#ethnicity: polish

[secular-jew]

Polish people made themselves the cities of their minority Jewish population and told Jews to go back to Eretz Y'Israel. At least they knew where the Jews were indigenous to.

Since England controlled and blocked immigration of Jews to Palestine, the Jews were literally sitting ducks.

The Poles then abetted the Nazis in murdering 2.25 million of the 2.5 million Polish-Jewish population.

The issues & beauties of German music

(70s Kraut Rock )

Here, NOT ONE SINGLE SOUL talks about Krautrock 🌿 it seems like dead & forgotten (except CAN)

which is sad about this phenomenon :/ the only ones paying attention are prog magazines and music connoisseurs

Everyone talks about the Scorpions and Rammstein (in fact it's quality). Sometimes Boney M but... it's always the same: good music is too elite for the masses.

Even the band Eloy. Prog fans love them- the most listeners come from other places of the earth but not their origin country. Often a fault of the music industry, critics as well as the radio stations which really neglected these now in modern times.

//

The rhymes & language, pronunciation

Sure, worse languages exist. But to be honest, can you relax, with the German language? There's no flow at all, nothing like Italian or, you know, English. It's a popular opinion and what speaks against it?

Depends on the way someone sings and per region there is a difference but some harshness is always there.

//

Sung in English example: Eloy (again)

Some people are totally fine with the accent (their whole discography is in English sung by Frank Bornemann!!) others have problems getting into this band. Depends on the listener.

What often happened was that the groups had a British singer...

//

Old fashioned names

For example British rock: someone asks you, you say your idol is some random Jeff or Pete or whatever their names are. What about German musician's names? They're called Dieter or Jogi or Herbert or Udo

"Who's your favourite musician?" - Jürgen xy (sorry shouldn't sound mean)

People make jokes about old fashioned names, then why blaming yourself and getting sideeyed.

This is all a matter of coolness, let's move to the music...

//

A few information

Okay don't judge (seems extremely stereotype now) the people, musicians of the 60s and 70s were the first generation after WW2. You can imagine. The children of ex- patriots. They wanted to change something. BUT!! They were BOUND in the roots of their country.

There was a scene and later with many students and discotheques. There were artists from all over the world. The music is innovative and you can hear it even clearly. You can also hear their protest, spirit and the diversity of sounds.

There is nothing you can call THE Kraut. It's practically impossible to sum the sound up. Actually it's not a genre. That one word represents all the music made in Germany

//

An example.

You hear the instruments? The bass, drums, hard guitar, organs, saxophone EVERYTHING WORKS. SO FINE MUSIC.

Listen to it, create your own opinion.

Notes

1. So many songs by this one group called Lied des Teufels? Yeah. They're not known at all. That singer sounds like imitating Ian Gillan- Everyone can TRY to copy but they do it in their own style which is not copying, it's storytelling. (Kind of)

2. THE WHOLE THING SHOULD NOT MAKE ME SEEM PASSIONATE OR SOMETHING BECAUSE I DISCOVERED KRAUT LITERALLY YESTERDAY

3. Probably it's something that gets boring really fast

//

So...

Skillful musicians w/ ability to express themselves and the problems of their country. Wether the singing style is something for you or not- there are countless of other groups.

We HAVE TO speak about these forgotten acts again & give it a chance

#PLEASE CORRECT ME #PLEASE SAY WHEN THERE R SOME GRAMMAR MISTAKES #con: #So I bought a CD of classic kraut #SOME songs are horrible. Why? The rhymes suck. They suck what else to say they suck. #(You maybe think I'm mentally insane) It's true. #Spotify #Kraut Rock #why not making a post about Polish French Arabic whatever kinds of counties UGH WHY NOT EVERY ETHNIC IN MY GENES #my irony is miserable #ignore #random mind

#og post #ask #anon #idk why polish specifically. my sister and i are both technically ethnically polish but on our dads side. my moms side is german #but its a cute name nevertheless

Israel: umm well if other countries actually believed we were doing something wrong then they’d just take in the Palestinians as refugees?? Clearly they just want to be mean to us

Also Israel: THERE MIGHT BE A BEETLE WITH COORDINATES WRITTEN ON IT’S ELYTRA, WE NEED TO NUKE THE ENTIRE HOSPITAL TO MAKE SURE

(You see my point is that other countries won’t take refugees because every single fucking time Palestinians try to find shelter Israel immediately claims “Hamas is secretly hiding in there” and bombs them)

#free palestine #free gaza #free the west bank #fuck israel #Zionists are not jewish #Arabs are semites too #so dont come for me #saying I’m antisemetic #when the Zionists literally teamed up with #the fucking Nazis #you know #the Nazis #those guys #the guys who obliterated my family’s ethnic identity #becuase Polish people weren’t white enough #and if Zionists were really Jewish #they’d know everything they were doing #is against every Jewish holy book ever uncovered

