What’s surprising? Poland’s national and foundational myths since 1990 are basically “le ontologically evil Ruzzians have oppressed my poor nation for all of human history and they’re worse than the Nazis, thank god (literally) that we saved ourselves from thay by joining the liberal west”.
So much so, that when walking with one aqueintance and stumbling upon a little free library to find a children’s book for learning Russian I was shocked to my core.
Oh cute, that’s pretty nice. Could use it, if it were in better condition.
“Why would you like to know the language of the enemy?”
I was stumped. What the fuck does one say in this situation?
That’s fucking sad… But yeah, I can honestly imagine some relatives of mine having the same reaction if I wanted to learn Arabic (I’m Spanish). Our revisionist foundational myth of Reconquista is extremely deeply rooted in society and it’s very islamophobic and eurocentrist
I mean, I’d bet it wasn’t the case (from the point of view of state propaganda) 50 years ago during communist Poland. Btw mate I see you around here plenty and I always appreciate your input, I hope you don’t mind me saying things about Poland. I also wanted to ask you if you know the band Riverside, or the song by Coma called something like “zaprszepaszone sily vielkey army swietich znakow” or something like that, some of my favourite music ever
Yes, there was pause for socialism from that idiocy. Socialist PM Cyrankiewicz even said something like iirc “Poland was historically always hostile to Russia and dependent on Germany. And if socialism will be destroyed, soon after it will be back like this”.
I don’t have the energy for this now. Just know it fucking sucks, plenty of people for some reason still believe in the American dream. And don’t get me started on the boomers, of god the fucking boomers. All of the dickride the US and everything American like their life depends on it, and every single time I have to give those delusional idiots a reality check only for them to ignore it anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I hate it here.
Also, do not ever summon the hexbear skinwalker account. That’s very dangerous, you could’ve died.
What the hell, Poland? @Lumalo@hexbear.net

It’s weird even if you buy into that propaganda, because learning the language of the enemy was always important.
That was my response then, I asked her “What, and German wasn’t useful in 1942?”
I don’t remember the conversation past that point. Must’ve dozed off after the initial shock.
Yeah Polish culture is like the forefront of NAFOism
Correct, except it goes back not 30 but 1000 years into the past (with some changes who is the big western brother usually).

No, i don’t know neither Riverside nor Coma

If I had to guess, “Ronald Reagan destroyed the Soviet Union and is therefore a hero” type of brainworms
Yes. We have streets named after him.
And nobody even dumps their cesspools there ffs.
Friendship ended with Poland
Now Lithuania is my favourite half of the Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth
It’s exactly as bad.
Do they…do they know Americans have mostly given up on the American Dream? Like zoomers will call themselves “doomers” for a reason.
No they don’t, they live stuck in the 80s and 90s. They’re really weird.
