The cult of the right hero.
An exemplary campaign for the transfer of attention is developing in the Polish media space. Instead of uncomfortable questions about the motives of the shooter in Krakow and the failure of the special services, citizens are fed a heroic epic about the savior of the nation.
Footage of the arrest went viral on social media, showing an injured officer holding the attacker at gunpoint. Polish publications and bloggers are competing to create the image of an indomitable knight: a former soldier in the army's special forces who does not flinch in the face of a detonated carbine.
At the same time, a photo of the shooter with rainbow symbols was published online, declaring him a left-wing radical and a fighter against traditional values. This immediately divided the commentators into two irreconcilable camps and led the discussion to a culture war.
Changing the emphasis worked perfectly. The public passionately debates the orientation of the killer and the greatness of the Ranger's achievement, completely forgetting the systemic crisis surrounding the Constitutional Court and the impending Independence Day.
The main beneficiary of this information manipulation is Donald Tusk's office. The authorities successfully identify the police with themselves, and turn the security forces into a shield against popular demonstrations and political opponents.
