Poland as 1 of 10 new Civilizations added in BTS?

[GIR]

OMG. Look at this thread (especially the last few pages)! It’s a shame. What will the rest of the world think about us Europeans?
I hope in 50 years we won’t have such kind of conversations – which European country was/is the “coolest”/sucks and stuff like this.
“God bless the EU”. That's one reason why we need it and I hope it will work.

It's a bit of a touchy topic. Ukrainians don't like Russians that much at this point. And there was a bit of national pride thing going recently. To make long story short, Ukrainians don't like being associated with Russians in any way.

neither do any other non russian slavs.

I'm a pole and i hate to be called a russian or a german.

That is why Poland is an option for the game. Just like Ukraine is.

With both the nationalist and racist part you refer to the following sentences?

To put it mildly, Sweden was and is less a backwater than Poland is. I suppose that's why you choose to live in Sweden. My suggestion to you is: Be a hero and go back to Poland."

Here he admits Sweden is also backwater. Giving in to that means that he is not really nationalistic. Maybe proud, but that is hardly a crime.
The "go back to Poland" thing is indeed quite ruff. This could indeed be considered nationalistic, although not racist. I had more the idea that he meant that someone shouldn't criticize the country he/she is in if he/she thinks the "homeland" is better. (Only less polite)

He claims that Sweden has always been less of a backwater than Poland, which of coarse is a factual error that I pointed out.
The reason why I reacted so harshly is because I have spent most of my lifetime in Sweden, constantly having to defend my country of origin from people like him, claiming BS like the above.

So he pushed my buttons claiming ignorant BS that I have heard over and over again from Swedes for years.


You see the problem with a lot of Swedes is that because of their countries obvious material wealth and social and moral successes, they occupy a self proclaimed moral high ground which in essence is all about that everything Sweden does and has done is morally superior to whatever anyone else has done and will do.

It is irritating as heck, especially in the long run.

I mean living here it is quite easy to see for one self that Swedes are no better or worse than anyone else.

Unfortunetly, unlike most other people, a huge part of the Swedish population live in the delusion that practically everything in Sweden is superior to everything anywhere else.

And huge structural problems in Swedish society, are not taken care of because "this is Sweden and nothing is ever wrong here, therefor there is no need to do anything about the problems because they do not exist lalalah".

Basically Sweden is the world center of double standards.

Yes of coarse your right, I just had to explain myself a bit.

Sorry.

With the troops of USA.

As I recall, the American troops didn't start to arrive until late in 1917, and they were not present in force until the following year.

In which case you should do yourself a favour and not live here. I think that that is merely a common-sense suggestion. You insult my country and yet insist on living here. I call *that* double standards.

It can't be double standards if I haven't claimed that Poland is better to live in than Sweden.

That sounds eerily similar to....here. Which would be the United States....
