Look at the clean subway! Poland as “white Wakanda” in fantasies of the western utmost right

If individual does not agree with Marvel, 1 can scope for Asterix: in this metaphor in Europe conquered by Eurocrats and “globalists” who effort to replace the local population with “import” from Africa and the mediate East, Poland is the last undefeated village of Gauls by Rome: wealthy, safe, culturally homogenous, and thus able to keep a “high-trust society”, faithful to its Christian heritage, finally, which for many fans of Poland most crucial – almost entirely white.

Social media as a tool for building a fake image of Poland

X users from around the planet put pictures and statistic on their profiles to confirm this narrative. Jack Posobiec – far right influencer related to MEGA movement, just before the second circular of Polish presidential elections speaking at the CPAC conference in Jasionka, supporting Karol Nawrocki – he published Video from the Warsaw metro, which he signed: "Why can't American cities look like this?". The metro, specified as the metro in Warsaw, is comparatively clean, calm, nobody fights. Compared to the States, it is besides very white, which draws attention to commentators, which bind the purity of the metro and the culture of its passengers, with Poland "no problem with mass migration".

Mickamious, signing as a "national libertarian" from Australia, continues Video From the profile of the Comforter, depicting a summertime evening in Warsaw’s fresh World, astoundingly: “It’s amazing how harmonious society can be built at zero or tiny levels of migration. This is Poland. Australia should look like this too."

Inevitable West profile, most likely connected to the United Kingdom, uploads post comparing rape statistic from Poland and large Britain from 2020 and 2024. According to the statistic cited by the profile, the number of rapes in Poland decreased by 54 percent during this period, while in the UK it increased almost 7 times. Conclusion? "Great Britain is now a 3rd planet country". The commentators have no uncertainty that it is migration.

The American profile of End Wokeness has been publishing statistic comparing economical growth in various European countries since 2000 – Poland has been leading “Only 1 country rejected mass migration. Guess which one," he turns to his 3.8 million followers.

Migration reality in Poland – data versus propaganda

Similar entries are, of course, a fantasy based either on ignorance about what modern Poland looks like or on a conscious manipulation of the image of our country. It is hard to present him as a uniform nationality or even racially.

By data ZUS in Poland in 2024 almost 1.2 million foreigners worked legally. In 2016, it was little than 300,000. Thus, the number of legally employed foreigners has increased 4 times in 8 years. 2 thirds of them are Ukrainians, but migration from South and Central Asia is becoming increasingly visible, especially in the largest cities. It would be adequate to exit the fresh planet in 1 of the side streets or enter a popular fastfood network to see workers from the Indian Peninsula.

After 8 years of intense migration, Poland is simply a much safer country than in the 1990s, erstwhile we migrated behind work, and the country was Polish and white as long and wide. At the same time, we were terrorized by crime – from the best organized 1 from Pruszków and Volomina, to regular violence, cultivated by the dresi-kibol element. People were afraid to pin the bike in town or leave the radio in the car.

The fact that we are a comparatively safe country present is besides due to public politicians who would consider the American right as communist totalitarian if individual tried to introduce them in the United States. For example, we do not easy have firearms, we have a public wellness care strategy and, compared to the United States, a comparatively civilised level of income and property inequality and an simple social safety network, although we inactive have a lot to do with European standards.

Poland as a “white Wakanda” is simply a dangerous fantasy

Is it possible to ignore the obsession of the far right from all over the planet with Poland as a comic flower of ignorance? As many as harmless, specified as the fantasy of liberal parts of Poles about secular, atheistic, relaxed Czech Republic, whose president, alternatively of pilgrimages to Częstochowa, participates in stone concerts and mostly much better encompassing reality than “Pisowsko-kościółkowa” Poland?

I will answer in the negative, due to the fact that the Polish fantasy of the Czech Republic – although it will lie the image of our confederate neighbour, ignoring Czech corruption problems, oligarchization of public life or anti-Roman racism – is yet harmless. Fantasia about Poland as a “white Wakanda” – not anymore.

Globally distributed in social media, it creates an highly toxic political-cultural feedback, strengthening the most unlikable currents of right-wing politics in both countries looking at Poland with admiration and in our backyard.

Contrary to the constant taping of slogans about pride and sovereignty, the Polish right is very occidentalistic and full intellectually dependent on the abroad right, mostly American. So he inactive seeks to confirm his views, sensitivity, symbols and emotions in the West. Hence the curiosity of the right-wing commentary expressed about the governments of the Law and Justice after 2015 – to aid you make a large Hollywood movie about Polish history, preferably with Mel Gibson in the lead role, so that the historical imagination of the Polish right yet finds a message and appreciation in global pop culture.

Inferences about Poland free of migration on profiles of utmost right influencers from the US, Western Europe or even Australia harden xenophobic and racist obsessions of the Polish right. These, in turn, prevent the formulation of a sensible long-term migration policy, deluding Poles with a imagination of a country capable of developing without migration.

This besides strengthens the utmost right-wing environments in Western democracies. A profoundly falsified imagination of Poland as a modern, safe and comparatively prosperous country, while at the same time white and free from migration, raises the question to customers in Australia, the States or France: is it not besides late for us to return to this road?

The above mentioned Pronunciation says: "Globalists do not want a country like Poland to exist, due to the fact that it shows that economical success can be achieved without migration, without open borders, without liberal, globalist woke policy".

International far right and its impact on Polish policy

This trend shows something that the liberal-left side in Poland should remember: we are fighting not only with the increasingly extremist right-wing bloc, but besides with the internationalist which it is part of, with the global nationalist-populist movement against liberal democracy. Since January of this year, the movement has had powerful support in the form of president Trump's administration – even though during the crucial presidential elections in Poland, it was visible how the MEGA movement was unprecedentedly active in the run Karol Nawrockicontributing to his victory.

Polish anti-migration hysteria is not only due to the unworked Polish history, from our “backward”, more or little real social problems – they are induced in a global cultural and political war in which social media and nonsense posts of anonymous influencers play an crucial role. Therefore, it is not possible to underestimate their political influence – nevertheless curiosible they would not be.
