The Western press is writing about us again, and the right is giving in to the pedagogy of shame

The pedagogy of shame is 1 of those concepts the authorship of which is the subject of dispute, but he surely distributed them Jarosław Kaczyńskiwho very frequently appeal to him. The president of the Law and Justice Office, otherwise rightly, considers the pedagogy of shame as a phenomenon ruining Polish sense of value and Polish public debate. There are plenty of examples of pedagogy of shame, it is actually adequate to scope for any edition of “Gazeta Wyborcza” and we will find something of this genre. However, it seems that the most popular form disciplining Poles is what the Western press wrote.

For years, leftist and liberal-leftist environments have appealed to “the shame of the full world” due to the fact that 1 or the another writer wrote something unfavorable about Poland. Apart from the fact that most of these “publications” were begotten in Poland or by Polish correspondents in the West, criticism of the politics of individual states in the abroad press is simply a common phenomenon. This means that there is no anticipation that the French, German, British or American press will not print critical texts about Poland, which yet lies in the centre of Europe and takes place on a geopolitical map. The point is that these obviouss did not penetrate the consciousness of Poles over the years, due to the fact that all critical article or message from outside Poland was commonly presented as “a shame for Poles”.

It is fair to admit that specified practices have been and are mainly applied by the most widely understood centreleft, but as in political life, the point of view changes with the seat point. PiS, as the largest opposition right-wing organization completely lost its power and stopped noticing that it was entering the shoes of its top enemies. First, politicians of the Law and Justice have noticed the superiority of global law over Polish law erstwhile it comes to Immunity of Marcin Romanowski, then announced a number of “donos to Poland” to global institutions, in connection with the “Tusk regime”. On both they came out like Zabłocki on soap and were immediately checked to the ground.

Did this painful lesson origin the right reaction? It seems that it has more to the voters of the PiS than the politicians of this party, but unfortunately only part. What makes you say that? If only a day after a long weekend celebrated right-wing representatives are excited about any article, and in the Niche American two-week National Revier, just due to the fact that they “go there in Tusk”, there is inactive half poverty. Worse that the same leaders of the right-wing opinion, first they behave like pedagogues of shame, and second they live another story of external power, which will set Polish affairs on the right tracks. It is all the more sad that they did not even read precisely what is written and in whose interests, but would be satisfied with the convenient paragraph:

However, Poland is different where the government of the erstwhile EU Council president and the current Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, seeks not tools, but weapons — spears to throw at his abroad friends and knives to insert into his critics in the country.

Meanwhile, the farther into the forest, the more trees and unpleasant surprises, provided you read carefully and with understanding:

Israel is 1 of Poland's key partners outside NATO and vice versa, but strong ties cannot last erstwhile 1 of America's allies announces plans to arrest the other's leaders due to fabricated allegations of the ICC

Paradox of all this right-wing excitement about the arrangement of Polish cases by the administration Donald Trump The reason is that the American two-weeks passed through the pedagogy of shame on what fresh US administration has expectations of “Polish partners”. And this is not good news for Poland, due to the fact that it clearly shows that nothing changes. We are to follow the instructions politely and humbly service the right “soyants”. Where there is simply a reason for euphoria, especially on the right, no 1 can reasonably point it out.

We don't believe in anyone, we don't believe in anything! We look at facts and draw conclusions!
