Life / Boys acting and dressing feminine, girls acting and dressing masculine - transgender teens in Poland [272]

I think stuff like the "Black Lives Matter" riots, "Drag Queen Story Hour", brainwashing children with critical race theory and gender ideology in order to get them to chemically castrate or mutilate themselves, putting rapists into women's prisons and generally gaslighting people about human biology, having completely open borders and then entirely ignoring the consequences of said decisions as things like gangs, violent crime and rape increase or even gaslighting people that it's all a conspiracy theory pushed by the evil "right-wing" while instead trying to "abolish the police", tearing down statues and taking a sh*it on the founding principles and ideals of the country, trying to abolish the maybe most important founding principle of "Free Speech" in roundabout ways, trying to ruin people's lives over jokes, simple disagreements or everyday interactions and similar might do that a bit more than lil' old Tucker Carlson with his Fox News show. Might want to do something about that kind of stuff if you want to prevent your possible feared future, because almost everybody has a breaking point.

History / Karol Wojtyla, the man who become a pope (video) [58]

World War II. A young German soldier catches a suspicious Pole and escorts him to the nearest Gestapo station. Suddenly the heavens open, and from there the voice of God is heard:

- Let that Pole go!
- And why is that?
- This is Karol Wojtyla, his fate is destined, he will be the Pope!
- Wow! And me?
- Well, okay, and you too!

Off-Topic / Russian Views On Poland and Vice Versa [403]

Remember that the soul of a Russian, if not everyone, then almost everyone, is consumed with the spirit of hatred for every free Pole and for the idea of a free Poland.

They are easily capable of feeling even great friendship and will love you sincerely and heartily, like a brother, until they feel that in your heart you are a free man and you are afraid of their love, in which the dominant element is the desire to take care of you, in other words: to have you in their power.

This is the birth defect of their soul, hereditary and several hundred years old, for their slavery, for the Tartars, for Ivan, for the oprichniki, for eternal rebellions drowned in blood.

If one's own freedom is unattainable, the freedom of others arouses envy and disgust. For centuries, we have been too painful a role model for them, a denial of their own fate. I fear it will be a long time before they understand that no one and nothing but death will take away our right to freedom...

Off-Topic / Russian Views On Poland and Vice Versa [403]

I have had this perception that Russians as people in 90s were fine dudes. They didn't want to restore their empire, knew what a clusterfuck sh*ithole was Soviet Union, etc. etc. But now I wonder, maybe in the 90s I simply didn't know opinions of ordinary Russians. But now there is internet and I simply see more of their opinions. My first encounter of them mass calling someone nazi - was when Latvia or Lithuania moved some monument (year 2006-2007 or something) somewhere and internet Russians raged about that. That's the first time that I remember Russians being dumbfu*cks. I was like: wtf do they care what independent country does and where it moves it's monuments.

Off-Topic / Russian Views On Poland and Vice Versa [403]


In the end we fought Germany together in a large coalition, but not before countless Soviet atrocities committed against Poland & Poles, of which Katyn is merely the most known, but there were many others, like sending tens of thousands of civilian population to Siberia and Kazakhstan or Augustów Roundup.

And Soviets were part of anti-Nazi coalition only because Hitler backstabbed them in 1941. Before Barbarossa Stalin was perfectly happy to be Hitler's ally and supplier.

History / 70th anniversary of 1943 Wołyń/Volhynia and Eastern Galicia Massacre - controvercies [454]

Historically it was always Russia that served as Poland's existential enemy, taking away our sovereignty and butchering Poles mercilessly. A single Volhynia massacre does not change this fact. We need allies against Russia to prevent it from gaining power. Ukraine is such an ally. We'd be utter morons if we did not support its fight against Kremlin's imperialist invasion.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]


And it isn't even about how the law is written. It is about how it is actually applied. Authoritarian governments often try to use laws that at least seem reasonable or positive on their face, but will be absolutely used in a way to crush dissent and strengthen their power.

It is to be selectively applied against regime opponents. Exactly how Russia used laws to crack down on independent media.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]


Putin and his allies fill their pockets, live in opulent mansions and palaces, keep their mistresses in luxurious apartments in Moscow or Switzerland, send their children to study abroad (although they should not be able to pay the costs of such an education from their official ministerial revenues).

