This is really sad. And it happened in Kraków, of all cities.
I can’t wait for my right-wing colleagues and family members be like: “But left-wing terrorists also killed people… in the 70s! So we need to be afraid of them! This guy was just an exception, probably mentally ill…”
Don’t know about Poland, but in Germany, criminal acts by the right wing outnumber those by the left wing by more than 3:1. Also, left wing terrorists target… right wingers, and the owning class and its henchmen. Right wing terrorists tend to target immigrants, but also completely white-bread average people, like in this case.

















Do you think that’s particularly old, or particularly young?
There was a documentary on arte called “24h Europe”. It runs indeed for 24 hours, because it’s mostly in real time. See if you can find a stream or a copy, it’s absolutely riveting. They interviewed dozens of people under 30 all over Europe. Plenty of them held far-right views.
I specifically remember an interview with a 15-year-old Polish girl who had joined a paramilitary training camp. She rambled on and on about the “Muslim wave”, and how she feels obliged to defend the Polish borders etc. :-/
