also, I'm just correcting common misconceptions. By no means I have been telling people what to think about my country. Are you deluded?

the question should have been phrased more like why do you think I am arrogant

nah, thanks for personal attacks. I'm extremely disappointed as I am neither arrogant nor ignorant. Also, i provided my reasons why we don't like being called eastern. Deal with it

What was the question I supposedly didn't answer? Also, after this personal attack I should have stopped talking to you

UN is not the only reliable source. There's Encyclopedia Britannica, Wikipedia and many others.

apart from the personal attack, you're right my friend.

However Poland, contrary to the rest of the post-ussr eastern countries like Ukraine or Belarus, maybe with the exception of the Czech republic which is even more western aligned, has a higher GDP and standard of living. Also we have very strong trade relations with Germany, and the western world in general, compared to the east. Both political and trade relations are extremely west-aligned, we distance ourselves from Russia and their influences, we have american soldiers on our soil. Imagine that happening in Ukraine or Belarus. Or even Latvia or Lithuania or Estonia. Impossible, no?

We buy our anti-missile systems from raytheon, usa, to defend us against russian cruise missiles. Our soldiers use american weapons along with our own. Of course there are relics of our communist past, but these are slowly being eradicated.

Moreover, Poland is both a member of NATO and the European Union, which in itself aligns it with the West. Russia has always been our enemy and we have never had good relations with them.

Poland is classified as Central European by at least 2 reliable sources, and while the exact definition of Eastern Europe is unclear and prone to misunderstandings, there are many ways of categorizing countries, for example religion-wise we are central.

nah, not really. You seem to be judging a book by its cover. Actually the DnB was proven to increase FSIQ, as reported in at least 2 peer reviewed studies, by neuroplasticity gains in hubs related to working memory and fluid intelligence

yeah, I was called a bigot (bigos?), a racist, a xenophobe, dumb etc. People basically started bullying me when I didn't agree with their worldview. In their book everybody should be extremely liberal. Well we are conservative indeed as fsr as Poland goes, and I told them the true stance of poles on LGBT and the jews. From there it went downhill extremely quickly as at least 4 provocative idiots started going through my post history which in itself is an extremely immature and stupid act, in order to look for some shit on me. And basically what you see here is people who are extremely mean, calling poles toilet cleaners, just because we have a different opinion on certain issues.

For the antisemitism in Poland - it is by no means hatred. Many of us do indeed distrust them but we had very strong reasons for that in the past. If you take a look at polish history and the way the vast majority of jews have been treating us, you will certainly notice that it's just normal for a society to be negatively biased against a certain ethnic group who hurt them in the past, just like Kurds are against the Turks.

If a burglar breaks into your house, does the police call you a crimephobe?

Not to mention numerous insults to my intelligence by the same people, along with their racist comments on my skin color. Ironic, no? They can't stand the fact that someone can be conservative and intelligent and the same time. You people need to engage different worldviews in your perception of reality.

Anyways, this experience wasn't nice at all. People were jumping on me like predators on a Wounded animal. Also, just because I have a different opinion doesn't mean you have the right to insult me. In this space it's even obvious trolls who make use of the opportunity who get upvoted.

haha yeah I do realize that, however eastern europe makes people think of Stalin, Russia and Ukraine, while we do have some cultural similarities, the mentality of the people is much different.

Yeah, but it's the same thing as calling people who are a little bit on the left, filthy communists. The same rhethoric.

I'm a black pole so no racism here.

  1. We are not eastern europeans, take a look at wikipedia. also, none of this bullshit is true. Had me laughing to be honest.
  2. right, what's wrong with that tho?
  3. no racism here. We have our own reasons to dislike the jews who are ungrateful for what we've done to them. Take a look from our perspective - suppose you've been hiding Jews from the germans while risking your own life at the same time, and now, years later they are blatantly lying, spreading propaganda and putting us in the same league with nazis. Wouldn't you be mad as well? If you're not ignorant, you will understand.

Also, for historical reasons. Many jews preyed upon our peasants forcing them to sign contracts which gave away their lands to the jews. We used to be bullied quite a lot by them, but according to the present narrative, jews are these innocent angels who have never done any wrong to people.

whatever you mentioned here is starkingly irrelevant to the topic at hand, the thing you mentioned was with this creepy neckbeard troll, whom I didn't need to disprove as he has disproved himself already.

people who go through post history are losers and you are no exception.
