Clearly, this is more crucial in social media. The degree of stupidity, aggression, language errors, vulgarisms, racism or conspiracy delusions frequently increases straight in proportion to the number of flags on the profile, the cover of the Warsaw Uprising and the Cursed Soldiers, the ink with the emblem of Poland, mixed with spiritual content. specified actions are not only insulting national symbols. The attitudes of specified people straight affect Poland.
This phenomenon has been increasing for years. The current authorities besides drive this phenomenon through their counter-Polish actions. It is hard to give a more clear example, erstwhile authorities referring to national values bring abroad troops to Poland. Despite specified apparent action against Poland, 1 of the main enemies during the independency March remains the communists – the imaginary enemy.
Many movements usage patriotism for inexpensive political plays. alternatively of real solutions that improve the situation of Poles, 1 can give them a flag to wave. alternatively of economical achievements which glorify Poland, 1 can give "national pride". alternatively of working on the Nation and yourself, 1 can direct the request to act on hostility towards an imaginary enemy, specified as Russia.
This can be seen perfectly on the example of the right-wing national movement, which is increasing increasingly, even though it does not offer anything meaningful to Poland and Poles. It offers only empty, supposedly patriotic gestures, passwords and symbols. It does not present any solutions that would actually strengthen the independency and sovereignty of Poland and improve the existence of Poles. On the independency March there is no visible content hitting e.g. abroad finance, and alternatively there are any pointless references to God. Nevertheless, the right-wing national movement attracts various people disappointed by the current economical and material situation.
As a result, the meaning of national symbols is diminished, patriotism turned upside down and turned against Poland. Patriotism should not consist solely of putting up a flag at the National independency Day and utilizing national symbols. Patriotism is simply a broader concept, and starts with mundane cases, specified as correct usage of Polish language, care about individual culture, no aggression. Patriotism is even cleaning up poop after your dog, due to the fact that in this way it cares about the cleanliness of Poland. It is besides a patriotic work to inoculate against CoViD-19 due to the fact that the nation must be healthy to be strong. specified an knowing of nationalism, as correct as possible, does not fit in the minds of right-wing patriots.
However, even specified basic things are not covered by patriots, let alone the perception of specified threats to Homeland as capitalism, imperialism, Western corporations, or financial corporations. No wonder that no 1 can link the migration crisis to Poland's earlier attack on the mediate East countries or the effort to overthrow the legitimate authorities of Belarus, with our Slavic brothers. On the 1 hand, there are bare speech about patriotism, and on the other, borderers with the White Eagle on
hats drive families with children somewhere in the forest as part of pushing illegal immigrants, disabling the Polish uniform. This is not what the defence of Poland is expected to do, but it will not be handled by any participants of the independency March.
Without grasping the depth of patriotism at all, it is not noticed that the most national Poland is People's Poland: with a nationalized industry, a deficiency of abroad capital, a well-functioning socialised state. “Poland was large for Edward Gierek” and this size was visible. The participation in the planet economy was much larger than today, we have had many world-class achievements. We exported many Polish products: Polish device tools were sold in the United States, Polish companies built roads and plants in the mediate East, Polish shipyards were valued by shipowners from all over the world, tractors made from screws in Poland worked on respective continents. But even in a purely national sense it is People's Poland, as a consequence of post-war turmoil, it has become a single national country, for the first time in the past of the Polish State. The main streets of the cities on the Recovered Lands were called the names of large Polish witches or kings, in each school hall there was a state coat of arms, taught respect for national symbols. Silesian, Wielkopolska and Warsaw insurgents were worshipped. The conflict of Grunwald was made a symbol, and its 650 anniversary was celebrated throughout Poland. The Millennium of the Polish State was even more celebrated, with the largest Millennium Defiled in Polish past – which is significant, as the symbolic beginning of the Polish State recognizing the events of the year 966. It was in People's Poland that much was said about service, work, learning – for Poland, for the Homeland, for the Community. Although we were not full sovereign, abroad troops were stationed in Poland, yet we were incomparably more independent and patriotic than in the country to which the right seeks.
National symbols should culminate in what we truly do for Homeland and Nation. Today, where are we putting the National independency Day flags? On
a scratched tenement home on a block 100 times the size of a rag
advertising, on the wall of the mall selling most of the goods
made in the Far East or at the mounting gate
a abroad company. The average man has small influence on specified things, but the right-wing national movements besides have no solutions to the measurement of actual patriotism.
Instead of the depth of patriotism, we have vain chauvinism. Empty passwords and symbols replace real action for the Homeland. They are a convenient excuse for doing something for the Homeland. And then again, he calls himself the social networking site, pulls up in a common place, leaves crap in the park, spits on the sidewalk, crosses the allowed velocity of the car. It is in this that specified expected patriotism is harmful, which ignores the real care for the Homeland already at the level of simple activities of everyday life.
Unfortunately, the havoc that the right is spreading with its vain patriotism,
We will feel for a long time. The next generation grows, which does not
will realize what patriotism is in its depth.
