Poland is based. Hope to see more European nations become so in the near future.
Good article!

On February 21st, Newsweek allowed Kaleta to contribute an opinion piece entitled Why I Decided To Regulate Big Tech in Poland.
He begins the piece by quoting English poet John Milton’s 1644 plea for liberty of the press: “Give me the liberty to know, to utter and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.”
Possibly citing this Milton quotation is a friendly rebuke of the Anglosphere, which developed both the contemporary concept of freedom of speech and the Internet. But now the latter is repressing the former.
Kaleta’s Polish perspective: “In Poland, we have watched with alarm as a consortium of ever more powerful, monopolistic Big Tech companies have done what was once unthinkable: de-platforming a sitting U.S. president [Trump]. For us, this example — which has alarmed presidents and prime ministers across Europe and, indeed, the world — is merely the straw that broke the camel’s back. The debate about who and what social media companies should be able to ban is now firmly in the public eye.”

Thanks for posting.
I wish our government and media and corporations allowed common sense
discourse like the Poles do.
Our Karma for all the bad jokes?
Maybe “The Plan” was to rub the world’s nose in the unholy tyranny of it all.
Like bad, bad puppy treatment, so it could open its eyes and see.
I pray that it be God’s Will that there be some sort of “Great Awakening”
as a result.
Instead of marching directly to Armageddon, skipping the chance for
World Peace, that so recently seemed clearly to lay before us.

The former Soviet satellites are going to be the last redoubt of western civilization. Unlike US, they still understand what is at stake.
Little by little I’ve noticed that Poland is becoming more and more like the Country we once were.
Like 2 ships passing in the night......
I’ve never been to Poland, but I freakin’ love them. I was in Berlin a few years ago in the museum district, and a tour bus of young Polish women was offloading. I swear, I’ve never seen such a large, stunning cohort of beautiful, clean-cut young women.
Polar is doing much better than we are.
