"We as citizens will need to be assured that a new government would have faith in democracy, Europeanism and freedom guaranteed by law,” Olga Tokarczuk’s says two weeks before Poland goes to the polls in a potentially pivotal election on 15 October.

"We need assurances that such a government would listen to us and respond to our needs, and not, like the present one, subordinate the majority of citizens to anachronistic ‘traditional values’ adhered to only by a 30% minority,”

I bet my ass, if I go take a closer look at this account, it will be a "super leftist", concerned about politicians, corporations and the ultra rich doing what they want in our democracies, but all comments specifically blame leftist parties and never rightist ones.

I bet they post lots of comments how we have to "raise up" against the police and corporations and corruption, but never vote for leftist parties because they all betray us and they are controlled by money anyways.

I'm actually a member of a Leftwing party in my home country and was a Greenparty member when I lived in the UK, so cheers for the laugh.

Loved your simpleton take that since I don't agree with the neoliberal newspaper (their solution for most problems is some kind of project which is invariably to be executed by the private sector) that passes for "Left"wing in the UK (which is so far to the Right as countries go that they have an anti-immigrant nationalist far-right party in government) I must be a far-right type doing a "performance", an extra special take because it betrays how your political "thinking" is anchored in a Two-Sides Logical Falacy, only possible with amazingly stupid people and those who never actually thought their politics through from basic Principles.
