He way overhypes it and makes it sound like some sort of paradise when reality is far from that. And since he mentions love I doubt he can be trusted.
To be honest, my idea of Poland is quite neutral. I'm not up-to-date on current Polish events, and I'm not even familiar with the language (though I'd be keen on learning it).
But I would absolutely love to visit Warsaw one day, must be an amazing city to visit - not sure about living in, Perhaps anyone from Warsaw can comment on that.
On another note, I'm not even Polish and I fucking love Sabaton's "40:1" :v:

Interesting video, but horrible politicians and blind nationalism seems worse in Poland than the US right now, to be honest.
Not knocking Poland as a whole, I'm sure it's lovely but I just think the political situation is dire there right now.

And yeah our ruling party makes Donald Trumps campaign look like a voice of reason

Leaving that aside, how is Poland doing? If SH is any indication, we barely read any news about Poland lately.

Seems like a nice place. If I knew how to speak Polish I'd probably move there.
this country suck balls
old people, drunk people, dumb people, and shitty weather
stay away
I think the only things we have over the US is better healthcare (both public and private), and fair ISPs.
Otherwise yeah, conservative old people in charge of the country, and blind nationalism all over.
I wouldn't want to live in the US myself but if I were already born there I don't think moving here would be worth it either.
i like this place because it has no immigrants
*migrates there*
i love poland though, its fucking great.
Ok so
i get it looks nice when you do it every now and again
but don't end every fucking shot in your walking out of frame
I haven't been to poland since I was 6. But one thing I remember was walking in and out strangers houses and watching some kid play spiderman on his nes. It's really strange especially looking back.
All you really need to know is that almost all young Poles left or are planning to leave.
Especially if they have some expertise. Warsaw is about the only city in Poland not bleeding out people.
I know a guy who is moving into poland after he got a job at CD-Projekt RED, and he is super hyped about the whole "no muslim/nationalism rulez" thing
But then again he's a bit racist so w/e
I would say that some things about Poland are really nice, while others not so much. Not the best country in the world to live, but not the worst either by any stretch. I would imagine that if youre a conservative dude concerned about islamisation and other things right wing people dont like, Poland and Hungary might be some of the best places to live, standard of life wise. Definitely better then moving to russia. But then again, after Brexit and Trump you might as well just wait until the national dawn reaches wherever you live

But what about what he says about Polish culture and its hospitality, something he considers non-existant in the US? The [i]closest[/i] I've been to meeting a Polish person was an Ukrainan friend from my childhood, who migrated into Argentina with his parents when he was 4 in the early '90s, and they were the nicest people I've met.
People act like moving from America is like going to the promised lands but the truth is you're going someone just as shit or worse or barely batter.
I do not consider the nationalism to be a significant problem, I got to know many foreign students recently and no one is complaining about discrimination and such.
However, the current government and its national socialist policy is what worries me. It panders to the religious part of the population (making it an easy electorate), while steadily raising taxes despite this country already being a tax hell.
Not to mention the introduction of new social programs that discourage people from working and deepen the already insane national debt. Poland is doomed, if you ask me.

That's big coming from an american. The truth is most of EU countries are better than US as long as you're willing to learn the language.

2039 poland invades germany
I half expected this to be a Ross Scott video
Holy crap is he idolizing this place. Reminds me of the stereotype of anime fans having a skewed vision of Japan and wishing they'd live there.
The part with health care tells me he clearly hasn't lived long enough here, or for whatever reason hasn't experienced the full picture. Our public health care is [I]horrible[/I]. Many hospitals are in debt, filled with old staff and equipment. An MRI scan wait is at least one year long. One fucking year for basic diagnosis. And there are countless stories of people waiting years upon years for procedures, like an 80+ year old lady having to wait 24 years for a knee surgery.
Yea it's quiet, green and more peaceful than the US, but we have our own share of BS like any other place.
And I'm not saying Poland is trash, it's a pretty nice country when compared, but this guy is mesmerized with us the same way tourists are mesmerized with Asian countries, getting the wrong image. Like the whole story about a family taking him in. I'm pretty sure there are as many nice people in the US as there are in Poland. It's just a bad generalization.

Can't find the source for that one specific example I wrote, but you get the picture.

I've had three head MRI scans now and never had to wait more than two months v:v:v
Not really suitable if you're in an emergency but hey, they were free, and from what I've heard in the US you even have to pay for an ambulance ride, which is pretty fuckin ridiculous. Last time I went to ER they even asked me if I needed a ride home because it was late when I got released.

Is it the same with private health care? Wouldn't it be leaps and bounds quicker? Dude that's fucked up...

I had one this year and had the choice of waiting a year or paying up.
