Yes, the Visegrad countries (Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Slovakia) all get it.
There was a silver lining to the Iron Curtain, in that the countries behind it were spared the invasion of Muslims that plagued Western Europe, since masses of people were not allowed to leave for the West, which would have created the kind of labor shortages that would have required an influx of outsiders.
I got another one.
What would you call Europe today if it wasn’t for “The Miracle on the Vistula” in 1920?
The Soviet Union.
Eastern & Central Europe bump for later....
Europe is in the throes of nihilistic materialism. Nature abhors a vacuum, and Islam is filling the vacuum. We are probably already past the tipping point.
Americans better be careful about throwing stones. The “living in a void, without ideas” sounds like the Universal Millennial to me.
Yep. And we called also add the Polish Pope to the list. Could Reagan and Thatcher have brought the Iron Curtain down without John Paul II standing with them? Maybe, maybe not.
When you think about it, Poland has never let the West down.
“Polish joke” = or any ethnic group the joketeller doesn’t like.
The Poland I remember from history fought its way back into existence in 1918 led by Ignace Jan Paderewski. Fought against two front invasion in WWII. The Russians must have thought the Polish officer & intellectual class a threat because they exterminated them at Katyn Forest.
Even under communism Poland was manufacturing tanks, MiGs, every kind of modern weapon.
Free Poland gets it about Islam.
Telling a `Polish joke’ only makes an idiot of the teller.
And let’s not forget the reason we even have a Europe today is due to Jan Sobieski at the gates of Vienna. His legacy should not be thrown away, at the very least.
But the West sure has let Poland down over the years.
These people are definitely NOT delicate flowers.
Well, you know what, I’m part Polish as well.
I grew up with “Pollock” jokes.
You do know that there was a time when making those “Pollock” jokes, it was wide spread and seemingly acceptable.
The Poles saved Europe at Vienna. Maybe that’s the joke. They are the only ones stupid enough to keep saving Europe over and over again, with never a thank you. Stupid Poles. /s
Always seems to happen in that order, doesn’t it?
Yes, I do know that.
I also know that not long ago they were considered the most Christian Nation in all of Europe. Per capita.
They took a very hard line on abortion and many other social proclivities that where befalling Western Europe.
Those positions seemed to soften in recent years.
That is until they recognized this Islamic invasion.
God bless them.
I think your theory has a lot of merit.
The Universal Millennial do lnow a lot just ask them. The problem is what they know is useless or wrong.

Correct, there is no clash. It is one civilization, culture, surrendering to another.
If there were a clash, the Muslims would not stand a chance.
Europe evidently has no Charles the Hammer, it has Merkel.
A new dark age has fallen upon Europe which will last 1000 years if Europe is lucky. Unlike the last one, this time it is Europe inflicted upon itself.
1932? Wasn’t Germany still the weimar republic then?
