Also I just learned what a 'gaseosa' is.
Also, that meme about real Poles has been making rounds on the Polish internet, or at least the parts of it which I frequent. Apparently we got to the point where we have our own equivalent of "plastic Paddies" among Polish-Americans, and people have been mocking them mercilessly. This picture is a riff on the idea that the descendants of emigrants are more "true" or "pure" members of an ethnicity than those who stayed back because social changes that occured in meantime made the latter "less pure". I'm pretty sure that many ethnicities with a big diaspora has had a bunch of these takes, and now it's our turn.
I also found this oddly specific Wikipedia article.

@lrdgck: Polish Right-wing extremist and anime waifus, that's like, your two favourite things.
(Figuring out whether the account is parody or not would require clicking "Translate Post" more times than I'm willing to, so I choose to believe it's real.)
Damned if I know, but weirder things have happened. Remember, vatniks have already had their waifu, the moe-anthropomorphised dumptruck Buhanka-chan. Looks like either it's real, or some memester uses photos of real right-wing extremists to tell the story of a fake right-wing extremist paramilitary group. For what it's worth, I've seen it brought up somewhere a few days ago without it being explicitly called as fake.
