TL;DR: In a plot to destabilize the EU, Putin and Lukashenko personally and directly caused masses of people to migrate from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, so Poland won’t observe the legal right of asylum anymore. They also decriminalised shooting migrants “in self defence”.

(Edit) This is from the new, supposedly less fascist Polish govt lol

    Sometimes I feel like the fashy stuff that happens in Poland is just a testing ground for larger rollouts in the rest of Europe. We’ll be seeing this sort of thing across Europe more and more as the climate worsens and people are forced to leave their homes.

      It is and it always was. 1956, 1968, 1980, all were test runs before the western destabilisation efforts aimed at other places in East Europe.

      Definitely, just like Ukraine is a training ground for neonazi volunteers from all over Europe.

      When Ukraine loses and all those freedom fighters come home they’ll bring their connections, training, and combat experience with them, they’ll have battle-hardened bonds across national borders, they’ll be organised, radicalised, and desensitized to violence, they’ll know how to utilise modern urban warfare tactics and latest NATO equipment.

      And when western “moderates” start implementing those fascist policies and the left attempts to oppose them, the brownshirts will be ready.


      (Edit) Here’s a Ukrainian neonazi leader a few weeks before the Russian invasion, very informative video IMHO:

      That’s how these things have been done in the past. Even if there isn’t some master plan beforehand, whatever works for one reactionary will inspire another.
