@PBPaszportu Za młodu socjalista, jak zacząłem prowadzić swój biznes to bardzo szybko zostałem liberałem gospodarczym i konserwą obyczajową na dlugie lata.
Obecnie uważam że te określenia nie mają znaczenia już i rozczarowanie całą klasą polityczną sprawiło że już nie będę głosował.
@igorsushko When your president praises the UPA as heroes, you lose the privilege of calling anyone a fascist. That’s number one.
Being assertive about Polish farmers' interests doesn’t make anyone a fascist. That’s number two.
Number three: grow up.
🇵🇱💪
@aldolnyck@adam_eberhardt Polish soldiers fought against enemy combatants than UPA brutally slaughtered Polish, Czech, and Jewish children, women, and the elderly. Don't you dare equate the two!
@Candy_Jacobsen Hmm, pozostanę jednak sceptykiem co do multi-kulti, bo widzę podróżując po Europie, że ten model nigdzie nie zdał egzaminu.
Z pani postu wynika tylko tyle, że wydaje się pani, że wie, że Polacy to są tacy a nie inni bo mają jakieś kompleksy i nigdy nie byli za granicą.
@TarasKuzio Do you really want Polish accounts posting videos of military-age Ukrainians stealing from local shops or getting drunk and assaulting teenagers? I've seen those videos, but as a grown adult, I don't share them, because I know that not all Ukrainians are like that. Grow up!
@TarasKuzio Poland can defend itself because generations of Poles worked hard for it. Without Poland, you wouldn't even exist today. Just remember: your enemy is to the east, not the west.
@Propeertys@MariuszBsDw Zaraz będą wiece poparcia i marsze w obronie, tylko chyba sami maślarze się stawią, skoro harcerze sami nie wiedzą w jakiej partii są?
Why Poland Is So Extraordinary
Poland is extraordinary because it endured repeated attempts to erase it from existence and yet preserved its identity, culture, and belief in freedom.
Historically, Poland should not have survived. Powerful neighbors invaded, partitioned, and occupied it, but the Polish people never abandoned who they were.
For 123 years, from 1795 to 1918, Poland disappeared from the map of Europe. Its lands were divided among Russia, Prussia, and Austria, and its language and identity were suppressed. Still, Poland lived on in families, churches, literature, and memory. Its borders vanished, but the nation did not.
That resilience is what draws me most.
I admire Polish history, culture, and especially the people—their loyalty, hospitality, humor, and strength. Poland has often stood between German and Russian power, yet it repeatedly emerged from catastrophe.
In 1683, King Jan III Sobieski helped break the Ottoman siege of Vienna. In 1920, Poland defeated the Red Army at the Battle of Warsaw, stopping Soviet expansion into Central Europe.
Poles also contributed to the freedom of others. Kazimierz Pułaski and Tadeusz Kościuszko fought in the American Revolution. Some Polish soldiers sent to Haiti later supported its independence and settled there.
During World War II, Poland was invaded by Germany and the Soviet Union. Despite this, it continued fighting. The government operated in exile, while the Underground State maintained secret institutions and resistance forces. Polish pilots distinguished themselves in the Battle of Britain, and Polish mathematicians helped break the Enigma code.
At the same time, Poland suffered immense destruction. German and Soviet forces targeted its leaders and culture. In 1940, the NKVD murdered around 22,000 Polish officers and intellectuals in the Katyn massacres. Poles also faced a genocide from 1937 -1938 in the Soviet Union with the execution of 110,000.
Poles fought throughout the war, but freedom did not return immediately. Poland remained under communist rule until 1989, when resistance movements like Solidarity helped restore independence.
Poland’s achievements go beyond war. The Constitution of May 3, 1791, was one of the first modern constitutions. Warsaw, destroyed during the war, was carefully rebuilt. Poland also produced figures like Copernicus, Maria Skłodowska-Curie, and Joseph Conrad.
Still, Poland’s greatest achievement may be survival.
It endured partitions, occupation, terror, and dictatorship. Again and again, it was declared gone. Again and again, it returned.
Its story is not only one of suffering, but of resilience, of culture, faith, and freedom surviving against the odds.
Poland shows that a nation lives in its people and in what they refuse to surrender.
The deeper you look, the more extraordinary Poland becomes.
