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.”

☸️ THE FALL OF THE KINGDOM OF SIKKIM

In the C19th and 20th large numbers of Nepali workers were settled in the Himalayan Kingdom of Sikkim, over time becoming a majority - this demographic change providing the impetus for the eventual dissolution of the historic Sikkim state 🧵 Image
Sikkim, once a sovereign Himalayan kingdom, saw its tenability as a state dramatically contested by waves of Nepali migration - initially as labourers, but then as dominant political actors who transformed the state’s demographic and political character, eventually dissolving it Image
Old Sikkim was a Buddhist kingdom ruled by the Namgyal dynasty (1642–1975). The political system was feudal - led and upheld by the royal and spiritual authority of the Chogyal (king), with power shared among Bhutia aristocrats and local Lepcha chiefs under a theocratic-monarchy Image

PICTURE THREAD TOUR OF LEICESTER, UK 🇬🇧

I recently visited Leicester - one of the cities in Britain most transformed by immigration and the infamous location of a recent series of intercommunal riots between its Hindu and Muslim communities - to see what it looks like today 🧵 Image
Leicester received more migrants before other British cities because of its textile industry and an influx of Ugandan Asians, creating chain migration incentives. Aside from its infamous community unrest also in recent years Richard III’s body was discovered under a carpark here Image
Leicester is one of Britain’s first majority minority cities, in 2021 41% white of which 33% are white British. This is very reflected at street level, very visible - you will see white British people but the vast majority of people will be from other ethnic backgrounds Image

REVIEWING EUROPEAN CITIES - TBILISI 🇬🇪

Impressions from recent visit to Tbilisi 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 Tbilisi as it is today and the extent to which Tbilisi is or is not changing. ‘TLDR’ - Tbilisi is an underrated city where issues affecting the rest of Europe are still novel, politics is more balancing EU & Russia influence Image
Georgia is ‘The Very Edge of Europe’ Europe, Europe but not quite - uncanny valley Europe with some extra exotic motifs, the mythical Colchis, ‘almost European’. Gun to my head would draw the cultural borders of Europe (maybe you could say Christendom) near here or maybe Armenia Image

REVIEWING EUROPEAN CITIES - PRAGUE 🇨🇿

Impressions from recent visit to Prague 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 Prague as it is today and the extent to which Prague is or is not changing. ‘TLDR’ - Prague is a fun Basically Fine city but it can suffer from overtourism. A very limited number of guest workers are now starting to arrive Image
Mostly enjoy Prague as a city, don’t think it will blow anyone away but it is a fairly liveable place, Basically Fine. It remains a largely Czech city with by European standards a sober population and is a good example of ‘Moderate Euromodernism with Visegradian Characteristics’ Image

REVIEWING EUROPEAN CITIES - BELGRADE 🇷🇸

Impressions from recent visit to Belgrade 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 Belgrade as it is today and the extent to which Belgrade is or is not changing. ‘TLDR’ - Belgrade is a tidy and organised city in an ongoing construction boom. It is a very overtly nationalistic place without much migration Image
Belgrade is very clean, rare to see trash on the floor. Some parts of the city are a little shabby but mostly in the sense of decaying communist era architecture. There is a big buzz of new development, apartments, skyscrapers, shopping malls being built along the city’s waterfrontImage
