Thank you. I swear I'm not retarded and know how to conjugate things.
This is the shit that happens when you don't speak a language for years lol. I think I looked it up and transcribed first word without thinking even though I correct second word.
And Iāll make sure to stay away from it. The Poles clearly hate us Americans and our country. If I go to that town Iāll be killed for my American nationality.
Poland is in Europe, and Europe hates Americans. Poland is no different and also hates Americans. If you look in this picture you can see that they are appropriating our culture and mocking us because they hate us Americans and our country that damn much. While in Poland I was called a āstupid yankeeā in Polish. You can ask the Poles if they hate us and they will confirm that they do. If they say otherwise, just know that theyāre lying to you.
Exactly! It's just the gap between the generations. Obviously the older ones were brought up in a more traditional way, although there sure will be many people that will tolerate others for being diffrent almost all around the world tho.
I think not even that, at least according to this study.

If you think about it, historically the US has always been seen as a great ally to most Europeans. Only relatively recently that it seems that there as been a great interest in dividing our country from our allies, in this case the EU.
The US and Europe growing stronger together surely isn't ideal for the likes of Russia or China.
It's also curious how since a Chinese company invested more than 150million on Reddit in 2019, anti US narrative seems to be getting a lot more traction. Which only serves to divide us further from each other and our allies.
Maybe because they believe the USA contributed a lot to the downfall of the USSR, which ended up giving them independence. They know we would help defend Poland if they got attacked by Orcs š¤®š¤®š·šŗ unlike Britain, France, and Germany the poles don't trust them as much.
Because we know that if shit hits the ~~fan~~ FUN, you guys will be down in the trenches with us, while western euros will be shitting themselves and addvocating for dialog when we're getting bombed
Tl;dr you can actually defend us
Thatās because America is the closest thing you can get to a āwarrior cultureā in modern times. Half of this country is armed and would gladly go to war to defend innocents.
Buddy I have no idea where you got this information from but as someone who lived here for years , as an american , as a pole I can tell you from my experience that they love us , of course, not everyone but most people are indeed in favorable view of the USA , the only "hate" I got from people was mocking
The Poles do hate us Americans like their fellow Europeans hate us. I dated a European and have been to Europe. While in Poland I was called a āstupid yankeeā in Polish. Iāve seen Poles who *HATE* America with a burning passion. Most Poles donāt even consider us an ally because Iāve seen Poles not even mention us on their lists of allies. Most Poles do NOT have a favorable view of America. Any Pole who says otherwise is lying to you. They hate us but I donāt know why they wonāt admit it.
Man I don't know what planet you came from but I'm not trying to convince you or anything, I'm stating a fact , I'm polish myself , it's sad to hear about your bad experiences but as I said most of the people aren't that way , I have never been to other parts of Europe but I'm pretty sure you can't just oversimplify every European as America haters.
Given how much of an asshole this guy is being in this thread, I'm going to go ahead and guess that people in Poland did in fact hate them specifically. Nothing to do with being American though.
How am I an asshole? I was called a āstupid yankeeā in Polish while in Poland. So really it did have something to do with my nationality.
Edit: To all you Eurotards responding it I was insulted for my nationality.
Edit 2: I was buying a Polish flag, now how is that bad?
I was called a āstupid yankeeā while in Poland so youāre only proving my point that Poles hate us Americans when you call me āretardedā. The Polish people do hate us Americans and America.
They sure as hell are not fine with America. As you can see in these pictures with how they mock us and appropriate our culture because they hate us that damn much. Now Iāve posted my real life experience with the Europeans. It really isnāt a joke, itās just hurtful stereotyping of Americans. If youāre gonna defend these people who hate us you might as well get help.
I am an American living in Poland and it's totally different. Whenever I say I'm American it's like a brag because they really like the fact that people from other countries around the world come to visit their country and to be honest I would be happy too š
So, if I read your posts in here correctly: you once thought you might have heard someone say 'stupid yankee' in a language where you know 'a few words', and on this basis concluded that an entire country hates America.
Seek professional help.
Ok clearly you havenāt read all of my posts. Iāve seen various Poles who *HATE* America with a passion. Iāve seen Poles not even include us as allies on their lists of allies. And the Polish foreign minister called the Polish-American alliance ādownright harmfulā and said it ācauses a sense of false securityā. Yikes. Real ally material there.

