I've pretty much given up on Poland. It's a perfect storm of reactionary Catholicism, fascism, misogyny, racism, exceptionalism, nationalism, all the "-ism"s...
I guess it stands out more to me because of how precipitous the slide has been from "solidarity" to whatever this is.
Also, "un-soviet bloc" is a term I'm using... Having gone from "anti-soviet" to "former-soviet" to "un-soviet", much as we use "un-dead".
