This isnt about protecting kids, its about age verifying and de-anonymising everyone. Australia has already gone down this road, dont fall for the trap.

When I called my federal representative about the laws and the miles wide holes in Australian privacy laws and more particularly who would be responsible for covering the costs associated with helping citizens recover in the cases of rampant identity theft these laws are going enable, I got assurances that the eSafety Commissioner would be able to hold large tech companies to account. I pointed out that if Meta was to suffer a breach that exposed the details of say a thousand Australians I could see them ponying up the fine, just cost of doing business, if the details of 2 million Australians got leaked then with potential fines stretching into the billions why would they even fight it, so much simpler to cut Australia off like a gangrenous limb. I was assured that the eSafety commissioner would be monitoring these large companies to ensure their data security was up to standard, I laughed. I was told that our parliament may be looking in to strengthening data protection laws and was promised an email with details about this (3 weeks ago with not even a message to say sorry for the delay). I was thoroughly disgusted, this I'll thought out plan to scrape as much data as Australians can be tricked into handing over is going to result in massive costs to the tax payer before too long. Discord has already leaked data related to age verification and Australia hasn't even got its law started yet.

I really think we need remove a lot of the protections from Politicians: "You want to spy on the Australian public at the behest of a shadowy cabal of Intelligence Community wonks? Ok we can do that, but you are personally liable for it when it goes wrong, you will be personally paying all the costs associated with the following scenarios we are categorically stating will occur if you proceed with this nonsense. If you do not have sufficient money to cover these costs all of your assets will be sold and you will become an indentured servant of the Australian public until your debt is cleared."

I got an interesting response when I told the guy at the MPs office that I would shutdown or abandon any app, website or service that demanded my ID. There is no service online which is worth providing a drivers license or sufficient photos to create a reasonable reproduction of my face.

I dont even think this is related to the intelligence community, who are happy to spy on anyone regardless of age, I think it's just a poorly thought out law.

They definitely need to own the responsibility though. When these ID databases leak, and they will, hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people are going to be caught up in the mess, such as:

Closeted LGBTQ individuals, who may get outed.
Domestic violence victims trying to escape.

Doxing/Outing these people will result in significant harm, upto and including death. These inevitable deaths with be on the politicians hands.

And the worst part? It won't stop kids getting online or bullying each other.

Personally, I may just intentionally leak my drivers licence online, and get it reissued or something. Give plausible deniability to anything that happens associated with the ID. Not sure exactly what the ramifications are for doing that though.

I think pretty solidly this is being driven by business and intelligence communities, our police and spy agencies have been trying to get around encryption and online anonymity for years. They desperately want to be able to tie every bit of data that moves around the internet to an individual without getting the courts involved, and bear in mind since Australia is a Five Eyes nation not all of that pressure is onshore. It is getting the limpest push back from these big tech companies though because how much more valuable is your advertising profile if they can associate it with tour government ID, or birth certificate, or confirmed validated biometric data.

I know of a Telco that had to pay to move a family to a different state after they provided their address to a man who posed a credible risk to their lives. They had to buy this family a new house, pay movers, and buy then a new car. The telco preempted the court on this so it wouldn't become a national story in the media and they could minimise the eventual fine they faced.

That one incident 2 decades ago cost more than half a million dollars to fix, uprooted a family and caused unknown amounts of trauma. Do we seriously think Twitter will take a similar incident as seriously? Google? Facebook? But I guarantee they will slurp up every bit of data they can.

I think kids shouldn't have smart phones at all. Banning from social media is the wrong way to handle it. Parent's need to be held accountable for allowing their kids to have too much phone time. It rots the brain. There are way too many kids that can't read, do basic math, or do anything by themselves without the help of AI. It's ridiculous.

Smart phones are by them self fine. It's no different then when we were kids with a gameboy and a cheap prepaid flip phone

Like what's actually fucking the problem with smart phones? It's a camera phone and Gameboy all in one. There's nothing inherently problematic with that

Every problem people always bitch about are various apps and companies and have absolutely fucking shit and all to do inherently with the phone it self.

Proper parenting, and bitch slapping the dipshits companies shoving additive and invasive software at kids is the solution.

Not getting rid of a useful tool that kids should learn to properly utilize and one of the single largest tools of safety for kids.

