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 - PARIS 🇫🇷

Impressions from recent visit to Paris 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 Paris as it is today and the extent to which Paris is or is not changing. ‘TLDR’ - A lot of what is said about the scale of change in France is true but Paris is such a great city it can still fairly easily accommodate it Image
Paris really is ball-achingly beautiful. Hurts to say it if you are British but you sometimes get a sort of seething Antonio Salieri jealousy when you walk around it because it is so often such an effortlessly attractive city. Severe Paris syndrome is invariably a bit contrived Image

REVIEWING EUROPEAN CITIES - BUCHAREST 🇷🇴

Impressions from recent visit to Bucharest 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 Bucharest as it is today and the extent to which Bucharest is or is not changing. ‘TLDR’ - Bucharest feels comparatively poorer vs other EU capitals but seems to be improving. Relatedly, recently migrants started arriving Image
In contrast to some other Eastern Europe cities like Warsaw or even Belgrade Bucharest still ‘feels’ a little developing. It is much richer than it used to be but there is maybe a little further to go on that front yet. That said it is not a bad city, it is often quite lively Image

REVIEWING EUROPEAN CITIES - BRUSSELS 🇧🇪

Impressions from recent visit to Brussels 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 Brussels as it is today and the extent to which Brussels is or is not changing. ‘TLDR’ - Brussels is possibly the worst capital in Europe in terms of demographic change, migration has run wild and the city has transformed Image
Had not been to Brussels for maybe a decade and had fuzzy memories of it being… ‘bougie’ if dull, visiting recently - rare I am genuinely shocked by the pace of change nowadays but I was pretty shocked. It’s more Yookay than the Yookay if that is even possible. Has changed a lot Image

VISITING MOLENBEEK, BRUSSELS 🇧🇪🇪🇺

Molenbeek is one of the most infamous municipalities in Europe - right at the edge of the Belgian and European Union capital and known both for its very large migrant community and for producing a large number of Jihadis. I went on a tour 🧵 Image
Molenbeek is the largest migrant enclave in Brussels and one of maybe most known on the European continent given its location in the EU capital. Infamously it has been the home of many Islamists; eg the 2004 Madrid Bombers, Paris 2015 terrorists and Brussels 2017 Station Bomber Image
Just to note, Brussels today is probably the most ‘diverse’ capital in Europe - even more so than London or Paris. It really is transformed now so when you do go to the most ‘diverse’ neighbourhood of already the most ‘diverse’ city the jump is not as sudden as you might expect Image

REVIEWING EUROPEAN CITIES - COPENHAGEN 🇩🇰

Impressions from recent visit to Copenhagen 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 Copenhagen as it is today and the extent to which Copenhagen is or is not changing. ‘TLDR’ - Copenhagen’s reputation as about as Basically Fine as you can get is well-deserved but it is too soon to say it is out of the woods Image
To get straight to the point, Copenhagen is a very nice city. There are certain parts of the city that in the summer sun look so nice that it can actually be annoying - in the sense of “why don’t we have this elsewhere?” A high human capital city too, hard to beat on that front Image