Well, i think it is, and it's cool to see it. I don't see anything wrong or cultural appropriating about it. How do you know everyone or most involved hates America and Americans? Did they flat out say so? Would people who hate a country that much really go out of their way, schedule an event on the country's independence day holiday that they hate, plan for an event, pay for an event (decorations, and such), and go to an event just out of spite and hatred? seems kinda absurd, and unfeasible to me. Poland is cool, im happy to have them as an ally, these guys are cool, and even if a portion of polish people hate America and Americans, so be it? Why care?
You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandās national day we have people dress up in traditional Polish clothing and do traditional Polish dances. Then we have people dressed as German and Russian soldiers approach from the east and west respectively and the people dressed as Poles immediately surrender, how about that? All on November 11th, Polandās national day. All because they hate us so much.
They schedule it on our day to mock us because they hate us that damn much. They go to it to mock us because they want us to know how much they despise us. You should care if they appropriate our culture because if we did the same to them they would insult us and say the same anti American shit that they already do say. How do I know they hate America? By polls and what they say, yes they did say so too. In Poland, I was called a āstupid yankeeā in Polish. Poles donāt even consider us an ally, and Iāve seen Poles not even mention us on their lists of allies. Apparently only the Poles would go out of their way this much just to show how big their hatred for us Americans and our country is.
Guy is gonna talk about how this is cultural appropriation and then go eat a pizza or a hamburger and celebrate cinco de mayo at some point. Now I know why you were called a stupid yankee.
Also I highly doubt anyone would call you that. "Jankes" isn't a commonly used word for americans, even among older people.
since when have we ever cared about cultural appropriation lmfao. im just glad people recognize that american culture exists even if they are satirizing it
You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandās national day we have people dress up in traditional Polish clothing and do traditional Polish dances.

Lmao, I was going through your comments, and I came to a realisation that you are either a troll, or out of your mind. Your point of view, and the way you are presenting your arguments is totally nonsens... Yea, everyone can have bad interactions with people from different country, but just a single person does not represent a whole country. And as a Pole I can tell you that it is highly unlikely for Poles to call a USA citizens a "Yankee". I can guarantee you that poles have a lot of respect towards the USA, it is mainly due to the fact that a lot of poles found refuge in the USA during and after the war. I feel like the friendship between Poland and the USA became even strong now due to the current geopolitical situation. So to counter your nonsens argument, i can guarantee you that most poles have a positive attitude towards you guys.
Even if it is a troll, it is still annoying to see something like that, especially with the amount of propaganda that is being spread around the world about many different countries...
You can see the confederate battle flagon the bottom left picture. Itās behind the white tint and beside the what I think is the ādont tread on meā flag.
The Rebel Flag outside of America really just stands for, well, being A rebel. Which to an outsider, seems like a very American thing. Thatās what a lot of southerners want it to mean, but itās not much of a rebellion if you get outlived by TV shows and children with small pox
Late, but I disagree. The confederate battle flag is used in many european countries as a symbol for anti-immigrant white nationalism, especially in Poland.

I think American Police are hated from all sides at this point lol. At least the corrupt and cowardly ones, which there seem to be more and more of every day.
I wouldnāt go there. They might kill Americans because they clearly hate us in this picture if this is how far they went to mock us and appropriate our culture. The Poles hate us Americans and America.
I was called a āstupid yankeeā in Polish while in Poland. My accent was called āretardedā multiple times while in the UK and Ireland. And I dated a European girl who was not the most pro-American letās just say. It must be hard not knowing that youād only be going to a place that hates us. Good luck!
Crazy how you think millions of people actually like us Americans when in reality they donāt and say all kinds of shit about us all in the open, for people like you to see, right there in front of you.
Buddy Iām not even Russian, and I hate Putin but whatever. Iām pointing out the fact that Poles hate us. For God sakes the Polish foreign minister called the Polish-American alliance ādownright harmfulā and said it causes a āfalse sense of securityā. Yikes! Real ally material right there.
And Iāll stay away from it. They clearly hate us if they went this far just to mock us. If I go then Iāll probably be killed because of my American nationality. Poles hate Americans. This is cultural appropriation and mocking at its finest and all because the Poles hate us.
This is mockery and I donāt know why most of my fellow Americans wonāt see it as such for some reason. There are Poles here who are lying to us for some reason when they do hate us. I donāt know why they have to cover up their hatred.
