Polish PM is slammed for using Auschwitz speech commemorating the first prisoners to enter the Nazi death camp as a chance to defend her anti-migrant policy
A photograph began making rounds on Polish social media last week. The graphic stitches together two pictures, both depicting immaculate columns of young men dressed in black outfits—marching in a parade and holding identical flags and banners. At first glance, you might believe that these photos are of the same political event. But you'd be wrong. One is of a Nazi Party rally in pre-war Germany, the other of the Polish National-Radical Camp (ONR), a far-right extremist group that recently marched through the streets of Warsaw to mark the 83rd anniversary of its establishment.
However, the point of this social media move isn't hard to spot—it makes clear that the populism of Europe's past threatens to become prophecy, not least in Poland, where right-wing elites are shoring up power through silent approval of these sorts of radical groups.
Not at all, but the one I posted is more dependable, that's all.
I think you would benefit greatly by familiarizing yourself with the article that explains the issue. Your understanding of it seems pretty weak tbh. Not that I am surprised by that, though.
Poland’s prime minister has come under heavy fire for appearing to defend her right-wing government’s anti-migrant policy during a memorial service at the former Auschwitz-Birkenau Nazi German death camp.
Beata Szydlo said that “in our troubled times, Auschwitz is a great lesson that everything must be done to defend the safety and the lives of citizens” at ceremonies marking the 77th anniversary of the Nazis’ first transport of Polish prisoners to the camp.
Her comment came one day after the EU launched legal action against Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic for refusing to take in their share of refugees under the bloc’s controversial solidarity plan.
It really interests me very little as I work in the Middle East and see globalism and corporations as far more powerful than individual states. When you have been in the world lived in other countries and met other peoples, you will understand better. But then, I doubt you will do any of that.
Are you ready for some hilarity about Steve's whining that the Daily Mail is only credible when it suits the right?
Yes, that was from yesterday lol. Get ready to hear why it's different though.

Never let anyone else define you. Don't be a jerk just to be a jerk, but if you are expressing your true inner feelings and beliefs, or at least trying to express that inner child, and everyone gets pissed off about it, never NEVER apologize for it. Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
In a nutshell the EU wants Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic to pay penalties for opposting failed EU migrnats policies and refusing relocation of migrants.
In short, they are barking but not biting.
Do you want to know the offcial reponse of the Polish government?
Forced relocation of refugees worse than EU penalties
This is ****ing hilarious. Let me get this straight, a group of individuals in the EU that weren't democratically put in power, or telling Countries do this or else! Never mind all the ****ed up shits that's been happening in Britain and France with there love for all immigrants.
Describing themselves as the heirs to the original ONR—an anti-semitic, segregationist, right-wing political party that enjoyed a short-lived run in 1934—Poland's young radicals paraded through the capital shouting slogans like "Death to the fatherland's enemies," "All of Poland only white," and "Work in Poland just for Poles." And despite a relatively low number of participants—only some 600 in total—the group's disciplined public showing signaled a terrifying display of power, as well as a staunch determination to "restore order in the country."-snip
Actually scary, this is how authoritarian regimes begin, a relatively small, but loud and committed group.
The rank and file "fodder" in everything of this sort usually sticks to the program because they're tangibly benefiting in some way. A paycheck, a nice house, ect..
If they manage to turn the economy around, get everyone employed, and create a nice lifestyle for "the right type of people", then you can worry.

Agreed, I noted "small" group. But I know you know your history and the Nazi party started out as a "marginal group", then they found a young, angry and very talented orator, found a group to target as the enemy of the people, spoke of nationalism and strong identity policies etc. Well, you know the rest.
Indeed. However, ONR is actually anti-Nazi as it's members were persecuted and killed during WWII by Nazis.
In any case, this observation can be made about any marginal group like PEGIDA in Britain or Germany. Actually these groups seem to have more relevance than ONR.
This is also because Polish politics turned to center-right lately and such groups like ONR haves no pull. Law and Justice (rulling party) and Kukiz'15 already pulled conservatives and right-wingers.
