Poland revokes right of asylum because migration is Putin's plot to destabilize the EU (www.bbc.co.uk)

TL;DR: In a plot to destabilize the EU, Putin and Lukashenko personally and directly caused masses of people to migrate from the Middle East, Asia, and Africa, so Poland won't observe the legal right of asylum anymore. They also decriminalised shooting migrants "in self defence".

(Edit) This is from the new, supposedly less fascist Polish govt lol

I know, I was tying onto this part:

for having such a weak, pathetic, and completely artificial concept of “”“whiteness”“”

I took "whiteness" to also mean "European culture" or more accurately "Central, Western and Northern European culture", because I think a lot of people see it that way, a culture they traded for dollars and a box set of Friends. So now all they have left, as you said is "a weak, pathetic, and completely artificial concept of whiteness", where people of vaguely Anglo/Northern European descent are the "whites" and everyone else is "other". "White culture" then becomes anything those people consume, regardless of how close or how far it is from historically European culture.

The nazis can't even agree on whether Christianity or Paganism is the trve whvte relvgvon. Are we defending the Pagans against the Abrahamic religions or are we defending the Christians against the Pagan and Muslim religions? The media called Ukrainians "white, Europeans" but then the Russians are "subhuman orcs". None of it makes any sense, and I don't think it is supposed to. It's just another form of control.

Couldn't agree more to everything you said.

I think a lot of people see it that way, a culture they traded for dollars and a box set of Friends

And when you put it that way, oof. Not white but my parents traded much of theirs off for the bible and that didn't turn out well (as an understatement). Europe and the west will be spending a long time recovering, or trying to recover, from the "whiteness" they inflicted on themselves.

As someone whose partner is white I think I understand them a bit better seeing your comment as well. For me even if I wasn't raised in it and reconnecting with it is something I'll be doing all my life as a result, the identity and pride in it has always been strong (thanks to being a minority- the choice is either pride or shame IMO). I've often thought being white and having such easy assimilation must be both a blessing and a curse- but seeing you put it that way makes it sound even more wretched yet.
