"Our Journal" of the "Critique of the Political," writes: "The mainstream considers itself a vanguard of" Sisters considerations, who is more offowy - "Our Journal" or "political criticism" - Agnes Zurek has devoted
article "Coffee and propaganda" in the "Nasz Dziennik" . The text relates to the premises Political Criticism and similar places, so I expected something that would go after
line designated by Jaroslaw Kaczynski . Meanwhile, this is another text about hipsterach, only written from the point of view radically different from others because the far-right.
main thesis of the article is that the left-wing facade, as proposed by the trendy cafes of Warsaw (mostly Brave New World), but shows itself as anti-system, an avant-garde, objecting to the Catholic mainstream, in fact, is itself a mainstream, and attitudes that stem from it, are properly a matter of fashion, rather than any conviction arising out of critical thought. Declaring on the side of Political Criticism is not critical, but conservative.
author does not criticize the reading "Political Criticism" neither of those most involved left. It seems that the radical left in peace with respect, with solidarity. He criticizes regard the partying or sitting in a coffee NWS for subversion or jokes with Rydzyk or Kaczynski as part of a social conversation cool. Superficial manifestations of leftist protest lifestyle'owym bezrefleksyjność complains.
"The proposed idea is not creative or exploratory, but based solely on the negation of traditional values \u200b\u200band" moral liberation "It's tough
plea when he puts it at people who like the word" criticality. " However, it is impossible to deny him legitimacy: not all coffee drinkers on the premises of Political Criticism is interested in something more critical than your latte, but I think everyone has a tendency to imagine that, partying, or studded with Catholicism is a subversive, anti-system, avant-garde.
She also complains that the KP mainstreamowość. It's quite funny: each party - left-wing and right-wing - believes that the mainstream value system of the opposing party and fashion, and its activities it considers subversive, requiring the courage to go against the tide. Readers 'Critics' consider to be mainstream Catholicism, and his mocked - for a cool way to be original. Catholics-nationalists of the "Our Journal" for the mainstream believe the lack of Catholic values, and himself with an elite group of brave fighters for these values.
I think both parties are on the foundation of social life wrong, but similar. Imagine that society is organized by a system: an irresistible, quasi-totalitarian, homogenizujący. While the word system replace the word mainstream, are not aware of what this transformation of shifting meanings of semantic entails. The word "mainstream" suggests that the niches are many - outside the mainstream and are therefore the NWS hipsterzy who their lifestyle manifest their wywrotowość and avant-garde (and which the author complains that it is mainstream), and radicals from the "daily" Nasz Dziennik ". This word also suggests that the "mainstream" is something of liquid (and not - as in the case of the term "system" - a permanent, orderly and predictable), they allow the idea that defined its population is separated into many side currents, because it is made up individuals aspire to continually distinguish themselves from the neighbors. According to this model of society characterized by diversity rather "baby niches" than homogenization and mass.
Since I have a fondness for niches and to the originals, I read sometimes, "Nasz Dziennik" in search of fantastic sequences of thought. And this time the logic of the text is interesting. The author is right about one thing: she, a young right-wing journalist, is more original than those of young left-wing journalists who - to paraphrase Masłowska - twelve is sitting in every trendy coffee shop.
Only if the award is so important value? But I probably will get me bigger radicals accused me that I am either the mainstream bourgeois habits and that it has sold the system, than to imagine the resentment that by doing something I struggle with outmoded system.
