If 2020 and 2021 has taught us anything.
It has taught this young 20 year old man a lot.
When I was 20 I was riding the fastest motorbike on the planet and chasing ladies.
He had 1 year taken away from him by politicians for fear that 99.98% survival rate of the flu outweighs the economical costs and the suicides let alone those younger than he that have lost their education system.
I have seen the damage first hand to society over the last 12 months and nobody is going to tell me different. I have seen people turned away from hospitals unless they say they have covid. I have seen the boarding up of small businesses too.
I have watched small bars go out of business due to being ordered to close.
So has this young man, but I never lost a year of my life to date and find a mate like he has. I never lost friends and the opportunity to meet them like he did. I simply refused to comply.
Now this does give me hope as he is the future as most here have all had enough of 60 70 and 80 year old puppets ruining countries named politicians..
Here is the smart young mans view. Translated from Polish so not word perfect.

Hello everyone
The last few months have been a very politically tumultuous period in our country, in connection with the Constitutional Court ruling regarding abortion in October, and the publication of its justification in late January. Many voices of opposition raised then, regarding the politicization of the Constitutional Court, and protests, on an unprecedented 1989 scale Polish history. There were also those who asked ′′ Why now, why didn't you protest when the government raised taxes while it destroyed the economy?" etc. Because the protests weren't just caused by the Constitutional Court's decision, because protests of this type appeared on a smaller scale earlier when the government tried to violate abortion compromise. The ruling of the Constitutional Court was a drop that shed bitterness for all the work of the ruling party and the President, within the last 5 years: The President's refusal of the newly elected judges of the Constitutional Court in November 2015 (although the Venice Commission stated that the fault lies on both sides), the whole crisis around TK, until the term of office of TK President Andrzej Rzepli ński expires, then mid-2017 ′′ reforms ′′ of the judiciary, which again caused social dissatisfaction and which some time later were pushed through. In 2018, another reform this time by the Supreme Court. Later on from 2020, government's inept actions on the pandemic, inconsistency in actions, creating illegal restrictions, which the government itself broke with the rest. Then in June 2020, the president, openly dehumanized, or at least rejected, part of the Polish society, claiming, about the LGBT environment, that ′′ It's trying to say that it's people, and that's ideology ". And finally, the TK verdict happened, which spilled the spell and led to protests at the end of October.
The question is how did all of this happen? There are two reasons. The first is that loopholes and misconstrued records of the constitution allowed it, not just ignoring its records by the current ruling party. So what of the fact that the constitution enables members of the government or the President to be brought before the Court of State for violating the Constitution and Laws, if de facto, only one institution, the Parliament in the case of the Government or the National Assembly in the case of the President, and the Referendum that could force these institutions to do so, may be rejected by the Sejm, where, with too low turnout, the referendum is not bound. What causes citizens to have no control over power and power can easily avoid accountability for their actions. However, this is the tip of the iceberg, the constitution's writings make it possible to doubt the independence of the judiciary at every level (choice of judges of TK only by the absolute majority, the way judges of the National Council of Judiciary, both before and after the 2017 reform, and what a this goes the selection of judges also to the Supreme Court), democratisation and control of citizens of the Sejm (due to the proportional ordination, which causes citizens to lack control over people who go to the Parliament, or the inability to appeal the MP), or as I mentioned earlier, fragile and possible to be ignored by parliamentarians of the referendum mechanism.
