We are talking about specified as him "in old age he described, a pity for the man". He utilized to be a bard of ‘lefts’, a friend of Kuronia, with a sober, critical knowing of patriotism, skeptical and profoundly rooted in universalism of values – and this is what remained in it until today, besides in ‘right times’, which can be read about even in a large interview in my opinion "The love I am doomed to” in 2014. Well, he's 82, in a wheelchair. He was late publically seen under a prison in Radom where he spoke of Kamiński as being a political prisoner of conscience.
Dementia? There's not much point to her. Rather, it is the evolution of the state of consciousness, resulting from small, seemingly insignificant choices, possibly 1 or respective of which, even powerfully extended over time, prove to be a "point without return". I powerfully say that John Krzysztof Kelus remained the same, incredibly decent and erstwhile you request a brave man, whom people of my generation and respective neighbors knew and loved for decades. And yet it became not only the idol of the far right – it sailed itself to the positions of the ultra-right. What's he doing there? Yeah, he's inactive there for the same reason. He's a good man. And definitely not stupid. It would be an perfect "deficit commodity" due to the fact that we feel this deficit powerfully whenever we want to find a decent and intelligent writer. Kelus isn't just intelligent. He is, or at least he can be smart. And he's a writer. Treasure!
The desire to realize the “other side” seems naive, if not a fishy of “symetism” or simply betrayal. We respond to it “not worth”, due to the fact that it is scum, or “it is impossible”, due to the fact that it is wild. At the same time, we consider calls for compromise immediately and in this context we say "these are 2 different worlds, there is no compromise here." "These are the enemies of civilization" – so frequently we think, as if the enemy could not be understood and as if there was no value in this understanding. It is simply a false image and at the same time a denial of the existence of the planet of any values – although the second is, I fear very much, present completely incomprehensible.
It would surely seem to everyone that this belief of the axiological gap between us and them is the most primal and basic definition of "symmetry". Why?! Yeah, let's mention to the faster understandable and more celebrated case of Mark Jurk and his breakup with politics. In 2007, Marek Jurek was the talker of the Sejm. After rejecting the draft amendment of the Constitution on "the protection of conceived life", he resigned from his function, resigned from the Law and Justices, abandoned all powers, which meant an immediate but inevitable political death for him. He did so – without a shadow of a uncertainty – “for an idea”, which he truly believed in. Marek Jurek categorically said about abortion and parliamentary voting on this issue that "ethical principles are not voted on". That is precisely what feminist activists present say. Their wording reads "human rights are not voted out"—and besides stems from deep and sincere convictions. Although at the same time all groups of influences and not rather sincere in the intentions of people who like to pursuit the bunny than to catch him and who live from the fact that the abortion conflict continues, ignites and is inactive unresolved. Talk about the substance and explain to yourself the fundamental meanings, fundamental values and intentions would take a long time. This is simply a separate subject, but let us at least note this 1 of many examples that clearly shows that the situation IS SIMETRICAL more frequently than we would like to, and at the most amazing moments. With that in mind, let's go back to Kelus.
In the interview mentioned here (I truly urge it) he said, among others:
So could you defend your homeland or not?
In a good case, it's like I'm defining it in my own soul. For a good cause.
Is the situation in which state existence is at stake or the defence of borders right?
First of all, I couldn't get anyone to do anything, that's where it starts. I'd just have a private dilemma to settle. I'd call it that. A private dilemma to solve.
...
So erstwhile the Homeland demands something from us, it's a private dilemma to solve. You don't believe in the state's top-down requirements?
Let me rephrase. First of all, I don't believe, and second of all, my acquainted and very superficial cognition of past tells me that most people who had no choice but to fight for their homeland. They were recruited into the army, and desertion frequently equaled suicide. Do not let the state, for God's sake, tell you that the full society fought against Germany during the war. This is the world, just the world. ...
What worries me most is that we may fall victim to collective reasoning and in the name of our homeland do something vile, something genuinely vile. No 1 taught us to adhere to the rules. ...