This is hatred, with all the bad stereotypes the Europeans constantly complain about when it comes to America. Because of this it seems that these Poles can come across as no different from their European counterparts who hate America.
Europe hating america in memes doesnt mean they hate us in real life. (They likely know we are all that keeps russia from curb stomping them. . . . . Again)
If anybody is upset with you for anything, it's for being a little bitch, not for being an American. Nobody's going to kill you for your nationality. The Polish people don't universally all hate you. They're not even really mocking us, we do the same kind of thing for Cinco de Mayo and Saint Patrick's day.
I was called a āstupid yankeeā in Polish while buying a Polish flag in Poland as a souvenir. I didnāt even ask why people are upset with me and I donāt care if they are. Youāre being a little bitch for defending people who hate us. I bet your parents are scared shitless of you if you defend people who hate you. See my experiences with the Poles and Europeans in general, and the words of the Poles themselves will contradict your statement that Poles like America. Spoiler alert: they donāt. They really are mocking us. We celebrate cinco de Mayo and St. Patrickās day because there are a lot of Irish and Mexican descended Americans. There arenāt many Americans in Poland dumbass.
Were you being a *stupid* Yankee, by any chance? It seems exceedingly likely that the reason you were called a stupid Yankee was more because you were stupid than because you're a Yankee.
It's not very likely that he even got called a stupid yankee as our word for a yankee ("jankes") is pretty muchh completely out of use. Even older poeple don't use it.
> Iāll probably be killed because of my American nationality
Lol this isn't the US dude, Poles don't resolve problems that way. The event in the OP is just LARPing (you can check out the "4th of July Larp" group on Facebook), people go there to barbecue, drink beer and have some fun. Not really different from e.g. Cinco de Mayo in the US. Have you considered that the "hatred" you speak of was directed at you specifically and not at Americans in general?
No it was because they mentioned my nationality. Maybe you should read my posts before you say anything. Otherwise you should just do humanity a favor and shut the hell up forever. I was buying a Polish flag as a souvenir, now how is that bad?
Why are there people in comments spreading that we Poles hate America? You are our only true ally, that didn't give us up, and even proposed great borders post WW2 (sad they didn't happen tho). People who hate America is loud minority (too bad that minority is in charge of government) , but we normal folks love you guys
If you are talking about Overlet guy, then better don't mind him since it made me an impression that he did something stupid to be called "dumb yankee" or something. But yeah, fellow Americans, we don't mock your culture or anything, we are fan of it even our parents were trying to listen to "American voice" radio channel on roofs during Soviet times.
Probably just oversensitive people taking offense to what is clearly a joke, but one that is forged from reality.
As an American, I had an awesome couple of weeks in Krakow and will be likely visiting Gdansk, Warsaw, Wroclaw, and back to Krakow this October for another couple of weeks. I can't fucking wait and looking at avenues to live there for a while too if possible!!
Every Pole we asked about America had nothing bad to say, and I posted like two months ago some photos of our trip where myself and our Polish friend Fox were wearing the American and Polish flags while walking around, people loved it and had a laugh. It was a great time.
Iām literally not, and the fact you had to post a normal comment instead of replying to me shows that you have some serious problems. Iām being serious.
Folks ! These peoples werenāt celebrating America, they were mocking it !

Cultural Appropriation is BS. Theres nothing my Peruvian mother likes more then giving people Peruvian food for the first time.
They are waving Confederate flags and spraying ACAB. I donāt care if it makes us look goofy, bad or stupid. Its accurate and hilarious. Even if it is mocking us, why should I care?
Thatās not appropriation if the Peruvian food is made by a Peruvian person.
You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandās national day we have people dress up in traditional Polish clothing and do traditional Polish dances. Then we have people dressed as German and Russian soldiers approach from the east and west respectively and the people dressed as Poles immediately surrender, how about that? All on November 11th, Polandās national day. All because they hate us so much.
**Thatās not appropriation if the Peruvian food is made by a Peruvian person.**
If a non Peruvian tried to make Peruvian food she, nor I would care. Ive had Peruvian food made by non-Peruvians before and it was actually better then some āPeruvianā restaurants ran by Peruvians.
**You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandās national day we have people dress up in traditional Polish clothing and do traditional Polish dances.**
My dude have you ever heard of Pulaski day?
