Land bond. This is one of the reasons why I don't think multiculturalism works. A person in the depths of his soul feels that he belongs somewhere, it is written in our DNA. I remember that my uncle was once looking for our family who lived in the USA, their ancestors who came from Europe. They were curious where they came from, and I know that many Americans have been searching for their roots. When a person is young he does not feel the bond of the land so strongly, but as he ages he feels the call more if he lives abroad. When people stop feeling bonded their land, the nation will perish. Greet from Slovakia.
You both are genuinely great guys! It is fascinating to hear your speaking so highly about your adopted country, Poland. Wishing you and your families all the best!
Great interview, guys. As a teenager I always felt the need to leave my country thinking there's no prospects for me there and at the time the Anglo-Saxon culture seemed to have so much to offer. I've lived in Scotland for 10 years now (my whole adult life) and while I certainly wouldn't be the person I am today if I hadn't emigrated, the experience has awoken a great sense of homesickness in me and I have come to appreciate what I used to take for granted. The western individualism that, I must admit, has helped me get to know myself better and find out who I really am (partly through financial independence which is much easier to achieve here), somehow feels very hollow and shallow in the long term. To a certain degree I feel disconnected from my roots, family, common culture, common history, the sense of belonging and being proud to be part of something bigger than myself. I'm wondering if Patrick and Ryan would agree that while, in comparison to e.g. British people (I know that Ryan used to briefly live in the UK, too), Polish people may seem unapproachable, reserved, perhaps even rude at times - but in fact they are the ones with whom you can bond over time and form deep, honest and genuine relationships. We just don't have the same "filter" that people in the West do, which makes us look more crude, whereas in reality we are more genuine and true to ourselves. When we are happy and having a good time in your company - we'll treat you like family and hug you (especially after a few drinks ;-) ), but when we believe you need a good talking-to, we will not hide our feelings under a dozen layers of fake smiles. This directness used to actually bother me when I lived in Poland as a very young man, but I have come to miss it having lived in the land of "Do they really mean it or are they just being polite?" for so long. Świetna robota, wspaniale ogląda się Wasze filmy i być może potrzeba było Anglika i Amerykanina, by obudzić we mnie na nowo dumę bycia Polakiem. :-)
HI Michał, lots to discuss here. I would basically agree with you there - I think Poles form deeper relationships. I can't say either is better or worse - I also appreciate British humour and openness.
@@amazingpolishhistory Hi Patrick, thanks for your reply. I absolutely agree - British humour and openness are remarkable and there are certainly many more things that we could learn from British people. Self-distance and not taking everything so seriously (often being overridden by emotion) would be another two examples. I didn't mean to attempt to objectively decide which culture is better, it was just the perspective of a young emigrant who possibly used to suffer from "the Polish complex" when leaving his country (however embarrassing it may be to admit that) and who has come to realise that whilst there are so many things we can learn from the British, we also possess unique and perhaps rare qualities that we can proudly cherish, even if we're not understood by the rest of the world. :-) To see a Brit talking about the Warsaw Uprising with such passion and sensitivity makes me think that perhaps our values our more universal than we (used to) think. :-) Thanks for all your good work!
Zdaje się, że chyba wiem dlaczego Ryan zatoczył koło i wrócił do kraju przodków i według mnie nie chodzi tu tylko patriotyzm ale o to, że on w końcu jest tu u siebie w domu. To jest jego miejsce na ziemi. Myślę, że Ryan zamieszkałby w Polsce nawet gdyby dalej była biedna i dzieliłby tak jak wszyscy Polacy biedę np. lat 60-70 tych albo wcześniejsze represje. On nie tylko ma tu korzenie ale on je czuje. To jest bardzo specyficzne i tylko polskie uczucie, które przy nawet najdokładniejszym tłumaczeniu obcokrajowcom nie sposób wytłumaczyć, zwłaszcza w dzisiejszych czasach. Coś podobnego może mają Szkoci?, może?
Wzruszające. Bardzo. Wszystkiego najlepszego na polskiej ścieżce. To prawda, że sami nie doceniamy swoich cech narodowych. Gdyby jeszcze udało się wyeliminować wady...
I love you guys. I've learnt a lot from your videos on my own homeland and I will be always grateful for the love you have for Poland that led you to promoting our (by which I mean both mine and yours) history and culture. Please, keep up the good work!
Hmmmm people may think that a polish woman who marries a foreigner is a whore. It is true in many cases. Basically women value money and position not love. That why women basically are whores hidden in a marriage. But in this case - this boy is valuable not just a stupid wealthy American. He is elite in terms of his knowledge and values therefore no wonder that she has been loving him. Wow!!!!! Simplicity as one of most valuable features of Poland !!!! I think that simplicity is spreading in the whole western world. For example - a movie Paterson about a simple life deprived of any ambitions of career etc. Once ambitions appear the quality of life deteriorates. Slow life. He is right that many people tend to career and money in Poland but .....there is a growing number of usually young people who don’t value it and don’t want to sacrifice their life to money and career and who don’t build their self esteem on money and position.
If u wiil come to Szczecin - make a trip with blabla to Drawsko Pomorskie ... lake "Jelonki " there are many ppl frome cansas & new yersey lately ... half year ago texas/haiti boys & girls ... great opprtunity to learn us new jersey accent wich i think is the best :)
I tell you guys, when you go to Mierzeja Wiślana go extra 10 kilometers to Piaski past Krynica Morska, which is very crowded during summer months. Piaski, is a quiet fishing village and resort town. Mierzeja is hilly, what a contrast to Hel Peninsula, don't miss Garb Wielbłądzi 56 meters a.s.l. I do not recommend Hel Peninsula due to road congestions.
Wow. Hipotetycznie wojna miedzy US a PL i facet mowi zostaje tutaj w Polsce i bede walczyl. Kuzwa ten gosc to wiekszy patriota niz niejeden Polak z urodzenia. Takich ludzi nam trzeba.
The emphasis on blood connection is disturbing and regressive. Successful nations are those capable of exporting their culture and attracting and assimilating new people into their own. Anything else is doomed to failure and underachievement.

I am almost crying watching this interview ♥️ beautiful words. I am proud to know that Poland has such great citizens as yourselves.

It is the highest time for Poles to shake off this so called "polish complex". Poles are wonderful creative people.
