Our message to every great grandchild of
"legal immigrants" in this country: you're going back too.
POC: people of cannoli
Being deported to a country that wasn’t even unified by a single state when their great great grandparents emigrated
You're going back to both Sicilies.
Looks like my father's whole family and I will be deported to Italy.
Sending Italians-Americans to colonize Italy, Liberia style.
Literally what happened with Eastern Europe, where half of the post-1991 political elite are children of gusanos.
Remind me of first capitalist presidental election in Poland in 1990, where we have to choose either lech wałęsa or Stan Tymiński (libertarian "enterpreneur" gusano) and the latter was unironically better candidate in every single aspect.
Tell me more about lech wałęsa by comparison. I'm scared but curious.
Oh damn. Short version is that the dude is absolute stereotype of lumpenproletarian class traitor, and proud about it.
Personally he's an odious little catofash opportunist given big shoes, something like various movie carricatures of "new man in high politics" but worse because real and serious.
Politically he is and always was absolute zero and a tool, his presidency looked like he was a bone being fought over by rabid dogs of various cliques (current chief of PiS Kaczyński is the last of those dogs remaining in politics and as such they still hate eachother). And of course he presided over the worst time for Poland since WW2, overseeing and actively participating in the looting and spreading misery.
Personally and eagerly too, one of more forgotten examples is how he participated in breaking one of the main workers force, coal miners: around 1992 if i remember correctly, he told the remaining after first wave of liquidations mine directors (still all state owned) that they are to increase production because their main clients (power plants, also still state owned) will buy everything since demand for electricity is growing too. So the directors took the bank loans (on bad conditions especially the inflation was going down but still around 45%), employed more people, bought more machinery and increased production for next season... and then wałęsa imported massive amount of coal and sold them to power plants at dumping prices. Coal mines were devastated basically overnight and all of them went under the line*, and what happened next was liquidation of most of mines and workers power there was completely broken as they were force to complete over the rapidly dwindling jobs.
*This is important point because even after over 2 years of intense government sabotage of government owned(!) coal and not only coal industry, like for example forcing property tax over them or wage rise tax in the time of hyperinflation, they still remained profitable going contrary to what the neoliberals and market "socialists" were telling about them.
Sounds like Poland had its own Boris Yeltsin
Yup. Though i have a one single atom of not-hate for Yeltsin because he refused to rehabilitate traitor Rezun. No such atom of integrity in Poland where similar traitor Kukliński was made into national hero. But this might as well be cultural item, Russia was never fond of treason in their entire history while in Poland traitors are routinely sanctified (even literally) for as long as Poland exist.
