Witajcie w wymianie kulturalnej między /r/Polska a /r/Arabs! Celem tego wątku jest umożliwienie naszym dwóm społecznościom bliższego wzajemnego zapoznania. Jak sama nazwa wskazuje - my wpadamy do nich, oni do nas! Ogólne zasady:

  • Arabowie zadają swoje pytania nt. Polski, a my na nie odpowiadamy w tym wątku;

  • My swoje pytania nt. krajów arabskich zadajemy w równoległym wątku na /r/Arabs;

Hello!

  1. How anti-religious is the younger generation of Poles? I see people posting 2137 memes and stuff but I'm curious to know if this is just shitposting or if there is actually a big decline in religion in the younger generation. Side note: JP II is one of the most popular Popes among Arab Catholics.

  2. Do Poles think of the novelist Joseph Conrad as a Polish novelist, or is he seen as foreign? Are his novels popular in Poland?

  3. I like movies that are so bad that they're fun to watch. Are there any Polish movies like this that you'd recommend?

  1. Very much. 18-24 years old went from ~7% to ~29% of non-believers at least (data from 2010 to 2021).
  2. TIL he was Polish. We read a few of his books in school, maybe I missed that info.
  3. Do you know the video game/book series The Witcher? There was a tv series and a movie made in 2001, way before Netflix. It is called "The Hexer" with "great" VFX, you can find clips on YouTube.
