Kremlin calls Poland’s decision to rename Kaliningrad a ‘hostile act’

So stupid, they can call it whatever they want but it won’t change the reality that Russia controls it, mostly Russians live there.

If we pretend russians don’t exist, maybe all our problems will go away :so-true:

I’ve decided to rename New York City to Cyber Lenin City. This change is effective immediately.

:cyber-lenin: :liberty-weeping:

Wtf how did you make it seem so fucking cool so easily…

CONSTANTINOPLE FOREVER!

Poles literally think anything they want is theirs. Most entitled fucking country, even the US pretends it is not doing irredentism, but nope Poland cannot feel shame

How many US cities are named after European towns?

I think Saigon and HCMC are used interchangeably by people there. However whenever I encounter a Pho joint named Saigon I always wonder if the owners fled South Vietnam

Having watched them the past year try to get the US to start a nuclear war to own Russia is wild

There’s an old historian joke that Poland isn’t a country but just sort of a geographic idea

It’s a country where brainworms are extremely widespread and where the alternative to far-right ideology (traditionalist Social Democracy) is far-right ideology (fuck you poor people libertarianism). I should know, I’ve been there last week.

There are surprising pockets of left wing thought, such as when a socdem magazine openly praising AES Poland on its cover last week, but you won’t hear it from random people on the street due to tabooisation. Or maybe it’s just because my relatives live in the most pro-PiS part of the country and are not devoid of brainworms themselves.

What is the most pro-PiS part of the country?

the East of the country. Basically, the poorer it is, the less likely you are to find people liking economic liberalism.

I heard that Gierek is pretty well-liked in Poland.

cia calls poland 51st state

Fun fact: mayos on wikapedia do this with actual places in India

I don’t think they’re trying to ppb you, some use the emote as a general countdown

iirc a year or two ago a US govt account tweeted pretending like the US liberated Auschwitz
