guy really said: "today i will cause problems on purpose."

Just saw on Quora a guy asking if Poland was more German or Russian and every reply was a Polish guy detailing the ways they wanted to kill him

poland currently wins the political absurdity level so let me give you a run down of our recent presidential debate(s) from 11th april 2025

there are two main presidential election candidates who have realistic chances of winning: right wing Nawrocki (evil) and centrist Trzaskowski (lesser evil)

Nawrocki challenges Trzaskowski to a debate

Trzaskowski agrees and organises a debate in cooperation with multiple tv stations including public tv (yikes… is this even legal?) in a tiny town Końskie in bumfuck nowhere

Nawrocki says that if his party is not included in the debate organisation then he is not going

Nawrocki organises his own debate (alone? can there be a debate if you are alone?) in the same tiny town, 900m away from Trzaskowski's debate's studio, one hour before Trzaskowski's debate

one of the other many president candidates, Hołownia (the current parlament marshal), writes on social media that he's gonna show up uninvited to the debate. what are the gonna do? not let him in? the marshal?

other micro candidates say they gonna show up too

and they do show up to Nawrocki's debate

organisers scramble to squeeze multiple candidates on the podium. cards for drawing lots look like regular a4 paper sheets

left wing candidate Senyszyn shows up late and greets the extremely right wing crowd (remember, this is Nawrocki's debate, so the crowd is his too. people who live in Końskie later said they've never seen these people before)

Senyszyn acts mildly insane, like she knew beforehand what an absolute circus this is gonna be and she steals internet's heart with her meme behaviour

one of the lesser candidates who showed up says he's gonna build 6 nuclear power plants in 6 months

at some point Hołownia says they should all go to Trzaskowski's debate. what are they gonna do? not let them in?

there's dangerously little police force

the crowd of onlookers has a Moment and tries to storm the studio building, unsuccessfully, but it looked bad

more candidates join: Trzaskowski (obviously. it's his debate and he's been waiting for Nawrocki to finally show up), left-wing Biejat, and…. some dude?

one of the micro candidates asks this dude who he is and his answer is "just a little guy :)"

it later turns out that he indeed is one of the micro micro candidates but like, it could've been just a random person, for all we knew in the moment

there's pretty much no introduction to the candidates. who are these people?

Senyszyn continues to live in the moment. she draws (?) something in her notebook most of the time. she asks Nawrocki what he's gonna do about priests convicted of pedophilia when he goes to the Vatican after he wins the election (what did she mean by this?)

debate commentators eat popcorn from one bowl

one of the candidates who didn't show up tweets about jewish gollum

at some point Nawrocki places polish flag in front of him and lgbt flag in front of Trzaskowski, as some kind of dumb bait

Trzaskowski has a huge eyeroll moment and just puts the rainbow flag somewhere out of sight

in a stroke of absolute pure genius, Biejat says she can take the rainbow flag from him because she's not afraid to show support. let me remind you that Trzaskowski is the lesser evil, he's the guy queer people were supposed to vote for in 2nd round and now Biejat made him look like an absolute fool

and he already looked like a fool anyway, organising a possibly illegal debate

if he organised this debate with private tv only it would be no problem. i mean, why invite only Nawrocki (can you imagine all the toxic yaoi memes) but at least it would be legal. but he mixed public tv in there. for all we know he could be the one writing debate questions. on public tv which is supposed to be impartial

candidates who decided to not show up are furious. they made the seemingly correct choice but now it turns out they've missed out on The Defining Situation of the whole pre-election

at some point one of the lesser candidates just flat out asked Trzaskowski why the hell he decided to do this debate and Trzaskowski began his answer with "this is a very good question"
