That they're seen as "far left" is just the push of establishment wealth, creating an imagined "left" just to tell most non-political people that their normal values and ideas are unrealistic or a bit much.
Frustrating headline though. I think those who think themselves "moderate" often do so bc moderate is equated with normal. And diversity, equality, peace, public health and public health care, a healthy planet, decent wages, care for others, more fluid borders, decent homes, are all normal things.
Nice to see it being backed with polling data, because it's so easy to manipulate people with the idea that their politics are "more extreme" than their neighbour's.
“Even masks are becoming difficult to find. This is a huge mistake. I ask those who have the ability, especially foreign media, to reflect on this situation. What are people supposed to do under these conditions? This is truly a crime against humanity.”
I hope all goes well for you!
It's extremely frustrating to see our hospitals declaring their masking period over because it's no longer the "winter covid, rsv and flu season," despite the covid spike happening right as they drop the most basic preventative.
The biggest scandal of all is that we still have the Tory guidance in place and staff still have no ffp3 respirators for an airborne virus that is vascular in nature and can cause heart damage & blood clots.
These wastewater numbers are fucking insane.
I'm so tired. And I'm so tired of the peak coming at slightly different times every year. It's so hard when everyone wants you gone.
A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.
Can't help but laugh at the NYT blowing so much of their time and dignity on capitulating to the haircut republic, and still getting clowned by their most losery of losers.
You know he’s a neofascist when he starts referring to the “ultra-liberal New York Times.”
This dweeb knows nothing of the broader world.

Nailed it. I think the only way he gets away with some of this 4chan shit is because most Canadians are normal. They have no idea about the dank basements of the internet that his inner circle hang out in or exactly what the CPC is constantly dogwhistling to. He's a freak.
A few hours ago, I had to look at both Ben Mulroney's instagram and John Tory's new bouffant of hair, and this is still somehow the most ridiculous, skin-crawling thing I've seen all day. Great work, Peepy.
Thank you for reporting on this and for having reported on how much higher Covid deaths have been in comparison in past years. I hope you'll do another story about Covid deaths and Long Covid cases after the winter wave ends (especially now that AB forces people to pay for vaccines).
He's slicker and scarier than Fetterman. Both say the right things for votes. He seems equally treasonous to his potential voters, but it seems like this his hatred and rot goes deeper.
Sure, normal people look at fascist social media to learn about their ideology. What they don't do is RT and say "let that sink in" when the broken clock is right. They have plenty of sane, normal accounts with similar comments to share from. Why didn't he? This crooked fuck knows what he's doing.
Has it even been a week since earlier comments on the situation, where he quoted Holocaust denier Stew Peters?
The Biden White House and Dr Fauci warmed us up for this, but everyone was too busy ignoring the folks they said would "fall by the wayside" and gleefully throwing away their masks to listen.
This. Pathological lying, manipulation, deception and propaganda are all communication skills first.
Good communicator out of necessity. Man has a lot to hide. Though he's not working hard to do so. Hasn't even been a week since he was sharing content from Stew Peters. We have no reason to trust "reformed" neo-nazi types who see a path to power via performative bro-hood on Pod Save America.
Trade restrictions they're going to enact anyway. At random. As they feel like it. With no help from the law, at least in part because we proved today that no law will be upheld to govern western tyrants.
Guys he's not starting a war to distract from the Epstein files. He's starting a war because he wants to start a war. Killing people in other countries makes him horny. If it also distracts from the Epstein files, great, but he doesn't really give a shit either way.
What the fuck is Mark Carney doing?
The Liberals certainly didn't run on a platform of encouraging American aggression and violation of international law. And yet, here we are.
Cruel and dehumanizing. Spending $ for tech to police staff instead of investing it to improve morale by paying staff more, and improving customer experience through costs and quality. The stuff proven to work.
Tired of these sleazy techbro CEOs and their investors using us as AI guinea pigs.
Insulting to see the rhetoric around the Labour loss, from calling the Greens extremists to panicking over having to "quickly appeal to the progressive wing."
Like all mainstream centre-lefts, the immediate solution is stop doing the opposite of what you ran on. Start working for who elected you.
“Across all the platforms the researchers analyzed, X hosted the highest volume of conspiracy claims … Users of X were ‘significantly more likely to be aware of and endorse conspiratorial claims than users of other platforms or infrequent social media users.’”
It's almost as if a significant portion of Labour voters actually want progressive policies and a better future, and the alienated centrist vote mainstream centre-left parties around the world are courting instead won't save them, no matter how much they beg. Maybe because they don't exist. Shocker
Means is a freak, but she's a freak created and empowered by our collective racism and hatred of different bodies. Fatness, Blackness disability, chronic illness. We bring bodyfascism into our lives every day, and this is what we get.
Not one major US media outlet had a damn thing to say when Trump called Orban the international leader he got on with and admired most during the 2024 campaign debate. Not one.
I can't get over how one of my city's local menaces (and I say that with love) is now on the radar of the host of Jeopardy. What an absolute delight.
