Poland must be "defended from pathological spread of homosexuality", says opposition leader Kaczyński

    My favorite story about Kaczyński is that like 20 years ago they tried to humanize him and finally get him married. He’s an old bachelor so he wasn’t very convincing talking about traditional family values. So they found this lady in his party and started pushing stories about them like how he was nice to her when she was elected for the first time, how he bought her flowers and so on. And then some tabloid took pictures of her spending the evening with some dude, him giving her red roses, them dancing in the streets and disappearing into her hotel with a bottle of wine. Turns out the guy was a priest. She claimed he was just an old friend but the whole “she and Kaczyński would be such a nice couple” topic was dropped and Kaczyński is still an old bachelor.

      Lmao yes, if they don’t steal the election there’s no way for them to win after this

        Yup. Today’s Russian near total surveillance began as “means to protect the children”.

        And Kaczyński just decides to regurgitate ideas from last country anyone should look up to.

          While his party was in power Poland donated pretty much entire stock of post-Soviet tanks and jets to Ukraine with no questions asked. At the same time Western Europe was making deals in return for military assistance. The only reason some people in Poland say Kaczyński is pro-Russia is that they’re too high on their own farts to remember that. Yeah, PiS are a bunch of sad little men but Russia doesn’t need to be involved, Poles have been a bunch of homophobes without need for external help.

          Coincidentally, I don’t think EU forcing Poland to recognise homosexual marriage is going to do any good for the cause. Poles have to decide it on their own, democratically rather than via rule of foreign judges. Kaczyński recognises this because he’s not dumb, so he’s going to use it.

        To be honest, that’s his own sincere belief and has been for decades. He has always been a homophobic reactionary, long before he turned into a crazy autocrat. I also doubt he is a big fan of Russia given that he blames Russia for the death of his twin brother (who was tragically the slightly less crazy of the two). That said, PiS has indeed moved closer towards Rusian propaganda over time. Make it make sense.

                You really went down the deep end of Russian propaganda for sure. If Russia had not invaded, twice, hundreds of thousands of Russian speakers, and that number is no hyperbole, would be still alive, instead of being dead. Russia killed also, by far, more Russian speaking Ukrainian civilians in this war than Ukraine did before the 2nd invasion. And even those that died because of Ukraine, only died because of the armed conflict that was entirely manufactured and kept up by Russia. I mean, they did not even bother to find Ukrainian figure head leaders for their fake “rebel” movement for years.

                Russian speaking Ukrainians did not have to fear torture, filtration camps, or their children being systematically kidnappped for reeducation thousands of km away… until Russia starting occupying their home regions. But yeah, both sides are equally bad according to Russian external propaganda.

                PS: You know one can defend rights of minorities without starting the bloodiest war in Europe since WW2. Yes, even bloodier than the entire chain of Yugoslavia wars, by far. It is called diplomacy. Ask Südtirol if that concept is foreign to you.

      Why else would he care about what other people are attracted to? Poor guy probably suppressed his homosexuality his whole life and thus is now very bitter about it.

      I mean I think he desires to gobble on a huge cock, but would never admit to being gay

    The only way to stop all that homosexuality stuff is to install a corrupt pedophile felon. A shining example is the US.

    I think a homosexual relationship must be awesome. You can play videogames with your partner and no one is complaining about it.
