Hello fellow /his/torians, this thread is opened for discussion about the Commonwealth which (except for the partitions) always seems to get forgotten.

Because both the Poles and the Lithuanians want to forget it, I made a joking post on /int/ asking when reunification would occur and it ended up in a huge internet fight between them.

There are two factors actually.
1. Only Poles and Baltics care about it.
2. The only people who care about it hate it.
Those two combine to answer your question, OP.

Just uttering the word "Vilno" is enough to create tremendous Polish butthurt.

Lithuanians sometimes want to forget it and sometimes they pick some historical character to claim them as their own. It's changing from time to time.
The Commonwealth had some ideas that were ahead of its time but unfortunately the people were really shitty and they had terrible neighbors. At least they scored some pretty meme victories.
They had the best concept of liberty ever devised, unfortunately it was restricted to the nobility, but if you expanded it instead of using bullshit like Rousseau's doctrines of equality, you could have liberalism that doesn't degenerates into communism over time.
Fuck Lithuania.

Well about 13% of the population was some sort of nobility and everyone had a chance to become one so that's better than in other countries.
I just became Commonwealth in EUIV feels good man.

Lithuanians should fuck off and accept Polish superiority. Look at them now, the pathetic shits, reliant on NATO and especially Poland to save their worthless asses from Russia. They are incapable of defending themselves with their tiny armies yet want to provoke the Russians, because they know it is other countries that will do the dying for them.
All the V4 and Baltic nations should acknowledge Poland's leadership and leading role in the regional security architecture.
Lithuanians aren't liked much by latvians or estonians either. They've got this weird superiority-napoleonic complex going on at the same time.
And these days polacks are more based than jerries or frogs.
Fuck litts.

Poland is the last free nation on Earth. All others are either slaves or masters, but only Poland has chosen liberty!
