Very few Antifa in Poland, they know they’ll get their asses kicked if they show themselves.
Bring them over here. Start with the women.
Poland is one of the safest and most family-friendly countries in Europe. Strongly Catholic and with an unusual language, Poland is relatively isolated from many of the bad trends that have damaged European culture. A few years ago, when Germany and the EU told Poland to prepare to accept a large flow of Muslim refugees, Poland’s answer was a flat no.
I have been thinking FR should start making connections with groups in Austria, Hungary and Poland.
To let them know not all of the USA has gone nuts.

I would really like to check out the Zakopane area, which is the main ski resort.
Good. Americans might need a free country to go to in the near future.
My father’s parents came from near there, from what is now the southeast corner of Poland. The terrain and climate of the Carpathian foothills are similar to that of the Ozarks.
