      For the life of me, I will never get why a country that produced Chopin, Wieniawski, Iron Felix, etc., feels the need to lick the boots of the United States – a complete cultural wasteland – in the way it does.

        Because after we dumped entire socialist culture we were basically left with a XIX century church-nationalist frenzy compared to which even the US cultural wasteland looked attractive. Also it’s not like we had any alternative, entire nation was fed foie-gras style americanization by the media.

          Disappointing, but not surprising. The Great Satan strikes again.

    we’re kind of a stupid nation and it’s in our nature to just do silly things.

    This is the kind of shit you say im response to your country baking a really big pretzel in the shape of a famous person, not relentlessly marching Europe into war with Russia. Trying to start WWIII is far beyond lovable scamp territory.