This is just a map of New England (minus Connecticut the fake New England state)

#text post #new england #source: boston 25 news website: believe it or not massachusetts is not the most irish state new study finds #18.9% of mass residents have irish ancestry #really this is not surprising at all. massachusetts is the most population-dense state by far with the most immigrants #and new hampshire? ask anyone where their family lived before they came to new hampshire. it was massachusetts #new hampshire is full of ethnically irish and italian and polish catholics whose families have been here long enough #to assimilate and move to the suburbs and become xenophobic and anti-immigrant. #literally bothers me so much when ppl named molly o'flannigan and patrick sullivan talk shit about dorchester lawrence etc #and other immigrant-dense areas in new england. i'm like baby your grandparents lived there #well or at least that's my experience #new england still does have a shocking amount of wasps whose families have been here since the fuckin mayflower #i dont have a direct link to that in my own family but it's very strange how that is taught to new england children as like #'our' heritage in schools. plymouth plantation and the puritans and all that. you're weirdly made to identify w it #and like as time goes on #just factually that only represents the population of ppl who live and are raised here less and less. #not to mention it does nothing to address DIVERSITY in the area. but i suppose there's like a local mythos #we have to teach a story to children and it has to be a 'we' story and that story has to be pilgrims #bc the story has to start at colonization and not expand after that. thats too complex. happy thanksgiving? #new england white people have a habit of thinking theyre irish catholic anglo-protestant settlers and they built this country #they dont parse out their own identity at all and they certainly don't want to have to consider other ppl's. #wow i didnt mean this to turn into a culture-critical rant im sure most of my followers arent even from here so idk what this means 2 u guy #happy saint patrick's day!

Please read this short culture appreciation post

As a white girl who was raised by a Chinese couple, I decided to share my experience growing up. I love the Chinese culture (I’m biased) and my parents are simply wonderful, but they never neglected to teach me about my own roots. Since I was around 4, when I was adopted, I could easily learn mandarin, but also forget my beautiful native language. My parents, however, made sure that I speak Polish fluently, in case I ever wanted to reconnect with my country. So, even though growing up around East Asians as a blond hair, blue eyed kid was… an interesting experience and many times people immediately assumed I can’t speak mandarin (it’s the language I know the best, but I understand; looks can be deceiving). Still, I love the culture I was raised in as well as the one I was born into. Race never mattered. My parents are and always will be my real ones (even if we’re not really related). They showed me that tradition and family knows no bounds, skin colours or borders. I may have been born in Warsaw, but my heart belongs to Hong Kong where my home is.

Sorry for any grammar mistakes. English is obviously not my first language.

i dont know how to use tumblr yet but i like to talk, so:

why everybody that i know, who lives outside my voivodeship (not only, from here too) that is lesser poland, thinks everybody is highlander here.

lesser poland is so wealthy in folklor. we have so many diffrences between our regional costumes. different skirts, corsets, hats and other parts of the outfit. additionally we have different types of dancing, singing and music in general.

i have nothing against highlanders. in fact i love their culture and places near mountains (maybe besides present Zakopane where u pay 10 PLN for the toilet 🙂, ah capitalism) but when u have your own regional folk culture why everyone identifies you with other.

so i live between two different regions. on the west side Lachy Sądeckie and on the est Pogórze. These two regions have a lot of differences so here where i live we have a little mashup. but i love both ❤️

you can see these beautiful outfits here (first is from Lachy, second from Pogórze, highlanders not today)

Wanted to make a post dunking on an idiot who seems to think using the word "genocide" for anything other than the holocaust is disgraceful, then took a look at Wikipedia for some fact checking and got too depressed and sad to do it

#tw genocide #tw death #idk why it feels like this one needs more trigger warnings than usual #tw mass murder #i always thought the holocaust death count (the 5-7m number) included everyone not just the jewish people killed...turns out there's #different counter for the genocide of romani and polish people... also there were apparently 3 million russian POW who got killed that I've #NEVER heard about before. and that's just the stuff i discovered abt the holocaust #the Armenian genocide killed nearly 90% of Armenians in the ottoman empire (i don't think turkey has issued an official apology for that OR #the greek genocide). and you'd think with how many circassians there is where i live I'd've known 97% of them were killed or deported #i get why the idiot i wanted to post about thinks that nazis were “uniquely evil” bc the truth is uhhhhhh much worse #also i think the 2 wikipedia pages on genocides and ethnic cleansings use wildly different sources bc the numbers are all other place

[sar3nka]

On the brightside I might actually find irl friends who share my interests soon. Or there will be insufferable hentai addicted male weebs and pickme egirls. It's a roulette...

#or. #people who are ethnically and legally polish but somehow manage to be japanese nationalists at the same time #seen it once and i swear it happens more often than youd think
