Customer Reviews
Insightful
Stanley’s perspective is left of my own, however I highly value hearing thoughtful analysis from people who see things a little differently than me; you cannot consider yourself wise without considering all perspectives. My children and I especially enjoyed his history of Poland series.
Biased Western subversive news
Basically a neo liberal westerner critiquing and saying the steps needed to change Poland into a center to maybe even center left secular society
Hack
He’s a complete commie hack with no regard for the truth. Everything is skewed way left. Would not recommend to anyone interested in actual Polish politics.
