Some Polish politicians and publicists believe this is actually what the ruling Law&Justice party is trying aiming for! If Poland is kicked out of EU, they will spin that as "EU is bad, EU is harassing us for no reason". Law&Justice faces a lot of opposition from pro-EU citizens of Poland. If they manage to vilify EU and create turmoil, they can remain in power by blaming everything on external enemies.
Law&Justice is using divide&conquer strategy, except they divide their own country and fuel internal conflicts.
- anigbrowl 9y agoAbsolutely. Same thing with Brexit and numerous other phenomena. Nationalists hate supranational and globalist institutions because globalism is totalizing, ie it offers a complete worldview. Nationalism is implicitly predicated on the idea that there's enough for everyone else, this bit is ours, and that what we do here doesn't affect anyone else. Ultimatey, it's an anti-scientific philosophy.