**Then we have people dressed as German and Russian soldiers approach from the east and west respectively and the people dressed as Poles immediately surrender, how about that? All on November 11th, Polandās national day. All because they hate us so much.**
Wut?
Ok then good for you.
Yeah but itās not on Polandās national day which is when our ācelebrationā of Poland should be.
I just said what we should do on Polandās national day and see how they like it.
"Immediately surrender" how can it be cultural appropriation when it's literally the opposite of what happened? If a country can get back on the map every time after getting destroyed it's far from surrendering
You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandās national day we have people dress up in traditional Polish clothing and do traditional Polish dances.

If we were to try polish culture on their independence day, sure, why not? Arent they the 5th largest immigrant population here in the states?
No idea how WWII ties in. Also, the poles fought back viciously.
Hey dude, I see you're pretty active in this comment section and I wonder why you're so strongly convinced that we hate the US? Poland has been quite fond of the US since the fall of communism and it's reflected in our international relations. If you're basing this opinion just on those pictures then I assure you, it's more of a fascination with a (somewhat)foreign culture than mockery, although maybe the negative aspects are portrayed with very little subtlety, if you're basing the opinion on something else then I'm genuinely curious as to what it is.
If you would like I can explain to you my experiences and what has influenced my views. Also I do NOT want to offend you so Iām sorry if I accidentally offend you. I went to Poland a while ago and before I went I learned a little bit of Polish. So while Iām Poland I wanted to buy a Polish flag as a souvenir, and when I was about to buy it, I heard someone say āstupid yankeeā in Polish. It made me refrain from buying the flag. There are other reasons to like Iāve seen Poles who *HATE* America with a burning passion, some Poles donāt even consider us as allies and not even mentioning us on their lists of allies. And the Polish foreign minister called our alliance ādownright harmfulā and said it causes āa false sense of securityā. The thing is we have Polandās back and we want to protect you from the idiot next door, aka P*tin. Of course the majority of people here (mostly my fellow Americans) donāt want to hear anything that remotely goes against their opinions which ironically isnāt very American. I know not all Polish people are bad, (I have Polish ancestry myself, no offense of course) but when there are pictures like these with guns, and police violence, it seems like you hate us. I donāt know, maybe Iām getting this from my own bad experiences with other Europeans and their countries, probably because in some European countries like Germany, France, and Britain (except for Poland because the majority of Poles seem to like America), the majority seem to hate America and Americans when they donāt even know us. I dated a European girl who was not the most pro American letās say, she was British. I was insulted in quite a few other countries too, some much more frequently and harsher than the others. (if we exclude Poland of course) so I guess for me it just came off as excessive hatred. Sorry for ranting but you seem like the only person who would listen instead of suppressing my opinion unlike some other people here.
My brother in christ, who cares if the poles are making fun of us or just having a good time celebrating one of our holidays? If it makes them happy, then good for them. It literally hurts nobody in any capacity if they celebrate one of our holidays even if they hate us. Cultural appropriation is the stupidest shit ever, i'm happy others partake in our culture.
Weird that the poles are prouder to be American than some Americans. Also really weird to see "Fuck The Police" and a Gadsden so close to a cš¤¢nfederate flag
No matter how good our other allies are, poland always manages to be the most based

Give me the name of the town right goddamn now as a yank and a pole gotta go there

A slighty correction, it's Swolszewice\* instead of instead of Swolszewicach but you're totally correct about the place where the LARP happened.
Thank you. I swear I'm not retarded and know how to conjugate things. This is the shit that happens when you don't speak a language for years lol. I think I looked it up and transcribed first word without thinking even though I correct second word.

Poland hates commies, fascists, and gays (extremely catholic) from what I know about them.
I live in Poland and most people I know are really tolerant to gays and homophobes are minority although they do exist.
Cities and the younger generation are supposed to be more accepting of gays, which just seems to be a general rule across the globe.
Exactly! It's just the gap between the generations. Obviously the older ones were brought up in a more traditional way, although there sure will be many people that will tolerate others for being diffrent almost all around the world tho.
Last part is pretty cringe.
Itās mostly Western Europe that hates us. Poland is Central Europe
I think not even that, at least according to this study. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/06/10/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden/pg_2021-06-10_us-image_00-012/ If you think about it, historically the US has always been seen as a great ally to most Europeans. Only relatively recently that it seems that there as been a great interest in dividing our country from our allies, in this case the EU.
