In the title of this text refers to the well-known (former) and crucial (to-day) book by Alexander Bocheński, with this work analyzing the problem of stupidity "in Poland" alternatively than "Polish" (it is not the same). The generation that read (often repeatedly) this book is slow dying out. It is besides reasonable to fishy that the actual Polish political and media elites did not flout reading it, and that the citation of any passages of it would be considered by authoritative and self-proclaimed censors to be “involved in prokremlian narratives” due to the fact that the author of this book unfortunately did not erstwhile declare himself “the servant of the Ukrainian people” and, which is peculiarly reprehensible, did not express a faithful tribute to “world leadership”. That is why specified books are tolerated in public libraries, but the time will come for “Atlantic cleaning”.
As long as you can (?) resonate a small bit, I will effort to add a tiny modern annex to the past of our, truly Polish stupidity. The origin of inspiration is, of course, the contemporary past of the 3rd Republic, which is the wonderful period of our independency and (totally) belonging to the West. But I will begin by defining the key concept: I realize stupidity in an unexplored, even conventional way: all voluntary action and the abandonment of our fellow countrymen is worthy of this name: it is simply a fool who harms Poles and Poland without coercion, due to the fact that only then it is our Polish stupidity. Of course, the name does not deserve to be foreign: very frequently hostile actions towards us are in their vital interest, and from their point of view they deserve to be called "rational" and even "wise": after all, their actions to our detriment are mostly beneficial to them (nothing original).
Our foolishness, which is an crucial part of our large spiritual heritage, most likely has strong grounds: it is due to the centuries-old tradition and attachment to the request for harm, or is the consequence of foolishness in the execution of both our closer and further neighbours, and especially (strategic and unstrategic) allies. It can besides be the fruit of spontaneous behaviours derived from our wider, frequently profoundly Polish (patriotic) initiative. So you can divide stupidity into innocent (we were unconsciously and effectively stupidized or didn't know that we were doing something stupid) or guilty, and especially deliberate: we wanted to be stupid and deliberately carry out this crucial mission.
One of the most crucial and irreparable textbook folly of modern times was the deliberate deep impoverishment of most citizens (all?) of our country, the demolition of their sources of earnings, the elimination of jobs in fact in order to force them "economically" into economical emigration. Where? Of course, to the West. 30 years ago, no 1 here thought that the most crucial good for rich Western countries was adults, willing to work people who would work for inexpensive money in his favour. due to the fact that the West was already in a hopeless demographic depression, and its citizens did not express excessive desire to work. In order for individual to tyre them, it was essential to teardrop apart any neighbouring country and compression out everything they could, especially a fewer million people. First, they had to be impoverished and deprived of any prospects in their country. Our foolishness was (and is) unreflective submission and even support for various "radical free marketplace reforms" and to repeat to this day that they were our "success". At that time, we lost about 2 million of the most active, childless and willing people who would not come back to us. We are deceived that we have low unemployment today: it is the other – we do not have a occupation for the people who have been exiled by the poorness of the people; in their place after 30 years we bring the gastarbeiters from Asia and Africa, which is most likely the crown of our stupidity.
We request to know the most crucial laws of past that govern our stupidity: the longer we affirm this state, the more our desire to undertake further and more courageous ventures on this ground increases. We do not even let the thought that what is our historical acquis was a series of harm to most citizens (and our country) and we survived mainly due to the weakness or incompetence of stupid pests.
A fresh example of stupidity is the counter-edance of the pests, who until late called themselves "ministers of the Ukrainian people". It is known from the beginning that the interests of the state governed by the post of the flag elite are, of course, contrary to the good of Poland and Poles not only in the agricultural marketplace – we produce small and expensively, they are much and cheaply. This version of Kiev's regulation glorifies the memory of the perpetrators of the genocide of Polish citizens during planet War II, referring to the tradition of the alleged Ukrainian People's Republic of 1918, whose borders covered an crucial part of the present east Poland (including the full Podlasie) after the Brest Peace. Will the victorious Kiev appeal after the war for “their lands”? After all, it is in our interest to defend the Polish interest, that is, to keep this country safe: it should not lose, but it should not win its (not our) war with Russia, due to the fact that it will repeat Afghanistan's syndrome: since armed with sneakers and Kalashnikov young people gave a solid beating to 2 superpowers, which each time had to flee in terror, no 1 will impose their interests on them. They will regulation for a very long time (not only in Kabul). It will be akin with the Green Troubadours if, thanks to the support of the “all free world” and the inability of Russia, their kleptocracy wins in this war. Then we will surely lose this war, especially with a 2 million Ukrainian diaspora under our roof. It is in our interest to have peace in the east without winners and to say without a uncertainty deep weakening of both fighting parties (without illusions). If we have set ourselves up for many years as an implacable and fierce enemy of Russia, and the Green Trubadur will not change their demands towards Poland (because they will not change), then there is only 1 affirmative script for us.
Of course, we did not gotta face specified a dramatic situation, but, as always, we were driven by the overriding request for harm, which has already permanently entered our foolishness. The most pathetic are those pests who present lament “the ingratitude of the Ukrainians” who have taken everything that we have given them for free, and now they want more: they are guided by a reasonably simple “philosophy”: erstwhile naive people give, it is essential to take and "not bloom."
For almost 2 years, I have argued that the resignations of Poles imposed on us by local “ministers” of the Ukrainian people are of no importance to the result of this war, which will end with “world leadership” erstwhile it will want to. And we will be "swindled and betrayed" (this time not only by the West). But it will be “The 5th Betrayal of the West.”
