> Political climate, for one thing. (recent anti-LGBT sentiment, anti-refugee/migrant sentiment, anti-EU sentiment and general right/nationalist movement uptick)

Did you post this to start a flamewar, because you love campaigning against your own country, or just to spread misinformation?

This comment should be flagged.



Poland's recent rightward turn isn't fake news or even really that controversial in terms of "yes, that's a thing that happened/is happening".


GP comment can be backed up with news reports and with quotes of MP/government members. What do you need more?

> because you love campaigning against your own country

Democracy works best when discussion is open.


So, you judge/don't go to a whole country because of what its politicians say?

The USA's president has been saying a lot of questionable things, but I don't see anyone fleeing SF..?


You don't see the mayor of San Francisco being stabbed to death in public for being pro-gay.


You're right, you just see terrorist attacks, school shootings, and in SF in particular rampant crime with homeless people taking shits in the streets everywhere.

I'm just amazed at how much misinformation and exaggeration one can decide to spread.


> campaigning against your own country, or just to spread misinformation

Those were original discussion goal posts. Criticizing Trump or democrats based on facts is neither "campaigning against own country" neither misinformation.
