maybe austrians should've germanized this shithole

>>214070069 (OP)
Austrians barely cared about us.
Germany tried to germanize us and while it managed to do that with most Silesians before 19th century, in the age of nationalism it was already impossible and despite heavy germanization attempts and huge public funds spent on that purpose, the number of Polish-speakers in Germany was consistently growing and the German-Polish ethnic border was stable or even changed in favor of Polish speakers

>>214070069 (OP)
why Austrians?

Poles are ungermanisable.

>>214070207
did you really get this upset that you had to make a new thread instead of simply replying? you need to grow thicker skin

>>214070223
That's not true. Go to Gelsenkirchen, you will see every third surname being clearly Polish yet most these people even have no idea their ancestors were Polish and they think that they're 120% Germanic

>>214070255
I think it's pretty hilarious.

I think they wouldn't been fine if they hadn't gotten so royally fucked by the outcome of WW1 and WW2 desu. Look at how naturally they've rebounded since the fall of communism, they've had that dog in them this whole time.

we tried in krakow
turned out good i think
lovely city

>>214070275
shoo shoo, I don't think this particular Serb is interested in extracting your semen

>>214070284
>we tried in krakow
nah, instead of germanising Galicians you gave them autonomy and cultural freedom, that's not how you do germanization

>>214070299
That sort of thing is reserved for Ukrainian men and women. Poles as well.

>>214070284
btw, to this day some krakowian families have portraits of Franz Josef in their houses

>>214070299
I hold no allegiance to modern nation-states so I don't side with any semen supplier. I want to be left alone in the animal pit.

>>214070439
well not forcing poles is appearently the way to do it
the results speak for themselves

>>214070468
are there austrian families who have his potrait at home too?
i guess no
so we are more austrian than austrians kek

>>214070275
kek

>>214070468
Austrians just treated Poles like human beings so Poles repaid them with respect and love too
there were even Polish Prime Ministers of Austria
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfred_J%C3%B3zef_Potocki
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_Kasimir_Felix_Badeni

you can't ever imagine a Polish Reichskanzler in Berlin, right?

>>214070564
it is not that austrians are super nice
its just that germs and russhits are deranged bloodthirsty lunatics who happen to run their countries like concentration camps nobody wants to be a part of their reich realm kraj federatsya whatever name they find fitting for their prison shitholes

>>214070564
no i cant imagine that
>>214070729
also this
we had big trouble keeping this empire together in the first place with hungary constanly acting up. cant afford more revolutions

>>214070729
>its just that germs and russhits are deranged bloodthirsty lunatics
Why are Russians deranged and bloodthirsty?
Poland had high TFR and population when it was under USSR. And you got granted eastern part of Germany, better than having Ukrainians and Belorussians.

>>214070771
well, it pays off to be just nice
actually it should be just a default position
why should every empire adopt a genocidal stance against its minorities? why can't we just live happily together with mutual respect to each other?

>>214070284
Yea it mogs Prague, that city is overated as hell

>>214070859
i mean agreed
i still dream of this monarchy again but oh well

>>214070853
>had high TFR
bringing up historical TFR as an argument is a sure sign you are 100% brainlet

>>214070899
>Yea it mogs Prague
dude, they're not in the same league
Kraków might be cute but it's still just a village comparing to Prague. Well, Kraków even feels like a rural town comparing to Brno. I don't think there are many 19th century houses taller than 3-4 floors in Kraków, it gives you that provincial vibe.

Prague looks as an imperial capital despite not even being such (at least for most of the time), it's hard to believe how rich its inhabitants must have been.

>>214070978
also Prague has superb maintenance, every single house is renovated and freshly painted, no graffiti, no plaster falling off the wall, Vienna-tier level if not even better
Kraków on the other hand is largely run down outside the market square. Budapest has the same problem tho. You can just feel that Poland (and Hungary) were much poorer than Czechia in the last 100 years.

