There's a scene in Master and Margaret, erstwhile an unfortunate conferancer tries to reconstruct real magic at Variété during a screening of black magic, but the crowd does not want, buzzes, and erstwhile asked what to do with annoying spoiling fun, he cries out: rip his head off. no of the politicians want to be this spoiling fun—and that may seem reasonable.
The notion of "healthy reason" has late taken delight in Donald Trump, announcing that this is what he will be doing, carrying out his revolution. Recently, according to common sense, he predicted what caused the crash at Reagan Airport erstwhile the Black Hawk chopper collided with the aircraft. The common sense that Donald Trump has, and others do not, as he explained, tell him that it is the responsibility of equality and inclusion policy (DEI – Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).
The same common sense requires him to retreat America from the Paris climate agreement and from the planet wellness Organization, to deport migrants, to demarcate 2 sexes, and to declare a trade war on his allies.
Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg was besides liable for his wellness by paying tribute to Trump. In 2021, common sense made him block Trump's hateful content on Facebook after Twitter and YouTube did so.
The slogan “healthy sense” is besides a career in Europe. Donald Tusk utilized it recently, explaining first in the European Parliament and then in the Oslo conference, that there is no request to bother with the Green Deal, climate or emissions accounting – due to the fact that it is not a popular subject, it will not be won by elections, due to the fact that with costly energy we will not be competitive and we will lose, and then no 1 will care about the environment. The words of Tusk were already picked up by the Minister of the Interior Tomasz Siemoniak. "Yes, of course, everyone wants to have clean air" – the minister mocks and follows the example of disinformationists and negationists confuses smog with the heating of the Earth's climate.
Common sense was besides the basis for government acceptance resolutions guaranteeing immunity pursued by the global Criminal Court to Benjamin Netanyahu, if he were to be found in Poland and is now besides Rafal Trzaskowski's favourite phrase. The presidential candidate motivates him to collect 800 plus those Ukrainian exile children whose parents do not pay taxes in Poland. “It’s common sense and individual in Poland had to say it” – declares Trzaskowski.
And that's most likely what common sense tells Adam Bodnar's prosecutor pursue life-saving activists at the border, pro-abortion activists and Last Generation.
Let's get this straight. California burns, the planet beats another heat record, but common sense tells politicians to say: climate will not be saved due to the fact that it is unpopular. After the Law and Justice Governments, the regulation of law lies on its feet, but common sense whispers to politicians – they could, it is you too, to hell with the regulation of law. The NFZ lacks money, but common sense says you request to lower contributions.
Also less and less people to work, but common sense makes us talk about reducing the retirement age and at the same time turning the spiral of fear and hatred towards migrants. 800 plus this is simply a program to combat kid poorness and not the criterion of paying taxes here, but common sense does not see the problem of not drawing children from Ukraine out of poverty, especially if they are already poor, due to the fact that their parents do not work professionally. Although the Ukrainian contribution to Polish GDP is as much as we spend on discipline and the employment rate of Ukrainians and Ukrainians in Poland exceeds the employment rate of Poles and Poles by 20 percent points (78 to 58 percent). There's already a bill.
On a wave
You can see with your bare eye that the gasoline is lan over the fire. So what real problem do politicians solve?
None. They solve fictitious issues-passwords that have been tampered with by disinformation portals criticizing the Green Deal (which from the very beginning hit the interests of Russia most strongly), European solidarity (Krzysztof Bosak has been calling for the closure of the border with Germany, and the AFD will do so from its side) and the embarrassing political will of human rights – who does not adhere to them, we besides know well for years.
But these fictitious problems fall on susceptible ground. Commonly repeated lies (as those about alleged social for Ukrainians) begin to live their lives. As a result, according to the investigation quoted by Michał Fedorowicz in his interview with Karolina Lewickia: 65% of comments on the network support taking distant the Ukrainian children 800 plus, 30 is against, and “the movement was awaited” looking at anti-Ukrainian sentiments.
The Green Deal, on the another hand, "is like a parrot in Monty Pyton's sketch," is hated and nobody defends it," Fedorovich said. likewise with migrants who, according to Sadura and Sierakowski's research, do not even want left-wing voters.
Therefore, common sense is not to dig with a horse, not to undertake the problem of persuading and educating in an unfavorable environment, erstwhile algorithms alternatively of facts advance cigarettes and scandals, but to flow on a wave of emotions and crowd desires. Even if it is simply a tsunami wave that has a good chance to wipe us all out.
That's what's happening. Although we have tools for real research, to build strategies that can respond to real challenges: civilization, science, technology, culture, law – we put them aside and go to the games. The first witnesses of the collapse of this civilization are introduced to the arena. What to do with them? – the emperor asks the crowd. Let the lions teardrop them apart – the crowd howls and the emperor lets the lions go, due to the fact that he will not let anyone who spoils the people's humour. Rome falls down, but for a while longer a crucial part of its citizens will have fun, track down gender-witches, defend the conventional family, resent vaccines, or convince that this climate is fake, and besides, as oranges grow here, that's cool.
Most
This is not the minute I wrote that Donald Tusk is Like Django, He sacrifices a slave without moving his eyelid, but all in the name of the greater good. all motion of consent to populist nonsense legitimizes this nonsense and drives their supporters. Today, a year and a half since the run before the parliamentary elections, we are in a completely different reality than then.
W Germany just cracked a cordon of sanitation around the AFD. German politicians, following the Polish, suspend the right to asylum and call for the closure of borders. In 2023 it was unthinkable. Now he's in the mainstream.
We're not only afraid of migrants, we're scaring them, we're letting ourselves talk about germs and rape women and cows – now We let them shoot.. Solidarity with Ukraine breaks. Politicians of all options declared that Ukraine's presence in the global Western structures would depend on its history. With the request to take distant the Ukrainian children 800 plus not only solidarity, but besides average human compassion, and Rafał Trzaskowski speaks the language of the Confederate. There are fewer voices of opposition, due to the fact that the KO voters are silent, although in late 2023 they were outraged by the PiS's attack on migrants. I'm certain they have common sense, too.
But the scale is important. A tiny percent of non-vaccinated people do not request to endanger the full population – therefore, anti-vaccinators, while few, can afford to be irrational. But erstwhile most are not vaccinated, the illness will return.
Now you can see that most have stopped reasoning rationally. Thanks to the persistent repetition that the time will come for women's rights, for partnerships too, and the climate is not yet, due to the fact that it is not time to regret roses erstwhile we gotta fight populism – civilization's key themes have been swept distant from public debate.
Even if we lower energy prices and if we abandon the green transition, we start the economy a small bit, it is not known whether it will be the EU economy or the rival tiny states. due to the fact that the concept of energy transformation and Green Deal was not only an thought to counter the effects of climate disaster, but besides a civilization task uniting the Union. Like the emancipation of women, like the rights of LGBT people and another minorities. Like another enlightened values, contrary to common sense.
