the judge [that first condemned the driver], Krzysztof Rawo, emphasised that, after the dehumanisation of social groups, “it is only a small step to violence”. He pointed to the examples of 1930s Germany, the Balkans in the 1990s, and Russia’s recent propaganda against Ukrainians.

Damn Poland, time to get your shit together. Final call’s gonna be sooner than later.
@endomorph We’re trying but the government is ass, the opposition is weak, and people in countryside are brainwashed by public TV. I honestly lost faith in democracy in this country.
I’m sorry to hear that. I know it’s not your fault! Honestly, I find myself losing faith as well. Democracy is in danger all across Europe; ours is starting to get cracks too, and lots of citizens are voting for the fucks that are actively trying to undermine everything that’s common sense and important for a peaceful future. But your country/government, sadly, seems to be in the lead for the race to fascism in the EU. I can but hope that the people will wake up before it’s too late and violence’ll ravage all that is precious!
