Do I love Poland?
Do I love Poland?
YOU MUST BE NEW HERE. THERE IS NOTHING I LOVE MORE THAN POLAND.
POLAND WAS THE MOST ENLIGHTENED COUNTRY IN MEDIEVAL EUROPE.
POLISH ART AND MUSIC SHAPED ALL OF WESTERN CULTURE.
POLAND HAS BEEN WIPED COMPLETELY OFF THE MAP THREE TIMES AND REFUSED TO FUCKING DIE.
DO YOU KNOW WHO CONTRIBUTED THE LARGEST NUMBER OF TROOPS TO WORLD WAR II AFTER THE SOVIET UNION, BRITAIN, AND AMERICA? NOT CANADA! NOT FRANCE! THAT’S RIGHT, FUCKING POLAND.
OH, WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY? WASN’T POLAND CONQUERED OUTRIGHT AT THE OUTSET OF WORLD WAR II?
IT SURE AS FUCK WAS. BUT THE ARMY REFUSED TO STOP FIGHTING. THERE WAS LITERALLY NOT A SINGLE SQUARE YARD OF POLISH LAND RULED BY POLES, AND 400,000 POLISH SOLDIERS JUST SAID “WELL FUCK YOU TOO” AND FOUGHT FOR THE ENTIRE WAR.
DO YOU KNOW WHO BROKE THE NAZIS ENIGMA CODE? OH DID YOU THINK IT WAS BRITAIN? IT WASN’T BRITAIN. IT WAS POLAND. THEY GAVE THEIR ALGORITHMS TO THE BRITISH AFTER THEY REALIZED THEY WOULD BE IN NO POSITION TO USE THEM.
DO YOU KNOW WHICH COUNTRY RAN THE MOST EFFECTIVE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT IN WORLD WAR II? DID YOU THINK IT WAS FRANCE? YOU WERE WRONG. POLAND.
DO YOU KNOW WHICH COUNTRY BROKE THE BACK OF THE SOVIET UNION BY HOLDING SURPRISE DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS AND OUSTING THEIR COMMUNIST OPPRESSORS ALMOST OVERNIGHT? POLAND.
AMERICA DIDN’T END THE COLD WAR. WE JUST GOT ALL THE GOOD PRESS FOR IT. THE SAVAGE GROIN-KICK THAT ENDED THE USSR CAME FROM POLAND.
WHAT COUNTRY HAS BEEN MORE RESILIENT THAN POLAND. WHAT COUNTRY HAS FOUGHT HARDER FOR ITS RIGHT TO EXIST THAN POLAND. WHAT COUNTRY’S HISTORY IS MORE STUDDED WITH HEART-STOPPING, HEART-BREAKING, HOPELESS, HEROIC ACTS OF DEFIANCE THAN THAT OF POLAND.
THE WESTERN POWERS HAVE BETRAYED POLAND’S TRUST AND HEROISM SO MANY TIMES, BUT POLAND KEEPS FIGHTING BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT POLAND DOES.
AFTER POLAND WAS CONQUERED IN WWII, THE SECRET UNDERGROUND ARMY THAT FOUGHT HITLER THROUGHOUT THE WAR TOOK THIS OATH:
“Before God the Almighty, before the Holy Virgin Mary, Queen of the Crown of Poland, I put my hand on this Holy Cross, the symbol of martyrdom and salvation, and I swear that I will defend the honor of Poland with all my might, that I will fight with arms in hand to liberate her from slavery, notwithstanding the sacrifice of my own life, that I will be absolutely obedient to my superiors, that I will keep the secret, whatever the cost may be.”
I HAVE CHILLS. FUCK. FUCK.
POLAND’S CURRENT POLITICAL SYSTEM MAY BE A GODDAMNED MESS, BUT I KNOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TO POLAND, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A POLAND. POLAND’S GOING TO BE THE LAST MAN STANDING. WHEN WE’VE REDUCED THE PLANET TO A RADIOACTIVE WASTELAND, THE PEOPLE WHO CRAWL OUT OF THE RUBBLE AND STICK THEIR FLAG ON THE GLASSED HILLSIDES OF THEIR FORMER HOMES ARE GOING TO BE THE POLES.
