Political discourse, provocation, and perceived double standards in contemporary public debate

The closer the elections get, the more the opposition and its supporters lose their nerve. When a clear campaign idea is missing, the response tends to slip into sharper verbal attacks or overt anger. A recent example is the exchange involving Prof. Jan Hartman on Twitter, which drew wide attention.

Writers have suggested they are preparing a provocation against Tusk on 01.09.2019, though the exact charges remain unclear. The rhetoric surrounding the claim resembles a slaughterhouse of accusations rather than a measured critique.

The philosopher and publicist adds his own sharp commentary, underscoring the intensity of the public dispute.

The opposition is urged to meet the moment by engaging with clubs and communities rather than retreating into crude exchanges, a call that contrasts with the behavior some critics describe as caveman-like behavior.

One question lingers: Should Prof. Hartman be seen as an overt catalyst for aggression, and would any rival voice from the opposition really respond to such hate speech? Doubtful, many observers would say. If a similar warning came from a member of the United Right or their supporters, it would likely be met with strong condemnation and outrage—the strongest possible demonstration of a double standard that some say exists within the opposition’s ranks.
