Papers please.
I have only resided in PL for just over 7 years, but I as most people do, know a little about their communist past.
The theory I put forward after seeing with my own eyes what happened here. Well I can back it up with Moscow too.
At the start of "2 weeks to flatten the curve" and lock down 1, the police were ordered to stop people and ask them where they were going, I never stopped going out even for 1 day, I can not as I have 3 cats at my farm that need feeding though I spend time in the winter at our apartment 5 miles away.
They also announced anyone saying they were going to work needed papers from their employer to say they were essential and needed.
Now here is where the non compliance kicked in from day 1. As I said before, they have lived all this before, and not so long ago.
The police gave up that order day 1 or day 2.
Then the mask mandates came in and the police were ordered to fine people for not wearing one. I never did.
They did drive around looking for people to fine for a few weeks, but then the courts threw out all the fines.
So they stopped doing that.
After a couple of months even though masks were mandatory the police themselves stopped wearing them.
You see these people know what communism looks like.
With that in mind this is where the vax push also crumbled. There were no queues for all the portacabins they set up to jibby jabby people.
No government coercion in the world, no guilt trip, nothing the government says could or would work due to their deep seated hatred of authority and government here.
They tried lock down 2 and nobody stayed at home. They tried elderly shopping only until 12 noon, that failed too.
Everything the gov did including putting the military reserves on the street walking 1 per police patrol, well that failed too as they those young reserves wanted nothing to do with bullying the public.
Now they have tried to talk about vax passports but then withdrew that idea.
So now I offer up my second instance of another country that refused to comply.
Moscow Russia.
As you know they had years of the same, papers please.

I learned of this via her facebook post yesterday or the day before.
In Moscow and possibly all over Russia, though let us concentrate on Moscow.
They rolled out a vaccine passport, no passport no bar, no passport, no public transport.
No passport no restaurants, cinema, you get the picture.
Well when forced to do something, they like the Polish rebelled.
They stopped going to bars, they stopped going to the cinema, they locked themselves down.
After a short while business owners started to feel the pain.
It got so bad that they started to complain to the mayor that if the passport was not ended they feared they would all go broke and bankrupt.
The mayor crumbled and reversed the vax passport idea.
Non compliance won the day without a protest, violence or a single shot fired in anger.
WIN,WIN,WIN.
This is the thing is it not, people do not know their own power. Poland and Russia prove it, they prove how much more power the people have over the government.
Sure government have guns, police, soldiers, tanks, but the one thing they do not have is the power to control us all.
Conclusion.
In conclusion I can give you a couple more things that went down here.
People that refused to close their restaurants, bars, small businesses for 8 months were constantly harassed by health officials who travelled illegally in the same car with the police to try to close them down.
They still refused to comply.
So the next tactic government tried was blockading the owners door with a body of police.
There are many videos of this on youtube.
This to my mind is & was a total abuse of public funds.
So a new movement started where a page, a simple page on fakebook was started to get a movement going using the constitution to back up the owners right to open.
Solicitors/lawyers offered advice, legal advice so the owners would face no punishment or fine.
The government gave up trying to block owners doorways after a couple of weeks.
That group has now morphed into the 4th or possibly 3rd largest political party in only 19 months by members alone.
So think about this, "you" have the power, not them.
We got organized and very quickly. Both countries never took anything laying down.
May I suggest the west do the same.
"YOU HAVE THE POWER!"
Have a stunning week, in you I trust.
People power!
