I’m not in the US so that’s your first fuck up.

Secondly, the misused ‘they’re’ was me not proofreading autocorrect too closely while I was on the train this morning.

You are an insufferable elitist bore.

for what is essentially uncharted territory.

Neoliberalism has been very well explored for the last 45 years and has failed. It is a dead ideeology that needs to be assigned to the dustbin of history as a terribly shit idea.

Even if we know the truth and scream it from the rooftops, it does nothing. They’ve polluted the truth so much it’s become too much of a burden for many to want to deal with.

If you havent, you should watch an Adam Curtis documentary called "The Power Of Nightmares"

It has diverted traffic and money away from sites such as Twitter, FB and Amazon after TT videos called them out and offered alternatives or avoiding completely/anticonsumerism perspectives.

That's them being an elitist prick, full of English exceptionalism.

You could look through their previous comments and probably find that they invariably wear the badge of "political moderate" but their world view based around their superiority seeps through eventually.

There appears to be a lack of "centrist", non-political, or right-wing voices (and I don't mean extreme MAGA-type views, but rather more moderate conservative positions).

TBF, they don't exist.

They're might be some that on appearance hold reasonable views that are considered centrist /moderate conservative but if their privilege is questioned or their fragile egos get scuffed, they always and invariably go full on far right.

Their moderate views are just a veneer that are held to appear as such and never stand up to pressure.
