A legitimate Polish joke goes back to 1652: How many Poles did it take to screw up a country? One thanks to the Liberum Veto where one single noble could dissolve the government. Call it their Heckler's Veto on an existential level. While our government is protected against this extreme, our culture seems not to be. Where a single objection can cancel a speech, a private or a public career.
