“lure”

more like “help them make the move” its not like the need any luring

Being authoritarian doesn’t make you “far left” it makes you “authoritarian”.

Because the neoliberal political elite expends much more effort de-fanging leftist movements and co-opting them than quelling the far right.

Notice how the major “leftist party” in much of the west is basically neoliberalism while maybe adding a little to welfare.

So yeah I think when inevitable discontent comes from inequality, the left has been defanged, it’s kind of inevitable the facists win.

And yet, they wont do anything about it.

Tusk is the classic, centrist who puts off the far right for a little bit but doesn’t actually fix most of the glaring problems so the far right will win within the next couple election cycles anyways.

See: Macron, Biden, Starmer, Carney, Albanese.

Neoliberal centrists who dont dare tackle the big issues.

*In an opinion poll

I mean lets not confuse an opinion poll with the truth. These things regularly get things a couple points off. In fact that’s the norm.

Yup. That’s what happens when we hand over all the power to a few people.

We get excited when those priviledged people, who are literally the ones who oppress us, make choices that helps us a little.

So America wants to join the European Market?

Oh how the tables turn.

What? I’m guessing Taiwan isn’t a real country. People in Hong Kong didn’t have right to self determination.

The bulletts in fired on the Indian border were fake news?

To have true democracy, we need bans on coorporate lobbying and coorperate financing of campaigns. Until then, nearly every major party will be bought up by corporate interests.

Absolutely based. So much respect.

As george monbiot said, Russia, US, Israel are forming an axis of autocracy, along with smaller states like Hungary.

I guess the americans like their medicine even more expensive than the ridiculous profit margins our pharmaceuticals already claim?

The state wants to keep its monopoly on violence.

As a long COVID advocate, we’ve tried and tried sharing our stories and all we get is ridicule and “why didn’t you try acupuncture and exercise”. So we’re starting to focus more on the economic impacts as the average person seems to actually care about that.

(so she’s on probation for two years in practice, better than nothing I guess.)

“sound” is a big word, for a justice system that perpetuates state violence and mistreats immigrants and disabled people.

But yes, the french system is more successful at holding politicians accountable than the US.

Where did they launch from?

Any pretty much everything east of Ural mountains was colonised by Russian slavs. The native indigenous peoples often do not consider themselves russian.
