I like the American way of dealing with such things, (as I understand the situation from afar) that the public deals with such things with reasonoable speech or boycott and mocking when the first doesn’t help. Police measures are inappropriate when the subject is an idea.

Yes ... I guess I agree. You’ve convinced me.

The battlefield of ideas should be a flat playing field. Indeed: the banning of free speech helped Hitler get into power in the first place.

Poland would be far better off *not* doing this. It’s a toxic thing to do.

But let us temper our criticism by saying that we don’t have to deal with the horrendous societal wound that Poland carries.

We are in a happy place: a world where 60 million Americans haven’t been murdered in ‘American death camps’. Though if Hillary gets in, who knows? (shudder).
