliances or better atmosphere is limited due to unresolved differences.

Poland's investments into Ukraine+EU investments would probably outweigh any Ukrainian state budget, but that also requires stability and no prospects of Russian invasions (which seems quite impossible, but who knows)

Any reperations paid to former eastern bloc members went straight to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, so I wouldn't Russia never got anything from Germany. Just not directly

Problem with feminism is it's issue with perform service (any form) and seen as bad and linked to slavery. (Servant, indentured or not)

It's an attempt to destabilise society from serving one's own country and fellow human beings due to having a problem with the existence of hierarchies (especially those dominated by men) in which performing any service creates: anger, frustration and hostility
