Dominika Lasota, a 22-year-old activist, was a guest on RMF FM. The conversation with the editor quickly turned into mockery of Lasota’s education and words, and part of the interview became viral on social media. Rafał Patyra couldn’t help but add his two cents.
Activist Dominika Lasota with Robert Mazurek
The activist’s words about Martin Luther King, whom she claimed were called a terrorist in his time, to which Robert Mazurek reacted with disbelief, particularly resonated. Lasota argued that “you have to read the textbooks” and Martin Luther King was “routinely called a terrorist.” You can even partially admit that she was right – this one of the most famous civil rights activists was actually under the FBI’s magnifying glass and attempts were made to classify him as a terrorist. All of King’s activities were anti-violence, and he himself was modeled on Mahatma Gandhi, but even such calls for non-violence were managed by the then investigators to be considered breaking the law – after all, the pastor encouraged people to break provisions that were unfair to part of society.
Robert Mazurek thanked her for the lecture and asked Dominika Lasota what her education was. “I graduated from high school,” the activist replied, to which Mazurek replied, “Oh, yes, that’s true.” Most of the recordings on social media ended at this point, but Dominika Lasota tried to defend herself against the unspoken accusation of incompetence:
I am sharing with you my knowledge, which I also draw from textbooks. I understand mocking my knowledge. I would like to share a different perspective with the listeners of this radio – she tried to finish the sentence.
However, the short video for social media did not include this answer. She rarely managed to say more than a few sentences before the editor interrupted the thread.
Without being asked, Rafał Patyra adds his opinion on Dominika Lasota’s words
Rafał Patyra from TV Republika made Mazurek’s conversation with Lasota the topic of “Express Republika”, a clone of TVP’s “Teleexpress”. He compared climate activists to the so-called “activists,” as non-binary people sometimes ask to be called. From the tone it can be easily concluded that this is not necessarily a neutral term in Patyra’s mouth:
There has been a lot of talk lately about acts of vandalism committed by the so-called climate activists. After disrupting a concert in the Philharmonic or throwing paint at the Warsaw Mermaid, we expressed doubts about the intellectual level of these “activists”. But that was a mistake. They are educated. And we know this from a morning conversation on RMF FM, where the guest of the Mazurek editor was young climate activist Dominika Lasota
– announced Patyra, and then played a fragment of the conversation between Mazurek and Lasota, ending with the now famous “Oh, yes.”
Oh yes. It’s not high school, but your sincere desire that will make you an activist! Be quiet over this coffin, he concluded.
You can find a fragment of Patyra’s “commentary” around the fifth minute of the recording:
