    It’s pretty balsy to publicly show such blatant antisemitism when your very career is dependant on public opinion. Only it isn’t because hate against others, be it jew, muslim or gay, is what gets you the votes these days. Times are tough, so instead of looking to better ourselves and our situations, it’s easier to blame others and punish them for our faults. Poland is a christian country (all of europe is in essence) and this is technically the most christian thing you can do.

      the sad thing is his rotten-brain voters support this incident

      Edit: and launched a fundraiser for his legal defense now

      Edit: the fundraisers are down

      he was already expelled from this session of parliament

      Poland is a christian country (all of europe is in essence) and this is technically the most christian thing you can do.

      poland is also the most rapidly secularizing country in the world by some measures, and that motherfucker in question is catholic fundamentalist. even his own party condemned him, and i won’t be surprised if he gets stripped of immunity over that (but everyone will forget about that by then)

        Poland is rapidly secularizing? i dunno, but if it is it still has a very very far way to go. Also as far as i am aware communist Poland was quite secular, but saw an extremely strong ressurgence of fundamentalist catholicism with the downfall of the communist government.