As usual, here are my (extremely) unpopular opinions:
1: This ban is made to extend to smartphones for children overall, allowing some abuse situations to be carried out without risk. Furthermore, this might (later) extend to some workers, women overall, then lower “castes” and classes.
2: This is another way for Chat Control to also be implemented later, by setting the roots for such.

Oh, another thing: using age as a metric is darn stupid — aren't some of the worst leaders actually quite… elderly?

He literally makes an analogous comparison in the first sentence to cigarettes and social media.

And for the record, I completely disagree with your apples vs oranges dismissal.

They are not apples and oranges, as both cigarettes and social media use are directly linked to statistically significant poor health outcomes in people who use them.

But, if you really have a problem with that comparison, you should have replied to the person who introduced that lengthy line of conversation and not just people quickly responding to it.

Maybe instead of banning social media there should be some sort of consensus as to how social media should operate. Get rid of algorithms designed to become addicting or push products harmful to people. Reduce advertisements. Don't push content that's from around the world, focus on things immediately connected to someone's life like posts from friends and family not Rogan and Tate.

parents need to "parent" their children. sorry but children are a LOT of work, and parents need to stop assuming that school, TV or the internet is a easy babysitter. you can ban whatever you like, but there are still people in the park with needles in their arms. you need to have the parents EDUCATED on how to monitor what their children are doing. is it spying on your kid? YES and we need to normalize that. maybe some people will have to give up the overtime that pays for that vacation every year. some might have to buy a smaller house so someone can work only 3 or 4 days a week. might have to give up a new smartphone every year. might have to give up A LOT MORE so your children grow up the way you want them to by being there.

I guess in a way that's what it offers, just that instead of an algorithm it's human curated. Mastodon is a lot about boosts, so following someone doesn't mean just following them, but also being subjected to whatever they boost (unless you silence their boosts of course). So if you're interested in pottery and you follow a pottery starter pack, chances are that feed will end up a curated channel of pottery content.

The great thing is that it has quality control and cannot be abused the same way algorithmic feeds always end up being. The funky thing is, of course, that you also end up being exposed to everything else those people are interested in. But I think that's part of what makes Mastodon feels so nice.

Bluesky pioneered a brilliant solution to this “empty feed problem” in 2024, with the introduction of “Starter Packs”, a feature that allows users to curate and share their own collections of recommended accounts.

Bluesky pioneered, eh? I distinctly remember using a feature called "circles" on Google+ back in 2011. It allowed people to create arbitrary "circles" of people, share them and have others bulk-follow/unfollow the people from a circle. It worked incredibly well and Google+ became a lively social network even with its small userbase at the time.

I really don't understand the point of packs when Mastodon has hashtag follows. Mastodon is already winning in terms of discovery here and in fact I still don't use Bluesky because its impossible to discover content there.

On Bluesky you get a pack of people but in linear timelines the power spammers just take over and then you have to do all that personal curation anyway but it's often even a worse starting point than just blank slate. With hashtag following I just subscribe to #fediverse and discover new content and creators organically.

Instead I'd like to see Mastodon commit more to organic discovery rather than consolidation of power users by expanding post classification system like using AI classification that attaches topic hashtags to posts etc to help users discover content they actually want to see not follow personalities.

GE-Proton10-20 Released

HOTFIX:

removed unnecessary webview2 patch (fixes Forza Horizon 5 login never opening)
added workaround to allow darkwinter software region version of Girls Frontline 2: Exilium to work

About webview2 patches:

Originally in wine 9 a stub was introduced which fixes/allows webview2 to install properly. This fixed webview2 installation for vermintide 2 as well as the Haoplay version of Girls Frontline 2: Exilium. Unfortunately the Haoplay version requires additional missing functionality in wine to work properly (it currently is still broken), so supplementary webview2 patches were added which were proposed to upstream wine for a merge request (separate from the original stub that was accepted). The additional patches were not accepted, and in addition, broke the login prompt for Forza Horizon 5. Additionally they did not help with getting the Haoplay version of Girls frontline 2: Exilium to work, therefore there is no point in keeping them.

