+
+I have only recently [[https://michal.sapka.me/brain-rot/fantasy/witcher/][finished reading the /Witcher/ series]], which removed on the biggest stains on my honour.
+It was political, it was intelligent - sure.
+But I am used to it, as basically every important Polish work of fiction is full of them.
+Most of this is the sub-context, as the goal was to raise our spirits, not the oppressors.
+
+Note, that recent Polish history is quite short.
+First we start with 100 years of Partitions, then we've got 20 years of Poland exiting.
+After that, The Second World War started, and Poland ended under Soviet option for the next 50 years.
+
+There is the saying, that when western countries were developing their culture in the open, we were locked in dark rooms thinking of how to harm yet other oppressors.
+
+Most of our education is this: we read old books (mostly: boring books), which are full of allusions and subtexts.
+
+One of those that are like that, but not taught in school, is the Witcher series.
+
+Inis Vitre released a short, 3-hour video essay about that and the anti-intellectualism of Netflix's adaptation.
+It's sure worth watching!