The army and the secret services receive a large part of budget, but without any oversight (some of it is not disclosed to the Duma, even though it's a puppet parliament) these funds are wasted by corrupt officials.

At the same time millions of Russians live a short and miserable life in subhuman conditions, without running water, literally sh*itting into buckets, entertaining themselves with alcohol, crocodil and tales of "Russia strong". While swallowing buckets of primitive propaganda (and moonshine) they are being robbed of their potential wealth, health, future.

With its massive resources Russia could be a civilized, prosperous country that provides its citizens with ample opportunities. Due to corruption of its government, lack of oversight from democratic institutions or free media it quickly becomes a third world state that educated people flee in droves.

Yeah, right. Invasion of Moldova and Georgia right after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the bloody massacres of Chechnya showed us all that Russia is still warlike and imperialist, only weak. We used this window of opportunity to escape from the range of Russian ambitions - under protection of NATO. F*uck such a neighbor.

History / What should Russia and Poland do to become if not friends, then at least not enemies? [945]

Answering to the question in this thread's title, it would be enough if Russia stopped trying to be an empire again, fu*cking up everyone in its vicinity. This time has ended, twice even, in 1917 and 1991. Time to become a normal, albeit quite big, European country. But Russians still don't understand. That's why their imperial history has to repeat itself twice, once as a tragedy (Soviet Union), once as a farce (current day Russia).

History / Profound discovery - grievances towards Poland [6]


Poles occupied Zaolzie when Czechoslovakia collapsed, so that it would not fall into German hands and increase the military potential of Germany. Zaolzie was previously Polish (called Śląsk Cieszyński), but when Poland had to defend on the east from bolsheviks, Czechs pushed for division of the region, as Poland was obviously preoccupied with a war. After territories were annexed, Czechs had anti-Polish politics (removal of Polish schools etc) to remove the Polish culture.

Poland wasn't perfect either. The whole interwar in central Europe was one huge scramble for the remains of 3 empires.

But the west in general and Poland in particular isn't living in 1940s to this day :-) We moved on and learned our lessons. Russia didn't. Grow up Russians, your whole state is based on faked martyrology and lies.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]

Soviets lost 27 million people during WW2 according to most recent findings. However all these people didn't die 'to save Europe'. Soviet Union was very happy to tear Europe apart with Stalin's best buddy Hitler. They'd be happy to keep on doing just that while providing 3rd Reich with stable supply of war materials... but then Stalin got betrayed by the only man he ever trusted.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]


People in Central-Eastern Europe tried numerous time to escape the clutches of the Soviet Union. Berlin Uprising 1954, Hungary and Poland 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, again Poland in 1980-81. It was always stopped, often by Soviet tanks or a threat of invasion. Long before 80s there was no love for Soviet Union here. After all, we knew them better than anyone.

Btw, even Tito knew what piece of sh*it Stalin was and what a shi*thole his Soviet Union was. That's why he quickly distanced himself from SU after WW2 and never looked back.

Regardless of the model of government, in Russia it always took a monstrous form. Tsarist autocracy was a worse form of absolutism than in the West, Russian Soviet communism was worse than say, a German revolution could have came up with had it succeeded. Or what the Scandinavians did in their corner of the world. Russians efforts to introduce democracy ended with Putin's dictatorship. Their version of free market reforms led to the oligarchic hellhole we know today.

Russia is where good ideas come to mutate, become grotesque and painfully die.

News / Russian criticism of Poland - Soviet war memorial removal [332]

For the last time, dummy, neither West Germany nor Turkey had nukes. Soviet Union could easily attack and conquer them, gaining control over the heart of Europe and their prized Black Sea straits. Why SU didn't do it? Because West Germany and Turkey were NATO allies and such an attack would drag US and UK into the war.

Without NATO military might of the USA would only protect the USA. Thanks to the alliance it protected large parts of Europe and Asia Minor too.

There are many vastly different future scenarios that would all mean "Ukraine winning". In the worst case a new Ukrainian government could try to claim land within Russias recognized borders, suppress elections, stir up new conflicts with Moldova, Belarus etc.

In fact there are signals that the USA will eventually have to help Russia out of this. For example it becomes more and more clear that Ukraine NATO membership is actually good for Russia because it guarantees Russias borders.

