Nature may give illustrations unexpected and unwanted by local elites. Polish aspirations for EU- capital of culture as ilustrated by local folk
Footbal fans in Bydgoszcz, Poland, under the banner of 'Capital of Culture 2016'
Such pictures are mainly hastily hidden- that no one "in the West" would see them. Poland is a country of hidden violence. Neo-national socialist groups are so numerous, that even I have problems- recently was atacked by a neonazi when sitting on the bench and chatting with friends. Someone of friends of my friends had neonazi friends, they came by and greeted each others with the slogan "hail nationalist socialism''.
In Polish countryside radical ideologies exist, but are hidden and not debated. Extremism become a taboo subject, hidden from debate by corrupted media and power elites. Football hooligans, here portrayes, also represent radical ideologies. It is this peer group that is seen as connected with these ideologies. In Polish football there are no other ideological trewnds. We do not have anything like more centrist fans of some German football teams.
