The African Human Rights Activist Who Pozzed Poland 🇵🇱

“The sordid and twisted tale of Simon Mol: The African Human Rights and anti-racist Activist who literally pozzed Poland’s leftists”

This Thread was first posted by the User Mencius Moldbugman 🧵 Image
Born in Cameroon, Simon sought asylum in Poland in 1999 when he claimed he was being persecuted for his journalism on human rights. Before that he moved round several African countries seeking asylum. He claimed to have been arrested in 1996 for exposing government corruption. Image
In actual fact, It was later revealed that this “persecution” was entirely fabricated. He was never jailed, and his mother admitted that he had actually worked in a refinery. The only thing he had ever written about was some short articles about football. Image
After settling in Poland, Simon quickly became a rising star in Poland’s leftist scene. He wrote about racism, accusing his new country of engrained racism, filing reports to Amnesty about Polish racism, and was awarded “Anti-Facist of the Year” in 2003. Image
Here is one of his “poems” (in full) that won him critical acclaim and honorary membership of the International Pen Club:

“Life, Death, Life.
Light, Darkness, Light, Darkness;
Light, Life?
Nothing can stop nature.
Not even nature itself.”
His journalist & political career rocketed. In 2005 he organised a conference to protest about an article in a Polish paper that said African women were susceptible to AIDS ‘cos their husbands wouldn’t wear condoms. The author (Adam Lesvczynski) was accused of prejudice by Simon.
In 2006 reports started coming in from Leftist women in Poland’s human rights scene who claimed to have contracted HIV after sleeping with Simon. Polish police refused to arrest him out of fear of his connections. Image
Simon wrote articles denouncing his accusers of racism themselves:

“The accusation of being HIV positive is the latest weapon that as an African your enemy can raise against you.”
More women came forward. One witness stated that he had refused to wear a condom during sex and had accused her of being racist because asking him to wear a condom was racist as it implied all blacks had HIV. He also told women his sperm was sacred and had magical powers. Image
In 2007 he was finally taken into custody and charged with deliberately infecting people with HIV. It was discovered he was diagnosed with HIV in 1999 while in a Polish refugee shelter, but Polish law did not force a carrier to reveal their disease status and it was kept hidden. Image
Simon Mol had slept with over 300 Polish girls and infected over 40 of them with HIV. Many of them were activists in Poland’s human rights and antifa movements. Even after his arrest, Simon claimed no knowledge of his status and accused the police of racism. Image
His photo was publicly displayed with an epidemiological warning. MediaWatch, anti-racism body, decried the decision as institutional racism and called for international condemnation.

Simon Mol died in 2008, still claiming that accusations against him were politically motivated.
Several of the infected women contracted the virus from Simon during his visit to Gdansk in 2006 to organise the anti-racist “Music against Intolerance and Violence” festival.

After his death, reporters contacted his mother in Africa. Her response: “The White Man killed my son.” Image
One girl infected by Simon explained later:

“I was fascinated by human rights activists fighting with racial stereotypes. Soon we started to meet, went to bed. I didn’t suspect that he could infect me with the HIV virus and even less, hide from me that he is infected...”(cont.)
“...I also thought that suspecting him of being infected would equal my giving way to racist stereotypes. Thus we made love unprotected.”
To end this thread, Simon Mol’s most well-known poem “Polish Goddess”. Think about everything you have read so far and consider what Simon may have been really trying to say when he wrote this: Image
“Then - as the Moon lit the path
of the beautiful Goddess
illuminating the darkness of the night
two tears ran down her left eye
ending their journey
burying all the nightmares
healing wounds foisted upon me
and upon my Brothers
by those like her.”

REVIEWING EUROPEAN CITIES - STOCKHOLM 🇸🇪

Impressions from recent visit to Stockholm and the ways in which the city is and is not changing in the 2020’s 🧵 Image
This is not a complaining thread, more just to describe Stockholm as it is today and the extent to which Stockholm is or is not changing. ‘TLDR’ - Stockholm is a modern, pleasant, high human capital city which to a large extent lets it shrug off its large recent migrant influxes Image
For a city that spends nine long months in the dark Nordic winter Stockholm is probably about ‘as good as you can get’. Well-organised, developed. Actually the Nordic capitals are very grand, pleasant if cold. Not sort of slightly grotty like Berlin, Brussels, Eastern Europe etc Image

The year is 2050. Changing demographics have Latinamerica-fied your politics - like in Latin America western countries are now condemned to neverending lurching between two ideological extremes that then only further radicalise in reaction to each other. Which side do you choose? Image
America will fulfil its destiny and become the penultimate Latin American country in the Americas, before Canada which will first become a Subcontinental country and then a Latin American country after the Latinos move up into it from America. Trump is the first American Caudillo
This is the politics you get if you de-Basically Fine-ify your society with decades upon decades of Ideology-maxxing

HOW NATIVES THINK - WHY MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK SO IRRATIONALLY 🧵

Lucien Lévy-Bruhl was an early 20th century French anthropologist writing before many of the taboos academic anthropology has accumulated today. In his book ‘How Natives Think’ he explores why so many people - and for him especially so many ‘non-civilised’ peoples - seem to be so superstitious. He tries to explain what it is that is happening inside the minds of (he calls them) ‘natives’ when, for example, they appear to have difficulty understanding causality in anything other than in terms of spirits or djinns. Though the work is not without its critics (eg it has been called reductive, eurocentric and generalising) it is an interesting example of taboo-free study on the ubiquity of a kind of magical thinking or djinnbrainImage
Lévy-Bruhl’s core claim is that so-called “primitive” peoples do not think illogically as such, but instead according to different rules. Reasoning is primarily shaped by emotion, symbolism and collective belief, not contradiction or empirical causation Image
That is, their thinking is guided by collective representations - shared mental images (like totems, taboos, spirits) that have a deep emotional force. See: the power of djinn in some societies (ie Djinnbrain). These guide thought and action without needing justification Image

New Article in the Telegraph on ‘The Yookay’ and my @MythoYookay page. “The "Yookay" now has a wider implication too: to suggest … we are now a new country, an actual successor state to the old Great Britain” Image
Image
Article is much more sympathetic than the articles in more left-leaning outlets. Somehow an easy enough concept to grasp when there is less bias Image
About the radical historical break the change represents Image

REVIEWING EUROPEAN CITIES - ZAGREB 🇭🇷

Impressions from recent visit to Zagreb and the ways in which the city is and is not changing in the 2020’s 🧵 Image
This is not a complaining thread, more just to describe Zagreb as it is today and the extent to which Zagreb is or is not changing. ‘TLDR’ - Zagreb is not as interesting VS Croatia’s coastal areas but it less touristy, a good ‘local’ city. Guest workers recently started to arrive Image
Don’t think visitors will ever really be blown away by Zagreb but it’s not a bad city. Very similar in layout and look to smaller capitals of other smaller Eastern European cities, eg Bratislava, Ljubljana, Sofia, Belgrade, Vilnius and so on. Wealthier than some of those at least Image
