    Because there are no gopniks in Poland, there are only dresiarz who never squat, and never wear addidas

    There is a video in YouTube with the title "meanwhile in Poland"

    I enjoyed watching it, and I was sure about the comments that I will read in the end

    Anyway, honestly, I don't know many things about Poland being western or eastern our whatever, but it surely isn't a "small Russia", as many people claim, it's its own

    Ps peterski/litvin, you are still ugly

    Many Poles also fall for this "Russia is the biggest threat" narrative. I personally think that Russia is no threat to Poland anymore. It is a threat to Ukraine, Belarus and Baltic states, but not Poland.
    I did not know that the Poles well think about the Russians. I thought that the Poles were aggressive towards Russians and Russia.
    Little Russians called Ukrainians. The Ukrainians were part of the Russian people. The Poles of the Little Russians were renamed Ukrainians. I have a good attitude towards Ukrainians, but I think that Eastern Ukraine is still Russian, and Western Ukrainians are separate people. Poland will not become a small Russia,the Poles were never part of the Russian world.

    My understanding is that I believe it came to be a disrespectful term when you refer to the region of "Eastern Europe" which is stereo-typically poorer and less developed than the West. Thus they feel embarassed when they are reminded they come from the said region which was under-former soviet control, what most people don't realize though is that although Eastern Europe, including the Balkans is poorer than the West. At least they kept and retained their culture which the West has lost in favour of multi-multiculturalism which fundamentally does not work.

    Poles on the forum have always been weird and very disconnected from actual Poles IRL.

    Because they need education. I'm going to educate now Poles on this forum and tell them they are purest Eastern Europeans. So Eastern that it is unmovable and unchangable forever. They can kiss German ass as much as they
    want but they are Eastern and that means inferior to all Germans and to South Slavs because South Slavs had Yugoslavia and they had Iron Curtain. That fucked them forever.

    I won't even say what Yugoslav thought about them during communism I guess they know that. They were and are more Eastern than Russians.
