State of Russian Orthodox Church: apparently Patriarch Kirill has a copy of Andrei Rublev's Trinity in his office with himself painted on it. Somehow not a Russian Onion photoshop, posted on official website. https://twitter.com/SibirPost/status/1712376041807708507?t=lH2MTCkwk2gqRde86_OTCw&s=19

Someone else compared it to hunting trophy photos, which is very fitting. The original icon is basically dead now that it's displayed in an uncontrolled environment. It will continue to chip and crack until it can't be fixed anymore.

Kaczynski has three three cases filed against him at the prokuratura, and the rozzers refused his demands to take that dudes phone away. Something’s in the water I think, thought I recon this is mostly the boots on the ground guys trying to save their asses before and if the new boss comes in.

I don't even live in Poland but all my social media feeds this morning are filled with posts from people I don't know saying that Poland is a safe country because it refuses to accept Muslim immigrants. If Tusk wins, he'll obey his globalist masters and will open the flood gates and "turn Poland brown". "Poland" is even showing up as a trending topic on my Twitter feed.

Unfortunately Poland is really racist, probably around 90% of voters support pushbacks at the Belarus border, thats a purely cynical play by Tusk

My understanding is that the unfortunate reality is that thanks to PiS, as well as obvious external factors, the choice is slowly becoming between also getting all Ukrainians and Belarusians out and not doing that, rather than anything to do with the less Slavic refugees and immigrants. It's really hosed.

I think that would be PJJ fringe brigade stance. Rest understands that Ukrainians and to lesser degree Belarussians and Russians are what stands between now and total economic collapse..

I really like our tradition of "bazarek" ("marketplace"), a wink wink nudge nudge website with voting results predictions masked as "food prices", with food products representing political parties and prices representing estimated results. PiS being "pistachios", KO being "coriander" ("kolendra") and so on.

Froze my rear end off in the queue for 45 minutes and got the stink eye from the polling station lady when I refused the referendum ballot, totally worth it.

Why the boycott choice on the referendum?

It’s valid if more than half of eligible voters participate with any vote.

OddObserver posted:Why the boycott choice on the referendum? The questions are an insane provocation. quote:1. Do you support the liquidation sale of state property to foreign agents, leading to the loss of control over strategic sectors of the economy by Polish men and women? Any debate on this points or attempting to agitate for a specific pattern of voting is both morally and tactically impossible. They also do not actually oblige the government to pursue any specific course of action while simultaneously being a potential source of legitimacy for various terrible things. These questions are designed solely to give government-friendly media endless hit piece sound bites and counter-programming. For those keeping score at home, this is literally a retread of a tactic used by the literal communist party in 1946. The only exception is that you are now encouraged to vote no instead of yes, so they can accuse anyone who would vote yes as simultaneously a German agent and a Communist, probably. Boycotting is the only viable choice.

I've never saw so many people voting, most of them refusing the referendum ballot, also my 5yo son saw a picture of John Paul II hanging on the wall and yelled "yellow face*!" so it was definitely the highlight of the day. *god, it sounds so bland in English, what's better translation of "morda"?

That's some top grade parenting. Yellow (Yellov? to keep with the "Rzułta") mug/muzzle maybe? In out voting point the lady spent 10 minutes and 2 phonecalls trying to find out street name on the list. It was on the other page...

steinrokkan posted:So is the turnout good news, or bad news? Good in theory. PiS has by far the most disciplined core voting base (except for maybe PSL, but I can't really say conclusively one way or another there), less responsive to turnout changes. Their vote numbers obviously change substantially, but if the only people to show up were those who always show up, PiS would win in a landslide, while if everyone voted, PiS would gain the least. On the flipside, the party with the least disciplined voters is Konfederacja, so big turnout might mean a good result for them. (The reason why the two right-wing parties are so divergent here is that Konfederacja cannot get its libertarian loonies to shut up - in fact, it frequently fields them forward since they are often the most presentable and coherent loons in the party - about stuff like pension "reform," which sounds great to young idiots who have never worked a job in their lives and who tend not to care too much for voting, while at the same time alienating old age pensioners, who understand the value of voting, are heavily dependent on public policy, and have nothing better to do anyway.)

Yeah, more or less this, although at the very least the prospective government would stop being openly hostile to women, LGBT, immigrants and the EU, so that alone is something to hope for. Edit: also, I struggle to imagine what kind of economic policy a KO/TD/Lewica government could possibly agree on.

With the two main options for post-election government being a PiS minority government supported by some or all Confederates; or a KO/TD/Lewica wide umbrella coalition, I don't see either of those being stable enough to survive the entire four years, yeah. Edit: barring of course PiS defying the polls and getting the majority after all.
