    Fun fact: Poland literally begged for that on their knees, offering all manners of vassal pledges in exchange, for nearly 30 years. It’s been finally graciously granted by the sovereign in 2019, but it’s only on 90 days and you must still get permit in ESTA (which you basically can’t get if you were ever convicted or for many other reasons).

        Money or idealism (look what it did to mfers). Though usually not even that big money. If you look at polish political class formed by former opposition and opportunists, a lot of them advanced materially very much, though actually rarily to the real bourgeoisie, more to the grant-paid traitor scum territory, and the idealist opposition leaders got fucked up into the freak show veterans cathegory.

        Most of us are idiots in general and all of us are idiots in some way.

        The wish to be more like “the west” at least that’s what people born in the 70’s tell me 🙄

        All superificial bullshit. Having access to jeans, western cars, bananas all year 'round, being able to vacation in Paris or Rome…

        All of the people I have the displeasure to talk to are condtioned with terminal treat brain. I hate their understanding of the world.

      I was thinking “whites minus slavic people” but Poland confused me.

      Chile is a surprise to me.

        Probably chose Poland because they are so close to Eastern Europe and want to sorta be like “Poland is ok, Belarus and Eastward isn’t”

      Most of these countries are in the ESTA program. Only Canada is visa exempt.

        Yeah i know. Really ironic, they can still refuse them based on a whim, and i bet diamonds against nuts that some countries are getting much higher ratio of refusals than some others.

          I know people who were refused because they’d been to Cuba some time previously.

          They were accepted with a second application but had lost their plane tickets.