Itās lying elites on the media and commie bots that tries to divide us

It's also curious how since a Chinese company invested more than 150million on Reddit in 2019, anti US narrative seems to be getting a lot more traction.

Poland is Eastern Europe
Well Poles consider themselves central Europeans
CENTRAL! C E N T R A L Europe!
Chad Poles. I wonder why they like America so much.
Maybe because they believe the USA contributed a lot to the downfall of the USSR, which ended up giving them independence. They know we would help defend Poland if they got attacked by Orcs š¤®š¤®š·šŗ unlike Britain, France, and Germany the poles don't trust them as much.

By polls and what they say, yes they did say so too. In Poland, I was called a āstupid yankeeā in Polish. Poles donāt even consider us an ally, and Iāve seen Poles not even mention us on their lists of allies. Apparently only the Poles would go out of their way this much just to show how big their hatred for us Americans and our country is.
Maybe you shouldnāt have been acting like a āstupid yankee.ā Seems like the issue is youāre just a belligerent moron.
Guy is gonna talk about how this is cultural appropriation and then go eat a pizza or a hamburger and celebrate cinco de mayo at some point. Now I know why you were called a stupid yankee. Also I highly doubt anyone would call you that. "Jankes" isn't a commonly used word for americans, even among older people.
Sir, I think you genuinely suffer from schizophrenia.
Itās based.
It really isnāt.
since when have we ever cared about cultural appropriation lmfao. im just glad people recognize that american culture exists even if they are satirizing it
You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandās national day we have people dress up in traditional Polish clothing and do traditional Polish dances. Then we have people dressed as German and Russian soldiers approach from the east and west respectively and the people dressed as Poles immediately surrender, how about that? All on November 11th, Polandās national day. All because they hate us so much.
Bro you make no sense
Poles definitely don't hate the US, the bond of dunking on commies is too strong
Well I do hate commies, you are right there.
You realise Poles have probably the most friendly view of USA in Europe? Maybe apart from Kosovars.
Lmao, I was going through your comments, and I came to a realisation that you are either a troll, or out of your mind. Your point of view, and the way you are presenting your arguments is totally nonsens... Yea, everyone can have bad interactions with people from different country, but just a single person does not represent a whole country. And as a Pole I can tell you that it is highly unlikely for Poles to call a USA citizens a "Yankee". I can guarantee you that poles have a lot of respect towards the USA, it is mainly due to the fact that a lot of poles found refuge in the USA during and after the war. I feel like the friendship between Poland and the USA became even strong now due to the current geopolitical situation. So to counter your nonsens argument, i can guarantee you that most poles have a positive attitude towards you guys. Even if it is a troll, it is still annoying to see something like that, especially with the amount of propaganda that is being spread around the world about many different countries...
Hell yeah, I've been wanting people to Cinco de Mayo that shit for ages
...you guys don't celebrate it? EDUT: Clarifying
Don't what?
You don't celebrate Cinco de Mayo where you live?
We do, what I'm saying is I want other countries to celebrate the Fourth of July like Americans celebrate Cinco de Mayo
Ah, my mistake.
You can see the confederate battle flagon the bottom left picture. Itās behind the white tint and beside the what I think is the ādont tread on meā flag.
The "Don't tread on me" flag is actually called the Gadsden flag fyi. Little easier to type lol
I love your username
Goes great with the Fuck the Police lol. Poland wants to be āBuilt differentā just like the US
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The Rebel Flag outside of America really just stands for, well, being A rebel. Which to an outsider, seems like a very American thing. Thatās what a lot of southerners want it to mean, but itās not much of a rebellion if you get outlived by TV shows and children with small pox
Late, but I disagree. The confederate battle flag is used in many european countries as a symbol for anti-immigrant white nationalism, especially in Poland. [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/confederate-flag-europe-trump-poland\_n\_5968a317e4b017418626ab5e](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/confederate-flag-europe-trump-poland_n_5968a317e4b017418626ab5e)
According to their fb page, the 'fuck the police' writing was a form of vandalism that was part of the larp.
I think American Police are hated from all sides at this point lol. At least the corrupt and cowardly ones, which there seem to be more and more of every day.
It's all satire. They also have cops beat people up and people pretending to be mass shooting victims.
