Let's face it. I always felt the inferiority complexes due to me being Polish. Poland was certainly a victimized country and due to all of this, Poland became a backwards country. Nowadays, it's apparently not even the case, Poland isn't much of a backwards country. OK, so I'm gonna state the reasons why I felt and to some degree I still feel inferiority complexes about my country.
First, Poland is a deeply religious country, not really thinking about allowing other religions (due to the fact my negative attitude towards abrahamic religions is well-known, I'm gonna mention my beliefs), like atheism, agnosticism, paganism etc. Correct me, if I'm wrong and I'm falsely accusing Poland, because it seems like there is some degree of tolerance. Yet I met some Catholic proselytizers here. Second, Polish men have misogynistic tendencies here, spreads lies via Internet and real life about women being "promiscuous" etc. It's not false accusation, I met men (and pick-me women sometimes) like this, who wouldn't stand by women. Third, I observe some lack of self-awareness, when it comes to what some Poles did to the ethnic or religious minorities (that's for you, Geddy Lee, but still, you prefer dehumanizing the whole Polish population, including myself, who haven't done anything wrong and that's why I'm defensive). While I advocate for excavations of many anti-Jewish pogroms, as those people frankly, guilt-trip Poles and perhaps want reparations from Poland (of course, I got nothing against Jewish Holocaust survivors, getting their own houses back, if proven, but I feel like there is some hostility going on against Poland from their part), I believe that Polish people would have to deal with it, if again, those excavations proved the Poles to be the sole perpetrators. Of course, there is a possibility that Germany orchestrated the pogroms and the Soviet Russia also orchestrated Kielce pogrom, but I don't believe all nations are saint. Not even the Poles. Yet I have to complain about the hypocrisy of Poland-hating Jewish people (I can sympathize with their trauma, but do they see themselves in the mirror?). Most of them, wouldn't have anything against killing Palestinians. Yes, I do recognize that Hamas raped and killed Jewish women and as a feminist, I absolutely condemn it, it's horrifying to think that those men did those crimes in the name of Palestinian freedom or Islamic religion, but many human rights organizations have severely criticized the Israelis for multiple human rights violations. E.g. Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch. And if you folks, wanted to know, why am I upset at Rush and Geddy Lee, is because they decided to punish modern Poles with the lack of concert in Poland. I don't believe that in case if Geddy Lee's parents had such trauma from some nasty Polish people, Poles wouldn't empathize and just say "humans are awful towards one another". With this perspective, I absolutely agree. I'm able to notice the exaggerations and even outright lies made by the pro-Palestinians, who also tend to idealize Palestinians and other Arabs, but I'd wish for real peace, no wars and I will continue having quasi-hippie views, a little bit mixed with pro-patriotic (but able to see the shortcomings of Poland) and survivalist (I'm a woman, women are very often victimized and I don't wanna be a victim) views, but I don't like, how many Jewish people are killing their legacy as pro-peace, anti-genocide people, thanks to the far-right politicians like Netanyahu, Gantz, Ben Gvir etc.
Again, as for my oikophobia, I thought I outgrew such feelings, because in many other countries, women have about the same or even worse, e.g. in the radical Muslim countries, many patriarchal countries like e.g. USA or Russia, women have it same or worse than in Poland, in many countries, there were worse genocides than in Poland or perpetrated by the Poles and I don't need to feel guilty about being Polish, it enhances my deadly cortisol-levels, as I want to live a stress-free life, full of concerts, entertainment, good friends (if I got any), positive vibes, not negative vibes etc.
And that is my conclusion.
