The General Political Thread

A hysterical reaction to what is basically just PiS taking on cultural Marxism in Poland.

You cannot be serious right, your trolling I assume?  Ok then.

Which included labeling Lech Walesa a anti-Polish traitor. You know, the guy that actually lead the Polish drive against communist rule. Are you really this thick in the head?

Would that be after the 2016 documents that came to light and revealed pretty much conclusively that he was an informant for a number of years? Context is important Duuring.

I'm half serious. Not really a fan of what they're doing on the law and liberty side of things but I admire their social conservatism a great deal.

Which begs the question, does one justify the other? Doesn't seem like the Polish have had problems maintaining social conservatism since the fall of the USSR. (From what I can see)

Yeah, that totally invalidates all of his work.

Look at all those women and children! Do you have a spare bedroom, Duuring?

[Toffee]

Seems Canada is doing just fine with their migrants. It's not impossible you know.

[Edwin]

Canada is much more equip than Spain to handle an influx of migrants, in addition to there being a difference between selecting migrants to let in versus having them wash up on your shore.

Well, apart from the fact that even Justin Trudeau was smart enough to implement extreme vetting. No single males allowed for a start.

Also they only took 30,000 while Germany alone has taken over a million (as of June 2017).

Not particularly since elections in Poland for the last two decades have generally been between the right-wing (Civic Platform) and the very right-wing (PiS).

[Theodin]

We're also an extremely unattractive place for middle eastern refugees, with many turning down invitations.

[Duuring]

You're also on another continent.

[Theodin]

You're also on another continent.

With a climate totally hostile and unknown to Syrians. And also not enough people to really justify thousands more refugees.

[StevenChilton]

You're also on another continent.

As is Germany.

[Toffee]

As is Germany.

He meant another continent to Germany. Europe is a lot closer to Syria, Iraq etc than North America is.

Interesting turn in development. Looks like we'll just see a war of words for the time being
