The fall of Polish intelligent. From Miłosz and Giedroycia to Campus Polska and the tribe of 8 stars

nlad.pl 10 months ago

A crowd of youth led by the ministers Nitras and the Trap to cheerly shout "fuck the PiS" is only the end of a wider process. The alleged 3rd salon of the Polish Republic for years, in fact for decades, has degraded both morally and – and possibly above all – intellectually. erstwhile the liberal establishment was given a speech by specified characters as Jerzy Giedroyc, Czesław Miłosz, Fr Józef Tischner or even Adam Michnik. Regardless of the assessment of their political choices, they were large names, large figures. Today, their place was replaced by Marta Lempart and her insignificant epigons. How did this happen?

Intelligence plays a disproportionate function in Polish politics and is given disproportionate attention. Polish politics for years was simply an intelligent policy. This applies not only to the next metamorphosis of the Democratic Union, but actually to our full scene. This is evident even in the case of PiS or especially Kaczyński himself (intelligent black sheep of the 3rd Republic of Poland), but besides the Left and Confederacy. The least intelligent organization of the 3rd organization of the Polish Republic was most likely Self-defense, which simply based its full existence on the image of the organization throwing manure into the street.

Eight Star Time

"Oh, how good it is to hear the right-wing quirk after the usage of the "J*bać PiS", wrote MP Anna Sobolak. erstwhile did this crap get so common? It seems that the landmark was not even so much the judgement of the Constitutional Court on abortion, but the second triumph of the Law and Justice in 2019. That's erstwhile the home intelligence started to break something, and the increasingly embarrassing stunts began to applaud it. It was just before the presidential election that the slogan "fuck the PiS" was revealed for the first time, in which the full centrelev programme is summarized.

This slogan was distributed in the mediate of the election silence by the twelve establishments: Tomasz Lisa, Wojciech Sadurski, Renata Grochal, Wojciech Czuchnowski, Władysław Frasyniuk, Dariusz Sztotkowski, Agnieszka Pomaska, Cezary Tomczyk and many others. This frustration and gradual stoking has been progressing for years. I don't know if it makes sense to go back to Marty Lempart and her linguistic equilibristy or who posed with her for joint photos. Just as I do not know whether it is worth reminding the articles of university lecturers who publically defended the slogan “fuck off” due to the fact that it was meant to express “the doctrine of the fresh generation”.

“Why am I not a part of shit? possibly individual would care about me if I threw a brick. And yet we are the salt of the earth. This land," he says in Swine Day always frustrated, compplexed and egoistic Adaś Miauczyński. It is surely a quote which full reflects the state of spirit of Polish elites. erstwhile we look at sociological studies, we will see that this state of increasing frustration penetrates into the electorate and present it is liberals that are the most aggressive group in society. For example, in 2019, the Center for investigation on Prejudice at the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Warsaw (a tiny conservative unit) published a study proving that it is, broadly speaking, liberal-left voters who dehumanize the another side of the dispute much more than the right.

The electors of the intelligent and progressive parties throughout the III Republic were convinced that they disagree diametrically from their conservative compatriots – they are progressive, resourceful and hardworking. Of course, this has frequently been the case, but in the end it was a one-dimensional image – pleasant for winners of systemic transformation in a simple way explaining complex social phenomena. The consequence was that for decades the liberal electorate had been strengthened in the belief that the values and parties they support were objective better than competitive, conservative proposals. erstwhile they found out they were number after 2015, they were shocked. And then the anger came.

Intelligence Hegemony

Robert Krasowski, in his book on Kaczyński, misses most frequently with his bravado elements, but it should be admitted that he pointed out rather well that what shaped the worldview of the president of the Law and Justice, was the assessment of the primacy of intelligence in politics. Kaczyński was not hated due to the fact that he destroyed liberal holiness and ran around fighting the regulation of law, just due to the fact that he had the ambition and ability to become the right-wing leader of opinion. Krasowski correctly notes that Kaczyński was not an opponent of subsequent politicians of the 3rd Poland, but Adam Michnik. Chief Electoral Newspapers He exercised the regulation of souls, said what was moral, what was wrong; he pointed out the way and explained the world. And the same position he earned over the years Kaczyński. The president of PiS is not just the head of the party, he creates the full worldview – neither Tusk, nor Kwasniewski, nor Miller had specified ambitions. All politicians received the imagination of the planet (either from Brussels or Moscow), Kaczyński formed his own imagination and effectively imposed it on millions of Poles. The celebrated is Louis Dorn's anecdote that by creating a PC, Kaczyński commissioned public opinion polls to come up with what support the centre, moderately right-wing intelligence organization can number on. The studies showed a consequence at statistical mistake level. It was only then that Kaczyński decided to return towards the masses, towards the victims of Balcerowicz, towards the liberal intelligence excluded, towards the revolt towards the post-communist elites. He changed the recipient, but his ambitions remained unchanged.