And then he explained that it was about raising
A man who will be able to defy what is the top threat: that any authority, chosen by us or imposed, will give an order or will let us do something vile. Then we would have easy freed our conscience from the ballast, saying that we had obeyed the command or that everyone had done so. Or a fewer another things you always say. That scares me the most.
This is my world. No wonder, among another things, that Kelus' songs shaped me to any extent. Not me. Kelusa's ellipse of influence was small, but the force of fire was enormous. He could neither sing nor play guitar – however, it only helped him gain attention and commitment, colored with any kind of compassion, but nevertheless strong, excellently compatible with his patos, who immediately profaned himself, a kitsch intertwining beautiful poetry. But how does a man who says specified things as we read them here fall into something he describes as the greatest, most terrifying threat? How did he succumb to authority, as he said, imposed or chosen, being smitten and subject to vile or pathetic things? Yeah, he's inactive the same Kelus who wrote the “Far of hedgehogs”. Listen. With the “right-wing Internet”, hard.
Besides, that's cute, isn't it? As always with Kelus, infantilisms mix with wisdom, even clichés do not scare, everyone has a second bottom and antithesis, are not inexpensive like Coelho. If Dylan got the Nobel, Kelus deserved the awards. This evidence of attempts to keep appropriate measures in black and white reality, due to the fact that this song is besides about this, was created in the apogee of the carnival of “Solidarity”. It's very special. How can a man with specified experience and sensitivity find a place for himself present without protest? It's a rhetorical question, which is clear to anyone who remembers Kelus' times. There are inactive "photos from Lombrozo's album" in the newspapers, apart from everything else. It is not interesting that Kelus does not find himself in modern times, but as he found himself in times just past, erstwhile he received the highest distinctions from Kaczyński and Duda, erstwhile he was pleased to give interviews to “young rebels” from far-right newspapers. Is that where the photos were published, not from the scrapbook of mischievous criminals?
In fact, the origin of Kelus' seemingly astonishing evolution lies in his old texts, if you look closely at them – besides in this 1 about hedgehogs. However, let us take another of his “hits”, the song “Popierosy Belamor – Channel”. Here it will be easier to identify figures that appeared in the disgusting rhetoric of the PiS in the set. Again “right-wing Internet”. It's hard again.
The origin of 1 of the writing threads of the illness can be seen here. It's a very distinctive attitude. The “Levas” from Germany were then a descriptive category. Indeed in those days they came to aid in the “Polish revolution” mainly they. Not any social politician from the SPD, but anarchists, Trotskyists, various “real communists”. good people. Indeed, Solzhenitsyn was an highly conservative Greaterrus. He was it for the lefties, others, for apparent reasons, shruged their arms at his "strangeness" – the horror of this ideology was only late known in the attack on Ukraine. Which hates Odyssey Solzenicina, the crimes of the camp and the large Stalinist buildings – it does not invalidate anything. But in Kelus this reflection – the large Russian nature of Solzenicin most of us at the time did not know it, Kelus almost surely did not know it – so in him the “left” became an ethical category, they had to start to cast tolerance for various Auschwitzes, it was adequate time for not only the leftist but besides Germany to gain value. The same Kelus dedicated this quoted interview to Otto Schimk, an Austrian deserter from Wehrmacht, 1 of the patrons of the WiP movement considered a symbol of opposition to conscience. But “left from Germany” has become a category of value for him as well. That's when. Presenting people – people of good will – as "two lefties, Heintz and Willi" is simply a disgusting, written customized today, isn't it? "It's not people, it's ideology." Wasn't that disgusting at the time? No, it wasn't.
About Belomors we listened to moved, we sang this song most likely at all vodka, it was a bit of a hit, and a bit of an anthem – as with the works of bards. We have learned that we are important, that our suffering is more real than others, that we have learned that they are and that we are, from the gentle like lamb of the hedgehog gatherer and the beekeepers learned contempt. Besides, increasing bees Kelus despised the planet he deliberately abandoned.
