About  event horizon

As street protests mount, and sides dig deeper their ideological trenches, the unity of the nation takes a form more of an unwanted guest, rather than a loving family. The white-red Polish flag becomes the very field of the political conflict, the very identity that both sides try to reclaim for themselves. The new and old divisions cut deeper than ever into the fabric of the society, splitting friends and families, inspiring anger, and driving violence. We are heading towards the point of no return. Or have we already crossed it?
