Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in !yurop@lemm.ee. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
(This list may get expanded when necessary.)
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @federalreverse@feddit.org, @poVoq@slrpnk.net, or @anzo@programming.dev.

Waah waah those bad libruls. No shit Poles will support it - Belarus is literally flying in thousands of people and pushing them towards the border. When that happens to your country, we'll see how open it will be to "asylum seekers". The thing is literally done to create conflict by people like you who don't know the situation that's happening over there and only read the headlines.
We are perfectly capable of processing couple thousands of asylum requests. No papers? Go away. But you have to be allowed to make the request and that hasn’t been possible for years. It’s basic human compassion and Christian values.
Go away where exactly? Explain that part to me. Belarus doesn't take them back, they force them on Poland. So now you have a ton of people with no papers, no history, nowhere to go. The period in Europe where "human compassion" and "christian values" ruined countries is over. Poland has no obligation to allow anyone to enter, especially not people forced on us.
You live in the real world, not a utopia where everyone is happy and cuddly and a great neighbor. Poland borders two hostile nations that would love to see it fall. That's why Poland supports Ukraine so hard, that's why Poland is preparing for war. This situation is created by Russia to attack Poland, so it's on Russia to stop what it is doing, not on Poland to stop defending itself.
This is not „this or this”. Poland is 20th largest economy in the world, we can take couple thousand asylum seekers because we just took two million. If someone wants to abuse our good will then, and only then, we can throw it into jail so bad they’ll want to return home. Nobody comes here for social welfare because we have almost none so why are you so afraid?
If you think human compassion ruins us then you want us to became as our enemies are and we’ve already lost.
There is no point in talking to you - you ignore 100% of the issues that are there and go for an emotional "oh ur evulll". Someone already wants to "abuse our good will" - that's Russia literally pushing people at the border. Poland doesn't need to put anyone in jail - they need to be stopped on the other side of the border. You still haven't explained how are you going to identify, extradite people comming from a hostile country, without papers. Nobody is afraid - because what is happening is what needs to happen. So take your "human compassion" and put it where it belongs - in your perfect imaginary world. For the rest of us living on Earth, measures need to be taken to protect the border.
Why are you so scared? I know you’re downvoting me because you don’t like what you hear but did anyone hurt you or is it just irrational fear of people who you’ve never met? You don’t address my points but keep repeating I’m naive. How naive are you to fall for what populist right is feeding you?
Great job not touching on anything I said, defaulting to "ur evill" "ur scareeed" and then going "you don't address my points". Great job projecting. I'm done talking with you.
You were done talking to me a comment before but you can’t stop mocking me because you have nothing of substance to say and don’t want to appear as the one who’s been duped.