Dude, Yeltsin was the guy who during a meeing with Polish president Wałęsa agreed to Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary joining NATO.
There is also the signed agreement that each country in the world is free to join any military coalition of its choice, signed by the USSR (Helsinki accords).

Off-Topic / Terms of Russian Surrender [116]

It has been explained hundreds of times. There is no written agreement on this with the exception of not placing NATO troops into former GDR territory, which has been kept.

Tell me, how the fu*ck can anyone guarantee a competely different country (Russia) that some other country will never be member of a certain alliance? Take the case of Poland. We literally used blackmail and we also had a very strong case (how we had been betrayed in 1945). How the hell can Russia dictate the future of a country that they literally subjugated for 45 years?

At some point even Russia was considering NATO membership and I guarantee you if they had shown the same tenacity as Eastern Europe, they would be a member by now.

But no, I think what happened was Yugoslavia happened which was yet another inherited legacy of communism and politicians in Russia forgot that the Cold War was mostly the USSR's fault. It was them who had created the iron curtain in which they imprisoned half of Europe for 45 years, and subjected them under their retarded ideology.

Law / Can a tenant change locks to house without giving access to the landlord [37]

Abolish landlords.
Access to resources should be awarded for work, initiative, and contribution. Landlords gets paid money, because they own stuff. As in, they are paid money, because they already have money. That's their "merit", they get paid today for having been paid yesterday.

Money shouldn't make money. People make money, machines make money, the earth makes money, but money doesn't make money. This is a scam.

Law / Can a tenant change locks to house without giving access to the landlord [37]


That is a fringe case and it can be acceptable.
I am talking about landlord owning 50 or even 500 flats and continuing to buy a new ones, saturating the new house market. Whoever is fine with a society that rewards so much for doing the little I do is either insane or stupid.

Landlords are LITERALLY paid for having money. They didn't build the building, often don't manage the building, rarely even visit the building in person. Most often they are paid for owning something that they didn't even buy, their ancestor bought it, or, as is the case with some agricultural landlords in Europe, they are paid because 200 years ago their ancestor stole it.

And the social cost we pay for landlords, who are always anti-reform, always retrograde and backwards in their social views, always against movement of labour, always against expanding housing (which undermines their asset value), often against reconstruction, expansion of infrastructure, etc, is immense.

Landlords are not productive, and are expensive, and we should abolish them.

Law / Can a tenant change locks to house without giving access to the landlord [37]


Let's start with with increased taxation for owning multiple flats/houses. The more homes one have, the bigger rate tax he pays.
And I think it should not hit people who inherited grandmother's one additional flat, so don't take it personally.

Law / Can a tenant change locks to house without giving access to the landlord [37]


It's the same story throughout much of the Americas, certainly all across Western Europe, and likely most of Eastern Europe as well. There are many contributing factors (this is by no means an exhaustive list):

population (since 1950, world population has more than tripled; US and Europe population has more than doubled)
globalist megacorporations and billionaires hoarding wealth and property generally
corporate landlords hoarding housing properties specifically
shrinking of the middle class, reduced purchasing power of the average citizen, etc.
bullshit jobbers, predatory investors, "free market" capitalism but with golden parachutes and tax breaks/taxpayer subsidies for the "haves," etc.
China et al. buying up properties and companies in the West
fewer government policies supportive of/conducive to nuclear family units, home ownership, etc.

Good luck and God bless, because we're all going to need it in the coming decades.

Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [222]


It is impossible to imagine how a country like Africa of that size with the richness of its soils can't even feed itself now that the white farmers are gone (strangled with their families).

Rhodesia was called the breadbasket of Africa with its agricultural productivity. Zimbians killed the white farmers, ate the cows and chickens, ripped up the irrigation for metal scrap and were starving again in a few months.

Men's lives are a product of their habits.

Men's focus produces outcomes that are a direct result of that focus.

The model of the world we are taught which exists purely to keep from hurting black people's feelings is a horrific lie that has laid waste to the planet. A fake reality and a fake society had to be manufactured to simply keep people from reaching the conclusion that black people's outcomes are a direct result of their actions. Like with everybody else in the world no matter what color they are.
