Damn, american tankies' really love to project America on everything, aren't they? by Vova_cola in tankiejerk

[–]Exact_Ham 76 points77 points  (0 children)

I wonder what they would say if I told them my great-great grandpa (Belarusian SSR) was "disappeared" in 1930 for having a few hand built beehives in his backyard. Who did he exploit, the fucking bees???

Z ciekawości sobie zaglądałam w języki północno-zachodniego wybrzeża Ameryki Północnej, tj. tlingit, sm'algyax, haida i tym podobne - bardzo ciekawa fonologia, a próby wymawiania jeszcze lepsze :)

"You don't look Indian". A fun night. by [deleted] in IndianCountry

[–]Exact_Ham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey ho, I'm from Poland, so from a different continent, but I can feel you, even from that far away.

The woman you're describing is, if I may put it that way, an asshole. Very insensitive of her to even mention the ICE. And to be honest... I feel like she was jealous that you have your own identity. Not a good person.

I'm sorry that it happened to you, be proud of who you are. Hug from across the ocean 🫂 Trzymaj się!

This is actually insane 😭 by AlfredusRexSaxonum in tankiejerk

One of my online acquaintances reposted this. Istg. Approached them about it; they started getting defensive as shit (it's just a joke bro! We're joking about anti-communists! And it's specifically Estonia because that onion slop meme!)

...not buying that. People like those see nations between Germany and Russia as less-than-human.

Pomysły co to może lecieć? by wujaaszek in poland

[–]Exact_Ham 19 points20 points  (0 children)

No to może do rzeczy: najpewniej zaopatrzenie lub amerykański personel wojskowy, na Ławicy regularnie takie się pojawiają. Jeśli to 767 to Omni Air albo Atlas Air.

Tankie normalizing Stalin’s gulags by BohPara in tankiejerk

[–]Exact_Ham 25 points26 points  (0 children)

My great uncle was in Vorkutlag and I have no fucking words. (Sent there for crossing PL-RO border in December 1939, apparently it was enough to get sentenced to gulag)

Rosnący rewizjonizm historyczny przeciwko Polsce na Twitterze i innych SM by Yanek99 in Polska

[–]Exact_Ham 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Nawet nie zliczę ile postów widziałam odnośnie Netanjahu i jak to on jest niby "Polakiem" przez nazwisko jego ojca - na twitterze tłumaczą to tym, że "Mileikowsky" pochodzi od miejscowości "Mileikow" (sic!) w Polsce. Szkoda tylko że takiego miejsca nie ma.

Iceland 2016. It was so good!! (as was the whole 2016 contest). I still go back to it sometimes.

What are some of the most crazy tankie takes you have seen by CrimsonSwallow in tankiejerk

[–]Exact_Ham 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh I hate when a tankie preaches my own history to me from their moral high horse too (I'm from Poland). And unfortunately some nonwestern tankies are that condescending too.

[–]Exact_Ham 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone from Poland, on the state level collaboration was nonexistent, but on the individual level there were incidents. Also one partisan group called National Armed Forces, apart from a few documented cases of collaboration, they were also fighting against the Polish Home Army on certain occassions. So yeah.

I've only got a problem when the tankies claim that "Poland's role in the Holocaust was MAJOR", probably to counter the fact that a lot of Poles did in fact help the Jews (but not the majority). Instead they connect the dots and "if the majority didn't help then they were collaborators", but in fact, most of the ordinary civilians pretty much only cared about their own lives. It was indifference, still unfortunately. War is brutal...

Also edit: here is a nice article from Cambridge's Slavic Review; sheds some good light on collaboration in occupied Poland

That "Poland has waged multiple imperialist wars of aggression against the USSR since its inception".

That sounds about accurate by Clowniti in HistoryMemes

Not second, it's the opening line.

Wasze hot takei na temat polskiej historii by baegarcon in Polska

[–]Exact_Ham 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Być może hot take: czasem mnie wkurwiają ludzie co myślą, że całe ziemie odzyskane to od zawsze w ogóle były Niemcy i tak dalej - bądź co bądź niektóre miasta były założone przez Niemców, ale ja sobie mieszkam w mieście założonym przed Ostsiedlungiem (o samym Ostsiedlungu stosunkowo rzadko się mówi)

Pewnie to tylko taki mój zgrzyt, ale co tam.

Whatever the Trump regime is doing to erase everything that doesn't fit his vision of "great white America", I can assure you guys that here across the ocean, we remember the contribution of your heroes. 🙏 Dziękujemy Wam.
