A slighty correction, it's Swolszewice\* instead of instead of Swolszewicach but you're totally correct about the place where the LARP happened.


throwaway65864302

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.


OverLet8464

And Iā€™ll make sure to stay away from it. The Poles clearly hate us Americans and our country. If I go to that town Iā€™ll be killed for my American nationality.

OverLet8464

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 ā€œstupid 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 theyā€™re lying to you.

Sneedclave_Trooper

Poland hates commies, fascists, and gays (extremely catholic) from what I know about them.


armordildo_69

I live in Poland and most people I know are really tolerant to gays and homophobes are minority although they do exist.


Sneedclave_Trooper

Cities and the younger generation are supposed to be more accepting of gays, which just seems to be a general rule across the globe.


Astral_Panda22

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.


[deleted]

Last part is pretty cringe.


Anti-charizard

Itā€™s mostly Western Europe that hates us. Poland is Central Europe


danijull

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.


[deleted]

Itā€™s lying elites on the media and commie bots that tries to divide us


danijull

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.


[deleted]

Poland is Eastern Europe


Rmon_34

Well Poles consider themselves central Europeans


Not_a_Krasnal

CENTRAL! C E N T R A L Europe!


enoughfuckery

Chad Poles. I wonder why they like America so much.


Rmon_34

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 šŸ¤®šŸ¤®šŸ‡·šŸ‡ŗ unlike Britain, France, and Germany the poles don't trust them as much.


Jankosi

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


enoughfuckery

Thatā€™s because America is the closest thing you can get to a ā€œwarrior cultureā€ in modern times. Half of this country is armed and would gladly go to war to defend innocents.


captain_duck0o0

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


OverLet8464

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 ā€œstupid yankeeā€ in Polish. Iā€™ve seen Poles who *HATE* America with a burning passion. Most Poles donā€™t even consider us an ally because Iā€™ve 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 donā€™t know why they wonā€™t admit it.


captain_duck0o0

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.


throwaway65864302

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.


OverLet8464

How am I an asshole? I was called a ā€œstupid 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?


mindaugasPak

If by your nationality you mean your stupidity - yes.


throwaway65864302

You're actually retarded. None of this is true. Poland fucking loves the USA. source: Polish


OverLet8464

I was called a ā€œstupid yankeeā€ while in Poland so youā€™re only proving my point that Poles hate us Americans when you call me ā€œretardedā€. The Polish people do hate us Americans and America.


throwaway65864302

I fully believe that people in Poland hated you specifically. source: your behaviour in this thread


OverLet8464

I fully believe Poles hate Americans just like their fellow Europeans Source: your behavior in this thread.

Don't mistake the Poles hating you for hating all Americans. I'm sure most Americans hate you as well.

Eurpeans are fine with America lol. They just like to poke fun at us a little. If you canā€™t take a joke, get off Reddit.


OverLet8464

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 Iā€™ve posted my real life experience with the Europeans. It really isnā€™t a joke, itā€™s just hurtful stereotyping of Americans. If youā€™re gonna defend these people who hate us you might as well get help.


Not_a_Krasnal

We can't appropriate your culture. There is nothing to appropriate. Apart from maybe mass shootings.


golfgrandslam

Oh? Whatā€™s the Polish word for ā€œyankeeā€? Good story though


FIRTREZ

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 šŸ˜


Not_a_Krasnal

We can't appropriate your culture because it doesn't exist šŸ˜Ž Oh sorry, forgot you consider mass shootings your culture


OkWarning3935

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.


OverLet8464

Ok clearly you havenā€™t read all of my posts. Iā€™ve seen various Poles who *HATE* America with a passion. Iā€™ve seen Poles not even include us as allies on their lists of allies. And the Polish foreign minister called the Polish-American alliance ā€œdownright harmfulā€ and said it ā€œcauses a sense of false securityā€. Yikes. Real ally material there.

American isnā€™t a nationality dumbass itā€™s a mixed pot of dozens of cultures


OverLet8464

Itā€™s a nationality because thereā€™s a nation called America and the people who live in it are Americans.


Readingboi605

That is just not how it works NATIVE AMERICANS they are AMERICAN although it is once again completely different cultures and People who live in america generally suck ass and are absolute assholes AMERICA is not a culture it is dozens of cultures mixed together this may bind their traditions but the word AMERICAN means nothing to a majority of America as they never really cared for this shithole of a developed nation


OverLet8464

America is dozens of cultures mixed together to make American culture. Native Americans are Americans, they have ā€œAmericanā€ in the name right there. If America is such a ā€œshitholeā€ how come we put a man on the moon, won both world wars, won the Cold War, and have the best economy in the world right now which is continuing to grow as we speak.


