Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I agree with him on Canada and France (I don't really know enough about Australia). This Canadian election only postponed the conservatives winning the next one and doing shock-therapy style economics. France is looking to go the same way.
It's unfortunate that it feels like actual leftist options are out of the mainstream in elections and people don't even know it because they think people like Macron and Carney are leftists (or anti-fascists) which is just wrong. It does feel like the centrists are stuck in the old word order where you follow free market doctrine and hope that exploitation of the third world bails you out. That and they continue being dogs for the US, but they obviously don't like Trump and yet this is not enough for them to peel away from the US (I guess cause they still think he is just a phase and they can work with the next democrat president?).
The centrists ability to not do anything but light neoliberalism makes fascism in these countries inevitable, especially when they get their power from being an alternative to the right and repress anything on the left.
Basically, libs will be doing more of the same going forward so none of the underlying causes will be addressed.
