I've been a bit of a warrior on twitter in the past fighting the climate change deniers, the anti-vaxxers, and the covid conspiracists, and ended up getting blocked by a number of people. I've learnt, though, how to be far more diplomatic and how far I can push it. And I also got fed up with prolonged debates, so nowadays I just put a tweet out, say my bit, and that's it.

The populist left have so much in common with the populist right, who are both very influenced by the libertarian, James Corbett, someone who's views I don't get along with all that much, although the same things concern us. But ultimately, I believe governments can be a force for good, unlike Corbett, which is what the MMTers believe too, which is probably one of the reasons why I like it so much. 

Joe Biden says social media platforms such as Facebook “are killing people” for allowing disinformation about coronavirus vaccines to be posted on its platform, as the administration continued criticising the company.


“They’re killing people. ... Look, the only pandemic we have is among the unvaccinated. And they’re killing people,” the US president told reporters at the White House on Friday, when asked about disinformation and what his message was to social media platforms such as Facebook.
