Steam double standards.
Good morning everyone. Am I the only person who found this outreagous?

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3574700234

How dare steam promote the symbol of a regime that, according to various sources, murdered between ten and twenty million people? As a Pole whose ancestors died because of this felonious ystem, I feel outraged and disgusted.

Obviously it is funny to you because your country wasn't enslaved, you were the ones who enslaved others.

Here's an idea, Mr., Misses, They, Them, or whatever you are: rather than trying to discriminate and ruin a much-spirited, absolutely stunning gaming platform, by dictating to others how they should and shouldn't think...

How about you simply create your own popular gaming platform with other hypocritical cancel-culture-type people like yourself, and live happily on there playing with others who think more in line with yourself instead; how about that?



Its funny how you attack one mans country and conveniently over look the history of your own countries historical facts.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't there a number of Polish individuals who collaborated with the Nazis, informed on Jews, and participated in pogroms?

One of the most infamous examples is the Jedwabne massacre (1941), where local Polish villagers killed hundreds of their Jewish neighbours (that wasn't very nice was it?).

How about the post-war violence against Ukrainians from 1944 to 1947—Operation Vistula (Akcja "Wisła")?

Where the Polish communist government forcibly resettled about 140,000 Ukrainians and Lemkos, officially to suppress the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).

Though that situation was not officially declared a genocide, the operation involved ethnic cleansing, mass deportation, and suppression of Ukrainian culture and identity (Again, that's not a good look for Poland either).

FYI in the above situation, it was the Ukrainians who in fact actual declared what your country did to them as a genocide.



Oh yeah, what about 1943–1945?

The Polish–Ukrainian ethnic violence in response to the Volhynia massacres (where the UPA killed tens of thousands of Poles), but the Polish forces and militias committed retaliatory massacres of 'Ukrainian civilians' in response.

Now scholars debate whether these Polish actions amounted to genocide or reprisal killings, but the violence was extensive and targeted—no matter how you try to dress it up, that too is NOT a good look for your country, killing unarmed civilians is very bad MmmKay!


Should I go on?


If you want, I can continue and bring up the anti-Jewish pogroms after WWII.

Kielce Pogrom (1946):

In post-war Poland, 42 Jews were killed by a Polish mob (with some complicity from authorities), fuelled by a false accusation of child kidnapping (a blood libel) which caused a massive wave of Jewish emigration from Poland.

While not part of a state policy of genocide, it still reflected the ongoing antisemitism and violence with deadly consequences by your country.


How about that?

Should we ban the Polish flag, naaaaah i don't think so, i like the Polish.

How about this!!!

How about we just leave politics out of gaming, drop the whole cancel culture mentality and all just get along regardless of our governments politics?

By your logic we should have no Brits, no Americans, no Polish, no Germans, no Chinese, no Cambodians, no Turkish, no Sudanese, no Russian, no French, no Japanese, no Indonesian, no Ethiopian, no Syrian, no Libyan, no Iraqi and loads of other countries who have all been involved in questionable acts that heave lead to the deaths of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people.

Where do you draw the line?

That's going to be some empty gaming servers bruh.
