You would have thought they would have learnt the lessen last time Nazi's marched in Poland that this can only lead to bad things...
BBC just says that far right groups were among the 200k
Is "YourAnonCentral" via "HooligansTV" typically pretty accurate?

That's fucked up. I hope Europe is ready to defends its citizens right to be free from ethnic cleansing. Use tanks, guns, and planes if you have to.
Edit: original Twitter post is bad. The BBC mentioned that the president warned people not to bring offensive banners and signs.

Pretty sensational title. BBC's article reads:
"Huge crowds have been celebrating the centenary of Poland's independence, amid controversy over a decision to include far-right groups.
President Duda had said he wanted the march to be a proud and joyful celebration and warned that anyone carrying offensive banners or chanting the types of slogans heard at last year's event - such as "Pure Poland, white Poland" - would be dealt with by the police.
Sunday's events were said to have been peaceful and there were no reports of offensive banners or chanting."

I don't know If I should feel sad or angry at the irony on display.

So not quite 200k nazi's, but not an innocent march either.

Oh ok, so it's an Independence Day celebration with some assholes in attendance.
I'm pretty sure I read that the far right groups won a legal victory to be able to march there. So the government is complicit in this
The government of Poland is led by religious nutjobs. I'm not going to automatically assume 200k is an accurate number but I work with Polish people almost every day. The whining from certain groups in the country about a white ethnostate is fucking absurd considering the demographics of the country as it is.
So, from what I gather, the President and Prime Minister were actually leading a march celebrating the centenary of Poland's independence. 200k involves everyone who attended that march. Far right nationalist groups were allowed to participate in the march due to a court decision last week.
2 minutes of reading and suddenly it's not the end of the world.

Well that's an incredibly sensationalist title and inaccurate tweet. I don't support the far-right and/or nationalist movements of Poland, but the country does have an understandably conflicted history when it comes to nationalism. Having been deprived of an actual state for such a long period of time has made their national identity a very sensitive topic, and something they have suffered through to secure. Yes, there were probably some hateful people attending that rally, but to define the many by the few is gross.
NYT:
No members of the opposition or leading public figures who are not close to the government attended the event, which the police said attracted 250,000 people, and which critics said was a surrendering of Independence Day to radical groups.
The procession — one of scores of events across Europe to mark the 100 years since the end of World War I — followed days of legal turmoil after the mayor of Warsaw banned the Independence March organized every year by far-right groups. Among them are the National Radical Camp, which human rights activists have for years said should be made illegal.
The march, which in previous years involved violent clashes with the police, made international headlines last year when demonstrators chanted, "Pure Poland, white Poland," and "Refugees, get out!" and a small group of hard-liners carried banners with the slogan "White Europe of brotherly nations."
The organizers challenged the mayor's ban, and a Warsaw court eventually sided with them, calling the decision "preventive censorship." Before that ruling was handed down, however, officials decided to hold a state procession in place of the Independence March, prompting more anger from nationalists.
The far-right groups and government eventually agreed to walk together in one procession divided into two parts — one for the officials, and one for the nationalists.
Obviously a year where no one fact checks and races to propagate sensationalist headlines.
I should know.
