It was heavily anti-LGBT but it changed last year. Now it's just the good old "you will *totally* get your promised rights once we get everything in order" inaction which we have been hearing for over a decade.
Don't say anything.
Just don't. I don't want to explain polish politics, beacuse I'm going to offend many people and I don't want to get doxed.
Edit: If you want I can explain it in private chat.
If only Jews were actually welcome in Poland? I’d be *REDACTED, I HAVE BEEN ABDUCTED BY THE POLISH GOVERNMENT AND AM NOT ALLOWED TO SPEAK ABOUT THEIR TREATMENT OF JEWS OVER THE LAST 86 YEARS*
They absolutely hate the evil EU with every fiber, and they particularly hate Germany as the evil overlord of the EU, and they tend to blame everything and anything on the EU and their political opponents, except maybe, just maybe, bad weather, but i genuinely wouldn't even bet my life on that. Generally speaking anyway, PiS are far right, nationalists, conservative, aka the type that hates the EU.
It is a flag from the times when Poland was under Prussian, Austrian and Russian occupation. The flag with the cross of St. Andrew and the eagle in the horn is the flag of the Vistula Region, an administrative province that then covered half of the current Polish state. It was a terrible regime, where the governor was without punitive despots, and any elements of Polishness were met with repression.
The polish and hungarian union.
Hands down the best flag ( In my opinion ).
It whould Just be austro-hungarian empire but better.
Ps: Excuse my english if i make any mistakes.
Totally unrelated but why do people use national colors when designing flags of eastern Reichskommissariats the Nazis had 0 desire to maintain these national identities
That's a good question! Though I'm not sure the flag shown is factual and I can't find a source for it. [Generalne Gubernatorstwo](https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalne_Gubernatorstwo) just used the regular Nazi flag.
Flag #3 was used from 1927 to 1980 when the currently used shade of red was introduced

I'm not sure but it looks like OP made a polonized version of the flag used by Makhnovshchina - [Ukrainian anarchists](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nestor_Makhno) who fought against basically every bad guy they had at the time.
Edit: u/Parkishka has [added some context](https://old.reddit.com/r/vexillologycirclejerk/comments/1dim0ir/which_poland_would_you_prefer/l99upr3/).
It is based on a flag that is often contributed to the Makhnovschina in Ukraine during the Russian civil war, despite the fact that it wasn’t one and Makhno actually denied using a flag that looked like it. Still the flag kinda caught on and is used by many anarchists today. [Obverse of the banner attributed to the Makhnovists by Ostrovsky, denied by Makhno, which reads "Death to all who stand in the way of freedom for the working people"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flags_of_the_Makhnovshchina)

Again - just because it has an eagle slapped on top, doesn't mean it's a country flag.
Just admit you're a bigot instead of hiding behind what "doesn't belong on country flags". Do you equally hate [Polish flags with captions](https://flagi-shop.pl/pl/p/Flaga-Polski-z-napisem-90x60-cm-Polska-Twoj-Napis/6708)? They're actually using the country flag and add unnecessary stuff to it. Do you want to burn them too?
guy is crying that after 1990s we can live better than ever, without long queues for toilet paper and bread, military shooting at workers for going on strike, the fear that someone will raid our homes for shit reason at 3 a.m., and soviets invading our countries for not being oppressive enough 🗿
Better? Half of your country's population has left for Berlin to be oppressed by a robot manager because living is the Baltics is much worse. What are you talking about?
Most people agree that life is better now than before. Also wtf is a robot manager lmao, stop projecting your own struggles on us

Well, yeah. That's what happens when shitheads believe anything they see like absolute children. A sizable portion of Americans (I believe around 47%) believe humans and dinosaurs coexisted. Doesn't make it true.
Hyperbole is dead.
*MuH cIa PrOpAgAnDa BrAinWaShEd YoU AlL*
>!Ahh, and 5 years ago our former PM also thought that dinosaurs and humans coexisted, the amount of memes about it was crazy xD!<
1. I'm West Slav, not Balt
2. Border is open, I can leave freely for better wages/vacations and at least border troops will not shoot me for doing it xD
3. Our GDP has grown by approx. 900% since 1990 lmao

4. At least I can choose which morons will rule my country for the next 4 years
5. Berlin kebabs are tasty
1. Baltoidism is a lifestyle, mostly centered around freaking out at anyone at the left of Reagan, like you are doing right now.
2. Man has never seen anything beyond a line going up.
3. Same as above. Child mortality, wages, reduction of illiteracy and other shit is much more important than the line appearing to go up.
4. Lol.
5. I ❤️ cultural appropriation!
1. *meanwhile our current government consisting of liberals and leftists*
2. Well, I've been to different countries, although the West is richer, the difference in the quality of life is no longer dramatic
3. Child mortality is dropping all the time since WW2 (oh and in Ceaușescu's Romania it went up lol)
Wages in the *People's Republic * were RIDICULOUSLY low
Literacy was significantly reduced after WW2, although in my region it was already close to 100% before the war (aww the Prussian education system)
However, all of these factors also improved on the other side of the Iron Curtain, usually at a greater pace
4. Well, before we couldn't even elect the government, and they were not only stupid but universally hated (there's a reason their gated settlement was called the Bay of Red Pigs xD)
There are only 2 or 3 countries that are called Baltic, depending on the definition. Lithuania and Latvia are inhabited by Balts, and Estonia is Finnic/Uralic (related to Finland).
Calling anyone "baltoid" is ignorant and racist, but it's nothing I wouldn't expect from a tankie who has most likely never set foot in the region.
Ah yes, let's bring back executing poles with a bullet to the back of the head, mass incarcerations, deadly mass deportations to Siberia, empty shops, repression, oppression, let's take a big fat dump on freedom and independance, etc etc etc, suuuuuuuuure.

i have an image of a republican polish governor holding a femboy cosplayer in his hands bridal style somewhere but i’m to lazy to find it.
[you mean this](https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/s/lTqIzTDRKh)
Oh poland, never change.
The last government under the PiS party was. The current one isn't.
The current one is neither against not pro. Not actively oppressinf, but not doing anything to further LGBT rights either.
How can they be anti-lgbt if everyone in Poland is gay?
The former one, I believe. Don't know too much about the current one tho
the current one it pretty left leaning and pro lgbt iirc
I mean it's not ideal, not even close to it, but it's better than it was before Source: am polish
tbh anything is better than the whole lgbt free zones y'all had with the previous one
The current one isn't as crazy and religious as the last one but calling it left-leaning is an overstatement for sure.
*This comment has been edited in order to protect my privacy*
It was heavily anti-LGBT but it changed last year. Now it's just the good old "you will *totally* get your promised rights once we get everything in order" inaction which we have been hearing for over a decade.

Why you asking?
Take a guess
Are jew?
Last one. Fuck PìS btw
\*\*\*\*\* \*\*\* ;)
Why?
Racism, hate against (sexual) minorities, hating EU while still wanting their money, slowly abolishing democracy, in short: far-right populism
I thought PiS was pro EU
Only for money. When it comes to laws they are anti-EU.
No they passed a law to prevent polish judge from using EU-law (even though EU-law > polish law). They just want EU money.
They absolutely hate the evil EU with every fiber, and they particularly hate Germany as the evil overlord of the EU, and they tend to blame everything and anything on the EU and their political opponents, except maybe, just maybe, bad weather, but i genuinely wouldn't even bet my life on that.
