Our society has been utilized to treating any of them as dogmas of fresh religion for years. Resisting these besides is treated as a classical Orwellian "thought crime". If, in good technological companionship, individual says something contrary to these dogmas, everyone moves distant from him as if he had acted indecently.
The economic, social and civilizational state of Belarus has long been specified an unwritten dogma. In the Sejm and during technological conferences, erstwhile individual wants to express utmost disapproval, we hear invariably: "These are Belarusian standards" or "are we in Belarus?". One colleague, whom I have always envied with large intellect and cognition in the field of natural sciences, erstwhile stated during a friendly gathering at my home: “Balcerovich saved us from the destiny of Belarus”. As it turned out, it was never in Belarus, and the state of civilization of Belarus was for him a kind of synthetic a priori court.
It happens that I come from the area of Pińsk, I communicate in Belarusian, I have been in Belarus many times after both the russian withdrawals as during the Lukashenko government and I will not be taken to the fund of apriority courts. I would add that my grandpa was a friend of the Bishop of Christmas and was shot by the NKVD in a prison in Pinsk. Well, if after the Russian withdrawal Belarus was in fact in a state of terrible ruin, misery and social collapse and it seemed that Lukashenko would not truly rebuild the country from this ruin. erstwhile I was first in Belarus, the average pension was about 200 rubles or "niversaries" due to the fact that that's what the Belarusians called their currency, and that's what it cost a kilo of yellow cheese if it was even in the store.
In 2015, all the shops were full stocked, everything in Poland could be bought, and even more, the cities were rebuilt with large Pietism, fields sown and plowed, the rebuilt Radivilowski Nieże I Mir, the rebuilt Catholic churches and monasteries, including the seminary in Pinsk where we lived as guests. Of course, Lukashenko always played on 2 fronts, on the rule of "Lord God's candle and devil's hound" due to the fact that in the Brest fortress next to the renovated church the ghost russian бойцы from a stone scares from the town square and there is simply a figure of Lenin in the march. Łukaszenko sought a good relation with Poland, but was selected as a villain and even pushed into an alliance with Putin.
It was Poland who interfered unwarrantedly in the interior affairs of Belarus so батюшка returned and sent immigrants to us showed how easy destabilise the life of a abroad country. I'm not going to defend Lukashenko, I don't care if he's a wheelboy or an intellectual. I'm just curious in the facts. Above all, it is crucial that Belarusians are almost without exception very kind to Poles. Unlike the Ukrainians, many of whom are unkind. The explanation is simple. Ukrainians, in contrast to the good-hearted Belarusian or, in fact, the Poles, had their alternatively complex hierarchy of power. The almost absolute ruler was the Ataman (отаман). Although the Ataman was selected but the property of all chicken – buildings, horses, feed, food, weapons and money – was a common property managed by an Ataman called bat (father) who even organized meals. The dominance and power of Polish masters had the right not to respond to Ukrainians.
Anyway, relationship with Ukraine has become a dogma instilled in Poles like catechism and any doubts or reservations are treated as a "thought crime" . Commentators of the fresh secular religion, for example, informed us all that drones that visited Poland late came from Russia or Belarus. All doubts were forbidden. For example, about the scope of akin drones. Besides, батюшка or Łukaszenko made a gag to dogmatics by informing Polish services about possible drone attacks. This embarrassing fact is trying to discreetly silence everyone. Is Lukashenko a good man or a bad man, a friend or an enemy of Poland? The dogma says that it is the enemy, that relationship with Ukraine, or actually unlimited furry is our right condition and warrant of security.
Supporters of the like besides seem to have forgotten the past of planet War II erstwhile all guarantees held by Poland proved to be recycled and, as Krasicki says, “the dogs ate among their dear friends.” Our allies did not want to die for Gdansk. That's not to be surprised. We besides have the right to ask “whose war is this”? After all, the same question is asked to themselves by Ukrainians who massively avoid conscription due to the fact that they do not want to die for unclear interests of Ukrainian oligarchs. And we have a right not to want to die for Kiev. The planet is presently at war for the past, for history. For, as Orwell says, "He who rules the past, in this hands is the future; he who rules the present, in that hands is the past."
The powerful of this planet want to make a syncretic communicative in which we already have a non-best function written. The function of co-responsible for the Holocaust, the function of xenophobics and fascists, and at best the function of cannon meat. It should be made clear - there is no syncretic history, there is no anticipation to make it as there is no syncretic religion. Human interests are contradictory, and what is simply a triumph for any is simply a defeat. They understood this well already in 1555 by formulating the rule of “Cuius regio, eius religion” for the peace of Augsburg, meaning “whose country, this religion”.
In our 21st century, this rule should be enriched with the words "whose country is the past of it" and "whose country is the interests of it". Let's not get pushed into a meat grinder like a protracted Ukrainian war. Contrary to the visions of national messianism, Poland is not and was never the Christ of nations. And above all, let us not let ourselves to be prevented from reasoning and formulating our conclusions contrary to the attacking androns.
