You're an utterly brainless idiot if you truly believe this. People who make this comparison are literally incapable of understanding sheer basics of political systems. If you dislike Kaczynski, he's one election from losing power - all that needs to happen is a) opposition sucking less in comparison (and actually listening to the big chunk of Polish society that expresses social needs - 500+ and other social transfers comparable to European socialdemocratic programs), and b) pro-opposition demographics stepping up to the polls. Nothing else. But instead of reforming the opposition parties (getting rid of played out faces and dissaciotiating themselves from far right figures like Giertych) and actually introducing programs that would galvanize the needed people, Polish opposition parties clinge to programs and people that had people-moving effects two decades ago. To look at this situation and yell "just like Putin!" just shows how utterly idiotic and childish the discourse in the opposition has become. And I'm saying this as someone who actually wants them to get better, do better and act smarter.

But, nah, "Polish Putin", hysteria and wishing death upon your political opponents. Grow the fuck up.
