Well said and sadly true. I even tried to broach this with Poles while living there but there were few minds open beyond what entered the ear canal. Their last election of a year ago was sketchy. A globalist new party akin to Macrons en Marche emerged out of nowhere months before, completely astroturfed to lure young people away from the nationalists to give the globalists their historical pawn back. Now that lispy retard Tusk is back in the driver seat. No elections are free and fair anymore.

Yet another tragedy unfolding for a country grown accustomed to them over the last few centuries.

"Poland is Not Yet Lost," so says its national anthem, but in all its tragic history, Poland has never faced an enemy as ruthless and evil as the globalists. They're coming for all of us.

The globalists are an old enemy they've faced before, I believe. Weall have, I guess, for a long time. The Treaty of Versailles implemented a Saturday Sabbath in Poland, if I remember correctly, which must have raised some eyebrows in Catholic Poland.

I was struck reading GC's piece about the prominent role played by propaganda and inflammatory rhetoric. I'll bet it was of the "let's you and him fight" variety.

When you wrote that phrase - let’s you and him fight - a couple of posts back on your stack, it was one of those truisms that is like the proverbial lightbulb moment. I’ve been using it ever since in comments and private face to face conversations.

And I picked it up years ago from Steve Sailer. It has wide applicability. The whole CRT thing, for example, is, at bottom, exactly that.

Democracy can probably work in small, homogeneous places deciding whether to repaint the bleachers at the high school, but it clearly has not worked for us. 58 standing ovations in an hour for the bloodiest war criminal on the planet? Stick a fork in it.

Can anyone say, Democracy Now aka NGO's. Kicked out of Russia I believe.