As of now without the supplemental patches FH5 login and the Darkwinter Software version of Girls Frontline 2: Exilium are working. The difference between the Darkwinter Software version and the Haoplay version is only in region coverage. Darkwinter Software covers North America, Australia, New Zealand, and Ireland, while Haoplay covers most European countries and the United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan

SOLVED: Ethernet stopped working hours after installation. Wifi works OK.

Another Windows migrant here. I can’t get my ethernet to work but wifi works OK. I am almost certain that when I installed Debian Trixie with KDE Plasma a few weeks ago, ethernet worked but it stopped a day or so later. Info Centre reports:

I deleted the wired connection in System Settings | Wi-Fi & Networking and it was recreated which probably suggests the ethernet connection is detected even if the fields there are all blank. Also, the internet traffic plasmoid shows enx0050b6c0f7f3 with around 1/5 of the cumulative traffic of wifi.

I tried the obvious things, just in case. I disabled the firewall, restarted the router, deleted the wired connection, played with settings in Wi-Fi & Networking and tried dhcpcd.

Not sure if this is relevant, but DCHP is handled by pi.hole on a Raspberry Pi. This has been working serving multiple devices for a long time without issues. Also, this is temporarily a dual boot Windows/Linux setup. When I log out and into Windows, everything works as ever.

After several days trying, I ran out of ideas. Can someone help please.

EDIT: SOLVED! In case it helps others, reading wiki.debian.org/NetworkManager closely, I ran nmcli device which showed that specific ethernet interface as 'unmanaged'. I am not sure why. Then, I followed the instructions below:

If you want NetworkManager to handle interfaces that are enabled in /etc/network/interfaces:
Set managed=true in a drop-in file in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.d/ or directly in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.

Debian documentation could be more accessible, but it is invaluable. Thanks all for your help.

If you are dual booting make sure that windows fast boot is disabled.

Fast boot is a bastardized version of hibernation which can keep hardware "in use" by windows if any other OS tries to use the hardware.

One of the common issues is ethernet & wifi not working or not connecting.

And specifically this can be tested by a restart from the Windows side rather than a shutdown, which should actually release the hardware.

It's not a true hibernation state hence my statement "Fast boot is a bastardized version of hibernation".

It's a hybrid sleep/hibernate system that causes more problems than it should.

Not all hardware works with it, it causes problems with updates and some software does not play nicely with it.

I know of a number of business IT departments that disable it company wide as it is a considerable source of problems.

Interesting. Just tested, and my ethernet works in a live USB session, so it doesn't look like it is locked by Windows. Also, I have been properly shutting down, only logging into debian for a couple of weeks but the problem persists.

From what I can see on my phone, NetworkManager is enabled but not running. What happens if you do sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager or just do a reboot? If it stays "loaded" instead of "running" after, check the logs with journalctl -xeu NetworkManager (pgup and pgdown to scroll)

Actually, it says:

Active:active](Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/](Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service;enabled; preset: enabled)

And wifi works OK.

journalctl -xeu NetworkManager | grep enx0 gives:

It is a mystery why ethernet works as expected in a live USB session, but it doesn't in the installed setup even though it is detected and there is no error message.

enx0 is your wifi, nothing wrong there. Look for enp0 instead, that's your ethernet.

Grepping for the interface may not be what you need to do, if NetworkManager is not bringing your ethernet up due to a different issue, so you'll want to reboot and look at the logs again starting from the latest restart (it'll mark that with a date/time stamp in the logs).

Boot into a live usb. They're great for debugging stuff like this and giving you some clues.

If it works, it's not a hardware or windows issue. If it doesn't, it might be.

in reply to yaroto98 • 2 settimane fa • •

Good idea. With the live USB my ethernet works fine right from the start. So, it's not hardware or windows. The one difference I see between the live USB and my current setup is that in the live USB session sudo systemctl status NetworkManager.servicereturns also the line below which is missing when I execute the command in my actual setup:

audit: op="statistics" interface="enx0050b6cOf7f3" if index=3 args="2000" pid= 1957 uid=1000 result="success"

But Info Center in KDE Plasma lists "enx0050b6cOf7f3" as in my original post.

So, ethernet hardware functions, it works as expected with live USB and Windows. In the debian setup it is detected with an inet address, but NetworkManager ignores it.

DHCP also works -- my wifi connection in this debian setup works, as do several devices connected to wifi and ethernet.