I remember my own "Heintz". Lefty. He utilized to come to me at the Wroclaw Kozans, where I lived. We were going for a walk due to the fact that the home wasn't allowed. So we walked in a close judaic cemetery in Pilczyce. Completely ruined, but inactive active. erstwhile it happened there at the fresh graves, you had a view of the graves by a fewer years older, and you knew very well what this fresh grave was about to become. Rotated gravestones, broken into a tiny poppy by a central hit of the choice – otherwise it could not have happened. “Heintz” looked at it and asked “all these Nazis?”. No, Hieintz, no Nazis, look – this is the 70s tombstone, the Nazis are innocent in this case. Besides, look further, the mausoleum of Jews who died in the First War. The stars of David and the full judaic symbolism—all intact. Oh, this is simply a black paint stain, it looks fresh. Yes, it is besides ruined, but but for this paint – in a natural way. “Communists do it?” my “Heintz” asks. Dude, you're out of your fucking mind, there's almost no communists here, there's just a regime. Look at that block over there, that's where the SBs live, they lead the kids to the same kindergarten I'm taking mine to. There are communists among them, yes. Few. No, Heintz, no enemy ideology has destroyed these graves with a pickaxe. It is “we – the Polish Nation”. Look, there's a garden. You know what that is? See the stone benches? They're everywhere. Made of matzeves. By average people. no of them are ashamed of it. Do you understand? Heintz didn't understand. It's beyond his grasp. “You have witnessed the Holocaust...” The sight was a origin of suffering incomparably greater than the consciousness of German crimes of Nazism.
My suffering Heintz, in turn, I asked why the German Greens, pacifists, anarchists and another likes of him left, organizing the large anti-war Easter Marches annually, demanding disarmament and protesters against all war, never protested against the russian war in Afghanistan. In response, Heintz showed me pictures of brave, admired mujahidins, among whom 1 of them stands at a pile of cut human ears reaching to his knees. The Mujahedinis did not kill anyone in that very village. With their ears cut off, they punished those fathers who sent their children to russian school. My Heintz so well remembered Auschwitz and its meaning – inactive present, contemporary horror. I learned about the utmost conservatism of Solzenicin from Heintz, not just heard. These conversations were important. And more crucial than the reason Heintz came and why we left home to avoid being bugged. The most crucial threads of SB could listen.
Kelus most likely didn't see specified photos of Afghanistan heroes. And possibly he never saw how much of the outraged leftist opinions were simply true. Including the 1 about Solzhenican and the 1 about Afghan mujahideen. Kelus's next election, his yet another discordant with old friends, can be read in interviews, including book interviews. It shows pride in his uncompromisingness and aversion to alleged attempts to “relativize”. Michnik, trying to realize communists and even communist criminals, began to become an enemy of Kelus, the enemy of Poland – according to Kelus he inactive the same individualistic and fatalist concept of patriotism. Reading can definitely identify this "point without return". any resentment that determined that Kelus' planet had become likewise black and white. An easy point to exceed in a situation "abo us or them". But to begin with, it's worth starting with my own memories and these fewer links, the reminders I put here. 1 of these sources can be considered conservative, but Kelus presents progressive views. another sources are legal. We can only resent that. The separation of 2 worlds is besides built by us. Not only “they”.
It is not hard to realize Kelus' “writing” on an intellectual (if I may say so) and on an emotional level. At the level of sensitivity and very deep basic values. possibly writerism is part of his “pragmatic patriotism”, his sober constatation that a homeland does not choose to be either loyal to it or get out of it. “We, the Polish Nation”, is mostly the nation of the Law and Justice. But that's not all it is. Old men are hard to find in modern times. I know a lot about this. A longing for the actual values known from the past leads to a deficiency of modern values. Or denying them. The reconstruction of the grandfather's head is not a hard task. Not all grandpa is an idiot. Not all grandpa is simply a bastard. This besides applies to the literate grandfathers. Kelus is simply a writer's grandpa just due to the fact that he's the Kelus we know from the wonderful songs.
Belamor eta simple papiros
kak Philip Morris – eta simple cigariet
On the puti on the girdle so grisly
s tusk.
Well, it's no longer...
