Sobczak, Łukasz Stanek, Last Generation parents compose a letter to their parents

Before we invited a individual from the Last Generation to cooperate with the publicist, we looked closely at the effects of their activism and felt that the effectiveness and performance of the organization was impressive. It is unusual that the first loud action of the collective took place in March – due to the fact that 1 can think that this friendly squad has always been with us! Cultural, primary, well-read, well-educated and ready to risk, about which Agata Bielińska wrote beautifully in another Valentine's context.

In 2025 it will be even louder about them, and we will support them in the fight, in spite of the climate denilists and the Prime Minister of the large Anesthesiologist.

My name is Chaplain, Red is Bad: Nobody talks as beautifully about patriotism as bandits and thieves

Beautiful was the minute erstwhile the afraid Jas took the level on the future of Polish science, and the Polish Academy of Sciences recommended this sounding voice a sad and sober article. But against the calumny, coming from a well-known editor The chapels of dark net alleys, the consciousness and sobriety of judgement were characterized by all his texts in fresh months – since analysis of the engagement of Polish politicians in the service of the Church After a column about the owners of Red is Bad wanted by the prosecutor, in which our militant publicist, who had already been protesting under 1 of the “patriotic” shops, could not say “I told you so” for the first time.

Bartosz Treder, Like the PiS government, like the president of Gdynia to the predecessor? [talking]

Although the electoral marathon launched on October 15, 2023 put organization structures on its feet, which sometimes inactive seem to remainder after a succession of successes and failures, the self-government and Euro-parliamentary elections remained a small in the shadow of the former, parliamentary ones. But only on appearance – this is confirmed by the Grand Press award for the writer of the year, which Andrzej Andrysiak, author of the Political Criticism, won this yearLocations. Politics and journalism do not be only at the national level, and Warsaw centricism has long been passe.

We have appreciated the function of regional and local media for years and have worked with authors and authors from all over Poland, and the evidence of this is, among others, the texts by Bartek Treder about Gdynia, about its changes, problems and authorities, which you always read with large interest. Aleksandra Kosiorek, the fresh president of Gdynia, is simply a peculiarly interesting interviewer for us – besides as 1 of the leaders of the Women's Strike, organizing demonstrations against a decision exacerbating abortion law. Remember her plan for the city.

James Safranski, Paradigm 25 years ago: “Fallout”, but it's a game

The spectrum of themes raised by Cuba Szafranski in this year's lyrics for Political Criticism is impressive, and speaking somewhat little pathetically – I simply appreciate the ability of our photographer, photograph editor and publicist to combine seemingly distant themes.

I added my 3 cents myself. for text about OasisI sincerely encourage you to read the text on The desertion of Grandpa Józek from Budziszyn, nonsense of past and instrumentalisation of historical memory by all political forces from PiS to Spanish phalangists or a summary of the visit to the monument “Rozez Volyńska” with a stay at the European Institute of Applied Buddhism.

In the most widely read diptychus dedicated Fallout – in a series and a groovy version – Kuba writes, among others, that in the series “certain moral issues have been updated to the present, which is simply a delight, due to the fact that I like the culture of woke and I cheer for it” – and how not to sign here?

Tomasz Żukowski, Papal Mythology. How Catholicism Became the Key to Polishness

Tomasz Żukowski has been writing for us for respective months 2 excellent cycles – 1 dedicated Socialistic Films, whose revolutionary content has not yet been noticed by viewers and criticism, alternatively a moralizing and automated motion of condemnation, the second – the cruelty of Catholic rites and their exclusion from ‘essential’.

Other comments relating to current events show how tools developed on the occasion of historical, philological and philosophical analyses can be utilized to describe current ones disputes over museum exhibitions or confusion around PiS presidential candidate.

Your attention was peculiarly attracted by the crucial text coming from the large Novena, anti-democratic message of John Paul II – which besides fits perfectly into analyses of Marcin Kościelniak from Political Criticism Abortion and Democracy. We are very pleased with specified a companion-erude in the fight for the laicization of Poland.

Katarzyna Przyborska, Five Members remained in the Together Party. Good.

Three electoral defeats Together in just a fewer months and an increasingly tense atmosphere in the organization demanded change – and specified came, although their form was hard to foretell after the June Euro elections.

Just before the expected cut-off Together with the actions of the Tusk government from the party, a group of parliamentarians and councillors akin to Magdalena Biejat, who will fight for the presidency in the coming months – most likely facing individual from their erstwhile party. This means that 10 years after the elections, which gave the then left-wing hope to keep it on the surface of the subsidy, Together is simply a completely different organization – but is that wrong?

Katarzyna Przyborska, who in fresh months has besides consistently written about rights of migrants, civil defence is Polish-Ukrainian relations.

Patricia Wieczorkiewicz, "Back to Black" – powdered self-destruct by Amy Winehouse

In 2024, Patrycja and I did not always agree with the assessment of individual aspects of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, we felt differently. The execution of Brian Thompson, we watched various films, listened to different music and at the end of the day, it did not hinder us in health, happiness and common knowing to bring our editorial and publishing-strategic cooperation to this day – which is an uplifting denial that discord is ruining. Our disagreement usually has beneficial effects for readers who can familiarise themselves with the different colors of the left-wing spectrum, due to the fact that our “our” side is usually far from unanimous.

