The most important task of democrats is not to change the minds of far-rightists — they are a minority and hard to change. The most important task of democrats is to change the minds of people who believe “the left” or “the establishment” are worse than the far right.

Left block is expected to win the elections, as also pre-election polls predicted, but more reliable predictions will come in an hour or so. #Val2026 🇸🇪

“I said I’d do politics differently” so I use the far-right social media site to promote the same narratives and politics that have strengthened and empowered the far right.

The far right always comes to power because part of the establishment feels more threatened by the left than by the far right.

Yet again, lefties have hled their nose and voted for a right-winger to save democracy from the far right. Contrast that to the large number of right-wingers who consistently chose far-right candidates over even centrists.

This critique is accurate but misses the main point - as so many accounts of politics do: the ideological context. These consultants are a symptom of the problem, not the cause. They are only so powerful because neoliberal ideology has captured our universities. 1/2

Not too shocking from an extremist like Fuentes. What worries me is how seemingly harmless debates about collapsing birthrates from your favourite podcast bro (Williams, Bartlett et al.) increasingly appear to be pipelines to more anti-feminist, misogynist, even far-right great replacement ideas. 1/
