I'm not old yet, but I'm certain the kid isn't. It is simply a bizarre phase of life, in which it does not seem yet – cut in a blanket, sipping a tube – to live only in the past, but the present seems to alienate and be infantile, while the future begins to transcend itself to callback it. In these mediate years of life, man takes his first steps into the planet of melancholy and performs revisions to the beloved artifacts of the years of youth, whether it's emblematic for the then era in culture, or simply chosen individually, according to individual experiences and tastes.
In my case, a successful revision is erstwhile I silence these modern devil gadgets (i.e. notifications on the smartphone) and speech for the thousandth time in the memorable speech of the MTV Unplugged Nirvany concert. erstwhile I play this release of the 1995 British hit list, erstwhile Blur won with Oasis “the conflict of England”. erstwhile I am re-excited with the 1997 Champions League final, due to the fact that “my” club Borussia Dortmund reaches for the most valuable football trophy, or I watch the contemporary about this match a expression 1 race, in which the first on the finish goes into his Ferrari Michael Schumacher, with his guarding ariergard Eddie Irvine behind his back. It is yet the 2 hours in which I let Master Quentin Tarantino to take me on a thousandth journey, whose name is "Pulp Fiction", and which will never get bored, though known by heart. It's all minute I come across a peripety from Beverly Hills 90210, or Parker Lewis turning the life of his advanced school chief into hell (in those days, teenage attitudes inactive met my understanding).
Ahh. Everything's gone. erstwhile the review ends, you gotta face reality. And the reality is that Kurt Cobain has been dead for 3 decades, Michael Schumacher is not much better, and Borussia Dortmund has never won the Champions League again (although in the finals twice later it reached the alleged gold underpants). Blur come back erstwhile a decade to play a fewer concerts, but they are besides busy making politics, cheese and cider or worse music in another constellations. The BH 90210 cast begins to die out, and (apparently) for combing or dressing present as Parker Lewis or Brandon Walsh teens can get from colleagues in their teeth. Tarantino announces the last film, and then... they've seen it so much.
Modern realities are not only pop culture that lowers flights and sports, in which the winners are not those I would like them to win. For nearly a decade now, the reality has besides been a policy in which the forces of average and liberal democracy have been bringing together banners and slats to give the field to utmost right-wing extremists and populists. Country by country, from election to election. The decision in the another direction, as in the US in 2020 and in Poland in 2023, begins to be treated as an evenement and a happy coincidence, simply contrary to the logic of our times, where the trend is going sharply the another way. America already knows that Biden's 4 years 2021-25 were unique to modern realities, not Trump's 2017-21 term. Trump's tenure is average now.
Does Poland have a chance to compose its political past differently, in isolation from these trends? Can we be like that stone in the midst of the waves of the enraged sea? I don't know. So far I am very pleased to see the existence and operation of a government based in parliament on the coalition of classical and average parties: liberal, Chadetic, social democratic, folk and liberal-conservative. I watch the enemies of democracy conflict with the toothless, flee to fascism Hungarians before justice, pray to Elon Musk, who aroused them with the admiration of the Roman salute, or are already conducting only “private” investigations. I let Master Donald Tusk to tell me about the restoration of the regulation of law and the protection of citizens' rights, I drown in the words of decent and reasonable politicians serving as ministers.
And then I get a scary thought. Isn't this 1 of my revisions in the realities of the past years? Won't this end shortly and face the future where Cobain is dead, Dortmund is not winning, Tarantino is retired, Tusk is behind bars, and Ziobro is in power?
