1. Some of those stories behind those flags are moderately entertaining to look at, given the passage of the centuries between their occurrence and the here-and-now.

2. That's just plain appallingly evil on its face. Clearly, Poland is not getting the good governance its people truly ought to have. Certainly, their womenfolk and LGBTQ people are being denied such, with cruelty aforethought. The new fascist international has their claws dug in.
