Some of us have been aware of the abusive ways of Kiev. Others, not so much. They are the flag wavers, including in my own neighbourhood. It is so cringe worthy. They didn’t want freedom for themselves of their fellow Canadians since the media told them Canadians who wanted freedom were bad! And now they wave flags in support of abusers in Kiev and neo nazi thugs. What a world!

The Left’s Covid Failure

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)

Mainly, though, this has been a historic failure from the Left, which will have disastrous consequences. Any form of popular dissent is likely to be hegemonized once again by the (extreme) Right, poleaxing any chance the Left has of winning round the voters it needs to overturn Right-wing hegemony. Meanwhile, the Left holds on to a technocracy of experts severely undermined by what is proving to be a catastrophic handling of the pandemic in terms of social progressivism. As any kind of viable electable Left fades into the past, the discussion and dissent at the heart of any true democratic process is likely to fade with it.
