    This same type of thing happens here in the United States. The amount of small towns that have been absolutely destroyed due to “corporate farming” is high. Most small town in the USA have been hurt by these industrial farming practices. Although let’s not forget, my parents hated being forced to farm to survive. They dreamed of just having a job and some free time without needing to toil in the fields. So the question is, was joining the EU and ending up in these positions better for the people of Poland?

          closer to 20%, and about as many as opposed EU accesion in the first place. PiS barks a lot but doesn’t want to actually quit because this would eviscerate their support base that does depend on EU funding, like farmers but not only them

            I still have family that lives in the zakopane area. When I talk to them the stuff they say reminds me of trump supporters in USA. Very conspiratorial and I can’t reason with them because they use Facebook sources. Also polling always undercounts these types of people… Once again look at USA. Just my 2 cents but things are getting weird there in Poland.

                Well Poland has progressed greatly, but you did mention that small villages are struggling greatly with the policies since EU integration. Obviously things aren’t as rosy as the economic numbers suggest for Poland since there is a portion of the population that feels left behind

                    Oh, maybe? I’m ignorant in politics except from what I hear from my family members there.
