Polish Presidential Elections 2020
5 years ago
General
So the presidential elections in Poland have come to an end, and the candidate that I voted for didn't win (to be fair, my candidate lost in the first phase, so I was voting for someone else in the second, but whatever, even that guy didn't win).
What's my reaction? Well, it is the typical close-minded and extrimist attitude of respecting the will of the people and accepting that this is who takes on the role for the next couple of years.
It's just what what I do....

They were elected in huge part, because of how much money they were giving away to reward couples for bearing children, which has a lot of left leaning logic behind it.
Are you using your views on the politics in your country, Europe and/or America to draw conclusions on what is happening in my dumb hillbilly country of Poland?
I am sorry Poland has been kind of like this for a while. I am a dumb dumb Scottish person unfamiliar with Poland :o
Up till a few years ago I was staying out of it, just saying that "I guess I'm more of a leftist". Now a few years passed and I feel disillusioned. There's been situations where the right represented more of what I believe in, while the left was strongly opposed to it. I cannot see things as black and white where one side is good and the other is bad.
Despite me becoming more of a centrist who can't really take sides, it feels like the whole world became so divided and tribalistic. Everyday, at home, at work, in the TV, on the internet, I'm surrounded by people screaming in frustration over how everyone is stupid for making different political choices than them.
It feels so tiring... I just keep shrugging and apologizing for being an idiot to everyone. It doesn't matter who I vote for. I am a true idiot, not one shaped by their political beliefs.
I say everyone should just invent the computer White Noise and implant chips into everyone to repress violent emotions :p
Mmm, note to self when I become emperor of the world; send the far right to Venus.
"Ooga-Booga! I shall respect the democratic process, and acknowledge that violence or vulgarity will not fix the issue!"
