Whatever now 🤷‍♂️

If it wasn't for USSR Poland today might be almost as wealthy as Germany

I mean GDP/capita not total GDP of course

Poland has a lot of good natural advantages

Same thing with Romania

Yes

Little bit of hydrocarbon

Especially Romania

And good farmland I’m told

How about mineral wealth

If Poland had conquered Russia they be so overpowered it wouldn't be funny

I do think a lot of German success has to do with a particular culture

There was a video about this that I saw yesterday

Very specific

Imagine Russia bit with Western European system

Germans are hard working people

So no wonder there

It would be hard to explain why it is the way it is

Yes an also being well organized

In a shorthand form

But to make a long story short

~~And not having a sense of humor~~

It has alot to do with protestant work ethic

Quality and proficiency and organization is valued highly and it’s a cultural norm to be competent and industrious

Exactly. German products are amazing!

A lot of the reasons for the competence is because of the past of city states, so small level organization was very good and there is a lot of administrative experience

Poland was literally light years ahead of Western Europe for hundreds of years before internal strife and invasions destroyed the Commonwealth

Yes 👍

Hey, at least Poland has recovered

I think they’re doing pretty fine today

Think so for the most part they still have problems though

Poland is one of the few countries that has the right attitude about immigration

There’s that one politician from there

Can’t remember his name

The one that went viral for telling the BBC off

LOL I JUST GOT BANNED ON TWITTER FOR CALLING HUNTER A CRACKHEAD

Banned for the truth

(Laughs in alt accounts)

“Cut off one head, two more shall take its place”

Heil hydra.