Typically my debugging process goes like this :

error message? Search for it online with the most unique keyword that aren't machine specific
- solutions provided?
- solution understood? try it then loop back, writing notes in own wiki
- solution not understood? bookmark it then try understood solutions first, if not try and loop back
no error message?
- find where the error message is!
- what actually produce the error from the top of the stack? end-user software? service? kernel? hardware? where do they put logs?
  - if logs exist and verbosity is not sufficient, increase verbosity and reproduce the problem
- if no verbose enough error message can be obtained, repeat the situation in various conditions
  - does any condition make it work?
  - search on the difference between the working and non-working condition
  - backtrack one layer up the stack, e.g. if end-user software does not change, try service, etc
  - does this one provide logs?

So... it's basically always the same, namely try the lazy way (error log search) and if that's not enough, try further down the stack or more unknown BUT always get information out the try.

TL;DR: I have no idea but if another new machine (e.g. phone) can connect then DHCP works. FWIW NetworkManager logs are in journalctl -u NetworkManager and you can manually add/remove Ethernet connections. I'd physically unplug then plug back the cable with WiFi disabled.

Also FWIW if I wouldn't get an answer within few hours and I knew for a fact that with a fresh install it worked, I'd re-install.

It's perfectly fine to do the process again as it insures your files are safe (either working backup or separate disks, or ideally both) and you know what software is relevant for you, that your configuration files are well known, etc.

Installing a distribution should be a painless and quick process.

in reply to Stopwatch1986 • 1 settimana fa • •

Might as well reinstall at this point and for future reference. You shouldn't just delete your network connection and firewall and throw stuff at the wall to fix it. A lot of this stuff is set up by a script during install and it only runs once so if you break it, you are going to need much deeper knowledge to fix it without a reinstall. You likely made new problems which makes finding your actual issue nearly impossible now. If you have a single issue it's easier to find. If you have two issues there is no way to know if anything you did actually fixed it unless you get lucky and fix both issues at once.

This sounds obvious but I recently didn't realize that you had to click on the network connections and actually click, connect, to get it to connect on Ethernet in my distro. This is a quirk that I didn't realize that Linux had. Windows just automatically connects to Ethernet, Linux probably doesn't do this because it's a security risk.

This seems like the type of issue that chatGPT could really help with. With a few console commands you could verify that the system is seeing the network adapter and is communicating with it properly and try to list the networks directly, giving you a better clue as to where the chain is broken.

Either way might as well reinstall at this point.

EU to curb Russian diplomats’ travel as suspected spy attacks mount

cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/43656968

Archived
EU governments have agreed to limit the travel of Russian diplomats within the bloc, in response to a surge in sabotage attempts that intelligence agencies say are often led by spies operating under diplomatic cover.
Moscow-sponsored intelligence operatives have been blamed for escalating provocations against Nato states — from arson and cyber attacks to infrastructure sabotage and drone incursions — in what EU security services call a co-ordinated campaign to destabilise Kyiv’s European allies.
The proposed rules will force Russian diplomats posted in EU capitals to inform other governments of their travel plans before crossing beyond the border of their host country.
The initiative, championed by the Czech Republic, is part of a fresh set of sanctions being drawn up by Brussels in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The package requires unanimous support to be adopted. Hungary, the last country opposed to the measure, has dropped its veto, two people briefed on the negotiations said.
[...]
EU intelligence agencies say that Russian spies, posing as diplomats, often run assets or operations beyond their host countries, in order to better elude counter-espionage surveillance.
“They are posted to one place — but work in another,” said a senior EU diplomat, citing intelligence reports. “The host country intelligence services know what they are up to but, if they cross the border, it can be harder for that country to keep tabs on them.”
[...]
’’There is no ‘Schengen for Russia,’ so it makes no sense that a Russian diplomat accredited in Spain can come to Prague whenever he likes,’’ he told the FT. ‘‘We should apply strict reciprocity to the issuance of short-stay, diplomatic visas under the Vienna Convention.”
In 2014 the Czech Republic suffered one of Russia’s worst sabotage attacks on EU soil when explosions at an ammunition warehouse in Vrbětice killed two people. Prague attributed the attack to agents from Russia’s foreign intelligence agency GRU.

