More Poles realise this now, but they are often frowned upon by the mainstream media (surprise, surprise - they are mostly German-owned) and called regressive, nationalistic, etc. But the trends are rather positive, we now have a government that seems to support Polish industry, and peoples' attitudes have changed. For example, there's a very popular mobile app called Pola, which tells you how much a product is "Polish" (it computes a score based on where the owners are located, whether the company does R&D in Poland, and so on) based on barcodes. It's actually pretty trendy now, and it's not uncommon to see people scanning stuff with it in supermarkets.

Interesting fact - some people responsible for the sell out to the west have been recently given prominent positions in Ukraine's government structures.
- lossolo 10y ago@wowoc Why you have created another account just to write that? You wrote the same comment as wowoc and deleted it.
- timthelion 10y agoPerhaps they don't want their normal screen name to be associated with pro-nationalistic views, as they are un-popular. I imagine that if I were a Pol working for a German software company, I would feel uncomfortable writing what OP just wrote under my normal screen name :P
- wowoc 10y agoI don't have pro-nationalistic views, that's a purely economic issue to me - its result is a long-lasting drain of capital. I did feel somewhat weird after posting that though, and @lossolo caught me.