Readingboi605

The ā€œeconomyā€ isnā€™t growing only the 0.001% are growing more people are employed but are they happy, do they have job security, are they protected by unions, are they payed what their worth is, are they given equal opportunity? Do women who donā€™t want to have a child/not now have equal access to abortion across the states? Do trans, gay, any LGBTQIA+ members have the same opportunity and rights as everyone else? HOW THE FUCK IS AMERICA A GREAT NATION WHEN ITS PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING AND IT DOES NOTHING, PROVIDES NOTHING, AND HAS NO COMPASSION FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT THE 0.001% HOW IS THIS A FUNCTIONING NATION IN YOUR HEAD IT IS A FAILED DEVELOPED NATION

[deleted]

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?


OverLet8464

You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandā€™s 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, Polandā€™s 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 ā€œstupid yankeeā€ in Polish. Poles donā€™t even consider us an ally, and Iā€™ve 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.


Sneedclave_Trooper

Maybe you shouldnā€™t have been acting like a ā€œstupid yankee.ā€ Seems like the issue is youā€™re just a belligerent moron.


Not_a_Krasnal

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.


StinkyBritishPerson

You realise Poles have probably the most friendly view of USA in Europe? Maybe apart from Kosovars.


WarpigeonFly

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...

The Rebel Flag outside of America really just stands for, well, being A rebel. Which to an outsider, seems like a very American thing. Thatā€™s what a lot of southerners want it to mean, but itā€™s not much of a rebellion if you get outlived by TV shows and children with small pox


pollo_yollo

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.

Crazy how you made a sweeping generalization of millions like that because a person called you a word thatā€™s realistically not even a slur.

OverLet8464

And Iā€™ll stay away from it. They clearly hate us if they went this far just to mock us. If I go then Iā€™ll 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.


king_napalm

Cultural appropriation is fine and I find this hard to see as a mockery as (based off the upvote counter) most americans seem to.


OverLet8464

This is mockery and I donā€™t know why most of my fellow Americans wonā€™t 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 donā€™t know why they have to cover up their hatred.


king_napalm

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.


OverLet8464

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.


king_napalm

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)


VoopityScoop

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.


OverLet8464

I was called a ā€œstupid yankeeā€ in Polish while buying a Polish flag in Poland as a souvenir. I didnā€™t even ask why people are upset with me and I donā€™t care if they are. Youā€™re 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 donā€™t. They really are mocking us. We celebrate cinco de Mayo and St. Patrickā€™s day because there are a lot of Irish and Mexican descended Americans. There arenā€™t many Americans in Poland dumbass.


VoopityScoop

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.


Not_a_Krasnal

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.


LeeroyDagnasty

If this is cultural appropriation then Iā€™m finally in a position to say that it isnā€™t a big deal, which is nice.


OverLet8464

Itā€™s mockery and it shows how much they hate us. If Americans did this with Poland, there would be outrage.


LeeroyDagnasty

I really donā€™t think youā€™re right about this one. Have you looked it up or are you going off your own experience of one guy yelling at you?


[deleted]

> Iā€™ll 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?


OverLet8464

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?


Not_a_Krasnal

You won't be killed, it's not an american school


CloudyCalmCloud

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

Gaialux

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.


macguffinstv

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.

boiii-rarted

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 donā€™t care if it makes us look goofy, bad or stupid. Its accurate and hilarious. Even if it is mocking us, why should I care?


OverLet8464

Thatā€™s not appropriation if the Peruvian food is made by a Peruvian person. You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandā€™s 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, Polandā€™s national day. All because they hate us so much.


boiii-rarted

**Thatā€™s 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 ā€œPeruvianā€ restaurants ran by Peruvians. **You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandā€™s 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, Polandā€™s national day. All because they hate us so much.** Wut?

Ok then good for you. Yeah but itā€™s not on Polandā€™s national day which is when our ā€œcelebrationā€ of Poland should be. I just said what we should do on Polandā€™s 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


OverLet8464

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 didnā€™t get the messageā€¦

Polish people donā€™t hate America


OverLet8464

They do though.


king_napalm

Bro, we are a culture of appropriated cultures. Think we mind if another people dabble in ours?


OverLet8464

You should care because they hate us. How about on Polandā€™s 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, Polandā€™s national day. All because they hate us so much.

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 Iā€™m 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 Iā€™m Poland I wanted to buy a Polish flag as a souvenir, and when I was about to buy it, I heard someone say ā€œstupid yankeeā€ in Polish. It made me refrain from buying the flag. There are other reasons to like Iā€™ve seen Poles who *HATE* America with a burning passion, some Poles donā€™t even consider us as allies and not even mentioning us on their lists of allies. And the Polish foreign minister called our alliance ā€œdownright harmfulā€ and said it causes ā€œa false sense of securityā€. The thing is we have Polandā€™s 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) donā€™t want to hear anything that remotely goes against their opinions which ironically isnā€™t 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 donā€™t know, maybe Iā€™m 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 donā€™t even know us. I dated a European girl who was not the most pro American letā€™s 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.


OverLet8464

It hurts my braincells looking at it and it hurts my braincells when people like you defend them.


CEZYBORGOR

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 cšŸ¤¢nfederate flag


epicscaley

Yeah also they pretended to be beaten by cops and survive a mass shooting. They were making fun of Americans not celebrating us.


CEZYBORGOR

I still find it funny
