    Yup. Today’s Russian near total surveillance began as “means to protect the children”.

    And Kaczyński just decides to regurgitate ideas from last country anyone should look up to.

      While his party was in power Poland donated pretty much entire stock of post-Soviet tanks and jets to Ukraine with no questions asked. At the same time Western Europe was making deals in return for military assistance. The only reason some people in Poland say Kaczyński is pro-Russia is that they’re too high on their own farts to remember that. Yeah, PiS are a bunch of sad little men but Russia doesn’t need to be involved, Poles have been a bunch of homophobes without need for external help.

      Coincidentally, I don’t think EU forcing Poland to recognise homosexual marriage is going to do any good for the cause. Poles have to decide it on their own, democratically rather than via rule of foreign judges. Kaczyński recognises this because he’s not dumb, so he’s going to use it.
