Nothing against the Polish flag, but that staircase clearly wasn't even a pride flag? It's just a multicoloured staircase...

The right wingers ( i think it was Braun or Nawrocki supporters) are not the brightest people to say the least.

he was too young back to be a pimp, an escort of some sort perhaps.

Honestly all the candidates sucked in their own unique way.

Trzaskowski is inconsistent and would most likely fold for every EU demand. His propasal for a hate speech law is also really suspicious.

Nawrocki has a shady past and will most likely just do everything the duck tells him to do. He clearly doesn't know much about economics either, as seen in the Mentzen interview.

Mentzen has rather impractical economic beliefs and seems to avoid questions he doesn't like.

Braun would alienate Poland from the west slightly too much by leaving the EU or maybe even NATO and would likely leave it vulnerable.

Hołownia's entire program consisted of attacking Mentzen, calling him random insults and buzzwords like Russian agent or parasite (I honestly think he doesn't even genuinely believe what he's saying, he's just trying to slander his biggest opponent, since Mentzen is now the biggest third way politician in Poland instead of him).

Zandberg offers a good solution to many things like the housing problem, but unfortunately him and his party are openly pro immigration.

Biejat is just Zandberg without the redeeming qualities.

Maciak is... Maciak. And I don't know much about the rest.

Since all the candidates were terrible, let's go with the football hooligan who has mafia connections, publicly denounced Darwin at the IPN, stole an apartment from an elderly man, gave him a 25% usury loan, and moonlighted as a gatekeeper for prostitutes at the Grand Hotel. Brilliant choice, right?"

u/CashTanOS69 1d ago

Tell me who would you chose instead and I'll gladly insult him and your braindead choice, go on.

u/NoTeasForBeastmaster 23h ago

Even Mentzen (who IMO is a cynical moron) would be better than Nawrocki. Almost all candidates (apart from the Russia lovers) would be better.

You are trying to defend a right winger on Reddit. You can't win this fight, sorry

u/pashooca 1d ago

Seems like not a very constructive way of bringing up dialogue and building bridges in society, calling 10.6mln people not the brightest. Glad we have such smart citizens like you.

u/MusicURlooking4 1d ago

clearly wasn't even a pride flag?

If course it wasn't, those were just a colourful stairs with quotes from the work of art and some famous people 😅🤌🤌🤌

Unfortunately hipocrisy and spinelessness is high in the nation, couple that with followers of frauds and pimps who ain't the brightest folk and you'll end up with shit like this LOL 😂

u/Gamebyter 1d ago

The color stairs were supposed to resemble color pencils due to a school being in vicinity.

6

u/MusicURlooking4 1d ago

a school being in vicinity.

The one next to it being the Krzysztof Penderecki's Music Academy, while the second one up the stairs being the Jan Matejko's Elementary School... 🤌🤌🤌

I mean, those fucking morons don't even consider things like this 😅 They're like a fucking Pavlov's dog, they see anything close to a fucking rainbow and they seethe like a rabid animal 😬😬😬

They must be so very proud of themselves.

So they think it is better to step on the Polish flag? Fascinating.

Respecting national flag is not right wing propaganda

u/redditapo 1d ago

Respecting flag how? Someone just painted it over stairs. This is just vandalism with a touch of nationalism.

-9

u/NebulaAccording8846 1d ago

According to that logic, painting in rainbow colors is vandalism too

Uh-oh!

8

u/Khanraz 1d ago

Yep, I'm sure that the paintjob legally commissioned by Krakow officials was an act of vandalism.

Go be a clown somewhere else.

Uh-oh!

u/redditapo 20h ago

Yes it is. You think I am some triggered leftist?

You cant be painting whatever over public space unless CONTRACTED TO DO SO. Could have been the next big Banksy piece for all I care. Its still vandalism.

The previous colours wasnt even related to lgbt or anything like that. It was just colorful.

9

u/princess_k_bladawiec 1d ago

Help me understand. How exactly is painting our flag's colours over a place where people can stomp, piss or puke on them respectful for said flag? Why don't you just buy the actual flag and wipe your ass on it, because that's pretty much the same.

-1

u/NebulaAccording8846 1d ago

LGBT people have no problem in painting the sidewalks and stairs in their rainbow puke colors. They don't find it disrespectful when people stomp all over their painted flag. Or maybe they do and they find pleasure in it? Like a self-humiliation ritual? Hohohoh...

u/Blue_almonds 1d ago

these stairs were painted in rainbow colors long before lgbt ideas started floating around

u/MusicURlooking4 1d ago

It doesn't matter for them, _they hear the bell, they bark_  😅

u/EnvironmentalDog1196 19h ago

Dude, this wasn't "lgbt" flag, that was colorful staircase with famous people mentioned on it, the colors were those of colorful pencils children use, because there's a school nearby. Besides, what do you care how lgbt people feel? You obviously don't really emphatise with them. The difference is that the Polish flag is not just something someone uses to represent themselves, but a National Symbol, literally protected by law. And as a Polish person, I refuse to have it thrown around whenever some idiot gets triggered and needs to manifest their ego.

u/Anipani69 14h ago

ive never seen a rainbow painted on sidewalks or on stairs in poland, maybe i just dont travel much if it happens so frequently. unless you mean the rainbows done by children with chalk drawing random stuff on the ground.

u/Khanraz 1d ago

Painting stairs have nothing to do with respecting the national flag. If anything, it's disrespecting the said flag.

