I started this profile because I discovered that, shockingly, in many countries, people are not happy when there's new construction in their neighborhood

This article pops up here and there on both leftist and housing Twitter and every time I'm so infuriated by all the wrong tankie takes I decided to write a short thread about housing construction in socialist Poland

These Soviet-era structures are the housing blocks communism left behind. All were built after World War II to cheaply house the masses in a way that jived with communist ideology: near-identical two- and three-bedroom apartments. 📸: Zupagrafika wired.trib.al/fC1XvpJ

Do you want to know the real answer? Basically it is: because Poland does everything opposite to the what people like you want: 1. We fund public transit 2. It’s impossible to get a gun 3. We accept tons of immigrants who clean our cities 4. We have universal healthcare

Just a reminder, this thing was first opened in Lublin and Vilnius in 2021 and it operated in these cities without any issues for years. Makes you think what kind of society Dublin and NYC have

That conservative candidate is so unpopular he might literally end PiS, the party that was in power for the last 8 years. He polls worse than his party does and in fact he polls so badly he might not even make it to the second round.

This isn’t even a meme, this is a reality. On the Polish far right, literally all but one notable politicians have German or Jewish names: Mentzen, Braun, Fritz, Hernik, Berkowicz. The only one with a Polish name is Bosak.

You’ve all heard about people getting Chinese tattoos that say „dumb foreigner” or something similar but it seems Polish Americans do the same with Polish 😅
