Maybe, just maybe, liberal democracies need to do a better job solving problems for constituents and less time fellating billionaires.
That might help.
I mean, when I see a right-wing populist telling me they can fix all my problems, I know they're a lying, opportunistic piece of shit, but I can also see the appeal because at least they're saying that there's problems and that they'll do something, which is more than milquetoast centrists will do.
When someone tells you you that they're planning Night of the Long Knives, you should believe them.
Russia can stop any time they want to.
"Do no evil" really never had a chance, did it?
If by “organized crime" they mean "organized by Loblaws' price gouging", then yes.

What's depressingly unsurprising about those stats is that the shittier the food, the lower the GP%.
Oh sorry, you want real cheese and not extruded plastic masquerading as a dairy-like substance? Better pay more. Want something more sustainable, like oat milk? 55% markup.
And people wonder why the poor are less healthy. Fuck these fucking ghouls.
Russian money ain't worth what it used to be, so Orban needs a new sugar daddy.
Well, yes, it did.
It caused all of the racists who had kept their worst instincts under wraps since 1960 to freak out.
Putting aside the obvious concerns, a mayor doing this and using "it's the same as the maintenance guy" should be a red flag.
