Piskorski: Sectarianism with Bulava

“God, keep me from my friends, I can handle my enemies myself,” said the prominent French statesman, Cardinal Armand Jean Richelieu. The countersystem environments are on the margins today, not even in the defense, but in the deep underground.

People who are capable of independent reasoning are increasingly affected by the fresh orwell kind of repression. It would seem that this is an excellent chance to reject past personal, ambitious, business disputes. But not in Poland, where human smallness combined with the vast limits of ego leads any to search an opponent, not in the all-powerful camp of liberal globalism, but in the immediate surroundings.

At a time erstwhile the destiny of the continued existence of the nation and the endurance of the Polish state are at stake, erstwhile an aggressive hegemonic power causes a bloody war just behind our city and subsequent civilian liberties are thrown into the garbage of history, any are easy forced against others in matters of secondary truth. The most emotional is, of course, the loudest disputes in the field of widely understood ethics or religion. Most frequently putting them into public debate is simply a cover-up to cover the request to discuss things that are truly first-class and decisive about our future. Why discuss the ownership and national assets erstwhile you can talk about teaching religion in schools? Why pay attention to the periphery of Europe, to which we belong geographically and economically, if it is easier to peroritate the attitude towards sexual minorities? It is besides easier than discussing the inactive real threat of war, to teardrop the throat off at shouting who can and who has no right to be a actual Polish patriot. Who's the trustee of the national camp, the 1 real. Examples can be multiplied indefinitely. Opponents of thinking, a globalistic ruling class with satisfaction, wipes their hands, seeing how the "autochtoni" in the next country can be smitten against each another and all their energy is devoted to throwing foam at the mouth of fresh colleagues or friends.

Each reader most likely knows this recurring scenario. We think that everyone should follow the principles of certain logic, rationality, pragmatism (even if he thinks only in terms of individual interest). Nothing more wrong. A Pole needs conflict. Like a fish in water, he feels in the fervor of barking, sinceritying his fangs and biting his legs. Of course, it is easier to eat on burning branches in the neighbour's neighbour's garden than on a large abroad company that poisons the environment standing close the plant. The company can get besides strong a kick. At least the neighbor's gonna be barking at us.

Someone will say that these are all the results of the activities of the impressions, plotting against us. That we're being argued consciously by any sinister, secretive decision centers. You don't request them. We can share and harass each another without external assistance or inspiration. This is most likely due to the fact that all another 1 of us wears a marshall bulawa in his backpack; he feels special, dreams about the function of the future leader of the dreamy, free, sovereign Poland. And he is convinced that it is he who has not only a imagination of the future, the right strategy and tactics, but besides a magnetic charisma that the crowds will follow. Most often, however, it turns out that even the closest household and neighbors will not follow her. But well... Worse for practice.

Further parties formed by self-proclaimed “saviors” of the nation about dubious biography are formed. There's another tectonic divided in the backyard sandbox. It is worth maintaining simple common sense in this situation and simply doing what is best done. First of all, to be honest in hard times towards ourselves and our own people. But besides gain and spread cognition of what is most crucial today; effort to explain the planet so that, under favorable circumstances, it can be changed rationally and thoughtfully.
