Happy 100 years of independence to us, I guess. Poland was wiped from world’s maps for 123 years and reclaimed in 1918, on November 11th. You may also realize why we were pretty unhappy with ww2 nazi invasion and soviet occupation which happened quite shortly after. Rough, rough time. Our nation is pretty grumpy. Freedom means a little more to us as our parents and grandparents were in prison, family killed off etc.
So, obviously, our nation tries to celebrate. But to most of Poles this is also… ehh. Scary day. Specially if you live in a big city.
This is the only country where you’re afraid to go outside on Independence Day, because you know somebody from extreme far-right will punch you in the face. Mind you, I don’t mind conservatists or liberals alike. I dislike the extremists idiots who call themselves patriots as excuse to beat up gay people, anyone who isn’t Polish (especially Ukrainians, lately) or just because you look ugly to them.
O let me paste some adorable photos from our yearly independence day parades
“death to enemies of homeland”
Such pleasant patriots loving their country :)
bullshit they don’t care about the celebration, they just want to rage, yell and burn stuff. Problem is there’s 60.000 of them in one place and it’s legal enough. Today I just worry it might get super bad cause it’s “100″ years ;’D staying home.
Every country has idiots like that, America is “enjoying” their idiots slowly getting as rowdy as ours ;’D good luck, murica. We’ve been there for years. Those guys are impossible to get rid of. Yay!
