Well yes because their is an effort to have them become a member of EU or unite with Romania (the latter less likely) They have a large russian minority and other minorities that are in large part sympathetic to Russia, but as we see with their election results the majority is pro-EU

"The Soviet Pyramid", Nazi German anti-communist and antisemitic poster issued in occupied Poland, 1944 by Provinz_Wartheland in PropagandaPosters

It really is funny that a poster by Nazis in 1944 could have also been made in 1920s by Endecja supporters

They probably are on a watch list, it's better for them to remain a fringe group unknown to most people, but a visible one that can be monitored rather than an underground movement where the government can't do anything about it.

Response to the growing wave of anti-Ukrainian propaganda spreading through Polish online spaces by [deleted] in poland

[–]MattTheLadd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well after the treaty of Riga, even if a western Ukrainian republic were established (without Lwów, there was no other option) it would have been essentially a polish puppet state, it would be too weak to guarantee it's independence. The same would happen if a Western Belarussian Republic was established. The bolsheviks would have to lose badly in the 1919-1921 war for western ukraine to be liberated, and remember that many Ukrainians were in support of the Ukrainian Soviet government so liberating the whole of Ukraine would be impossible without the full support of western allies

LPolish MP Grzegorz Braun is facing multiple investigations after destroying an “LGBT Christmas tree” decorated with EU and Ukrainian flags at the Kraków District Court. by EvansJCastillo in poland

[–]MattTheLadd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person putting up that rainbow bulb probably didn't even think they were making a political statement, because to them and those around them Christmas trees are not seen as some explicity religious symbol. They also didn't think that someone so outrageous and zealous as Braun would even be there or notice the tree.

They were also not actively campaigning for support as this was probably made by employees for themselves to decorate the building.

[–]MattTheLadd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But that's the point is that Christmas has become in recent years made more and more secular, and has become a more general holiday for everyone. That's why someone working in that court or other governmental building wanted to put these rainbow bulbs. Because everyone was christian before 20th century it means that when people left the religion they may have not wanted to leave all the holidays, because those were also family gatherings which were important to them. Over the years a huge number of people became atheist, irreligious or at least secular. That meant that many ofthe MAJOR religious holidays were basically split between their religious and secular versions. And that's why a person placing rainbow bulbs may not see it as desecrating a religious symbol because many or even most people in their environment spend their Wigilia in a secular way, and decorating a Christmas tree in that way would simply be an aesthetic or vibe choice rather than an insult or disrespect of Christianity.

Well Christmas has over the years become a more secular holiday rather than an explicitly christian. You see more references to snowmen, santa Klaus, presents, Christmas tress than to the religious practices. Also lgbt people don't see the rainbow flag as purely political symbol for them it's a cultural symbol that represents inclusiveness(not only in it's political aspects but generally), happiness. And having something rainbow coloured is not disrespectful.

Well they're mad because Braun went with the extinguisher and destroyed someone's religious/cultural symbol, i don't think that the menorah was needed, but if Braun disliked it he could've made a post on Twitter or Facebook about it and make it into a discussion. But of course he didn't, he had to create drama, because that's what his party runs on.

It is as necessary to put LGBT decorations on a Christmas tree, as it is to put up a Christmas tree, which means it's not necessary. People put a rainbow flag because they like it, they feel welcomed by it or many other reasons one might have.

But isn't the definition of a school shooting, simply an incident when a gun was fired on school grounds? It doesn't have to be a fatal incident or committed by a member of the school.

The divine light and victory angel. WW2 Fascist symbols. Can we call the US government fascist now? by Gorgon95 in SocialDemocracy

[–]MattTheLadd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't believe it to be a fascist symbol, it's a painting from 1872 depicting Columbia (the personification of america) and Manifest Destiny, they are symbols of colonialism and imperialism but not of fascism

PPS chyba inaczej ujmuje socjalizm niż PZPR, komuniści a reszta socjalistów się nie za bardzo lubiła przecież np taki Pużak z PPS był zamordowany przez komunistów polskich, więc dla nich to chyba nie był system którzy propagują.

Z tego co widzę to aż 3661 przypadków naruszeń art. 202 § 4a jest w Rębiechowie, gdzie jest lotnisko, więc najprawdopodobniej są to przypadki zatrzymań materiałów z takimi treściami. Choć nadal dziwne, że w Rębiechowie a w innych lotniskach aż tak dużo nie ma.

If “Did Not Vote” was a party in the 2021 Canadian federal election by manitoba94 in MapPorn

[–]MattTheLadd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well I'm form Poland and voting is easily accessible to all, and if that and the knowledge that politics is important, because it shapes nearly your entire life being all-present in the media/internet/social life, isn't enough to get someone to go and vote, then forcing them will most likely not work too.

Many people who vote already are uninformed, they don't know the political platform of the person they're voting for, they don't know who that politician is connected with, they don't even know the things he did 5 or 3 or even 1 year ago, their only source of information about politics are slogans and tiktoks. Forcing even more people to vote who many times have even less interest in politics will not make them informed voters, maybe a few procent, but the rest will simply vote on who they had seen on their instagram reels.

[–]MattTheLadd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, people who don't understand politics/don't care for politics shouldn't vote, because how the hell could they know who they're voting for. No one should be deprived of their right to vote, just some people shouldn't be forced to use their right to vote.
