I live in Poland. It's pretty great. But the large multinational corporations with headquarters and outposts here are infected with stupidity due to constant cooperation and contact with western europeans.
For example, my Polish colleagues all talk massive shit about the companies "equity" programs and think that Diversity is a scam--but if we talk massive shit openly, we tend to get in trouble from executives further up the food chain who are rarely Polish.
Also, you of all people won't be surprised by this, but Polish Women are still women, and so lean left and tend to be emotional thinkers. Many companies are 50% female, and 90% in middle management. The consequences of that are exactly what you might expect.
That said, the number of mega-based women in Poland is much higher than in other countries, and conservative women are fairly common over here, so not all is lost.

Funny, we in Western Europe blame the stupidity here on contact with the Americans.
Yeah, well. It began there, but the Western Europeans have embraced it at a governmental level in a way that the Americans simply can't.
I think you greatly underestimate the extent to which the 'civil rights' nonsense has led to effectively government-imposed wokeness. It's way worse even than in Western Europe.
Fuck Brussels, btw, Belgium is a fake country.
Yes, and so is Uk...
Eh... better not say that in the presence of a Polish friend.
The American's sold you lot a product that they themselves can walk away from.
I mean there is the 1st and 2nd Amendment they can fall back on for the worst case.
What does Western Europe do, other than Brussels harder?

They are unlikely to succeed using the 2nd against the overwhelming power of the heavily militarized American state. As for the 1st, it is basically a dead letter given the power of corporations to fire and censor.
That's just taking things to their inevitable conclusion which is not guaranteed. Supply chains in the US are such that an internal military intervention against a non-docile populace is NOT a cake walk. Unless you mean the US military is going to nuke their own land.
As for the erosion on the 1st, I agree it is being weakened by corporations, and their ilk, BUT it is far from toothless, unlike the non-existent protections in the rest of the Western democracies.

As an American, I apologize for our government screwing over the rest of the planet under the guise of "Freedom" and "Democracy".
In reality, they are purposefully spreading Communism under the guise of fighting Communism.
It really is. Belgians don’t even consider Belgium a country.
The woke shit began in France and Germany last century

Laughs in Taliban
Depending on the country that range from embassy bombing to full blown revolution.
That's Americans, also a Chinese embassy so who cares lol
I’m sure they’ll think of a solution...
Oddly enough we used to blame it on Europeans… but lately I could understand the role reversal
It indisputably started in Europe
Funny, we in America blame the stupidity on Americans too.
Damn continent-wide country, we get all the retardation of the old world cross-territorial squabbling with none of the benefits.
Leftism is a mental virus.