Let us leave Kaczyński and Krasowski, due to the fact that we will find more examples confirming the intelligent dimension of Polish policy. Over a decade ago the media announced a photograph of Deputy Prime Minister Waldemar Pawlak, who in the Sejm is read in Political Theology Carl Schmitt, and rather recently, a fewer years ago, bombastic entry by Rafał Trzaskowski about Rafal Trzaskowski praising Rafał Trzaskowski (under the pretext of celebrating the memory of Bronisław Geremek). There are dozens of specified examples – a politician who speaks fluent English is simply a delight, a politician who speaks any another language is simply a real sensation. Yet nobody in France cares if president Macron speaks German, as the Germans whistle at whether Chancellor Scholz speaks Italian or Spanish. No 1 average cares.

But the problem is simply a small deeper. Politicians look closely at the polls, but they read even more carefully the headlines of the most crucial portals and stripes on TVN24. If Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz could gain a subjective attitude, he would not let himself be pushed into the function of a platformer junior partner. However, the leader of the PSL is mostly indoctrinated by TVN's worldview and can no longer mentally stand up to the salon. Therefore, any theories concerning the alliance of PSL and PiS are missed. The current leader of the people is not capable of specified volts.

Smart Death

The detonation of the cesspool on the side of “Polish intelligence”, which we have seen for respective years, makes us wonder if there is even a figure of Polish intelligence. After all, the minute erstwhile the Polish science, politics and culture prostrate themselves in front of a vulgar female throwing meat to the right and left was just a minute of culmination of a wider process of dwarfing elites. It is not even about the fact that lempartism-nitrasism colonized Polish elites, and that is why, for example, Andrzej Seweryn speaks a language where – let us repeat – Andrzej Lepper's strongest statements sound like balm to his ears.

Modern Polish intelligence grew in abnormal conditions. It grew in an authoritarian state under a abroad power. It grew in a country that was not curious in any another relation with citizens than the full submission of the people. Polish intelligence, surviving under these abnormal conditions, took on the work to store the national identity and transfer the heritage to subsequent generations, which came to her so easy that she was armed with a long, long-standing tradition of opposition to state authorities.

This was besides covered by immense complexes towards the West, which pushed the native elites into the positions of Berlin's junior partner, Paris or Brussels. Our elites could not think alone, constantly focusing on abroad centers. It is not only the European Union that has become an oracle that cannot be raised. The attitude of the elite to the native past confirms this – that is why attempts are made to present Polish invaders as modernisation forces whose actions brought the dark Polish people into modernity.

On Tusk's belt

Another blow came from the least expected side – from Donald Tusk. Tusk, yes, has tapped into an environment identified with intelligence, but have these people always impressed him? I don't callback any case of him changing his head due to the fact that the elite utilized their moral authority to convince him to do something. On the contrary, he was the 1 who subjugated Polish intellectuals and de facto forced them to play the function of his zagons.

If 2 decades ago Adam Michnik told politicians what was right and wrong, present Donald Tusk shows intelligent people where they belong.

If you don't like it, they can always go to Kaczyński, right? For decades, the intelligent had a printed skepticism about partying. In his nature, there was a certain ironic distance, which allowed a fair, rational debate. present the intelligent must repeat what the organization office will command. The virtue of moderation is something completely unknown to contemporary Polish elites. Reason holding in check emotion should be the foundation, and it became exotic.

I am not saying that everyone on the side, so let's put it this way, progressive-intelligent is the intellectual parobek Marty Lempart – that would be a slanting and untrue statement. However, intelligence as a certain group has degenerated, and with it the thought of elite Poland itself, Polish people “at any level”. The fact that at Rafał Trzaskowski's event, the flower of progressive youth while cheering politicians PO happily throws meat is only a point of the full long process of dwarfing the Polish intelligent.
