The PiS repeated the communicative about the manufacture of contempt
In the PiS narrative, an crucial component is the alleged manufacture of contempt, or organised action, aimed at discrediting a individual or thought and lowering its position in social assessment. Of course, Jarosław Kaczyński's organization created pro-government media towards itself and put on a hatred that was constantly aimed at democratic opposition until the election, but let us not forget that "Gazeta Wyborcza" is not "holy".
"Gazeta Wyborcza" over the years has frequently treated PiS voters as "moher berets", people who are not light, but complex, out of aspiration, full of thirst for revenge on elites. That rhetoric damaged the PO 8 years ago. But contrary to appearances, even though the democratic opposition defeated the Law and Justice in fresh elections, the language stigmatizing the electorate centered towards Kaczyński was sometimes overly antagonistic and even aggressive.
“The small Reds”
Let us remind that Jarosław Bratkiewicz's text in “Gazeta Wyborcza” echoed widely in the Polish public space. The publisher presented the situation in a disdainful way during the period of the regulation of the Law and Justice, identifying the denominations of the ruling organization as "a malopolad of the Red".
It was a dehumanizing language, 1 that would not be ashamed of a publicist utilizing a number of autocratic regimes, trampling on freedom and democracy.
"Creatures of fangs, steam and furry with anger"
Here is another passage of Bratkiewicz's text:
‘On October 15, the Polish Law and Justice went back 1 step, 2 steps. But it does. Honest fangs, steam and furry with anger’.
Is that the language to be utilized in mature, average democracy? It seems absolutely not, from the words of the writer sympathetic to the democratic opposition beats contempt for political opponents who are not opponents, but the worst enemies in the world. Thus, the author of this text is criticized and resorted to the inexplicable “normal” hatred that truly offends many readers.
‘That's mean. Scrubbed with same - esteem and contempt for others. How can you compose about people that they are actually subhumans??” – Jacek Gądek wrote in consequence to this pashquil from Gazeta.pl portal, which is subject to the same conditions as “Gazeta Wyborcza”, Agora publishing house.
Michnik about the brainwashing of PiS voters
Even the long-term editor-in-chief of “Gazeta Wyborcza” Adam Michnik was tempted a fewer months ago to utter a contemptuous message about the PiS electorate:
"Of course, these writers, the writer's captors will not see, they are already trained, they have brainwashing, or massacred brain. They don't think anymore, they just give mantras‘.
And now the question of how “Gazeta Wyborcza” wants to conduct this dialog with the right, since conservative voters surely remember specified statements as mentioned above and could be offended by subsequent verbal attacks from the publicists of “Electoral”.
