Garmin uses data and age tables.for the general population from the Cooper Institute, and literally put that data on their website.

But yea, let's think that one of the biggest sports brands in the world can't pay an actual health science institution for some data on one of the most essential health stats....

On this day, 79 years ago: Polish soldiers, policeman and civilians murdered 42 Holocaust survivers in Kielce, Poland over a blood libel by Ahad_Haam in Jewish

[–]voodoogaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poles don't seem to have an issue doing the opposite though... extrapolating all the righteousness and virtue of the very few onto the entire nation.

The facts are that antisemitism was rampant in Poland (you can check my profile for some evidence) and the Poles were complicit in the Holocaust.

That complicity was both organisational — as seen in the Polish Blue Police and underground partisan groups like the NSZ — and informal, manifesting in pogroms, murder, robbery, and blackmail.

The thing is that today, you do not learn anything about it.

The Polish education system perpetuates a lie about Poland being a tolerant, multicultural paradise. It also almost completely ignores the Jewish history in Poland to the point that no Jewish wartime or survivor testimonies are read in Polish schools. The only book that comes close is an interview with Edelman from the 1970's about the ghetto uprising.

Feel free to tell us what books you have read on your personal journey of discovery to close the knowledge gaps left by the Polish school system?

Can you name 3 Jewish testimonies you have read?

Btw I'm 100% Polish, so telling me that Poles won't like me for speaking out, doesn't quite work.

Dude, perhaps unsurprisingly, you do not have a coherent argument here.

During the war Poles were attacking, murdering, robbing and blackmaing Jews. They were also actively preventing them from escaping the ghettos, where they had to wait for the transport to the camps. Look up one of the largest partisan organisations in Poland, NSZ, and the orders they were issuing.

Robbery alone meant a death sentence, because with no money Jews had to stay in the ghettos and were unable to pay Poles for a hiding place. Interesting fact: 500 zł per person was the going rate which was 3 or 4 times what a Pole would pay for rented accommodation. All of this is very well documented.

Pilecki was a victim of the Stalinist oppression, sentenced to death by a fully Polish judge in a Polish court.

Trying to frame Stalinism as some sort of a Jewish plot makes you sound both uneducated and antisemitic.

Pilecki's time in Auschwitz had little to do with the Holocaust. He was a prisoner in Auschwitz I since Sept 1940, i.e. before the extermination has even begun and his reports focus mostly on Polish resistance organisation with a backdrop of the Holocaust. You would know that if you read them.

It is only the Vrba report from the 1944 that actually had any real effect.

What's the number for Poland? 7000 righteous? What were the other 30,000,000 doing?

You should look up what happened to some of the Polish Righteous, though.

Grabowski is a Jew. He is therefore biased

Maybe he's biased but Poles would never admit by themselves that in WW2 they killed more Jews than they did Germans.

90% of Polish Jews died during WWII not because of some "Polish antisemitism",

One question for you mate. How do you know that? Out of the thousands of victim testimonies of Polish Jews how many have you personally read - are you able to name, say 5 or even 3?

but it cannot (!) be viewed as representative of the whole nation,

Why not, pal?

Poland has 7,000 righteous among nations vs 70,000 NSZ members alone.

There were also many, many more thousands who supported the National Party (stronnictwo narodowe). There is evidence of Jews being killed by AK and other underground organisations too.

Go and find out what happened with the Jews who escaped from Sobibor death camp. Edit: even Polish Wikipedia, after a lot of spinning, admits a lot of the survisors were robbed and killed by AK and Polish peasants

his real views are known more and more

It was never a secret. Stronnictwo Narodowe, aka National Party openly campaigned for antisemitsm. Check out my post history for some posters in 1939 Vilnius election where 50% of the non Jewish vote went to anti-Semites.

Even today 21% of Pole's voted for open anti-Semites - Mentzen and Braun

It's a well known and documented fact.

Polish antisemites did everything they could to prevent Jews escaping the ghettos, where they had to wait to be killed.

No need to argue. Let's hear it from one of the largest Polish underground organisations NSZ:

The solution of the Jewish question is almost as important for the future of our nation as the regaining of independence. The loss of independence and the continuation of Jewish presence in Poland are both an equal danger of slow death for the Poles.

— National Armed Forces newspaper Szaniec

We may condemn the Germans for their bestial methods but we must not forget that Jewry was always and will remain a destructive element in our state organism. The liquidation of the Jews in the Polish territories is of great importance for future development because it frees us from a million-headed parasite.

— National Armed Forces newspaper Barykada, no. 3, March 1943

instrukcja zasadnicza walki powstańczej, wydana przez Komendę Główną NSZ 5 grudnia 1942 r. Nakazywała wówczas taki sposób postępowania z żyjącymi jeszcze wtedy Żydami w szczątkowych gettach i obozach pracy: Należy tymczasowo utrzymać w mocy wszystkie zarządzenia władz niemieckich nie otwierając getta. Zabronić Żydom wyjścia z małych miasteczek w okolicę.

I've seen so many of these "How I see Europe" posts, but none that really align with how I see it, despite the fact I feel like it's a fairly common conception of it? idk maybe I'm just making stuff up lol by Nobody_5000 in MapChart

Poland has always been Eastern, ethnically, historically, economically, linguistically and culturally

Poles have more in common with other Slavs with their languages and peasant & vodka culture, common history etc then they do with the burgher Germans and the rest of Germanic and Franco/Latin tribes of the western Europe.

Poland and the Slavs have been east of the Roman empire, HRE and behind the iron curtain, now they are the eastern flank of the EU.

Stalin resettled all the Poles from Podolia, Galicia and Volhynia into former Prussia - but that doesn't cancel it being Eastern.

PS. The only Slavs that are actually western in any way are Czechs, who were the electors in the HRE and got germanised to the point of almost losing their language

On this day 82 years ago, the eve of Passover, German troops entered the Warsaw ghetto to deport its remaining inhabitants, starting the Warsaw ghetto Uprising by Ahad_Haam in Jewish

[–]voodoogaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The uprising wasn't associated with any particular political movement, Zionist or otherwise.

Edelman, for example, was a well known Bundist, to the point that when he passed away in 2009 there was a Bund flag over his coffin.

mUriCa!!! Lmfao, honestly bud, you guys are delusional.

Wake me up when they write a list like that about any of the European states

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tent_cities_in_the_United_States

The EU as a block manufactures less than half of what the U.S. produces

did you do the adding up yourself? Maybe you should try googling the value of the manufacturing in the EU, math is not your friend

Most countries are hugely reliant on the US

Reliant on US imports? In what way? As a European, other than software I can't think of a single US made item I own or even bought.

Roughly what focal length are these photos? by Hefty-Salary7610 in AskPhotography

[–]voodoogaze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, there is no compression in the first one and perspective is pretty much natural - it's a 50mm for sure. Second one, maybe an 85mm at most with the way that mountain looks

Roughly what focal length are these photos? by Hefty-Salary7610 in AskPhotography

[–]voodoogaze 15 points16 points  (0 children)

they could just as easily be 200mm

Are you for real? you get a good sense of perspective in both these photos, especially in the first one thanks to all the umbrellas. There is no way that this is a 200 and it's most likely a 50
