I'm finding it impossible to live in Poland without feeling a burning hatred for Germany, Russia, the US, the EU and every Polish govt. since communism.

This country is a colony that doesn't know it's a colony, and all the political discourse in and about Poland is a shell game designed to hide that from Poles

Meanwhile Poles are so propagandised and aggrandised at home and discriminated against and made boogeymen of abroad that the myth of Polish exceptionalism and 'liberty' keeps growing, along with a poorly concealed national inferiority complex.

It's infuriating to talk to most Polish people about this. They tend either to support "what is reparations" Germany talking points about Polish brutishness OR a carefully constructed fantasy land in which Poland is the Last Bastion of White European culture or some such BS.
