Poland is the China of Europe. Everything you can do, they can do cheaper.
Also, Poland is much less corrupt and the privatization in the 90s worked a bit better than in Russia, at least it didn’t create a powerful class of oligarchs due to less mineral resources. Most of their major companies are relatively young though.
Keep going, Ivan. You’re this close to getting it.
So close. I’ve been wondering about ways we can push them over the line of realization. 500,000 dead hasn’t done it. A few days ago they lost 65 artillery pieces in a single day. Sure there’s lots of soviet production in mothballs but this shit has been going on for two years. How much longer can they go on before the average person realizes - oh shit - we’re gonna lose this badly - ?
The 500k figure is casualties, not deaths. That includes wounded.
500k is shit for Russia. Lmao Russia got into the big leagues by throwing tens of millions into a meat grinder and still having fucking more ready to go. They’re like ants that have been half drowned in vodka. Every one you popov gets replaced by 4 more.
Their impotent rage amuses me.
Less amusing since they started killing and raping civilians in Ukraine, but I agree. Something is just fascinatingly wrong with the mindset of this country
I don’t think a country can even have a mindset. Also, I’d guess that mindset might not be shared equally amongst all Russians
County mindset is called culture
And assuming everyone thinks like that is called nationalism and jingoism, but we’re getting a little credible here
But muh others and team sports
I’d say it can’t possibly be true, but orcs
Its called getting money from big daddy EU
Edit: apperently some people missunderstood my comment. Im in no way saying that all their achievements are just eu. All Im saying that especially public infrastructure in poland is strongly substituted by eu. In a lot of cities you can’t get on a tram without seeing the big eu logo. And thats not a bad thing. Thats exactly what the eu is for. To help each other out.
Baw, Poland looking pretty good right now. Tech sector is going hard, about to pass UK SOL and GDP.
So they’re angry that other people have it better than them and the solution is to make life terrible for all those people rather than demand something good of your own government?
I don’t think Russian’s a human. How on Earth do they think like that, if other people have it better than you, clearly the problem is with your country. Who comes to the conclusion that the problem is the other country.
Anyway imagine lusting after ikea furniture. Someone should tell them that we think it’s all crap. That will really drive them.
While this person’s mindset here is reprehensible; try to avoid making sweeping generalizations based off a few encounters. It’s destructive and can be quite hurtful.
Funny thing about how clean Russia is. Moscow has a spotless city center, and anywhere important is super clean. But as soon as you step outside the usual areas, it’s suddenly back to failed-state chique, with random crap just dumped outside of direct view and slowly spilling over.
Ever visited underserved areas of the USA? We’re talking furniture dumped in barely wooded areas.
You can call them rurals
They can’t hear you here, they’re all on Facebook
Hey now, I can hear!
I can also attest that it’s true, it’s just the reverse of the Russian situation. Instead of 20% functional and 80% shit, I lived in the 20% that’s shit instead of the 80% that’s functional. Getting out was priority #1 to me.
We… probably should do something about it.
One of the more disturbing incidents of my life was making a delivery with a friend to some private hunting cabin deep in Appalachia, and I mean, we’re already IN Appalachia, so, DEEP. And we drove past, in the deep woods, the most awful, dilapidated shacks and decaying trailers. God, they were fucking piecemeal, and yet, very clearly still lived in. I remember being disturbed as we drove up to the steel and barbed wire fence on the road and getting buzzed in the last mile or so to the cabin, and getting there, and it was just this… villa. Like, you walk in and it’s got a fucking chandelier. It’s not a ‘cabin’ except in the loosest sense. They had private catering, a massive area of woodlands reserved for them, all of that.
I found the proximity… unnerving. Like a rich man eating caviar next to a starving beggar.
IKEA makes loans for purchasing their uncomfortable furniture? Their sofas should be reviewed for human rights violations. They’re not aspirational.
Remember, these are the people who consider Adidas tracksuits the epitome of fashion and a status symbol.
Remember back in the '90s when everyone used to wear windbreakers? The Russians are just 35 years behind the times, they’ll get here by about 2055
