Radek Pogoda described a list of priorities that he attributed to his great-grandmother: a full pantry, healthy children, a safe home, produce from the garden, family meals, and kind relationships with neighbors. He wrote that achieving such a level of life was a great success in the past. According to Pogoda, in the 20th century companies began to present modest homes, old cars, and home-cooked meals as sources of shame to encourage people to buy new products. He also claimed that the rising cost of living forced both parents to work, and later, companies sold them, among other things, childcare and ready-made meals. Pogoda assessed that the former satisfaction with a simpler life began to be labeled as poverty and lack of ambition, and people were sold aspirations related to a bigger house, a car, and a wardrobe. He wrote that this way an endless cycle of consumerism was created. #refleksja #życie #prostota (translated)

AlkoInwestor described how to present saving as minimalism. He suggested that instead of talking about a reluctance to spend money, one should emphasize the lack of need for possessions, while referring to a few identical clothes as a capsule wardrobe. According to the author, one can also explain not buying a new phone by stating that the current one meets all needs and allows one to resist marketing. Among the examples, he mentioned refusing to go out to restaurants due to noise and crowds, forgoing vacations in protest against mass tourism, and proposing family holidays without gifts. He jokingly suggested limiting household items to a minimum while simultaneously accumulating ETF units. He advised responding to questions about driving the same car for 15 years with a question about the motivation to buy a new SUV, adding that one can have a functioning Skoda oneself.

Kafir wrote that he increasingly considered elitism to be better than democracy, because — as he claimed — in elections the vote of a person with knowledge and experience carries the same weight as the vote of a person without basic competencies. He noted that elitism, in his opinion, did not depend on wealth or education, but on knowledge, reason, and the ability to think independently. He criticized voters who — according to him — assessed economic policy without knowledge of issues such as inflation, budget, or monetary policy. As examples, he referred to people shopping at Lidl and Biedronka, as well as checking purchase prices, and accused some of them of confusing daily savings with the competencies needed to evaluate the state's finances. At the same time, he emphasized that simply looking for cheaper products was not bad. Kafir also criticized politicians who — as he wrote — lacked experience in running businesses or managing budgets, yet held positions that allowed them to decide on significant public expenditures. He accused right-wing groups of citing religion, tradition, and national values while simultaneously supporting strong authority without proper oversight. He argued that appeals to patriotism and religion did not replace the knowledge and competencies necessary to govern the state. He compared the expectations placed on children in their education to the expectations of politicians. He wrote that parents usually required their children to learn math and helped them acquire knowledge, yet some voters — in his opinion — did not expect similar competencies from those seeking power. He compared governing the state to entrusting a ten-year-old child with the household budget without parental control, pointing out that promises of unfunded expenditures could lead to debt. The author accused voters of re-electing politicians despite their mistakes if they promised them more money, and that they rejected criticism as a lack of patriotism. He claimed that some people did not want to check information or analyze arguments and instead trusted loud political messages. In conclusion, he asked why voters demanded education from children but did not require knowledge from politicians before entrusting them with power. He also mentioned the action "7 percent of 460," relating it to the number of deputies, and stated that there were at most 7 percent of wise ones among them. #Demokracja #Elitaryzm #Edukacja (translated)
