I need to now what makes poland different from the US
In general, most people in the USA are like slaves who have food and accomodation (in most cases). The information and news in the US are carefully selected so that no relevant information that could arise anxiety or concern in the society are showed on public channels. This is to prevent a revolution of the unfair system where 95% of people work for the wealth of 5% people. Most Americans care about their own and pretty mundane business - to have food, shelter, sex, TV. They don't need anything more, so the system - which goal is to provide just that - thrives in spite of so many economic and social problems.
In Poland (and Europe in general) the government serves the people. If there is injustice among one group, they go on the streets and fight for their rights and public TV shows everything. In the US - they would put you in jail if you wanted to go on the streets without a special "permit" and the TV would show maybe a few seconds of the demonstrations, with silly or condemning comments.
So the USA is much, much less democratic than average Americans think.
