There is no better way to create a loyal army of executors of the dumbest and most pointless or harmful ideas than by elevating the mediocre ones.
The more primitive the government is, the less inhibitions it has, the more brutal and insolent it is. The primitivism of the power of the current parliamentary majority and its elected government does not arise directly from ignorance, ignorance or incompetence, but also from them. First of all, it is the result of the intoxication of impunity. At home, no one will realistically force them to maintain even a minimum of political culture, and abroad they can count on full leniency and even support – in the institutions of the European Union, in individual capitals and in government Joe Biden, and especially in the US Embassy in Warsaw.
We have a government of three B’s: lawlessness, brutality and insolence. In fact, they can do anything, because those who can bring them to order not only do not want to do it, but also take sadistic pleasure in speaking out about Law and Justice and its rule. They have always regarded this party and these governments as an unacceptable disturbance in the world of liberal murderism, so the crackdown on them is leading them into masochistic spasms and ecstasy.
For years, attempts were made from outside to destroy the PiS government, but there was no adequate force within Poland. Well organised, because it was already quite demoralised. That’s why they chose Donald Tusk, prepared him for some kind of landing (like the German general staff of a certain Lenin) and guaranteed aid and impunity. It was in this context that all the primitivism of these people emerged. They are not sufficiently immersed in a culture without political, moral or symbolic violence to suppress their vulgar instincts. That’s why these instincts came to the fore.
Donald Tusk, who has always been something of a street smarts, has become a cynical, ruthless and endlessly hypocritical manipulator of social emotions. It was not difficult for him, because many interest groups and elites established in the Third Polish Republic suffered from being excluded from the valley and the obvious decline in the social hierarchy. Tusk’s message resonated with them, despite its lack of any sophistication. They were already prepared for this primitiveness, because they had a lot of anger and a sense of humiliation. Because of this degradation, because they evoked pity rather than admiration.
There is no better way to create a loyal army of executors of even the dumbest and most pointless or harmful ideas than to promote perhaps not so much mediocrity (although that was important), but completely average people. And blowing up those who considered themselves special. And then it was gone.
The poor and biased ombudsman, Adam Bodnar, felt the power of Soviet commissars, such as Nikolai Krylenko. It was the Chairman of the Supreme Court of the USSR, then the Prosecutor General of the RSFSR, then the People’s Commissar of Justice of the RSFSR and later of the USSR. In addition, he attended high school in Lublin, where his father was sent and where he learned Polish.
A man with the mentality of the head of a department in some provincial office, Marcin Kierwiński, was given power over the police and other uniformed services. And he felt like Franciszek Jóźwiak, the first commander of the Civil Militia, deputy minister of the security service, member of the politburo and head of party control, previously a member of the Bolshevik party, even though he fought with them in 1920 as a soldier of the Polish army.
An average left-wing shouter, Barbara Nowacka, felt the power of Wanda Wasilewska and became Minister of Education, or rather of the ideological education front. The daughter of a socialist friend of Józef Piłsudski, Wasilewska received at least a decent education in Polish studies (at the Jagiellonian University) and even a doctorate, before she began to praise Soviet methods of bringing young people to heaven. Then she communicated, praised the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, joined the Bolsheviks, became a colonel in the Red Army and had direct access to Stalin. And finally, it created the Union of Polish Patriots, the Polish Committee of National Liberation and the 1st Infantry Division. Tadeusz Kościuszko, who brought the liberation of Poland, that is, from Soviet slavery. She herself did not return to Poland.
A man with the qualifications of a wedding host, with an ego inflated to the limit in the TVN television show Szymon Hołownia, had barely started as chairman of the Sejm, when he already looked like Czesław Wycech, the chairman of the Sejm from ZSL in the years 1957-1971. Not the one from the time of the Second World War, when Wycech was director of the Ministry of Education and Culture in the government delegation for Poland, but that of the National Unity Front, chairman of the Main Board of the Polish-Soviet Union. Friendship association.
You could multiply the parallel biographies of Donald Tusk’s chosen ones and those brought to power by coalition calculations, but that would be pointless. Tusk tries to bring out the worst in them, but they still find reserves within themselves. He probably does this so he doesn’t feel alone in this intellectual and moral wasteland (I wonder if the European Commission also orders intellectual wastelands to be set aside). And those interested zealously join the reign of the three Bs: lawlessness, brutality and insolence. And they have the spirit of climbers who compensate for any shortcomings with zeal. As a result, we have the worst government of the Third Polish Republic, which exercises power in the worst possible way.