Herzlians repeatedly oversimplify the Orthodox Jewish opposition to Zionism as a mere question of timing: if the Moshiach arrived, then Orthodox Jews would support Zionism. In reality, the occupation violates numerous Judaic rules: its very founding in 1948 involved the theft of land as well as the slaughter of innocents.

A few weeks ago I was rereading Isaiah, and while I am well aware that it could not possibly have been referring to events in the distant future, it could hardly be more relevant today. Isaiah 3:

G-d enters the courtroom.
He takes his place at the bench to judge his people.
G-d calls for order in the court,
hauls the leaders of his people into the dock:
“You’ve played havoc with this country.
Your houses are stuffed with what you’ve stolen from the poor.
What is this anyway? Stomping on my people,
grinding the faces of the poor into the dirt?”

Isaiah 4:

Doom to you who buy up all the houses
and grab all the land for yourselves—
Evicting the old owners,
posting no trespassing signs,
Taking over the country,
leaving everyone homeless and landless.
I overheard G-d-of-the-Angel-Armies say:
“Those mighty houses will end up empty.
Those extravagant estates will be deserted.
A ten-acre vineyard will produce a pint of wine,
a fifty-pound sack of seed, a quart of grain.”

They really are doing this to themselves.

For anyone wondering what’s going on, rice prices in Japan have been skyrocketing for a number of reasons (harvests, workers, etc). However their laws are so protectionist and their nationalism is so strong, they only want Japanese grown rice and refuse to import/place massive tariffs on imports.

For a country that rice is basically their largest staple, this is starting to have a big impact due to prices which is why this is happening.

There is not a global shortage, and prices are reasonable everywhere else, they just refuse to give in to help out their citizens.

The Dahiya doctrine and Hannibal directive are key to making sense of Israel's actions in Gaza over the past two years, and yet the BBC hasn't mentioned them once in its coverage since 7 October 2023. Harriet Williamson reports.

First sentence is wrong:

Since 7 October 2023, Israel has waged a brutal war on Gaza

It was Hamas that invaded Israel on Oct 7th starting a brutal war they had no hope of winning, killing 65,000 civilians which they have admitted they are ok with dying for the publicity

Stopped after that, sounds like more left wing opinionated bullshit to me

I never read that Israel represents all Jews, nor how opposing genocide is antisemitic. I'd strongly argue that a country committing genocide while claiming to represent all Jews are actually engaging in antisemitism, especially since those they are genociding are semitic people.

People like this want you conflate "the country of Israel" with "all ethnic/religious Jewish people everywhere"

It allows them to more easily call people antisemitic when you criticize the Israeli government.

Even IF Israeli intelligence hadn't ignored reports of potential attacks, and even IF they hadn't intentionally lowered security in order to make potential attacks worse, all in order to give them and excuse to do the thing they already wanted to do, committing genocide in response is a FULL FUCKING STOP "no"

hi. cultural inheritor of the jewish identity here. a genocide in my name against my semitic cousins is antisemitic in that the core value of my jewish identity is standing against opression. to say that my identity is meant to be a particular form of oppressor is hate towards the jewish identity. that is how i read that other comment. yes. words do have meanings, and those meanings matter, and you have to look at them and take them on instead of just ignoring them like your comment did

Yeah: how come Israel now pretends that Arabs are not semitic??

& how come everybody's been accommodating that?

"Anti-semitic" originally meant anti semitic people, which included Jews & Arabs, both..

I like how you casually claim Hamas held Israeli territory IN THE FRONTIER OF OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN LAND.

FFS. The Gaza Prison Breakout is analogous to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, a response to 75 years of ethnic cleansing and shooting children in the knees for sport, 16 years of illegal military land sea and air siege where Israel calculated the caloric input to keep Palestinians in Gaza on a "starvation plus" diet.

I've never read about Palestinian children or moms or civilians attacking Israel in any way shape or form and yet the vast VAST VAST majority of these victims of GENOCIDE are innocent civilians that had NOTHING to do with Hamas.

