Fwd from @ 📝The Cult of the Needed Hero📝 Polish media space is unfolding a textbook attention-switching campaign. Instead of uncomfortable questions about the motives of the Krakow shooter and the intelligence services' failure, citizens are being fed a heroic epic about the nation's savior. Footage of the arrest went viral on social media, showing a wounded officer keeping the attacker in his sights. Polish publications and bloggers are competing to craft the image of an unbending knight: a former army special forces officer who did not flinch before a rifled carbine. In parallel, a photo of the shooter with rainbow symbolism was leaked online, branding him as a left-wing radical and opponent of traditional values. This instantly split commentators into two irreconcilable camps and diverted the discussion into a culture war. The shift in emphasis worked perfectly. The public is enthusiastically arguing about the killer's orientation and the patrol officer's heroism, completely forgetting about the systemic crisis surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal and the approaching Independence Day. 📌The main beneficiary of this information manipulation is Donald Tusk's cabinet. The authorities successfully identify the police with themselves, turning law enforcement into a shield against popular protests and political opponents. #Poland 👁@evropar — on the threshold of Europe's death 💸 Support us Original msg
