Not only ideas, but words have consequences. They impose the imagination of reality and judgement not only moral, but besides those would seem more balanced, due to the fact that political.
Their influence is based on human comfort, on the request to realize reality, but without putting effort into its actual understanding, sometimes there is besides a deficiency of strength to defy the force of a group, environment, media, or own emotions. Modern technologies and being constantly online increase the impact of these factors. The word or concept, or even the explanation of a locket, is specified a "conspiracy theory" only that it is more cunning, due to the fact that it can trap even people in another matters reasoning independently. This is the function in the assessment of the Polish reality of the ominous "PO-PiS duopoly", under which the governments of the 2 parties and the dominant leaders of them have been understood for 20 years. Each has its media, its sponsors, its iron electorates, its abroad protectors. Each feeds on the existence of an opponent who, like the Orwellian Goldstein, allows to mobilize voters, keep discipline in organization ranks, while on many essential issues their actions are similar.
However, not the same, primarily due to the fact that they have different electorates and different abroad protectors. The rooting of the request for tribal division in human psychology makes this model more than an invention of modern drunkards. Its manifestations can already be found in ancient times, in the mediate Ages, in divisions to the left and right, which evoke protests of alleged perfect people, due to the fact that the sides are not left or wrongly right enough. Poland was not an exception for 2 decades, but only 1 of many of its examples, with our overseas hegemon at the head. So it is appropriate to make people afraid about the common good, and at the same time humiliated by the fact that they have only "smaller evils" to choose from, and that is the choice Poles will besides face this time in the second circular of elections.
First, 1 must renounce the illusion of believing that bad politicians regulation a good nation. Those who have come into contact with the life of any institution know that there is no fundamental difference between them, apart from the scale in which they operate. specified humility towards reality will let us to renounce the dreams of the alleged awakening of the nation, it is more real to appear burdened with akin flaws of fresh forces on the right and possibly on the left in subsequent parliamentary elections. And so far, it is better to rephrase the conventional question: “on the PiS or on the PO?” and ask them as follows: What will happen after the election if this 1 wins, and what if that one? It's the basis of political thinking.
The next questions should be: how the choice will affect the issue of bringing Poland into the war in Ukraine, the link with the European Union with its climate and, consequently, our wallets and the temperature in our homes, how it will affect the education and upbringing of our children, how it will affect the freedom of speech and freedom of public debate, how it will affect the preservation of currency and cash, how it will affect..., here let us exchange another crucial for all case and let us be to pain egoists. Let's research which side of the old duopol closer to the another candidates and how the inevitable political fair after the first circular is going on. It is only at the end that we ask the most hard questions: Is it better than the duo and the likely fresh hand in the parliamentary elections that the monopoly will come to in the event of a win by Rafał Trzaskowski, and above all whether we hatred the Law and Justices more or whether we love Poland more.