I am besides glad that the lyrics of my co-editor greatly resonated among the audiences and caused real changes – due to the fact that Patrycja Wieczorkiewicz is 1 of those ambassadors of the boys' affairs that contributed the most to its perception by policymakers. I think for another articles as well text about transvestigators, or Sunday detectives looking for transs among Olympic players, talks with Darius Discord on Antinatalism or discuss series Reindeer you will be able to return long without worrying about the failure of news. And from the most widely read text of Patricia in fresh months, that is, reviews Back to Black. Amy Winehouse's History, you will find out why, despite the artist's not easy biography, it is worth watching a movie with a wink.

Jakub Majmurek, Relegated: It is impossible to compose the past of Silesia in isolation from the past of Germany [talk]

Until recently, it seemed to me that as an admirer of the communicative about the outskirts of a retired miner of the show Holy War I know about the traditions and past of advanced Silesia almost everything – how incorrect I was! I besides complained about the market’s “fashion” on folk stories, which is increasingly resulting in actual discoveries. My convictions were shaken by the Publishing home of Political Critics, publishing the folk past of "the first region within the borders of the present Poland affected by the breath of modernization and industrialization", written by the undisputed authority in this field, and at the same time the author, who simply writes perfectly – Dariusz Zalega.

A journalist, who speaks of himself "from the upbringing of Poles, from the heart of Silesians, out of reason undecided" tells Jakub Majmurek that, if he doubts the historical existence of the Silesian people, present in advanced Silesia we can talk about a national creative moment.

In addition to a conversation showing the past of this region, at the end of the year check out another interviews celebrated for political analyses of editor Majmurek – with Prof. Rafał Chwedoruk on the Sahra Wagenknecht Movement and the situation in Germany, with Max Cegielski and Janek Simon o relations between PRL and Ghana in the 1960s. Or Dr. Richard Szarfenberg about his a loud study on Polish poverty.

Hidden crisis of power [new study by Sierakowski and Sadura]

It's a tradition that authors investigation Population There are large emotions among politicians and politicians. The authors present their results in the media during a circumstantial tour, and prepared under the auspices of the Institute of Political Criticism reports are among the most widely read articles on our website throughout the year.

Television or short-lived fresh media have their limitations and are not conducive to nuance, so it is worth taking a long time to bite into these interviews, polls and polls and their comprehensive discussion – this cannot be reduced to a single clickbait on the Confederate road after 20%, the chances of Rafal Trzaskowski winning the presidential election or who the Poles would most like to see in prison.

Miguel Farias, What won't the mindfulness coaches tell you? That meditation can harm

In these troubled times, to support a phrase justifying all kinds of decisions and choices, seeking peace and discovering are not a thing of a thing – but it is worth knowing about possible side effects.

Paulina Januszewska, Brain on the ceiling. Why is The Curse the best show of all time?

I very much appreciate all of Nathan Fielder's current series and Paulina Januszewski's analysis, which from many pop culture oven bread ate – just remind this year's text about Charla XCX, her album Brother and accompanying it Movement or fresh movie review Wicked.

That's why I'm not amazed the essay on Fielder's latest work, The Curse, watched by Paulisha by the prism Poor creatures Jorgosa Lantimosa has raised specified interest – it is simply a cultural-political writing that we especially care about in our weekend editions, showing that books, records, films and series are not just for escapism, but they aid best realize the bizarre, fragmented and nonlinear planet in which we live.

Paulina Siegień, The inhabitants of the border areas in Podlasie must face displacement [talk with Krutul]

For the last fewer years, war has necessarily dominated texts dealing with the east problems of Paulina Siegień, our author Critical East Newsletter and co-author of the podcast Eastern Block.

The war, which Paulina sees more and more virtually from the threshold of her own home in Podlasie – thanks to the Shield of the East, besides called popularly I've had Tusk, which our author Many times she criticized in her papers Political criticism.

Vice-Voice of Podlasie Paweł Krutul guests at of us, unfortunately, less, I'm waiting for him to come back like Catholics for Santa Claus. This time, the Left politician began to prepare the Podlasie residents for upcoming displacements, which the electorate did not precisely like. What I confirmed with my field research, having late played at a wedding in Białowieża and learning about Paulina's articles among the local community.

Arthur Troost, Concrete block in Defilad Square is the best thing that has happened to Warsaw in fresh years

I just love these moments erstwhile the full of Poland lives in contemporary art, architecture, aesthetic exultations. In 2023, this was the case erstwhile Van Gogh was showered with soup, including – after the beginning of the fresh office of the Museum of Modern Art in Warsaw.

The discussion about the disfigured center of the block was already underway, and Artur Troost, our political expert French, Italian more European But besides history, doctrine and Janusz Walus, from the beginning he stood on the side of the dulling emotions and saying that The fresh MSN is okay. And if you think otherwise, believe that this is the best thing that happened to Warsaw – and halt complaining about the tired prices of butter and the properties of panicks.

Piotr Wójcik, Mr. Robert, why are you embarrassing journalism?

After the PiS organization said goodbye to the public media, the right-wing niche rapidly began to fill fresh or dyed projects specified as tv Republic or Channel Zero. About the another being A real mecca for the boy-minded prophets Piotr Wójcik wrote before his start – and of course he was not incorrect at all.

Our publicist returned to the stars of the Propisian channel Krzysztof Stanowski respective more times, and received the most applause for Robert Mazurek's explanation, which this year became celebrated among another programs that we know nothing about the causes of the Smolensk disaster. How did anyone inactive take him seriously? Read the most popular text of the year on the Political Critics website.
