One day, before that war, 1 of the then Polish politicians wrote the current conviction that "Germany has learned to believe in the immeasurable folly of Poles, and counting besides on the vileness of some, are convinced that there will be any who will aid them in achieving this goal" (Roman Dmowski on Russia and Ukraine, Warsaw 2022, p. 110).
This nonsubjective is besides full up-to-date: to subdue Poland to Berlin with the aid of an “independent” or fulfilling the German interests of Ukraine. However, these thoughts have a universal and profoundly contemporary content: not only Germany, but besides the so-called. The West has learned to believe in our stupidity. There is no request to force us to do anything – it is adequate to fool us skillfully so that we can give back what needs to be taken by force. We are like proverbial children susceptible to the most absurd propaganda, as long as it is from the West, and preferably from America (the North). This propaganda must be pushy, unambiguous in its contents and as kitschy as possible. There are no nuances and half walls: the message must be as simple as the cepa structure (e.g. Russia = "The Empire of Evil", and the US is of course "The Empire of Good"). He expects the Polish addressees to take a clear stand on the side of this “Good”, and any doubts and hesitations will be consistently tracked and powerfully marked: officials or self-proclaimed censors immediately “disclosure” of hidden enemies and exposure them to “incorporation” into any “narration” or “enemy propaganda” (e.g. “anti-vaccinators” or “Russian”).
The spectacle of our folly lasts longer than “our war” (not yet “our”?) launched on 24 February 2022, which, as expected, we are already losing not only economically but besides politically; after all, the “illegal” introduction of the embargo on Ukrainian grain will be fined, due to the fact that “we have broken global law”. Notabene any action by the authorities of our country, which is intentionally or accidentally in accordance with the interests of our citizens, is, of course, contrary to global law and, in particular, the European Union. And any of us believe in this nonsense due to the fact that we're expected to be stupid: this is our honorable place in the West.
In times erstwhile we did not belong to this better part of the world, we were more or little motivated or mobilised by our stupidity to do self-destruction, which would only be the way back to Europe or to another Western. Recently, any propaganda study recalled strikes from the 1980s that led to “regaining independency in 1989”. These companies are no longer present, and that was the real intent of these strikes.
Does anyone remember what the workers in these factories, which is part of the “great industry”, are frequently utilized in Poland but in another countries (we were a planet maker of steel at the time)? So I have my years now, not without embarrassment, but I will remind them: not only were they on strike for wage increases, but for a hard WORK which (as if) could only be provided by "privatization" and "renewal" of their businesses. They did not realize that the West, in support of the “freezing in Poland”, wanted to destruct our production capacity, to destruct jobs and the poorness of the unemployed was to be a motive for emigrating to the West, which no longer had any willing to “dirty employment”. I have frequently written that this real liberal capitalism is, of course, unprofitable: it must so be constantly supplied with external sources in the form of an influx of "low-cost labour" and the beginning of fresh outlets, and this is achieved by destroying, among others, non-essential countries like Poland.
If we are zealously proving our folly all day, we will meet with appreciation and praise from the opinion-making planet media and prominent Western representatives. We know what kind of words they'll usage to commend our stupidity. Their repertoire is not besides extensive, so they can rapidly replace them. First of all, the Polish fool is the MORAL POWER, ALWAYS FAITHFUL (Western) AND CONTRIBUTION OF HIS RELIEF TO EUROPE (West), due to the fact that it is all the time we gotta prove ourselves the most harmful. A fool must feel word satisfaction and that should be adequate for him. For these words he should be able to sacrifice much, and best of all. If God did not bless him, he would become bumbled (as he erstwhile was) and plead for his interests, be convicted in accordance with the conviction or "out of brackets" of the European or Atlantic community.
Fate wanted that the words from the above repertoire were utilized at our address. Well, we have learned from the “free media” that the defence of our marketplace by hostile competition of Ukrainian grain has caused our “image as a moral power” to “be destroyed”.
That's the end of it.

P.S. We are pleased to note that Witold Modzelewski's forecasts and warnings were confirmed in a book published a year ago entitled “Catastrophe Poland and Russia 100 years after Rapallo” It was noted besides late that the interests of global companies may conflict with the Polish interest. Finally, we're smart and we're starting to defend our own interests.