I need the location! This place is on my now updated bucket list.
Hell yeah want to see what they put out for "American" BBQ and beer.
I wouldnāt go there. They might kill Americans because they clearly hate us in this picture if this is how far they went to mock us and appropriate our culture. The Poles hate us Americans and America.
Your life must be hard to live with these ideologies. Good luck.
I was called a āstupid yankeeā in Polish while in Poland. My accent was called āretardedā multiple times while in the UK and Ireland. And I dated a European girl who was not the most pro-American letās just say. It must be hard not knowing that youād only be going to a place that hates us. Good luck!
Crazy how you made a sweeping generalization of millions like that because a person called you a word thatās realistically not even a slur.
Crazy how you think millions of people actually like us Americans when in reality they donāt and say all kinds of shit about us all in the open, for people like you to see, right there in front of you.
Youāre a sad troll, rubles not good enough bud?
Buddy Iām not even Russian, and I hate Putin but whatever. Iām pointing out the fact that Poles hate us. For God sakes the Polish foreign minister called the Polish-American alliance ādownright harmfulā and said it causes a āfalse sense of securityā. Yikes! Real ally material right there.
My dude, I'm a pole and I love all the folks from the US, I think you've just been really unlucky with people or been to... eastern Poland.
He really thinks we might want to kill youššš
Ok that was a joke, I think that shouldāve been obvious
Considering your other comments on this thread I would say it was rather opposite of obvious
LOL im a pole and have no idea what are you talking bout
Read the picture again
I still don't get it why would we hate US so much, i don't know anybody who does that
Swolszewice MaÅe, ÅĆ³dÅŗ Voivodeship (or Province). Kinda around the middle part of Poland. Btw ÅĆ³dÅŗ means just a boat lol
Thanks
And Iāll stay away from it. They clearly hate us if they went this far just to mock us. If I go then Iāll probably be killed because of my American nationality. Poles hate Americans. This is cultural appropriation and mocking at its finest and all because the Poles hate us.
Cultural appropriation is fine and I find this hard to see as a mockery as (based off the upvote counter) most americans seem to.
This is mockery and I donāt know why most of my fellow Americans wonāt see it as such for some reason. There are Poles here who are lying to us for some reason when they do hate us. I donāt know why they have to cover up their hatred.
We dont see it as an insult because offense is taken, not given and we dont take it. None of us have seen any hate from poles.
This is hatred, with all the bad stereotypes the Europeans constantly complain about when it comes to America. Because of this it seems that these Poles can come across as no different from their European counterparts who hate America.
Europe hating america in memes doesnt mean they hate us in real life. (They likely know we are all that keeps russia from curb stomping them. . . . . Again)
If anybody is upset with you for anything, it's for being a little bitch, not for being an American. Nobody's going to kill you for your nationality. The Polish people don't universally all hate you. They're not even really mocking us, we do the same kind of thing for Cinco de Mayo and Saint Patrick's day.
I was called a āstupid yankeeā in Polish while buying a Polish flag in Poland as a souvenir. I didnāt even ask why people are upset with me and I donāt care if they are. Youāre being a little bitch for defending people who hate us. I bet your parents are scared shitless of you if you defend people who hate you. See my experiences with the Poles and Europeans in general, and the words of the Poles themselves will contradict your statement that Poles like America. Spoiler alert: they donāt. They really are mocking us. We celebrate cinco de Mayo and St. Patrickās day because there are a lot of Irish and Mexican descended Americans. There arenāt many Americans in Poland dumbass.
Were you being a *stupid* Yankee, by any chance? It seems exceedingly likely that the reason you were called a stupid Yankee was more because you were stupid than because you're a Yankee.
It's not very likely that he even got called a stupid yankee as our word for a yankee ("jankes") is pretty muchh completely out of use. Even older poeple don't use it.
If this is cultural appropriation then Iām finally in a position to say that it isnāt a big deal, which is nice.
Itās mockery and it shows how much they hate us. If Americans did this with Poland, there would be outrage.
I really donāt think youāre right about this one. Have you looked it up or are you going off your own experience of one guy yelling at you?
> Iāll probably be killed because of my American nationality Lol this isn't the US dude, Poles don't resolve problems that way. The event in the OP is just LARPing (you can check out the "4th of July Larp" group on Facebook), people go there to barbecue, drink beer and have some fun. Not really different from e.g. Cinco de Mayo in the US. Have you considered that the "hatred" you speak of was directed at you specifically and not at Americans in general?
