I cannot reference your exact comment because it is now flagged, but I believe you said people in Poland don't care about that these issues are only concerns to a very small but influential niche of Westerners. I do not believe I misrepresented what you wrote, though I may have misrepresented what you meant. But then I read the rest of your comment and I feel comfortable that I didn't misread anything at all. In fact you make that clear at the end: > And in the meantime people in Poland live everyday lives, not caring about all that stuff. I know Polish people that do not think like you. I don't take them to represent the entirety of your country, nor do I take your word either. I'm not really going to debate the topics, nor do I care to defend myself against the imagined caricature you've conjured of me. I just think your claims to represent the reality in Poland do not square with the reality I know others live or behavior that is plainly evident from your major political party in power. Of course that party doesn't represent everyone anymore than Trump represents most Americans, but it evidences something real and tangible.

You misrepresented what they said. You misrepresented their intention. You misrepresented their literal. Their point is fair. Poland might be cultural different to the West. They lived there and explained why it might be the case. It was a logical interesting point. Their point on whether "SJW"s help or hurt has been discussed to death. This seems true - Highest number of first residence permits issued in Poland - https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/2995521/10189082/3-25102019-AP-EN.pdf/95e08bc8-476d-1f7d-a519-300bdec438cb https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/2995521/10189082/3-2... Comments like "You have no women in your society concerned with misogyny?" was trolling.

  I wasn't trolling, I was reacting indignantly to what I perceived to be a blatant overstep on their part by claiming to speak for Poland. I know they do not, because I personally know and socialize with Polish people and also know - as a direct result of that - a bit of Polish political news. I am not here for any "SJW" debate as everyone else seems to keen to get into, nor do I care to litigate Poland's track record of immigration as I lack either interest or competence to do so. I do not doubt or question that Polish has a different cultural disposition than more Western countries.
