Bits of my exchange with a member of Poland’s far-right ruling party PiS on the new editon of @dw_conflictzone. You can see the full 56-minute show here: m.dw.com/en/which-way-i…
Do be warned, though: in the full-length show, the lies and anti-Muslim hatred coming out of the PiS guy's mouth are deeply disturbing. (Those are cut out here - I wouldn't share those on Twitter.)
I'm told by people who know PiS well that even the leadership of the party think this guy's a bit of a loose cannon. Imagine being too extreme for PiS... But others will argue his views are very typically PiS.
Either way, I'm not really into that whole theocracy idea.

Honestly, an adult in Europe not understanding that it is precisely religious intolerance & ethnic/racial intolerance that have burned Europe to the ground over and over in our history.
Or worse: that he knows our history but doesn’t care, because hate-mongering gets him a few votes and damn the consequences. Or maybe he thinks he can control the fires he’s setting, which of course he can’t. No one can.