I wouldn't t give a single fuck if Israel obliterated every last member of Hamas in the sort of targeted surgical strikes that an advanced military/intelligence power like Israel is capable of, but instead they chose to level Gaza and starve it's people into submission. Not even Putin's Russia have been so egregious with their targeting of innocent civilians, meanwhile Gaza has an 83% CIVILIAN CASUALTY RATE

Stop wasting time trying to convince people blatant genocide isn't genocide. Stop being a fucking genocidal Nazi.

ttbomk, hamas won't allow non-involvement:

They won't permit any social-services to be neutral, they won't permit any operating-business to be neutral, they won't tolerate neutrality.

Same as the zionists won't.

Ideology is threatened by neutrality, so they force-eradicate it, wherever it tries growing.

Leninism eradicates considered-reasoning from "education" in order to produce the ideological-population that Leninism wants,

exactly the same as the Republicans eradicate considered-reasoning from their "education", in order to *produce the ideological-population that their ideology wants.*

Ideology HATES neutrality, rabidly

The ONLY way that Palestine could possibly have been kept from this, is if decades ago the UN had displaced all the ideologues from authority in the territory, & absolutely-blocked them from from even influencing gov't, essential-services, education, etc, until 3-ish generations of people had grown-up in that considered-reasoning-and-meritocracy paradigm,

& then the ideologues-murdering-considered-reasoning-from-our-world would be retired-out from all authority

( Max Planck's ~ Science progresses funeral by funeral: as the old-guard die off, the population becomes made-of people who grew-up-with the new paradigm, & they accept it ~ is exactly this principle, simply in a different domain )

But NO ideology would tolerate that: not zionist not hamas.

So, genociding it is, then, inevitably..

Until the rampaging-rabies has overwhelmed the entire world, all religions, all political-ideologies, all food-insecurity-migrations, all supremacisms, all together, combined, & then humankind can manufacture the "apocalypse" that makes its unconscious-mind/ego feel important ( which is mostly what's really going on, during this ClimatePunctuation, tbh )

The Great Filter: unconscious-mind's ego-rabies rampaging in a manufactured ClimatePunctuation, trying to prove that ego-importance and unconscious-ignorance is "THE ONLY GOD", until .. until there's nothing left.

We're failing The Great Filter, iow, & digging our world-species's grave, with every such torquing/ignoring.

Here's another angle:

Have you noticed that the "populist" ideologues are gaining power throughout the West?

They're no-more tolerating of neutrality than hamas or the zionists are.

It isn't just the people in Palestine who got highjacked & machiavellianly pwned, it is us, too!

We're just not-yet at the final-butchery stage, yet ( wait a few more years, & look around the remains of our countries .. & see, then, what happens when right-wing ideologues, equivalents to hamas, rule our countries )

ttbomk, the "fear the Jews: they are behind all evil" conspiracist-nationalists do hold such things to be true.

And they are vocal about it, so your not having heard about such things doesn't mean that such assertions are not made.

I was told, a few decades ago, that in Europe the centuries-long sequence went sorta like this:

Jews are farmers
conspiracist-nationalists spread fear about "Jews are taking/owning all our farmland", so therefore..
farmland gets taken away from Jews, which means, that they have to earn a living by other means, so therefore
they become clockmakers, lawyers, doctors, etc, which therefore
creates leverage for conspiracists to assert that they're conspiring & taking all these skilled-work jobs, because it's their world-subjugation program..

etc..

IOW, it doesn't matter what people do: prejudice is going to claim "justification", relentlessly.

Machiavellianism is a mental-illness, or worse, a hardwiring-of-brain.

Here's some objectivity, however..

Careful with these kind of bias or fact checkers, as they're only relevant on the left/center/right axis, which is a biased framework in and of itself. A centered position, which these checkers claim to be the least biased, are absolutely dependant on the Overton window and that window is currently so far off to the right, that any slightly leftist position might seem radical or even unthinkable.

It also only makes sense, if you are some kind of hyper centrist, absolutely ignoring what "right" and "left" actually mean and then proclaim that the center is a good thing and any extreme perspective off from the center is a bad thing. That's either willfully ignorant or a right-wing perspective trying to appease to unpolitical people.

This fact checker also proclaims mixed factual reporting in their summary, but in the segment it says "Failed Fact Checks: None in the Last 5 years". This is dumb and misleading.

One can see this kind of bias by them branding "concern for climate change, and racial-social equality" as far-left perspectives, while a sane person would see these things as the fucking bare minimum. Everything less than that is de facto regressive and right-wing.
