Poland is slowly provoking a war with itself
context: in 2015 the new president of Poland (Andrzej Duda) was elected, he's a member of PiS (law and justice) and he is basically a puppet in the hands of Jaroslaw Kaczynski (leader of PiS), during his presidency a bill granting every child except the first 500zl (about $150, the 500+ program), and some other bills restricting the opposition were approved, the civillians are rebelling (KOD) and the situation is generally stuff
Jaroslaw Kaczynski: (leader of pis)
Andrzej Duda: (president)
(theyre both basically memes)