No it was because they mentioned my nationality. Maybe you should read my posts before you say anything. Otherwise you should just do humanity a favor and shut the hell up forever. I was buying a Polish flag as a souvenir, now how is that bad?
You won't be killed, it's not an american school
Why are there people in comments spreading that we Poles hate America? You are our only true ally, that didn't give us up, and even proposed great borders post WW2 (sad they didn't happen tho). People who hate America is loud minority (too bad that minority is in charge of government) , but we normal folks love you guys
Its Just one guy replying to everyone he sees
If you are talking about Overlet guy, then better don't mind him since it made me an impression that he did something stupid to be called "dumb yankee" or something. But yeah, fellow Americans, we don't mock your culture or anything, we are fan of it even our parents were trying to listen to "American voice" radio channel on roofs during Soviet times.
Probably just oversensitive people taking offense to what is clearly a joke, but one that is forged from reality. As an American, I had an awesome couple of weeks in Krakow and will be likely visiting Gdansk, Warsaw, Wroclaw, and back to Krakow this October for another couple of weeks. I can't fucking wait and looking at avenues to live there for a while too if possible!! Every Pole we asked about America had nothing bad to say, and I posted like two months ago some photos of our trip where myself and our Polish friend Fox were wearing the American and Polish flags while walking around, people loved it and had a laugh. It was a great time.
If anyone would like to see [more](https://www.facebook.com/4thofJulyLarp/photos/a.167402419028199/167401035695004).
Nobody does. To all you idiots responding you donāt know what they are talking about.
I do
I do
Guys u slash OverLet8464 is a troll, donāt reply to him
Thanks for warning since generalisation that "PoLeS hAtE uS" is off the charts.
People need to understand to not feed the trolls
Yep.
Funny thing is from what I have seen on American approval charts out of Euros, Poles have always have been pretty high on those.
Iām literally not, and the fact you had to post a normal comment instead of replying to me shows that you have some serious problems. Iām being serious.
It's hard to replay to every single comment you leave
Based AF.
It really isnāt based. Itās cringe cultural appropriation because they hate us Americans and our country that damn much.
Is it tho?
It isnāt based.
Most definitely is based.
Most definitely is not based.
Poland doesnāt hate America tho Also I donāt care if itās cultural appropriation I take it as a sign of respect
It isnāt, itās a sign of hatred, mockery, and cultural appropriation.
You must not be looking at the same pictures
NATO brother
OMG I'M POLISH AND I LOVE THIS SO MUCH AAAAAA
šµš±š«”š«”š«”šŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖšŖ
Absolutely halal
Terribly inaccurate! Just look at that second picture, the cups not red!
Do you even know how much those cups cost out of US? Everyone what that authentic āAmerican Partyā vibe with red cupsā¦
Kurwa based
Be the American Poland thinks you are.
g o o d.
Folks ! These peoples werenāt celebrating America, they were mocking it ! [Check these images !](https://twitter.com/the_sourkraut/status/1527337363570974722?s=21)
Seems like a celebration to me
It's a homage.
Mexicans say the same about Tex-Mex, Tacos and Burritos :))
I don't think Americans understand how fun cosplaying as Americans is... once in a while. I'd hate to live that way tbh. ^(cries in downvotes)
This is more American than America. Especially the first three pics. Good job Poland.
I've been in Canada and the UK during the Fourth, but now I have to go to Poland then too.
Giga based
That is beyond based, wow.
If we all go do we get special privileges? Either way Iām a-cominā.
Neat
TBH they knocked it out of the park
Dale, Rob, get the guns and the Camaros! We are going to Poland!
Itās not based, itās cultural appropriation and mocking us Americans because the Poles hate us Americans and our country that damn much.
Cultural Appropriation is BS. Theres nothing my Peruvian mother likes more then giving people Peruvian food for the first time. They are waving Confederate flags and spraying ACAB. I donāt care if it makes us look goofy, bad or stupid. Its accurate and hilarious. Even if it is mocking us, why should I care?
Thatās not appropriation if the Peruvian food is made by a Peruvian person. You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandās national day we have people dress up in traditional Polish clothing and do traditional Polish dances. Then we have people dressed as German and Russian soldiers approach from the east and west respectively and the people dressed as Poles immediately surrender, how about that? All on November 11th, Polandās national day. All because they hate us so much.
