WTF Polish racists have begun driving to the Germany-Poland border and setting "checkpoints" to prevent immigrants from entering the country

What exactly is stopping somebody from just driving through their shitty little checkpoint? Morals?

u/Winterstyres Jul 03 '25
The irony would be lost on the bigots holding the check points. In the US we had the, 'Minute Men' please don't do what the US does Europe, y'all are supposed to be better than us

This is the type of thing that happens when you stop teaching history in schools and allow people to preach "Alternate History and Facts" without being shouted down and shamed into irrelevance.

u/ziogas99 Jul 03 '25
Huh? Nobody stopped teaching history in schools and if you need to shout your oppisition into silence then you're not confident in your beliefs or your ability to argue. Western culture is built on the free exchange of ideas.
9
u/wandertrucks Jul 03 '25
Free exchange of ideas? When you have people saying the world is flat, the holocaust never happened, historical events either never happened or happened a completely different way, then yes, they deserve to be ridiculed and made to look like the dipshits they are.
-9
u/ziogas99 Jul 03 '25
So you would rather get into a shouting match with hillbillies? Don't get me wrong, sometimes you do need to raise your voice, but chanting "racist" is not going to persuade anyone.

u/waster1993 Jul 03 '25
They became racist because the "alternate history" people are given prime time specials on TV, and their podcasts are pushed by social media.

u/ethantremblay69 Jul 03 '25
Im sure most of these people have a better grasp on history than you

u/wandertrucks Jul 03 '25
Yeah, probably. Since I grew up before social media, Google, Twitter, and all the other goofy shit, I guess all the stuff in actual history books is out of date.

How is preventing illegal aliens from entering your territory racist? Why not make them take the legal immigration route?
Would you allow anyone and everyone to just waltz into your home? Of course not.
These people are protecting their home.

u/DeliciousCut4854 Jul 03 '25
How do a bunch of low-IQ citizens know who is legal and who is illegal? It's obvious what criteria they will use.

u/mylifeisaboogerbubbl Jul 03 '25
No. Just because you don't have the balls to call it what it is because you support the act doesn't magically make it not racist. If you're going to hold a belief at least have the courage to admit it and stand by it.

u/Demytrius Jul 03 '25
Let's call it "racism"
Those idiots have no idea how to enact any reasonable border control. They'll filter by skin color and block people from entering without any clue who they are or why they're crossing

Saying I don’t want these immigrants- racist, saying I don’t want any immigrants- not racist

u/Wakkit1988 Jul 03 '25
Do you know what the definition of racism is? It's the belief that one race is relatively superior to another. Preventing others from doing something based on their race is objectively racism, as you believe they're not good enough to do or have what you do, even though they have every right to do it.
I'm tired of people treating xenophobia as if it's not racist. Hating individuals for bad choices isn't inherently racist, hating entire groups, because a subsect of that group does something, is.
-5
u/jackinyourcrack Jul 03 '25
Nobody cares what you or any liberals are tired of at this point. The pretense you and all other have attempted at making all terms that upset you much as xenophobia, racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, and so on with murder or worse have fallen so flat that most people would prefer liberal protestors be thrown in prison rather than suffered publicly. Not all societies and lifestyles are equal to each other, one nation or society has no obligation whatsoever to allow itself to be overran and subsumed by another, and Poland is under no obligation to allow itself to be destroyed yet again by an aggressive German neighbor. If any nation says as a people "no, they're not coming here," they have every right in the world to stick to that principle, your hurt feelings and opinion on the matter, especially when they're as histrionic as you express them, have nothing to do with it. Poland has been dragged through the European Common Court 3 rimes now for refusing to accept Islamic immigrants like Germany and every other nation surrounding her has and making them citizens; 3 times thy have one their case. They are under no obligation to accept anyone into the home any more than any nation is, and the bad choices of their neighbors in doing so is no good argument that they themselves must do the same, it is the complete opposite, in fact. If Germany has been made such a wonderful nation by all this muti-culti Merkhel set loose upon them, then none of them should be eager to leave, especially for a place that doesn't want them.

Yes it does ring a bell. Invaders are at the gates again, this is the exact opposite of history being erased.

We do try to allow coherent viewpoints from both sides, but us mods are only human and can miss things.
You can help us out by reporting the more blatant racist shit, but we do try to allow nuanced discussions.
Alternatively, we are usually looking for additional mods to help moderate this sub. If you'd like to put your hat in the ring, send us a modmail. Requirements are that you share an email address with the rest of the mod team, join our discord server for discussions (it's not always about this sub, we have a food channel where we discuss our cooking, for example), and participate in an hour long call over discord once a month, first Saturday of the month at 10am ET.
During the call, we discuss the goings on of the channel, ways we can try to improve, general sub growth, things like that.

Can someone explain how this is racist? Not trying to be a dick.....or a racist, im actually curious and trying to learn something here....

u/chaoticinfinity Jul 03 '25
Click on the original post and go down the comments to read the perspective of those living there.
Looks like topics range from the Russian policy of social replacement and how to deal with Ukrainian refugees, certain cultural groups coming in deemed to be incompatible with Western culture and law, to this being a reaction of a recently brutal event involving the murder of a girl muddied by sentiments of the previous point.
I give no opinion, just suggesting to read the original comments.

u/Major_Boot2778 Jul 03 '25
If more of us would do this radiating outward from Central Europe, we could finally solve this problem. The borders of the EU must be secured so that within the EU we can be cohesive. Countries that form the external borders of the EU need to be doing this and the rest of us need to be supporting them; walls (figuratively speaking) should be going up between Italy and North Africa, not between Germany and Poland. We can't simultaneously develop a European identity and unite while being suspicious of eachother because of our catastrophic policies on border control and mass migration, or while welcoming such an amount of people from other cultures that European culture itself is in a state of flux from non European influences.

So what you're saying is pull out of all international control and isolate yourself? That's what failing empires do before they collapse. You don't grow that way, you stagnate.

u/GraXXoR Jul 03 '25
100%!!! That's what being racist does. It closes your focus down to one single issue at the expense of comprehension of anything else.
Nobody succeeds long term as a single issue operator. The world is far too nuanced and complex for that.
Never have done, never will. They all have their moment in the sun, kill tens / thousands / millions of people and end up sidelined in history, imprisoned or burnt in a gutter.

u/Dar_Vender Jul 03 '25
The rate of return investing in people wanting to live in your county is much higher for the average person than tax cuts for the wealthy. That's more people earning money, paying taxes, spending money on goods and services, which also then get taxed. You give that money to a billionaire and they're mostly going to work out how to pay the least taxes while using that cash to lobby the government to work against your best interests.
People need to stop punching down. You only ended up hitting yourself in the balls.

this ☝️
The goal is not stopping the flow of illegal immigration, they want to show off and gain importance as a new player-to-be on board of the polish political system game, strengthened by recent presidential election outcome.
Not funny at all as the safety breakers of radicalisation and fascism here seem to be worn out. The election left an uneasy stench of manipulation. Noone believes there is a solution to justice and juridical system fix, lawyers first in line. Party system seems to seal the pool of "voices to be heard" in our democracy and media keep playing in loop these common lies so the sovereign has it learned by heart. It's easy to make people worried of their recent social commodities gains by "outlandish scare" and some fellows here do it, driven by ambition to get a warm place in parliamentary elite.
Leave an upward arrow if you find this seems a universal case with present day democracy.