On the other hand, the second reason is our actions: conscious or not, allowing such things or too weak, underserved grassroots actions. I'm talking about adopting and praising changes, without verifying what these changes are (which caused people to support judiciary reforms from 2017, thinking that every change is good and it can't get any worse, unfortunately, it's worse). The Democracy Defense Committee, on the other hand, rightly opposed harmful reforms, automatically stood up for a law that was considered harmful by some of the society that wanted reforms (not knowing what the reforms are). Perhaps this error caused the CODE to be considered by part of society as an illusion of grassroots social movement that was really
controlled by the opposition removed from power. This was not an overall error of the general movement, but a board that could not exploit social dissatisfaction towards government actions and present their own solutions that could satisfy both protesters and sceptical people about protests. This way that the CODE would confirm that it has a plan and contrary to the popular opinion among government supporters, they are not at all an opposition-controlled movement. Not enough, the CODE did not have to create these solutions from scratch, the Venetian Commission, supported both Kukiz ' 15's idea of electing judges by the majority of the 2/3th Parliament, with a footnote to create additional safeguards in the event of a deadlock selection of judges, or, an idea presented by the Venice Commission itself, that judges of the Court will be chosen by each state authority. Unfortunately, CODE, didn't take any action, other than resisting street resistance, the traffic binder didn't translate into any particular projects or project support, which further killed this movement.
With the Women's Strike, there was a similar situation after the Constitutional Court published the ruling, within one moment a large part of society, primarily young people, expressed their opposition to no longer manipulate the law, but to openly take away the choice from which life and health may depend on both physical and health and the mental of almost every woman. Within a few days, women's protests joined entrepreneurs, farmers, the LGBT community, everyone who has been harmed, by the government's actions over the last 5 years, especially last year. This resulted in Women's Strikes having momentum never seen in our country's latest history. Here, however, all their potential wasted, again by the board of the strike, which instead of focusing on the problem that connected these different environments, to communicate with the representatives of each of the backgrounds that joined and supported women, create their own solutions to real problems with which each of the environments that supported the strike was measured... They made their own demands (without concrete what and how to change), which deviated strongly from the reasons why these protests started, which were impossible to achieve in a short period of time, not enough, demands didn't take taking into account the needs of women's strike support environments. Thus, a real move primarily initiated by youngsters who expressed their rage towards the government's actions, which other government-harmed environments began to join, turned into an internal ideological battle, and the self-proclaimed board rejected anyone who even wanted to support the strike, and did not agree entirely with the demands that the board made without consulting others. And at the end of January, this board got played in a political game that was supposed to drown out an increasingly strong entrepreneur s' revolt.
The conclusion is one, people who want to go against the system are so blinded by hatred towards it or act inconsiderately enough to allow internal divide, do not exploit the potential of demonstrations that have been triggered and do not present any concrete aimed at making to make something better. All these strikes gave was even more polarization of society and greater exposing differences where one common denominator needed to be found.
That's why I want to say today.
I am ENOUGH of constantly dividing our society and excluding anyone from it for any reason.
I'm TIRED of politicians lack of accountability for their actions.
I'M ENOUGH of the lack of control of society over people who go to the Sejm which is the most important institution in this country and the Courts whose guarantee of independence is the basis for the proper functioning of the state.
I've had ENOUGH of the head of state, which instead of standing up for the constitution and the good of all citizens, only fulfills the ministry of the party from which he comes and the voters who let him hit that position and finally...
I have ENOUGH of the constitution that made it possible for all of this and the faulty system that is based on it!
I don't want to look at all of this anymore and people who are just screaming that it's bad, without giving any specifics on how and what needs to be changed!
Easy to criticize, easy to point out mistakes, but it's already much harder to develop and present your own ideas. Therefore, not to be gobshit and scream that it's bad and that something should be changed, without knowing exactly what needs to be changed, how and why, I decided that even though I'm only 20 years old, I haven't seen many things and can not to know; I have no one behind me who can do things better than I do, because they might have more knowledge and experience in the fields than I do; my legal knowledge is not high and I wouldn't be able to work everything out like this, how perhaps it should be done... Despite all of this, I decided that I would take matters into my own hands and develop my own vision of this country, with concrete plans for systemic changes, with explanations of what, why and how it needs to be changed and what it would do for our country . I will show you exactly what I developed and what I was guided by wanting to take the first step towards making changes by putting them on paper in the right form. I will show my project in the coming days...
This is what we all allowed in one way or another to be done to them the young ones, support them, encourage them and let them know they are the future not US.
Have a superb day ahead.
By the way, the photo below is the crime minister of Poland and his dogs being chased by farmers this week.
It is photo of the century to me.
