No worries, immigrants aren’t lining up to settle in Poland.
But maybe they want polish people to return to their homeland from the UK?

- 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 When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title.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, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- 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 other communities.
- 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.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 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 admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

TAX. THE. RICH.
A manufactured crisis because capitalism 🤡
”Migration…has not solved the problem; it has only brought ghettoisation, assimilation problems, social unrest, and everything else western Europe is grappling with today,” said Nawrocki.
Migration has not brought those problems. Your political system is the problem. Would you expect people to reproduce when you ban abortion, push women into caregiver roles and rank one of the lowest in LGBTQ+ rights in the Europe.
In other words you’re not so great at human rights, so why would humans make more humans in Poland?
Also, it might help if Nawrocki wouldn’t sound like right wing asswipe in the quote.
The prioritization of the "normal family" has been a staple piece of right wing rhetoric since the nazis. Its so transparent its actually laughable. Just accept the fact that degrowth is the future.
Its so transparent its actually laughable.
It's only transparent to people who have studied modern history, and political history, which is why the fascist oligarchs have built a global propaganda network targeting the self proclaimed "not political". It's much easier to con the ignorant, uneducated, selfish, sociopathic, &/or psychopathic.
Again "immigrants are a problem". It's the fucking rich that are destroying countries world-wide. Tax their wealth. This guy is just a pawn of the rich.
Far right racist, says far right racist things, news at 12! /s
We must “promote the idea that family is the most important thing; this is our Polish response to the demographic crisis
Wither and die then 👍
I mean that's a valid option too, instead of "line must go up 📈", eternal growth mindset. Could be more sustainable too to allow populations to shrink.
Sure, but it generates a lot of problems.
The biggest problem: How can the older generation live if the younger generation can't support them?
taxing the rich properly for once oughta do it (& preventing their own human and capital flight)
It's a problem right now because the whole system has been built for eternally bigger profits and eternal growth. And it will be an issue while there's a big elderly population. But that's an issue right now and in the future, with the mindset of sustainability it won't really be an issue.
The thing is with a smaller population, you still have all the stuff developed for a country with a much larger population. So you do not have to put work into building more housing, transport infrastructure and so forth. That work can then be used to support the elderly. The bigger part of that is that less workers means the ratio between capital and workers shifts in favour of the workers. So they can ask for higher wages.
The usually converts a lot of mindsets from "let's build the future" into "fight for dwindling resources" and results in a quite toxic community.
Uhh...the resources dwindle faster with more people, so I'm not understanding your point
I think it would be healthy to try and find an acceptable balance where you are able to keep up the lifestyle and still have people comfortable. The idea that the economy must always be growing, profits must always be higher and we must always have more and newer stuff is going to ruin the planet.
It's called social dumping, and all the executives and politicians love it - off camera of course.
But then they start complaining about leopards eating faces and how mozlems are scawwy - even though Norway has received a TON of socially dumped Polish workers.
Perhaps it's time we send them back then.
Massive amounts of foreign workers who often are paid less, do shittier jobs and face much more abuse from corporations and employers (and in general) to try and get that ever so important gdp growth and often to get away from paying proper wages, following union rules etc. It was always a pretty sketchy plan fit for the wealthy owning class.
-- Mściwoj, look it's a picture of a normal family
-- Make it more yellow
-- What?
Poland must at all costs be protected from the humiliation of having its culture defiled by some equivalents of chicken tikka masala or döner kebab arising in it
/s?
Tikka masala and döner kebab are the much older cultures. If Polish culture is so advanced, why could communism hold back science, art and ingenuity so much that the West could outpace the East?
Too late, kebab is already a national dish 🤷
