To put the “official” in context, that woman is Barbara Nowak, the education curator for the Lesser Poland voivodeship - that is, the official directly responsible for the education system in entire region, and this particular region is one of the most densely inhabited.
Exactly. Or as they’re called in the Swedish Tongue - maSSturbatoriums. No such thing. Silly Polish people. Sweden waves its genitals in your general direction.
…Wait, why did they bring the Swedish flags out for this? Denying that our schools have masturbation rooms makes sense, making it a point of national pride that they don’t is really, really weird.
They broke out their special masturbation room rebuke flags to deny it.
Was just riffing on the idea that the people in the picture would be involved in any way with the statements put forward by the Swedish ambassador to Poland.
I used to work in a boogie tech office that converted a conference room to a nap and mediation room. It has artificial grass and lots of pillows.
While I do think it was a nice perk, I personally get more of a productivity boost from a quickie than a power nap. But everyone’s different.
Fortunately I work from home, so I don’t need a masturbation station at some shared office. But I do think it could be nice, though I can’t see how to make it sanitary.
It would have to be some kind of single-stall facility where you can flush the entire room when you leave… like a decontamination chamber or something.
How fucked up in the head do you need to be to make shit like that up? It’s not even just an adult, which would be stupid enough, no, it’s an education official.
I think falsely claiming preschoolers have rooms for masturbation or anything sex-related is still a tad worse than falsely claiming they shit or pee weirdly. They serve the same goal of attacking public schools, but one still just seems more fucked up than the other.
Poland is very religious. Their politicians know that religious people are essentially brain damaged and will believe pretty much anything as long as it comes from someone they view as an authority figure (even if its proven wrong, they’ll still stick with it). Raising children to be religious is child abuse.
I think it’s about the general view on masturbation. Like I guess some people in Poland would love to tell preschoolers that masturbation is wrong and shouldn’t be done at all. If anyone teaches children it’s ok, but they shouldn’t do it in front of everyone, it’s easy to imagine it leads to the idea of a masturbation room, which can easily cause outrage in Polích population despite the fact it’s actually nothing wrong.
Correction: Everyone is still allowed to make fun of American’s crazy politicians, there’s just more non-American politicians in the pool to also make fun of
Counter argument, Russian interference and political undermining has a direct and indirect influence on global politics.
"Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics"."
It’s less wacky politicians (though there undoubtedly are some that actually believe that) and more nationalist propaganda - showing Poland as an island of righteousness against the removed west or something. It’s an attempt by the far-right Law and Justice Party to gain support via culture war and shocking people into disgust and hoping they back you based on that. Even at the cost of pretty blatant lies.
We all import american bullshit, I saw some dumbas talking about trans people and Biden on tv. I live in a small Balkan shithole, but those our the issues we face here. It spilled over to the dumb shits, the reality based community is shrinking
Nah, it’s just American politics imported. Estonian far right party tried it with gay people but it got them ridiculed instead because same sex marriage wasn’t even legan then but they made it into a hot enough of an issue that after losing our government signed a law that does legalise it starting next year.
I’m guessing Estonia will get the “save the children” narrative for our next national election, I’m hoping that will end up making stuff better for trans people instead.
Just call the person that made the claim a sick and stupid freak and apologize to the people forced to work with her. Decorum should go out the window when shit like this is being slung around, this “we go high, they go low” shit is cringe.
The remarks were made by Barbara Nowak, the education superintendent for Małopolska, a province of 3.4 million people in southern Poland centred around the city of Kraków. The national government appoints one such official in each of Poland’s 16 provinces, where they are tasked with overseeing schools.
Nowak, a controversial and outspoken figure, was asked in an interview with news website Wirtualna Polska about claims commonly made by her and other Polish conservatives that the World Health Organisation (WHO) is seeking to “sexualise” children.
“The WHO outlines the aims to quickly interest young people in their bodies and in the pleasure of artificially aroused sexuality,” she answered. “These groups claim that the easiest way to relieve a small child’s emotions is through masturbation.”
“In Swedish preschools there are special rooms where the teacher goes with a child and masturbates them,” Nowak continued. “They then know that they can also masturbate on their own.”
