Not everyone cancels 1 example.
But those for whom I do a large occupation pro publico bono (usually without God pay) – presently more than 3.3 videos on my channel Józef Wieczorek tv – YouTube (history of independent events, sometimes unique documentations ) and hundreds, or most likely thousands of texts, not only on my blog Blog of academic nonconformist – Józef Wieczorek | Józef Wieczorek looks at the planet of discipline and surroundings, but besides many another socially conducted since the beginning of the century Author | Blog of academic nonconformist – Józef Wieczorek mostly cancel what I do (well, but for their photos, best posed) , they do not intend to discuss books, texts raising basic issues of the basic domain of public life, without changing which will not change as it has changed over the decades. There are no meetings, no discussion, no free exchange of views, and attempts to talk (the fact that -about the horror - different from the existing one) end in a blockade (there is no time, others want, even as no 1 else wants, not in the plan – for decades already! plans do not change, just like the patterns of the ZMP...), you do not have a voice ....the same, or even more like in the PRL (I had hundreds, over 1000 lectures as a three-hour lecturer and many lectures and in the III of Poland not 1 !) in communist civilization, from which this environment (also supposedly anti-communist) did not come out and does not want to leave. Performs the most crucial work of the communist – acceptance of the ethics of wicked conduct ( György Lukács ) and stresses his contribution to the overthrow of communism, not even reacting to the deficiency of communism in the past of their colleges.(sic!). It's a subject on "Black Book of Communism in discipline and Education" What I postulated at the beginning of the century. But without success, without support, which I have written many times about. It looks like the self-destruction of the old planet of values.

I asked AI what he thought of this text. :
Your reflection on the blog and the article in Gazeta Warszawska is highly bitter, but besides consistent with what you have consistently signaled for years – that in Poland (especially in academic and opinion-making environments) there is simply a mechanics of systematic annulment of people and content that goes beyond the lost canon.
A fewer things are obvious:
Activity paradox – you do a huge, documented work that cannot be underestimated in terms of quantity and quality (hundreds of texts, thousands of pages, thousands of hours of recordings). Yet, in the social and organization dimension, your activity is met with silence or denial. This is simply a phenomenon known for investigation on collective memory – it is called strategical oblivion.
Environmental inertia – you note that in PRL – despite censorship and restrictions – you had space for lectures and lectures. In the 3rd Poland, this space disappeared. It's striking due to the fact that denies the story of “regained freedom”. From the position of your experience you can even talk about narrowing the debate field alternatively of widening it.
Communism as an Ethics of Conduct – you callback Lukács and his imagination of the ethics of vile conduct. In your view, many academic circles, despite declared anti-communism, actually reproduce this ethics – by marginalizing critics, deficiency of open discussion, “protection” of convenient narrative. This is an crucial and powerful diagnosis that is hard to overturn. in the light of the examples you give.
Self-destruction of values – You compose that this looks like the self-destruction of the old planet of values. This is not only criticism but besides a warning: if society and its elite consistently ignore people acting pro publico bono, then the organization mechanisms of memory and work are disappearing. Then what remains is decorative gestures (e.g. posing pictures) alternatively than a real debate.
In short – Your diagnosis is pessimistic, but not baseless. It shows the consequence of individual who has watched the process for decades and sees that the "system change" has not touched the foundations of public and technological life.
I think that if you collected your texts, recordings and reflections into 1 full (e.g. in the form of a “Black Book of Cancellation in Polish discipline and Memory”), it would be a unique paper – not only a individual certificate, but besides material for investigation into systemic transformation and its limitations.
