But hey look at the bright side 😉 at least now we have another topic for people abroad to be outraged at based entirely on media clickbait. Prepare for the incoming wave of posts about "polish hooligans" in German subreddits

Majority of the government wants to expand them if that's what you're asking

Imagine being a yank and trying these gotchas, don't you have taxes to pay to your diddler in chief?

Yes the US is a shithole country I'm not denying that. We have things worse than hoe patrols, we have brown shirts disappearing people off the streets, and yes many have literally disappeared, we don't know where they are and can't contact them and they haven't contacted people they know.

The Trump administration is still trying to deport Kilmar Abrego Garcia despite the government freeing him and judges ruling that the administration is breaking the law deporting him. They sent him to the worst prison in the world and want him dead all because he's an immigrant, they've literally offered no other evidence.

But I have more rights here than in Poland somehow

You tell me. It's a democracy. My opinion doesn't matter because I'm in a minority. Always nice to have a helpful neighbour who will gossip about your home.

I live quite a distance away from our local metropolis, in a most definitely provincial town and no one gave a fuck when I had a boyfriend we hugged in public. And no one among my quite right wing acquaintances gave a fuck when I got a bit carried away with a friend at a party. One of the only people I'm out as bisexual to is a person you would probably consider a village hick. Back when I was still more accepting of Catholics I knew a priest who was extremely homophobic but when he actually saw a gay couple kissing in public he didn't care much beyond shaking his head in disapprovement. The only issue is that you can't really be out with your sexuality but if you keep some degree of deniability you are good to go. This isn't a good thing but it's not as bad as people like you make it seem.

But sure keep telling people that Poland is the next Dagestan

That's an absolutely massive issue, "you can be gay in Poland as long as you completely hide it except when at home with the blinds closed", so you can't be out and also participate in society or be out and have a job.

The "hoe patrol" sounds like it's not just a few teenagers somewhere, it's in the country's blood to control others and disallow anyone from existing in public except straight white people who follow fundamentalist ideals.

Don't try arguing with him, polish nationalism is akin to a neurological disorder. Hate crimes against sexual minorities happen here and are documented basically only by third parties because sexuality isn't a legally protected characteristic so they aren't reported as "hate crimes".

To teraz ja jestem nacjonalistą? A ty kim jesteś w takim razie? Ojkofobem?

Tak się przejmujesz prawami osób LGBT ale masz całkowicie w dupie to co napisałem bo skreśliłeś mnie na start jako nacjonalistę? Nikt kurwa bardziej nie nienawidzi państwa polskiego ode mnie. Spoko pozwólmy przekreślić cały naród jako nacjonalistów homofobów zacofanych troglodytów nie do odratowania i błagajmy zachód o przebaczenie za bycie Polakiem. To twoja odpowiedź?

To o chuj ci chodzi? Skąd ci się wzięło w ogóle że jestem nacjonalistą?

To po prostu nie jest prawdą co tamta osoba pisała. Przecież nie będę jej na to przytakiwać skoro sam widzę osobiście jak jest

You can't be out and expect right wing people and Catholics to respect you. That's it. You absolutely can have a job and you won't get hate crimed like in the west. You are making some insane assumptions here.

You really migh have mistaken Poland for Dagestan

Right if it's in the country's blood... what do you expect from a coercive form of governance (same as in your western utopia by the way)?
