What factors go into deciding who is the GOAT? Are some achievements worth more than others when qualifying someone?
For example, who is the greatest Pole in history?
>Jan III Sobieski, whose military leadership ended the Ottomon Conquest of Europe?
>Frederik Chopin, arguably the greatest composer of the Romantic era?
>Karol Józef Wojtyła, aka Pope John Paul II?
>Marie Curie?
>Copernicus?
Curie was a walking meme who's mostly known for having a cunt. Copernicus was German.

what about King Casimir from Civ 5
Two of those are French and one is German.
>>408879
I think the answer you're looking for is "pure ideology".

>Nicolas Chopin tutored children of the Polish aristocracy, and in 1806 married Justyna Krzyżanowska, a poor relation of the Skarbeks, one of the families for whom he worked.
>Marie Skłodowska Curie, born Maria Salomea Skłodowska, was a Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity.

Skłodowska Curie was a very proud Pole. At the time, the Poland didn't exist, so many Poles wanted to prove their worth, as well as their importance by being overachievers. Everything that Skłodowska did was for the glory of Poland in her mind.

In many ways they are the ultimate underdog. They did a lot of based things, but they never got credit for it, quite the opposite.
>Sobieski
You fucking memer, he managed to win two battles and then lose every single one. Plus he totally fucked up administration in Poland.

Cuire was one of the most important scientist of XIX century, WHILE also having a cunt and being BFFs with Einstein. Copernicus was bilingual, but he came from Czech Silesia. Chopin was so patriotic, his best pieces are Polonaises
The real memes here are Sobieski and Wojtyła, both were actually very mediocre and both are revered for no reason. If you want to find more relevant Poles, try Kościuszko, Łukasiewicz, Poniatowski, Zammenhof, Pilecki, Waryński. And Piłsudski of course.
3 hours later and still no one had given their opinion on what makes someone a GOAT. Nothing but bitching about whether Copernicus was Polish or German. I only used them as examples of possible greatest Poles.

Because including Any pope past 1861 in GOAT list is extremely retarded.

>Copernicus was German.
What the fuck are you even talking about?