>>214071033
This is just a regular street in Kraków, still within the "touristic centre". It's probably the worst city in the former Austro-Hungarian realm in terms of maintenance except for what is now under Ukraine, Romania and Bosnia.

>>214070255
Why are Polacks such assholes?

>>214071092
Based and trad, misses some cyrillic signs and I'd feel at home.

yeah, that looks pretty much like Spb
both run down and repulsive despite having pretty architecture

>>214071176
there is nothing soulful in plaster falling off the walls

>>214071180
Brother I'm not Russian. I am a Serb.
>run down and repulsive
Sums down eastern Europe. No amount of EU money can really change how people are.

>>214071212
>Sums down eastern Europe.
ok, that's assuming that Czechia, Slovenia, Croatia and Baltic states are not eastern Europe, then fine
I already noticed that Poland looks a lot like Serbia, btw

>>214071273
>Czechia, Slovenia, Croatia and Baltic states are not eastern Europe
He fell for it award.

>>214071294
it's just my gsv experience
all of these have much better maintained cities than Poland or Serbia

>>214070978
czechia was one of the wealthiest regions of the empire, at times the richest. Also the main industrialized region, Prague also was a secondary capital, imagine Moscow-St.Petersburg ig

>>214071092
desu looks like some viennese districts

>>214071382
>desu looks like some viennese districts
no, it doesn't bro, i know you want me to feel better about my country but im a gsv expert, i know what all cities in Europe look like (more or less)
>Also the main industrialized region, Prague also was a secondary capital, imagine Moscow-St.Petersburg ig
i get that but still Prague is really impressive, so is basically every Czech city or even small town. Their 50k towns look like 300k cities in Poland when it comes to how tall the houses are.

>>214071382
btw, we have a town Bielsko-Biała which was called "little Vienna" in the AH times. It's somehow off the radar but in many aspects it feels more "urban" than Kraków. Interesting (and kinda expected) fact is that it was a German-majority city, the only one in Austrian Silesia/Galicia (it is only one city now, in AH times there were two separate cities, Bielsko was in Silesia, Biała in Galicia).

>>214071432
i guess its better to compare it with Lviv, another provincial city, than capitals like Prague or Vienna

>>214071532
looks nice

>>214071604
>i guess its better to compare it with Lviv, another provincial city, than capitals like Prague or Vienna
Well, Lviv was the capital of Galicia itself, Kraków wasn't even a regional capital, just a regular town without any special administrative role.
Imo Lviv is more beautiful than Kraków but sadly it is even in a worse state than Kraków. But I don't even blame Ukrainians for that because Poles have much more money yet can't keep their cities look good either.

>>214071532

Vienna at the time was also called the "largest czech city" because so many czechs lived there, competing with prague

>>214071687
>Vienna at the time was also called the "largest czech city"
sometimes it gets that funny, I think until like the 1960s Chicago was the second city with the biggest Polish population after Warsaw
>because so many czechs lived there
Well, now we know where Adolf's obsession about Slavs came from

Nah I've been to both.
Prague is comparable to Austrian influenced Croatian towns but upscaled and with more and bigger old buildings. And, of course, it has hq of many big companies unlike Zagreb. It's definitely not on par with Vienna or Ljubljana in terms of order and cleanliness. Besides the metro its infrastructure is probably even worse than those you'd find in Slovenia and Croatia.
Meanwhile Krakow is like Zagreb but clean and European (not Bosnian).
>>214071092
>This is just a regular street in Kraków, still within the "touristic centre". It's probably the worst city in the former Austro-Hungarian realm in terms of maintenance except for what is now under Ukraine, Romania and Bosnia.
Simply not true. You can easily put most of Croatia behind it.

>>214071663
>>214071743
i wonder if Galicia should have been split into the Grand Duchy of Krakow and the Kingdom of Lodomeria rather than a united province, but i doubt the poles of the east would like that either

seethed about my post so much you made a new thread
