How fucked up in the head do you need to be to make shit like that up? It's not even just an adult, which would be stupid enough, no, it's an education official.

I mean it’s not much different than

Make up some disinformation. Use it as a talking point to get people on your side and advance your goals

I think falsely claiming preschoolers have rooms for masturbation or anything sex-related is still a tad worse than falsely claiming they shit or pee weirdly. They serve the same goal of attacking public schools, but one still just seems more fucked up than the other.

[-] Silentiea@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

On the one hand, it's similarly ridiculous. On the other hand, I think just about everyone would be more startled disgusted by the claim here.

Conservatives generally have an astonishing skill at coming up with the weirdest bullshit to justify their hate of anyone progressive.

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 15 points 1 year ago

considering their tendency to project im always worried its not made up.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I think it's about the general view on masturbation. Like I guess some people in Poland would love to tell preschoolers that masturbation is wrong and shouldn't be done at all. If anyone teaches children it's ok, but they shouldn't do it in front of everyone, it's easy to imagine it leads to the idea of a masturbation room, which can easily cause outrage in Polích population despite the fact it's actually nothing wrong.

Reality is a team sport, to some people. Claims are not evaluated. They're simply accepted or rejected based on interpersonal trust.

They think you're the same way. They think that's all there is.

About as fucked as any ~~conservative~~ regressive representative, pundit, or a good chunk of their voters.

[-] johnyrocket@feddit.ch 3 points 11 months ago

*uneducated official

[-] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 104 points 1 year ago

No better guardians of morality than people who fantasize about masturbation rooms for children.

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 46 points 1 year ago

Yeah, you've got to be a sick fuck to even come up with this shit.

She was prepared to show the reporter where she'd seen the claim online, but her phone was in the microwave, charging.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

This was because she had attempted to drill for the hidden headphone jack, and thought it would not turn back on because the battery was dead.

[-] ivanafterall@kbin.social 58 points 1 year ago

Any room can be a masturbation room if you're committed enough.

You know there's now a small bunch of people who believe this... All she had to do was say it once, and the damage was done.

[-] Kalkaline@leminal.space 29 points 1 year ago

And the evidence is "I heard it from a friend, you don't know them, but it's totally true".

[-] loobkoob@kbin.social 22 points 1 year ago

"I can't find a source because the government and [[[globalist]]] mainstream media is covering it up. Do your own research"

[-] library_napper@monyet.cc 48 points 1 year ago

While I do appreciate having dedicated masturbation stations at work, I dont think elementary schools need them for the students

But I do think we should advance this discussion as a workplace perk

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 42 points 1 year ago

That’s not what your cubicle is for, Frank. We can all see you and it’s gross.

[-] library_napper@monyet.cc 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah Frank, last year we converted conference room 8D for this purpose.

[-] SheeEttin@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Just go jerk off in the bathroom like a normal person.

[-] BubsyFanboy@szmer.info 37 points 1 year ago

The remarks were made by Barbara Nowak, the education superintendent for Małopolska, a province of 3.4 million people in southern Poland centred around the city of Kraków. The national government appoints one such official in each of Poland’s 16 provinces, where they are tasked with overseeing schools.

Nowak, a controversial and outspoken figure, was asked in an interview with news website Wirtualna Polska about claims commonly made by her and other Polish conservatives that the World Health Organisation (WHO) is seeking to “sexualise” children.

“The WHO outlines the aims to quickly interest young people in their bodies and in the pleasure of artificially aroused sexuality,” she answered. “These groups claim that the easiest way to relieve a small child’s emotions is through masturbation.”

“In Swedish preschools there are special rooms where the teacher goes with a child and masturbates them,” Nowak continued. “They then know that they can also masturbate on their own.”

[-] SLaSZT@kbin.social 33 points 1 year ago

In newspapers, whenever someone is described as "controversial and outspoken," what is generally meant is "delusional and loudly ignorant."

[-] MudMan@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

Also right wing extremist.

Not every time, but enough times that I just assume at this point.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It used to be "excentric" but, as we all know, language is constantly evolving.

[-] RickyRigatoni@lemmy.ml 35 points 1 year ago

you people are no longer allowed to make fun of america's crazy politicians

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

America's crazy polititians are a direct and indirect influence on polish ones.

[-] DeepFriedDresden@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

Counter argument, Russian interference and political undermining has a direct and indirect influence on global politics.

"Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics"."

[-] 4am@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Yeah but when you see a rise in broken, sociopathic politicians in one country, the response isn’t supposed to be “hold my Paczki and watch THIS”

[-] curiosityLynx@beehaw.org 22 points 1 year ago

Correction: Everyone is still allowed to make fun of American's crazy politicians, there's just more non-American politicians in the pool to also make fun of

[-] MayonnaiseArch@beehaw.org 5 points 1 year ago

We all import american bullshit, I saw some dumbas talking about trans people and Biden on tv. I live in a small Balkan shithole, but those our the issues we face here. It spilled over to the dumb shits, the reality based community is shrinking

[-] FluffyPotato@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Nah, it's just American politics imported. Estonian far right party tried it with gay people but it got them ridiculed instead because same sex marriage wasn't even legan then but they made it into a hot enough of an issue that after losing our government signed a law that does legalise it starting next year.

I'm guessing Estonia will get the "save the children" narrative for our next national election, I'm hoping that will end up making stuff better for trans people instead.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

Now imagine we in Poland have not only this bullshit but also the imported american bullshit.

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.ml 20 points 11 months ago

To put the "official" in context, that woman is Barbara Nowak, the education curator for the Lesser Poland voivodeship - that is, the official directly responsible for the education system in entire region, and this particular region is one of the most densely inhabited.

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 20 points 1 year ago

Every right wing accusation is an admission of guilt. Euuuugggghh....

[-] Socsa@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 year ago

Why even respond to such nonsense?

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 18 points 1 year ago

Or why respond seriously?

Just call the person that made the claim a sick and stupid freak and apologize to the people forced to work with her. Decorum should go out the window when shit like this is being slung around, this "we go high, they go low" shit is cringe.

[-] HowMany@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

Exactly. Or as they're called in the Swedish Tongue - maSSturbatoriums. No such thing. Silly Polish people. Sweden waves its genitals in your general direction.