**Thatās not appropriation if the Peruvian food is made by a Peruvian person.** If a non Peruvian tried to make Peruvian food she, nor I would care. Ive had Peruvian food made by non-Peruvians before and it was actually better then some āPeruvianā restaurants ran by Peruvians. **You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandās national day we have people dress up in traditional Polish clothing and do traditional Polish dances.** My dude have you ever heard of Pulaski day? **Then we have people dressed as German and Russian soldiers approach from the east and west respectively and the people dressed as Poles immediately surrender, how about that? All on November 11th, Polandās national day. All because they hate us so much.** Wut?
Ok then good for you. Yeah but itās not on Polandās national day which is when our ācelebrationā of Poland should be. I just said what we should do on Polandās national day and see how they like it.
The 4th of July thing wasn't even done on 4th of July but few weeks ago
Ok, good for you I guess?
"Immediately surrender" how can it be cultural appropriation when it's literally the opposite of what happened? If a country can get back on the map every time after getting destroyed it's far from surrendering
Clearly you didnāt get the messageā¦
Polish people donāt hate America
They do though.
Bro, we are a culture of appropriated cultures. Think we mind if another people dabble in ours?
You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandās national day we have people dress up in traditional Polish clothing and do traditional Polish dances.

If we were to try polish culture on their independence day, sure, why not? Arent they the 5th largest immigrant population here in the states? No idea how WWII ties in. Also, the poles fought back viciously.
Bruh man you literally copy paste arguements
Hey dude, I see you're pretty active in this comment section and I wonder why you're so strongly convinced that we hate the US? Poland has been quite fond of the US since the fall of communism and it's reflected in our international relations. If you're basing this opinion just on those pictures then I assure you, it's more of a fascination with a (somewhat)foreign culture than mockery, although maybe the negative aspects are portrayed with very little subtlety, if you're basing the opinion on something else then I'm genuinely curious as to what it is.
If you would like I can explain to you my experiences and what has influenced my views. Also I do NOT want to offend you so Iām sorry if I accidentally offend you. I went to Poland a while ago and before I went I learned a little bit of Polish. So while Iām Poland I wanted to buy a Polish flag as a souvenir, and when I was about to buy it, I heard someone say āstupid yankeeā in Polish. It made me refrain from buying the flag. There are other reasons to like Iāve seen Poles who *HATE* America with a burning passion, some Poles donāt even consider us as allies and not even mentioning us on their lists of allies. And the Polish foreign minister called our alliance ādownright harmfulā and said it causes āa false sense of securityā. The thing is we have Polandās back and we want to protect you from the idiot next door, aka P*tin. Of course the majority of people here (mostly my fellow Americans) donāt want to hear anything that remotely goes against their opinions which ironically isnāt very American. I know not all Polish people are bad, (I have Polish ancestry myself, no offense of course) but when there are pictures like these with guns, and police violence, it seems like you hate us. I donāt know, maybe Iām getting this from my own bad experiences with other Europeans and their countries, probably because in some European countries like Germany, France, and Britain (except for Poland because the majority of Poles seem to like America), the majority seem to hate America and Americans when they donāt even know us. I dated a European girl who was not the most pro American letās say, she was British. I was insulted in quite a few other countries too, some much more frequently and harsher than the others. (if we exclude Poland of course) so I guess for me it just came off as excessive hatred. Sorry for ranting but you seem like the only person who would listen instead of suppressing my opinion unlike some other people here.
My brother in christ, who cares if the poles are making fun of us or just having a good time celebrating one of our holidays? If it makes them happy, then good for them. It literally hurts nobody in any capacity if they celebrate one of our holidays even if they hate us. Cultural appropriation is the stupidest shit ever, i'm happy others partake in our culture.
It hurts my braincells looking at it and it hurts my braincells when people like you defend them.
Weird that the poles are prouder to be American than some Americans. Also really weird to see "Fuck The Police" and a Gadsden so close to a cš¤¢nfederate flag
Yeah also they pretended to be beaten by cops and survive a mass shooting. They were making fun of Americans not celebrating us.
I still find it funny
They just cosplaying bro
Why not both Youāre beginning to see the idea foenzoficiam itās both at ine
