God I hate this Nazi kibol so much. Fuck Poland for electing him.
World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Weak
Traitorous shitbag.
Paid in full with rubles
This isn't Russia, just nationalism. The right in Poland doesn't want Ukrainian immigrants coming in and "taking polish jobs," especially since a lot of Ukrainians will want to leave their country that Russia destroyed.
Not everything has to be some 3d chess move by putin the puppet master. You're giving Russian diplomacy and spy craft far more credit than it deserves.
Until other European countries use this as an excuse to kick out polish workers and they'll complain about the lack of solidarity.
I'm fairly sure this is less "pro-Russia" and more "anti-large-new-devastated-member-causing-Poland-to-get-a-far-smaller-slice-of-the-EU-funds-pie".
While Law & Justice's [sic] tendencies overlap with Putin's a lot, IIRC they've been consistently anti-Russia, especially as it's a personal beef now since the party boss's brother was killed in the Smolensk air disaster, which he seems to blame on Putin.
Don't get me wrong; I fully support Ukraine.
But it's very different from EU countries and still has a long way to go according to the Copenhagen Criteria. 2 big reasons would be no active war or border conflict, and also a fair democracy. The war is obvious. The democracy is most likely not up to standards because of the Russian influence since 2014. So Ukraine would first have to clean house.
So when is Hungary getting kicked out?
Soon hopefully.
Russia is influencing all democracies
I wonder what Archie Bunker would think of this guy.
These right wing people seem to all be reading from Putin’s script.
Does he even has a say? Doesn't Polish stance on Ukraine's entry depend on the government & parliament rather than the president?
- not really
- yes
*have
As I understand, the president can still use his veto, forcing the question back to the parliament requiring 2/3 majority to overrule the veto.
yeah, but a veto of what in this case?
The Parliament would decide to ratify Ukraine's accession to the EU, but the official papers are signed by the president, so he could use his veto to block it.
The decision goes back to the Parliament, and if it passes with a 2/3 majority the president is forced to sign no matter what he thinks.
Again, I'm not 100% sure it works like this in Poland, but it does in several countries.
except that's not how the process of accepting countries into the eu works at all.
How is this news? This was literally an electoral point of his. Besides, it's the same position other nato members are taking, albeit hidden behind the "territorial integrity" excuse.
The actual news may be that, sadly, Poland these days is sliding into christian nationalism, just like the US.
I'm not sure what to make of this guy. In this case I guess his animosity towards Russia is conflicting with his "sophisticated nationalism?" He is wanted by Russia because it's illegal in Russia to remove Soviet monuments in Poland. (lmao) But I guess if it doesn't help him build a turbo-Christian Poland then he doesn't want it... he's sorta stuck in the middle.
Other countries, including Poland, Hungary and other European countries rather see Ukraine being pushed into Putins hand than join Europe and make our alliance stronger? Makes sense yeah...
“On the one hand, we must support Ukraine in its conflict with the Russian Federation, but Ukraine must understand that other countries, including Poland, Hungary, and other European countries, also have their own interests,” he said.
Lol, shitbaggery never feels shame or remorse.
And that’s the end of it.
