Maybe it is connected somehow to something that I've started to notice very strongly recently: hatred of Poles toward Poland. I must say that this is starting to be very noticeable, even started to observe this kind of behavior in my close family. For example, today's WhatsApp message that I received from a friend (a Pole). We were discussing Ukraine, and I wanted to subtly challenge his position about Polish nationalist organizations and Azov (which he thinks are the same, never mind modern weapons and NATO training):
I can understand the propaganda part that the media are feeding him (and he's too lazy to search for information by himself, a MENSA member), but how he came to the conclusion that Poles are killing Europeans? And that wasn't the first message of his alluding to the fact that Poland is destroying Europe.
The other time I was discussing the startup scene in Poland, and that there is a "glass ceiling" regarding lack of financing and business connections compared to the rest of Europe (I was a shareholder in two startups and also knew the local startup scene). My interlocutors (with zero experience in the field) told me, that I'm totally wrong, and it is the problem of the "Polish mentality", nothing more. I can go on and on, but the thing is that you can observe a passive-aggressive hatred towards Poland and everything that is Polish in a large part of the population. This became very visible after a few years of the Law and Justice party's "divide and conquer" ruling strategy. Has anybody noticed something similar? Maybe that's why Duda is fine with lying - he simply contempts his voters.
I think generating self-hatred in local populations is a key tactic of psychopaths all over the world.
In Canada, for instance, it has become quite popular to hate our country. This hatred comes from culturally-induced guilt - whether guilt over the historical genocide of the Natives, or 'green' guilt over the fact that there is still an oil and gas industry here, or a beef industry. Having been through University, I was indoctrinated in this mindset, so I know it well, and how widespread it is in certain areas and populations.
Even something like the Canadian Trucker convoy - a joy for many across the world - is a reason for resentment. A friend of mine who has a rebellious streak, and also was against the jabs, said to me recently that the convoy had 'too many Canadian flags' for his liking.
Anything can be turned on its head, and amplified into negativity. For instance, in the case of Poland, perhaps a reasonable critique of the society or the government or history, which is all well and good, is slowly but surely turned into 'everything is rotten, we are a plague'.
As Jordan Peterson has said, in his description of culture being the Father and nature being the Mother, there is in our world at this time an over-emphasis on the Dark Father. Only the bad aspects of culture are seen, leading to the erasure of anything good provided by our national context, such as good roads, functioning utility systems, the availability of food, stable families, sovereign individuals, and a sense of collective identity, a shared language and set of signs and symbols and values that help us to make sense of who we are and interpret reality. This is all under attack.
If 4D STS 'gave us their mind', as written by Castaneda, then this self-hatred is actually a way in which we can see how a psychopathic elite projects their hatred of us into our way of seeing the world through the medium of culture. It's pretty common to find unhealthy outlets for stress - especially when the brain is taxed by stress! So the elites generate stress and then weaponize it, either convincing people that it is all their fault, or perhaps the fault of the Russians or the Chinese or white men or whatever the flavour of the moment might be. It's like we're living in a negative-emotions military industrial complex.
