I know why is Poland laughed at and Polish historical suffering so trivialized

 It all doesn't help. 
How many times have I explained to foreign people that Poles have also been killed in many gruesome ways? Wola, Volhynia, Katyn, you name it. Most cruel was Volyn with 300 tortures against Poles, but other ways like camps and Poles getting shot in the back of the head were also unbearable.
My beef with my favorite band was exactly over this. 
I had to create Gilbert Gottfried-esque jokes about my country's suffering, put on my Alice Cooper's persona (Dead Babies and Cold Ethyl come to mind).
But most people there didn't catch what I wanted to say nor did they catch the joke.
Some people just need to Google who the hell was "Testoviron" meme in Poland.
Basically this guy called Testoviron was a misogynistic and anti-Polish dickhead who pretended to be from Israel, but in reality he was a Pole from Chicago, hating other Poles.
I just wish Neil Peart's sister understood, what I was joking about. Because yes, frankly I didn't like the Rush-The Runaways feud, as both bands were my favorites.
So the thing is, Poland is actually hated by all nations, it seems like most nations wish the Polish people non-existence or other cruel things that remind us of trauma.
At least it's great that I have NO BEEF with Rush anymore, at least I can give it to 2027.
But I wish people cared a little more about Polish suffering, as the mainstream media wishes upon us another experience of awful conflicts.

 It's an explanation about the apparent beef with Rush fanbase, which I'm forgetting about now: "There were three Polish men an...
