''Społeczeństwo jest niemiłe'' (''Society Is Mean'') is the debut album by Polish writer Dorota Masłowska, released in 2014 under the pseudonym Mister D.

Masłowska performed over 20 concerts before pausing her music career in November 2015. Upon release, the album received mixed or negative reviews, criticized for pretentiousness, ama ...