-5

u/NebulaAccording8846 1d ago

According to that logic, painting stairs in rainbow colors is disrespecting the LGBT movement.

Uh-oh!

8

u/Khanraz 1d ago

It's hilarious how you try to be smug, and fail miserably :)

First, the stairs weren't painted in rainbow, but in a random assortment of colors.

Second, please do use your head, and tell me how you've made a connection between a colorful stairs and LGBT movement. I'm sure there's a legitimate reason :)

-2

u/NebulaAccording8846 1d ago

I exposed your lack of logic and now you're trying to switch the topic of discussion. How cute.

u/Khanraz 1d ago

Lol. I exposed YOUR lack of logic, and now YOU are trying to change the topic. You have a question to answer, don't be a coward.

u/Stahwel 1d ago

Yes, walking on flags is commonly recognized as disrespectful and I always laugh a little inside when I see them painted on the ground

5

u/syllo-dot-xyz 1d ago

This says a lot more about your lack of understanding of what actually happened,

You just haven't realised yet.

On a different note, do you also get emotional at rainbows in oil spills on the road?

u/grih91 1d ago

How is painting over someone else's artistic installation "respecting national flag"? For me, it's quite the opposite. Btw these colours were not even representing the LGBT rainbow.

2

u/Blue_almonds 1d ago

walking on a flag is one of the few ways to really really disrespect it

1

u/NebulaAccording8846 1d ago

so everyone walking on rainbow stairs is disrespecting LGBT?

5

u/Blue_almonds 1d ago

these stairs were painted in those colors long before lgbt flag became a thing. Also, they were not painted in lgbt flag colors. Also, different flags demand different levels of care, and a state flag is much higher on the totem pole compared to a movement flag or a group flag. Stepping on national flag or coat of arms is willful disrespect and disregard. Colors of national flag are more special than rainbow.

u/NebulaAccording8846 1d ago

notice how he avoided answering a simple question

3

u/Blue_almonds 1d ago

i’d answer this question again for you: rainbow lgbt flag is not a flag of a nation nor is it a recognized state flag, so walking on it is not disrespectful. There is definitely no law about disrespect of state symbols that applies to lgbt flag or rainbow (but you know what it does apply to? National Flag!) But also the stairs were NEVER painted as that flag, colors were assorted, in various order, there were more colors than usual 6 colors of a rainbow lgbt flag. There were also inspirational book quotes (not about lgbt in any way).

here comes the mental gymnastics!

u/Blue_almonds 1d ago

mental gymnastics is seeing bright colors and thinking about gays

u/Blue_almonds 1d ago

it’s literal law

u/EnvironmentalDog1196 19h ago

Respecting flag???? You mean your idea of respecting national symbols is painting it on every dirty pavement, just because your bigoted brain got triggered by some colors and imagined something that wasn't even there? Get out.

Muslims hate LGBTQ too?

They surely do but I don't see the connection to my previous comment

A shame. I live nearby and it was always a nice picture spot to show friends and family.

u/princess_k_bladawiec 1d ago

So far I've seen the people complaining about the vandalism linked to "the gay agenda", Israel and Ukraine. I'm currently waiting for our patridiotic minions to poop their panties about the fact that the street right next to the staircase was named after Andrij Potebnia.

u/Wittusus Mieszkaniec | Inhabitant 1d ago

So they prefer stepping on the national flag's colors instead of something remotely similar to the colors they hate, curious... Maybe we should repaint it for Russian flag's colors

u/badman66666 23h ago

It looks way better now, if only they did it properly and didnt leave those unpainted edges...

u/BarekM 1d ago

Before you start shitposting you should know that the colors there were basically gone. It was not repainted in years. I was there 2-3 weekend ago.

u/Niawka 1d ago

Still doesn't make it ok.

-10

u/BarekM 1d ago

Why not ok, there were no colors left lol

11

u/Niawka 1d ago

Because painting a public space with whatever you personally think will look good is illegal.

-6

u/jozefNiepilsucki 1d ago edited 21h ago

I didn’t hear you protest when they painted them rainbow-colored.

EDIT: I didn't ask who did it, I asked if you protested. :)

Edit: because you can protest against legal decisions as well you cucks xD

11

u/Niawka 1d ago

Was it done illegally by some rando at night? Or was it an official, legal initiative? Also it's not rainbow colored, they were just colorful.

u/Gamebyter 1d ago

 official, legal initiative colored pencils with quotes by authors of "books"

Why would she protest in that situation if it was painted after an official decision and order by the city, and not painted randomly by someone who personally thought it would look good?

u/Gamebyter 1d ago

The city did it

u/MysteriousHunter1 1d ago

BTW - Someone mentioned that it had been the Almodovar colour theme. Would you agree?
